Croydon High Nursery School

Croydon High Nursery is a private nursery school in Croydon, set in our beautiful leafy site in Selsdon, East Surrey. Our girls never cease to surprise and delight us with their enthusiasm and individuality. We strive to support the girls to become the best version of themselves. There is no ideal they need to model themselves on, no set formula for their interests and passions; they need only approach learning opportunities with curiosity and commitment.

What makes our Nursery School special?

Our Nursery School is for girls aged 3-4 (the academic year before they start Reception). In everything that we offer at our nursery school, we have your daughter’s future in mind. Attributes such as confidence and resilience together with skills in presentation and reasoning will be as important for her success as academic qualifications and are therefore given equal importance within the Junior School. 

Visitors to our school often comment on how relaxed and happy the girls are in our nursery. Happy girls who are comfortable to talk to their teachers about their work, ideas and concerns are best placed to learn. Come and visit us to meet our impressive girls.

What to expect

We have a large, neutral stimulating learning environment for our girls in the Early Years. This supports the teaching of carefully planned learning experiences which range from writing to a story character to designing the future skyscrapers of the world. 

Our safe and welcoming learning environment and knowledgeable and nurturing staff provide a place for girls to grow and flourish, develop their confidence, take risks in their learning and aspire without limits. 

Outdoor play is actively encouraged during the girls’ school day so they can stay fit and healthy, and develop their skills by interacting with the world and other children, including regular sessions in our purpose-built Forest School.

In our independent  nursery school, we cover the seven areas of learning, with dedicated zones for each in the classroom:

• Communication and Language
• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Expressive Arts and Design
• Personal Social and Emotional
• Physical Development
• Understanding of the World

We focus on supporting and developing every girl as an individual, which is why we have small group and individual work tailored to the current level of each student.
