Welcome to Spring Grove Nursery. We know that the choice of a Nursery for your child, or children, is a very personal one, and we hope that the videos and information below will help you to get a feel for what makes our Nursery such a happy, friendly place.

Our Nursery is on the same site as the Prep school, and while it is a safe and separate space, we definitely feel that the children benefit from sharing staff and facilities with the older pupils in the school. Each year group has its own set of classrooms and dedicated outdoor space, with canopies to allow outdoor play even on wet days. Children in the Teddies (2-3 years) and Giraffes (3-4 years) classes also share a large walled garden with a sandpit, digging area, mud kitchen, vegetable garden and music area.

As they progress through the Teddies and Giraffes classes, our Nursery children are encouraged to take risks within a safe and secure environment, setting them up for the next step in their education as they move from Nursery into the Reception class and on to Key Stage 1. Children develop confidence in themselves and confidence in their ability to learn and achieve.

We think that Spring Grove Nursery gives children the very best start in life - it is ‘a great place to grow’ - but don’t just take our word for it! Here are some reviews from parents:

“My daughter is extremely happy at Teddies. Since joining, her language and communication skills, outgoing attitude and eagerness to learn has come on leaps and bounds. She completes a range of activities and is always keen to tell me what she has learnt. Teachers are very supportive and are able to answer any questions I have. They give advice on how best to teach at home and include me in learning. Excellent school.”

“Spring Grove Nursery is an exceptional nursery, the overall feel is a loving, safe, inspiring environment. The staff are amazing and really go above and beyond to ensure all children are cared for as individuals…”

“The Nursery prepares the children not only for Reception but for everyday life. The level of education that the children receive is head and shoulders above the nurseries in the local area but not sacrificing play or imagination. French, PE and even shows of confidence such as eye-contact and greetings push this nursery above those around it.”

“The staff are always so welcoming and helpful and are on hand to answer any questions in person or on email. I feel that they have a genuine affection for my daughter, and this is shown in their interactions with her and in the way she speaks about them. My daughter loves the play activities, and in particular loves the garden which is large, beautiful, and full of activities.”

On the basis of our consistently positive parent reviews, for the third year running Spring Grove has been recognised as one of the Top 20 Nurseries in the South East of England by the DayNurseries website.
