| Being part of the whole school allows our children to benefit from the extensive facilities and resources at our fingertips. We feel strongly that the early years in a child’s education are the most important to enable a child to develop a deep lifelong love of learning and prepare them for their school journey ahead. We therefore deliver an exciting, innovative, well-planned, rewarding Early Years Curriculum, which meets the needs of each and every child at their own pace. Most importantly we strive for children to play and learn in a family environment, where all experiences are enjoyable, engaging and exciting. |

Our Blundell's Family
The joy of learning and the excitement of early childhood exploration are celebrated in a warm, caring, family atmosphere. We place great emphasis on every child feeling happy, confident, and eager to come to school each day, working in close partnership with parents. Our experienced, caring Nursery staff warmly welcome children and families every morning. Each day is carefully structured to combine high-quality teaching with purposeful play, including timetabled phonics activities and early maths to build strong foundations in language and number. Children also enjoy assemblies and productions, specialist teaching in French, Wild Wonders, Sport, Music and Ballet, and trips to local places of interest. Social skills are nurtured through ‘family-style’ lunches, where children enjoy freshly cooked meals, learn good table manners and chat with friends. We take great pride in welcoming our youngest learners into our school family from the moment they step through the door.

Drop Off & Collection Times Children may be dropped off between 8am and 8.30am and collected at either 1pm or between 3.30pm and 4pm. Funded Sessions We support the Universal Early Years Entitlement Scheme and offer eligible children up to 15 hours of funded sessions at Blundell’s Nursery. For further detail on the scheme, please refer to guidance here: https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/15-and-30-hours-childcare-support/universal-offer/how-it-works Parents wishing to use the Universal Early Years Entitlement may do so by their child attending a combination of 5 hour and 7.5 hour sessions, as outlined above. For example: a parent may choose to use their full entitlement over two full days or 3 mornings. Parents may wish to use only part of their entitlement and use the rest at another provider. Additional sessions, beyond the 15 hours of funded sessions, must be paid for at the standard rate. Please liaise with the Prep School Office if you wish to use this entitlement. |
