Iqra Preschool
Iqra Preschool was founded to empower local communities through education. Our aim was to offer excellent childcare for local families. Research has shown that quality early years education can have a significant impact on the development of children.
Iqra Preschool started operating in September 2014. Since then it has become an established and reputable setting, catering for the local community.
In September 2016 Iqra Preschool was inspected by Ofsted and rated Outstanding in all areas. Just a few weeks later our second provision was rated Good. This is a great achievement for us and a big milestone in our short history. We will endeavour to build on this amazing success and go from strength to strength.
Provision at Iqra is designed to meet the individual needs of every child. Parents play an integral part in their child’s education, hence engaging parents as partners is very important for us. Our focus is always on delivering the highest quality in our provision, service and parent relations.
Wel look forward to warmly welcoming children and parents to the setting.
Our Aims
We believe every child should have the best start in life. Every child should have access to the best possible early education. No child should be left behind due to their social, financial, or racial background.
Iqra Preschool was set up to achieve these aims:
- to provide excellent learning and development opportunities for all children,
- to provide a warm and welcoming environment where children feel safe,
- to help children feel confident about their identity and heritage
- to offer positive role models to inspire confidence
- to instil respect and good manners
We believe parents are the primary carers and aspire to encourage them to play an active part in their child’s education through partnership.
Our Mission
We aim to empower communities through education. We strongly believe quality early years education can have a significant impact on a child’s development. These children will have the best start in life. They will grow up to be responsible members of society and make a positive contribution to their families and communities.

- has a personal key person who makes sure each child makes satisfying progress;
- is in a setting that sees parents as partners in helping each child to learn and develop; and
