Our Pre-School
Whizz Kids Pre-School is independently run and set in the heart of the Community of Hockley, Essex. Being independent allows us to forge good links and feed into all the local primary schools. Set in an area surrounded by woodland, we have fantastic outside spaces to use including a field, wooded area and a secure garden. Our large car park offers a safe environment for dropping off and picking up your children. Separate rooms for our younger and older children allows us to deliver more focussed EYFS enabling environments.
Whizz Kids is the start of your child’s journey of learning, provided by experienced, qualified, caring staff who are committed to family values. We have an extensive staff training programme and all Keyworkers have attained a minimum of a level 3 qualification. We are open from 8:30am to 3:00pm Monday to Thursday, and from 08:30am to 1:30pm on Fridays.
