However, the club has grown a lot since then and we are now one of the biggest junior football clubs in Chester with almost 180 registered players across the age ranges - and we are still growing.

We have been established since 1989 and are run by a committee of parents and maintain a high level of qualified, experienced, valued and permanent staff.

Attending

A few weeks before your child’s third birthday we will contact you to make arrangements for you and your child to attend for a morning session. This will enable you both to become more familiar with the workings and ethos of the school. The days your child attends Pre-School are determined by you and the number of children already attending on that particular day.

Waverton Pre-School is an active member of the Pre-school Learning Alliance, we need and encourage parental involvement. We value the input from parents and carers and so operate a rota system to assist staff in the day to day running of the sessions. This enables parents/carers to help staff and also observe your own child. More details are available in the enrolment pack. We are a well resourced group, due to an actively involved fundraising committee, run by parents. Parents enjoy social events together.

Have fun and learn in a safe and caring environment.

Our group is

· Ofsted Inspected.
