Preschools usually work around a formal curriculum and trained teachers - making them a little more expensive! Nursery schools are usually a more relaxed learning environment and more flexible enrolment terms. They are also cheaper and vary greatly.

What age is a preschooler? Ages up to 4 is considered preschooler with toddlers are 1 - 3 year old bracket. Basically 4-year-old are not 'toddling' around any more and so are no longer toddlers!

What does preschool mean? A preschool, or nursery school, is a pre-primary school, or play school for early childhood education. Preschool is for children before they begin compulsory education at primary school. 

Is Pre K considered preschool? Pre K schools are pre-kindergartens.

Splash Academy

Hinchingbrooke School, Brampton Rd, Huntingdon PE29 3BN, UK – 01480 375697

Splash Academy has been fantastic for my girls. They have been going for just over a year now and at the beginning were not very confident about the water. They started at Splash Academy and they have flourished in becoming confident little swimmers and learning a vital life skill. This is all thanks to the wonderful team of instructors. They are friendly, kind,helpful,encouraging and my girls just cannot wait to go to their lesson every week. It is very well priced and very well organised and managed in comparison to other places I looked up. I always get excited about watching week and badge week to see how much further their confidence and swimming ability skills have grown. Thank you to the splash team.

Both my children started in the parent/baby classes and soon gained the confidence to go on their own. They have beautiful techniques and love being in the water. Great, friendly staff.
