Visit Chandlings Prep
At Chandlings, Nursery is where confident beginnings are made. Children aged 2 to 4 are welcomed into a calm, caring and stimulating environment, with dedicated staff who understand how little ones thrive through play, discovery and gentle encouragement.
We appreciate that feeling a sense of belonging is crucial for young learners to explore, take risks, and grow. In our nurturing, child-led atmosphere, curiosity takes root, setting the stage for a lifelong love of learning.
Children build water confidence through fun, supportive lessons each week, which are included as a part of our Nursery provision. Sessions begin at 3 and 4 years of age.
Little ones take PE and Games lessons each week with specialist teachers on our Astro, playing fields or in our Main Hall. Coordination and body awareness are fostered through playful activities.
Our cosy and whimsical library is a favourite haven amongst our children. Storytelling and book selection helps them foster a love of reading, builds imagination and contributes to language development.
With extensive grounds and woodlands, even our Nursery children benefit from weekly Outdoor Learning lessons. Come rain or shine our little explorers can be found examining flora, spotting wildlife and deepening their appreciation for the environment.
We are fortunate to have our Prep School teachers visit the Nursery several times a month to encourage children to explore additional languages, such as French. It’s a valuable and rare opportunity for many.
When they head up our Entrance staircase to the Auditorium for lessons with our Head of Drama, little ones are encouraged to express themselves freely and build confidence. They also have an opportunity to explore instruments and their musicality.
Our established Term-Time Nursery offers a trusted and highly-regarded Early Years foundation that sits beautifully within the rhythm of the school year at Chandlings. It is an ideal option for families seeking a school-led nursery journey during term-time and is often the choice for little ones with siblings in our Prep School.
Our All-Year-Round Nursery offers families a flexible extension of the Chandlings Early Years experience across 50 weeks of the year. Children continue to benefit from our warm staff, beautiful grounds and facilities, and catering, all within a nurturing and engaging environment designed to support their development throughout the year.
