Welcome to our Nursery!

Prince’s Mead Nursery offers a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment for children aged 3 to 4 moving into Reception the following year. Our nursery moved into our Coach House, a completely renovated house in the grounds of the school close to our school community and offering a safe and stimulating home from home.

Prince’s Mead Nursery offers:

• A warm, nurturing and fun start to your child’s education.
• Learning through play overseen by highly experienced staff.
• Flexible hours for families from 8.00am to 6.00pm  Monday to Friday.
• Healthy, balanced food made on-site by our professional Chef.
• A stimulating and fresh new setting in our Coach House.
• Extensive grounds on our doorstep including Forest School, playgrounds, sports hall, playing fields, tennis courts, dining hall and 10 acres of secure countryside.
• Individual attention in a calm, focused environment building towards a seamless move to Reception.

Nursery Sessions

* Nursery: You are entitled to use up to 3 hours of Early Years Education funding for the afternoon session Monday to Friday, providing the morning session has been booked. 

Early Years Funding

Parents can use up to 3 hours of Early Years funding per afternoon, based on a full day booking. Children are welcome to join Prince’s Mead from 3 years old and the Early Years funding applies from the term after a child turns three.

Transition into Reception

Children who wish to make the transition into Reception are required to attend a minimum of 2 full days in the Michaelmas term extending to 3 full days in the Lent and Summer terms. We suggest an additional fourth day in the summer term to prepare pupils for attending school full time in September.

Tax-Free Childcare

We accept all forms of tax-free childcare vouchers.
