NEW Little Learners preschools have opened at the Huntspill Academies near Highbridge.
The Little Learners preschools will provide teaching and learning experiences for children aged two, three and four years old at East Huntspill Primary Academy and West Huntspill Primary Academy.
The introduction of the preschools is the latest improvement to the schools since they joined The Priory Learning Trust (TPLT) last year.
Little Learners already run stimulating, safe, and happy environments for learning at TPLT schools in Weston-super-Mare.
Amy Marsh, strategic lead for early years at TPLT, said: "Everyone is so excited to get our preschool provision going at both the schools.
"We have a brand-new classroom in place for Little Learners at West Huntspill and a superb curriculum with lots of fun learning activities.
"Little Learners at East Huntspill now offer places at the school Breakfast Club, allowing parents to drop off at 8am, which has benefitted families already."
Principal Steve Davis said: "This is more good news yet again for both our schools.
"We have a tremendous countryside feel and are an active part of the community.
"This is an excellent provision for our community."
Last summer, both academies saw the restoration of their school bells, which rang for the first time again in September.
The restoration project saw 30 hours of hand polishing on the East Bell, not used for 10 years, and a new West Bell, which was last used 20 years ago.
