MIGHTY OAKS
We offer wrap around care for children attending Acorn Pre-School, Shefford Lower School and Robert Bloomfield Middle School.

Our premises allow us to run a morning, and after school club for children who attend the Pre-school, Shefford Lower School and Bloomfield Middle School. The morning (8.00am – 9.05am) and afternoon club (3.15pm – 5.00pm or 3.15pm – 6.00pm) is open to children aged 2 years to 14 years and runs Monday to Friday.

Acorn Pre-School has a long history, we were established in 1971 and was held in the Baptist Church Hall in Bedford Road and then later in the Methodist Church Hall, Ampthill Road. In January 2006 the pre-school committee were approached to build a new school which would enable us to improve our facilities as well as provide wrap around care to fit in with new government plans. Our new premises officially opened on 26th April 2008. This is a purpose built, purpose designed building for our pre-school which has enabled us to offer an even better pre-school to Shefford and the surrounding villages.
