Our Foundation
Church Square Preschool Ltd has a rich history rooted in a deep passion for childcare. Charlene, the owner, has dedicated her career to this field, starting her journey immediately after leaving school. She began working in a nursery, gaining her first childcare qualifications. At 17, Charlene transitioned to becoming a Nanny, ultimately inspiring her to open her childminding setting. Initially, this venture started in a small house with Charlene and her mother as her assistant.
​
In 2010, due to increasing demand, Charlene expanded her operation into a larger house, allowing her to accommodate more staff and children. This larger setting has been running successfully and continues to provide high-quality childcare services. Over the years, Charlene noticed a gap in term-time-only preschool services, as some children had to leave the setting because their families required only term-time sessions and hours. In response to this need, Church Square Preschool Ltd was established in Church Square, Shepperton, focusing on providing ‘Term Time Only Day Care’ for preschool-aged children.
​
However, if you require childcare for children aged 0-8 years and need an all-year-round setting or might do so in the future, please check out our comprehensive childcare offerings on our Care Bear Chilldcare website.
