Supporting Young Minds, Nurturing Futures
The Ark Pre-School has been part of Liphook’s community for more than three decades, offering high-quality early years education in a setting designed around children’s needs.
Our team is committed to providing a caring and inclusive environment where each child feels valued, supported and inspired to learn.
We offer a rich, play-based curriculum that supports development across all areas — from communication and physical growth to confidence and creativity.
While The Ark is based at Liphook Church Centre and has been shaped by strong community values, we welcome families of all backgrounds and beliefs.
Every child is unique — and at The Ark, we’re here to help them flourish in their own way.
We have a beautifully equipped room dedicated to the pre-school with areas set up for water play, construction, dressing up and role play, reading, messy play and art. We have a wonderful, newly refurbished playground and large wooden climbing frame. We are also fortunate to be able to use the large field outside the church building which we use for games and adventure! We also have an all-weather outdoor area with bikes and scooters, a slide, and mud kitchen, as well as opportunities for the children to write, count and create outside as well as inside.
Our visiting teachers offer both Playball and ballet. The children also enjoy exploring locally and are taken on trips within the village, for example, to the library, the shops or the woods.
We are passionate about children being able to play outside. We have a wonderful playground and climbing frame and are very fortunate to also have access to a large field onsite which we make regular use of for games and adventures!
