Stopsley Village Pre-School

About Us

Welcome to Stopsley Village Pre-School! We are a warm and welcoming early-years learning environment located in Luton. Under the leadership of Principal Rochelle Mildon, we strive to provide a caring space where children can explore, learn, and develop foundational skills that prepare them for primary school and beyond.

Our pre-school is committed to fostering a love of learning in each child, encouraging curiosity and creativity through play-based exploration and engaging educational activities. We believe in close communication with families and a community-focused approach, ensuring that every child’s experience is enriched by strong partnerships and shared learning goals.

Our Mission

Our mission is to support every child in reaching their full potential—academically, socially, and emotionally. We believe in:

• Creating a nurturing and inclusive atmosphere where every child feels valued.
• Promoting holistic growth with activities that spark curiosity and creativity.
• Encouraging social skills development through group activities and play.
• Working collaboratively with families and the community for shared success.

By focusing on these core principles, we aim to lay a solid foundation for children’s future academic and personal growth.
