Set within the stunning grounds of our historic school site, our Nursery offers a spacious, stimulating environment for children from the age of two. Rooted in nature and discovery, the setting is carefully designed to ignite curiosity, build confidence, and foster a lifelong love of learning.

Firmly embedded within the wider school community, our Nursery children are active participants in school life from the very beginning. Whether taking part in the Summer Concert, joining assemblies, or cheering on older pupils during Sports Day with the Prep School, they benefit from a sense of inclusion, belonging, and celebration. These shared experiences help to develop confidence, communication skills, and a deep-rooted connection to the wider school community.

Our youngest pupils enjoy access to a full range of outstanding facilities, including the Refectory, where there is the option of a freshly prepared, nutritious, home-cooked meal each day. Dining alongside the Prep School in a warm, family-style atmosphere nurtures social development and reinforces important routines around healthy eating and manners.

Led by highly skilled and nurturing Early Years staff, our Nursery curriculum is thoughtfully designed to support the individual development of every child. Carefully planned activities—blending adult-led and child-initiated learning—promote the acquisition of key skills across all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Daily, systematic phonics and mathematics sessions are delivered in small groups, ensuring children are well-prepared for the next stage in their education.

Weekly specialist-taught lessons in Music and PE bring additional depth and excitement to the children’s learning, encouraging creativity, rhythm, physical confidence, and coordination. These sessions are complemented by our vibrant Forest School provision, which provides rich outdoor learning experiences in all weathers. Dressed in waterproofs and wellington boots, our pupils make the most of our extensive grounds, developing independence, environmental awareness, and emotional resilience through hands-on exploration.

Creativity and discovery are at the heart of our Nursery, where children are encouraged to wonder, experiment, and grow. Above all, we believe passionately that every child deserves to feel happy, safe, confident and valued. With care, commitment and imagination, we consistently exceed expectations—thinking differently to bring out the very best in every child.
