Southville Centre
Raleigh Room
The Raleigh Room is our Term Time Only preschool provision, and in this room we have space for up to 24 children. Children can join the Raleigh Room from the September, January or April after they turn two and nine months. This spacious room encourages children to be inquisitive and investigative with their play. The children are free to be themselves in an environment that is relaxed and engaging. Much like the Stackpool Room and the Ruby Room, the children are encouraged to increase their independence to prepare them for the next stages of their lives at primary school.
This light and airy space provides the perfect setting for your little one to explore with their new friends. All resources are at child level and carefully stored in mesh trays to support independent access and learning. Our pre schoolers can share a book in the reading snug, act out and make sense of real-life situations in the role play area and explore the outdoors in our own little garden.
We are very proud of our brand new Sensory Room, which provides a welcome escape for those who might need a quiet moment to unwind from a busy pre school room. This calm and tranquil space enables children to relax and let their exploratory minds evolve, providing them with the focus and comfort they need to self-regulate effectively.
Attendance in the Raleigh Room is set up for children in receipt of government funding, with families able to access their 15 hours of their Working Family Funding or Universal Funding through two fixed session options:
On top of these core sessions, we also have the following wraparound options which are paid for privately:

See what the Raleigh Room have been up to this month:
June 2024
Raleigh Room have had an extremely busy June. We have been thinking and talking about staying hydrated in the lovely sunshine and decided to make our own lemonade, which we thought was extremely delicious.
As it’s currently Pride month, we have been celebrating being unique and learning that everyone is valued. We had lots of fun decorating our room window to reflect this.
The long-awaited Raleigh Glastonbury event finally took place at the end of June. Excitement levels were high as we made wrist bands, glittered up and took turn to perform on stage.
May 2024
Raleigh Room have been extremely busy this month. One of the things that have been keeping us entertained is our caterpillars. We’ve been so excited watching them grow each day.
We have been green fingered in the garden – the children have planted some sun flowers seeds and made a lovely dinosaur and fairy garden in our small outside space, filling our old sink with different types of herbs. We even planted some strawberry plants to see if we can grow our own snack. To celebrate Upfest, we went on a very long walk to explore the local area and see some of the amazing paintings created as part of the festival, we were so proud of all the children on this adventure.
April 2024
Raleigh Room have been so busy this month, we have packed in lots of activities. In April we started the Neli Language Program which the children have really enjoyed.
We have been working on our phonics by learning the letter sounds of our names and starting to recognise letters around our environment. The children have also been extremely interested in the work going on outside Raleigh Room; Kelly sent some photos to keep the children updated on the progress and they loved taking a look and discussing what was happening.
