About Us

St. Vincent's Pre-school Playgroup and Out of School Club is run by a voluntary committee made up of school, parish and parent representatives. It opened in 1996 and operates from two rooms within a static unit in the grounds of St Vincent de Paul Catholic Primary School in Knutsford. A maximum of 35 children may attend the Pre-school and the Out of School Club at any one time.

The Pre-school is open each weekday from 09.00 to 11.30 and 12.30 to 15.00 term time only. The Out of School Club is open from 08.00 to 09.00 and 15.00 to 18.00 term time only. There is also a lunch club open to Pre-school children which operates from 11.30 to 12.30 every weekday. All children share access to a secure enclosed outdoor play area.


Our Mission

We aim to provide a quality childcare and Pre-school education facility. Working in partnership with parents and their children to meet the needs of individuals and that of the whole group.

We achieve this by having a dedicated and reliable staff team, who are committed to the principles of the very highest quality.


We offer children the opportunity to learn through play in a stimulating and nurturing environment, which in turn gives parents the opportunity to work or train.

We are registered with Children and Families (Surestart) and our most recent Ofsted inspection gave us an 'outstanding' rating on the quality and standards of our nursery education. We have also gained accredited status through the Pre-school Learning Alliance’s Quality Accreditation Scheme.
