Early Years Foundation Stage

We know that, when it comes to choosing private nursery care parents have the very highest expectations. The main reason parents choose to send their children to our nursery is because of the care and attention we give to each child, making sure they are happy, settled and comfortable in their spacious, well-equipped surroundings. The extensive outdoor spaces of the school are also a great attraction.

Even our youngest children quickly forget their parents aren’t there and happily concentrate on the hard work of having fun and exploring the world around them!

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) welcomes both boys and girls from the age of 6 months to 4 years old to an incredibly nurturing environment, supported by extremely generous staff to pupil ratios. Each child receives individual attention from our highly qualified teachers and key people, along with a full-time member of staff responsible for the childrens’ health, safety and welfare.

The department is widely recognised as being a leading light in the field of early years education, was last inspected in May 2018. The inspection report can be seen here.

At the end of Pre-School, the majority of our girls transfer to local independent schools and we have established a strong link with Edgbaston High School for Girls, sharing a shuttle service between the two schools and co-hosting various curriculum-related activities during the year.
