Hello and welcome to the Sticky Fingers web page. We hope you find the page informative, giving you an insight of what we are all about and the fun that we have!!
We have been operating in Templecombe for over 30 years, providing pre-school education between the ages of 2 to school admission age.                                      
We are a registered charity, which is managed by a committee and run on a daily basis by a qualified pre-school supervisor.                                                                                                                            
We our situated on Abbas & Templecombe Primary’s school’s site, in our modern  pre-school classroom, creating a warm, fun and safe, home from home environment where children can play2learn.     

We are open Monday–Friday from 9am till 3.15pm during term time only.                  
Parking is available in Throop road car park.                                                     
The pre-school has good strong links with Abbas & Templecombe Primary School and by being on school site, we can ensure children have a secure and smooth transition into school life. The pre-scholars will gradually get to know their reception class teacher and their new learning environment during our inductions held in the summer term, in preparation for their entry to school.   
The same applies if your child will be attending another local school, we will ensure your child meets their class teacher prior to starting, ensuring a happy transition into school life.

Our aims at Sticky Fingers Pre-School are to:

  • Provide high quality care and education for children primarily below statutory school age
  • To work in partnership with parents to help children to learn and develop their knowledge and understanding of themselves, others and the world around them, through constructive, supervised play and education
  • Add to the life and well being of its local community
  • Offer children and parents a service, which promotes equality and values diversity.

Mary, Milly, Maria, Faye, Sam and Gill from the Sticky Fingers Team look forward to welcoming you and your child and showing you around our facilities. For any more information or to arrange a visit please feel free to call 07742 895967.
