Nursery

A warm and nurturing start

Welcome to our Bishopsgate Nursery, a warm and nurturing space for children aged 3 to 4, as they take their first steps towards Reception the following year.

A nurturing environment

In our Nursery, we understand the significance of the early years in shaping a child’s future. That is why we offer a loving and caring environment; ensuring your child feels valued and supported as they embark on their learning journey. Our highly experienced staff oversee learning through play, allowing each child to explore and grow at their own pace.

Endless learning opportunities

We believe in limitless learning opportunities in our Nursery. With a focus on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, we provide a positive and enriched start to education. Our skilled practitioners follow the children’s interests, encouraging curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. Through individual attention and a calm, focused atmosphere, we prepare each child for a seamless transition into our Lower School.

A rich and stimulating setting

Our Bishopsgate Nursery is housed in the Windsor Building, a purpose-built environment designed specifically for our youngest pupils, and surrounded by an array of exciting facilities. From our Forest School to our beautiful 25m swimming pool, dedicated play areas to our new sports hall, and 30-acres of Crown Estate land next to Windsor Great Park, our children have a world of exploration at their fingertips.

Tailored learning experiences

We understand that every child is special, and that is why our Nursery offers a wide range of open-ended play resources and specialist teaching sessions. From Forest School, Music, French, Physical Education with our full complement of Games staff, phonics, literacy, to weekly swimming tuition, we nurture each child’s unique talents and interests, helping them discover their passions early on.

Flexible hours to suit your family

We know that family life can be busy, which is why we offer flexible hours from 8.00am to 5.45pm, Monday to Friday. You can be rest assured that your child will be well taken care of throughout the day, with healthy and balanced meals prepared on-site by our dedicated catering team that specialise in the independent sector.

To ensure consistent engagement and academic progress, we encourage pupils to attend a minimum of five sessions per week. Whether it is a morning session, extending from 8.40am to 12 noon, or a full-day session, including lunch and snacks, from 8.40am to 3.30pm, each moment counts in shaping your child’s future.

Creating lasting bonds

At Bishopsgate, we value strong relationships with parents. We believe that working together as a team is essential in supporting each child’s development and growth. We encourage regular communication and involvement in this most magical start to your child’s education.
