Designed for children aged 2-4, our warm and inclusive environment is where imaginations bloom, friendships flourish and little learners thrive.
We know every child is unique and we celebrate their individuality by tailoring activities and experiences to their interests, needs and developmental stages. From imaginative play and creative arts, to early literacy and outdoor adventures, our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity, build confidence and encourage a lifelong love of learning.
We prioritise emotional and social development, helping children develop the skills they need to connect with others, express themselves and navigate the world with confidence. Our caring and qualified team of staff is dedicated to fostering a sense of belonging and providing support every step of the way, ensuring each child feels happy and secure.
Our facilities are bright, cheerful and thoughtfully equipped to provide endless opportunities for exploration. We have a wonderful, dedicated garden with endless views over the South Downs, which lends itself to hours of hours of fun and outdoor learning. The Nursery has all the advantages of feeling like its own entity, whilst having the advantages of being part of a larger school. The Nursery children have specialist teaching in Music, French and PE which are all taught by specialist teachers from the main school as part of the Nursery curriculum, as well as enjoying Forest School in our 8 acres of beautiful woods, lunch in the school dining hall and all the resources you would naturally expect in a thriving prep school.
We understand the importance of working in partnership with families. At St Ives Nursery, we build extremely strong relationships with parents and carers, so it soon feels like a home-from-home. Together, we’ll create cherished memories and help your little one blossom in our care. We can’t wait to show you around!
