Caterpillars Marks Tey is a long established Pre-School running from St Andrews Church Hall for 20 years. From September 2024, Caterpillars Marks Tey will be moving to our exciting new setting based in a building in the grounds of St Andrews School, Mandeville Road, Marks Tey CO6 1HL. Please view our gallery below to see some pictures of our fabulous new setting.
This move means Caterpillars Marks Tey will no longer be a pack away preschool giving us opportunities to improve our resources and enable play to flow and develop from day to day.
Children and parents can continue to expect a caring friendly welcome, with high quality, experienced staff who have a range of skills to help your child learn their own identities through meaningful play.
Our new setting provides us with 2 rooms but both of these will be mixed age groups. The children will be able to play freely between the rooms during the day if they choose, as both will be set up with the resources to support children of all age ranges.

Each of our children is on a learning journey and staff are sensitive to each individual child's needs and support them in every way. All children are treated as individuals regardless of which room they are learning in and we make sure the same standards of education are offered to all.
Children aged 2.5 & over can attend the morning sessions - 9:00am – 12:30pm
Children aged 3 & over can attend for the full day (9am-2:45pm).
