Setting

Riverside Pre-school CIO operates in Bitterne Park and is managed by a voluntary parent's Management Committee. 

We are open to children from 2 years until they start school (subject to availability). We operate our waiting lists according to age. 

We pride ourselves on creating a learning environment that is enjoyable, varied and take place both indoors and outdoors. We have developed relationships with external organisations in order that the children have access to a wide range of experience. We are particularly proud of developing a relationship with local care home Speedwell Court in West End, Southampton. The older children from Bitterne Park will make regular weekly trips to the care home to interact with the elderly residents. The practice of intergenerational care has proven benefits for both the elderly and young leading to decreasing isolation and improved wellbeing for everyone involved. https://www.ageukmobility.co.uk/mobility-news/article/intergenerational-care
