Welcome to Nursery

Sunday Times Schools Guide 2025 - Independent Secondary School of the Year North West

The Small Setting with a Big Heart

Nursery is where our youngest children, from two years, begin their journey of discovery and build the foundations for a lifelong adventure of learning. Our Nursery is a warm and welcoming environment where our littlest learners thrive under the care of our inspiring practitioners who nurture the children and work hard to capture their imaginations through imaginative games and play.

We know the first few years in a young child’s life are a truly remarkable time and can make an enormous difference to their growth and development. With this is mind, we provide a caring and dynamic environment which affords children the very best start before they are ready to move onto our Pre Prep setting at 3 years old.

Wellbeing and Lifelong Learning

We provide enabling environments that stimulate, excite and intrigue the children’s curiosity. All these experiences help to shape their individual development and build the foundations for future success, wellbeing and lifelong learning.

Situated within the beautiful grounds of Birkenhead School, we have easy access to wider school facilities. Frequent walks and activities around the School grounds enrich our children’s experiences and support a smooth transition as they progress through the School.

Our nursery setting features two dedicated areas tailored to different age groups: the Toddler Room, designed for our youngest children aged two to three, and the Rising 3s, for children aged three until they transition into our Pre-Prep program.

Pre-Prep

When the time comes, the transition to Pre-Prep feels like a natural next step. Through play visits, familiar activities, and gentle encouragement, children are supported every step of the way—helping them feel happy, confident, and excited for their next adventure.

We warmly invite you to visit our Pre-Prep to experience first-hand the nurturing environment and unique spirit that make it such a special place for young learners. We look forward to welcoming you and your family soon.
