Green Shoots Bear Flat

Green Shoots Pre-school opened in September 2013. Judy Scott is the company Director and Pre-school Manager.

She has over 25 years experience of working with children aged 0-7 years including supporting children with Special Educational Needs, a BA Honours Degree in Early Childhood Studies and a wealth of knowledge and experience as a practitioner, manager and parent.

Judy and the wonderful team at Green Shoots have a clear vision and set of values that underpin everything they do.

Placed in the heart of Bear Flat, Bruton Community Hall on Bruton Avenue offers a great location, with easy access to bus routes, the city centre and other local facilities. The hall is spacious and inviting, we share its facilities with local community groups linked to the Beechen Cliff Methodist Church.

Green Shoots is a 32 place pack away setting. We use the main hall, the rainbow room and our engaging outdoor space for the daily pre-school provision and the children attend as a Caterpillar (2-3yrs) or as a Butterfly (3-5yrs). We have sole use of these areas on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays term time only.

We are OFSTED registered and offer Early Years Entitlement (EYE) places for two, three and four year old children.

We are very lucky to have access to local parks and a community allotment. We encourage outdoors in all weathers and regularly go on outings, exploring wildlife and learning about healthy lifestyles. Our key person system allows every child to feel special and included. We plan activities that link in with children’s individual interests and needs.
