About this day nursery

Birkenhead School is a leading independent day school located in Oxton, Wirral, catering to children from 3 years old through to Sixth Form. The school fosters a warm and supportive community where pupils are encouraged to develop confidence, explore their passions, and cultivate a lifelong enthusiasm for learning.

Every child is recognised, valued, and celebrated for their individuality. The Early Years programme, known as Pre-Prep, welcomes children aged 3 to 4, with an expectation that they will continue their educational journey into Prep.

The school focuses on building strong relationships between pupils and teachers and offers a broad range of co-curricular activities and trips designed to enrich students' experiences and support their overall well-being, both physically and mentally. The school operates with core values including respect, responsibility, resilience, inclusivity, compassion, courage, humility, and integrity.

While the school offers a five-day provision for Pre-Prep, there is an option for a four-day attendance pattern for families who prefer it, though the fee remains consistent with the full five-day offer due to staffing and curriculum planning.

How they support every child

Outdoor space

All children share access to an enclosed outdoor play area. High priority is put upon the children following a healthy lifestyle and developing their physical skills. Children have daily opportunities to pursue outdoor activities. The outdoor area consists of a large covered area which offers shelter from different types of weather. Outside children confidently use the large climbing apparatus and show good spatial awareness as they manoeuvre the riding toys around obstacles. A wide range of resources, including books, writing materials, construction sets and role play equipment are available to children outside to further enhance and stimulate their learning experiences.
