Middlestown Primary Academy is proud to announce the opening of its brand new two-year-old provision, Little Hands Pre-School, designed to give children the very best start to their educational journey.

The exciting addition to Middlestown Primary Academy’s highly-regarded early years offering opens its doors in January 2026. Families can apply via their office or website, though places are limited and filling up quickly.

Little Hands is housed in a state-of-the-art modular building, situated safely within the wider school site. Younger children can benefit from the expertise of their highly trained early years specialists, while enjoying the advantages of a smaller, purpose-built toddler environment.

The space is well-equipped with bespoke resources and a wonderful outdoor learning area, so that little ones can explore, imagine and grow.

Families interested in joining Little Hands will be invited to visit, meet staff and experience their school environment first-hand. To support a calm and confident start, all new children will also be offered a home visit, helping them build early relationships with our team in a familiar and comfortable setting.

We are thrilled to open Little Hands in January 2026. At two, a child’s educational journey is just beginning, and we know how important it is to lay the crucial building blocks for long term success and healthy development. This provision will be a valuable addition to our community and will help provide children with a gentler transition to Nursery when the time comes.

Hannah Young, Headteacher at Middlestown Primary Academy

“Little Hands will be overseen by Julia Lilley, our Assistant Headteacher and Early Years Lead, who brings extensive experience across a range of early years settings. She will work alongside a dedicated team of early education specialists, ensuring that every child receives the highest quality care and learning experiences from the very beginning.

“We look forward to welcoming children into this nurturing environment and seeing them thrive. With places already in high demand, we encourage interested families to contact us as soon as possible to secure a place for their child.”
