About this day nursery

Teapots Nursery, part of Brooke House School, offers a nurturing environment where children are encouraged to learn and develop through play. The nursery aims to prepare children for school life and their transition into Reception, focusing on a broad range of developmental areas.

As they progress into Reception at four years old, the curriculum covers seven key areas of learning: Personal, Social & Emotional Development, Physical Development, Communication & Language, Mathematics, Literacy, Understanding the World, and Expressive Arts & Design. This comprehensive approach is designed to help children achieve their Early Learning Goals and equip them with essential skills and knowledge for a solid educational start.

The school accepts applications throughout the year, subject to availability, and offers a personal tour and meeting with the Principal to ensure it is the right fit for each child. While there isn't a formal entrance examination, the Principal reserves the right to decline admission if a child is deemed unlikely to benefit from or contribute to the school environment.

The admissions policy also states that parents/carers are responsible for paying school fees as outlined in their fee schedule.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

Outdoor space

When children play outdoors and they have dirty hands, staff provide younger children with hand-over-hand support to show them how to rub them together, while older children do this by themselves. Children learn how to keep themselves safe when they are near roads; staff talk about road safety during walks and play games outdoors to help them understand traffic lights.
