Information about the school

Fordcombe Preschool Limited is a not-for-profit company set up and run by 3 dedicated local people to provide a preschool for local children aged 2 and above. Fordcombe lies between Langton Green and Penshurst on the B2188. The Preschool runs in the smaller of the two halls Monday-Friday 8am-6pm 51 weeks a year. It is packed away on Friday so that the hall can be hired out at the weekend. The setting is situated in the heart of the Kent countryside and is surrounded by fields providing fantastic opportunities for outdoor fun. There is a small enclosed garden attached to the hall and a play park a short walk across the cricket pitch. The local school is just across the road and we have a good working relationship with the staff there. The large hall can also be used for activities when it is available.
