Pre-School or Nursery?

Children can join St Saviour’s Pre-School as soon as they turn 2, giving them the opportunity to begin their early learning journey in a warm and nurturing environment.

We also have a dedicated Nursery group for 3- to 5-year-olds, where children take part in carefully planned adult-led activities tailored to their interests and developmental needs. These older children then join the younger ones for free play, encouraging friendships across age groups and creating a rich, inclusive learning environment.

This gentle integration supports emotional development, promotes social confidence, and leads to some truly special relationships and play experiences.
