About this day nursery

Stockton House School, located in Fleet, caters to children from the age of two up to statutory school age, with plans to expand to include infants from 9 months old starting in Spring 2026. ' They offer nursery rooms (Butterfly & Caterpillar Class) and Kindergarten rooms (Daffodil & Poppy Class) for different age groups.

Prospective families are encouraged to book a school tour, which lasts approximately 30 minutes and includes outdoor areas, so appropriate attire is recommended. While they strive to offer places, demand is high, so early registration and payment of a fee are advised to secure a spot.

The school also provides comprehensive information on funding options, including schemes for two-year-olds and the universal 15-hour entitlement, as well as the 30-hour funding for working parents. Payment options include bank transfers and Tax-Free Childcare.

My boys both thrived at the pre-school and left completely school ready. The outside space is amazing and allows children to be children by having fun exploring, digging, building and playing games.

I would highly recommend Stockton House, a preschool I chose for both of my boys. The teachers are excellent and caring, and they provide a stimulating and nurturing environment for the children. They use a variety of methods to engage the children in learning, such as songs, stories, games, and crafts. They also encourage the children to express themselves and develop their social skills. The outdoor space is outstanding and one of the main reasons why I chose this preschool. The children have access to a large and well-equipped playground, where they can run, climb, slide, and swing. They also have a forest school for children in Kindergarten, where they can explore nature, build shelters, make fires, and learn about wildlife. The forest school sessions are led by qualified and experienced staff, who ensure the safety and well-being of the children. I would highly recommend Stockton to anyone looking for a high-quality and fun-filled education for their child. It is a place where children can grow, learn, and play in a safe and supportive setting and have lots of fun!!!

I can not rate this nursery and Pre School enough. I have had both my children attend here from when they were 2 till the time they attended infant school. The staff are amazing, professional and caring. The support they provided our family was immense over the year's. The staff turn over is very low which I think speaks volumes for the effectiveness of the management team, the staff attitudes to their work ethos and the working environment. The staff care and love the children so much, they are knowledgeable and they understand SEN too. You can tell they love their jobs. The children are happy and my 2 speak so fondly of the place and their teachers. They both still wish they were back there. The grounds are absolutely amazing and was one of the many reasons I chose this nursery/preschool for my children. Great place and I have many happy memories of Stockton House.

My daughter has loved her time at Stockton. The difference between the nursery she was at is vast, Stockton care so much, they really look after your children individually and educate them so well and also make sure they have loads of fun. My daughter‘s friends are also lovely and it’s really been the best decision I’ve made for her putting her into Stockton.
