OUR NURSERY SCHOOL
The Perfect Start
The Nursery School at Brighton College Prep Kensington is where children start their educational journey at two years old. Our Nursery School classes of Pre-Nursery (2+) and Nursery (3+) provide the perfect start for a journey of learning and discovery.
Learning is brought to life through creative experiences that inspire lasting memories. From performances on the stage, to themed dress-up days, we foster an environment rich in imagination.
Both the Early Years garden and the two-acre Secret Garden are the perfect locations to encourage imaginative play, whilst enabling children to put on their wellington boots and jump in puddles.
The free flow nature of our classrooms have been carefully designed to extend learning within the classroom to the outdoors.
"Brighton College: One word: Exceptional."
