Potley Hill Community Preschool began in 1979 and has grown and developed beyond recognition during that time. The preschool is a registered charity, managed by a committee. Located on the Frogmore Community Campus on Reading Road, we are easily accessible for families living in Yateley, Blackwater, Sandhurst, Hawley and the surrounding areas. There is plenty of on-site parking to help with drop off and pick up. Children from 2 years to school age can attend our safe, secure and stimulating environment in which your child can learn and develop. Our keycarer system makes sure all the children/parents have a familiar ‘go to’ adult (or adults). Using the Curiosity Approach, our setting is set up with authentic resources and provocations to spark and encourage imaginative play. As well as our calm and airy preschool room, enclosed outdoor play area and eco garden, we have an onsite Forest School where children, once toilet trained, spend whole sessions. ‘In the moment’ planning allows us to explore all the different directions the children’s play can take and we have visitors whenever possible, like family, the fire brigade, lollipop lady and dentist ! Use of the whole campus grounds and collaboration with the other groups on site mean we have lots of adventures and opportunities to make friendships.

Story

We are seeking funding to install acoustic sound clouds in our preschool learning environment. As a busy early years setting, our rooms are full of energy, conversation and movement — all of which are wonderful, but can also create noise levels that make it harder for children to focus, communicate and feel calm. Acoustic sound clouds will significantly reduce background noise, helping us create a more comfortable, nurturing space where children can thrive.

These improvements will directly support the wellbeing and development of every child in our care. Quieter, softer sound levels make it easier for children to listen, process language, engage in small‑group learning and build positive social interactions. For children with additional needs, sensory sensitivities or speech and language delays, improved acoustics can make an especially meaningful difference.

Like many early years settings, we face rising costs and limited budgets. Funding for acoustic sound clouds would allow us to make a long‑lasting improvement that we could not achieve alone. Your support will help us create a calmer, more inclusive environment where children feel secure, confident and ready to learn.
