A caring preschool rooted in the local Winchester community
Triangle is part of the local community, and that matters to us. Many of our staff live nearby and care deeply about the families we support. We value strong relationships – with children, parents and the wider community – and that sense of familiarity helps children feel settled and secure.
A nurturing environment where every child is seen
We understand that every child is different. Some children arrive ready to join in confidently from day one. Others need time, reassurance and a few extra cuddles while they build confidence at their own pace.
Through our key worker system, each child forms a strong, trusting bond with a familiar adult. This helps them feel safe, understood and supported as they grow in confidence and independence.
Building independence and friendships
We place great importance on helping children develop independence and positive relationships. Through play, shared routines and gentle encouragement, children learn to:
- make choices
- take turns
- build friendships
- feel confident being part of a group
Many of our staff live locally and care passionately about the local community.
Our preschoolers go on to a variety of local schools, primarily Weeke Primary School and Harestock Primary School, taking with them the friendships they’ve built during their time at Triangle. These familiar faces can make the transition to school feel much less daunting.
Preparing children for school, gently and confidently
In the year children turn four, we focus on developing the skills that teachers tell us are most helpful for starting school. This includes:
- managing personal belongings
- following simple routines
- building confidence to try things independently
We work closely with families during this stage and are always happy to share guidance and ideas for how you can support your child at home too.
