Nursery & Pre-Reception

The Claremont Journey: Education First. Flexibility Always.
Schooling That Starts at Two. Flexibility That Lasts All Year.

Welcome to a new kind of nursery experience – where exceptional early education meets the reliability modern families need.

At Claremont, we’ve reimagined early years provision to offer more than childcare. We provide the first step of your child’s school journey, guided by experienced practitioners and teachers and supported by flexible, year-round care.

Nursery

Our Practitioner-Led Early Nursery room is thoughtfully designed for children aged 2–3, providing a gentle and inspiring introduction to their educational journey.

Led by experienced early years practitioners, each day balances structured learning with play, helping children feel confident, curious, and secure.

  • Skilled practitioners guiding daily activities and development

  • A play-based curriculum that builds independence and confidence

  • A strong foundation that prepares children naturally for their next stage into Pre-Reception and beyond

Pre-Reception

Our teacher-led Pre-Reception room is designed for children aged 3–4, building strong foundations for a confident and successful transition into school.

Led by a qualified teacher and TA, the programme places a strong emphasis on outdoor learning and early literacy and maths, ensuring children develop key skills in an engaging and meaningful way.

  • A rich outdoor learning environment, including regular Forest School experiences, fostering curiosity, resilience, and a love of nature

  • Introduction to a structured phonics programme used across Pre-Prep, supporting early reading and writing skills

  • Opportunities to explore, investigate, and learn through purposeful play, both indoors and outdoors

  • A nurturing approach that builds confidence, independence, and readiness for Reception and beyond
