Nursery & Pre-School
From September 2026, we will be expanding our Nursery and Pre-School provision at all our Schools to include a dual offer to suit our busy families.
In addition, children will be welcome to start with us from the day they turn 2, rather than the term in which they turn 3.
| Offer 1 | Term time only with a minimum of 3 days per week |
|---|
| Offer 2 | 50 weeks of the year with a minimum of 3 days per week |
|---|
This new and enhanced offer will provide reliable, year-round childcare within the well-established school education setting with our well-qualified staff and subject specialists.
The Nursery and Pre-School nurtures the children’s desire to learn, experiment, play and gain independence. Our curriculum is designed to develop each child’s emotional, social, physical and creative skills. We encourage children to learn freely in a structured and stimulating environment. They are taught to listen to others and express their own ideas, and we place high emphasis on kindness, helpfulness, sharing, courtesy and respect for others.
The Early Years team builds your child’s love of learning through play, talk, exploration, and clear routines. We help children grow in confidence and independence, and we teach them to listen, share ideas, and show kindness and respect. Our outdoor spaces give children daily chances to move, explore, and play on all weather surfaces, playgrounds, and our adventure area.
