Welcome To Rising Fives!

Rising Fives is a registered charity which offers pre-schooling for children from 2 years 9 months until they go to school. Set up in 1972, we have a staff of nine and are attended by around 60 children from Whitchurch and the surrounding areas.

Rising Fives Pre-SchoolThe pre-school is OFSTED inspected. We were last inspected on 19th January 2007. We also work closely with Whitchurch Church of England Primary School.

Rising Fives runs morning sessions from 9:15am - 11:45am and afternoon sessions from 12:45pm - 3:15pm every weekday. Currently there is no session on a Wednesday afternoon. Each child will start with two afternoon sessions per week, progressing to more sessions and mornings, subject to his or her needs. Children are expected to attend at least two sessions a week and our aim is to give each child a minimum of three sessions a week by the term before they start school.

Friday afternoons include a specialised music and movement session. This is available to both morning and afternoon children and is Ofsted inspected. There is an opportunity for older children to attend from 12:30pm and bring their own packed lunch to eat at the beginning of this session.
