Arnold St Mary’s Pre-School was established 1969 and is a not-for-profit charity, which means that any profit we do make is reinvested into new equipment that the children can enjoy and benefit from.
We are based at the Family Centre on Church Lane, Arnold (behind the church), Nottingham. With excellent staff to child ratios, our team is well-qualified, DBS checked and we pay individual attention to the needs and development of each child.
