At Pavilion Preschool, we offer education and care for children agged 2 - 4 years old who are preparing to attend any school.

Pavilion Preschool has been part of Aughton for over forty years, being based at Aughton Village Hall in the early days and in the grounds of Aughton St Michael's Primary School since 1998.

We have always been a non-profit provider and remain the same since we became a registered charity in September 2010 with three trustees.  In January 2016 and February 2020 we received an Outstanding report from Ofsted and we are currently working towards the Lancashire Quality Award to continue developing our provision. Our most recent inspection was in January 2026, you can read our report here. https://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/provider/16/EY428675

We are very proud of our excellent facilities both indoors and outdoors and use our outdoor environment in all weathers - activities include gardening and growing fruit and vegetables to cook and eat. 

We are lucky to have access to the grassy, wooded area adjacent to the nursery. Children are encouraged to develop independence skills, improve their decision making and raise their self-esteem. Within a safe secure environment, the children can experience a sense of freedom whilst exploring and using natural materials and wildlife found in the "woods".
