Our Ethos

Our ethos at Gorran Pre-School Hoglets is very simple: we aim to provide the best possible start to our children's education by offering a bright, colourful, safe, secure and happy environment in which they can feel confident to explore, have fun and learn through play.

We believe that children should be able to enjoy playing both indoors and outside, as they choose, throughout the seasons, and that a happy child leads to learning and achievement.
