Facilities
Nutkins (2+)
Nutkins is a fun and informal activity group for you and your little one, before they start at The Squirrels the following September. They understand that for some children, the transition to nursery full-time can be a little daunting. Nutkins helps provide an introduction to the world of learning for both you and your little one, encouraging a positive attitude to school life right from the start. They hold these fun and supportive sessions in the Nursery most Thursday mornings from 9:15am and they last about an hour. A specialist team of staff, many of whom also work in the Nursery, provide a range of activities for parents and children to enjoy.
The Squirrels (3+)
For many children, life at Warwick Prep begins in our purpose-built Nursery. At Warwick Prep, they make big feel small. They have three Nursery classes and four classes in each Pre-Prep year, which are kept to a maximum of 20 children each. This is so they can get to know each child and support all their individual needs.The Squirrels offers a rich, stimulating and secure learning environment, both indoors and outdoors, which encourages children’s natural curiosity and enthusiasm. Our vision is for each child to be the best that they can be, to become happy, confident learners, keen to explore and try out new things.
Reception (4+)
The Squirrels provides your child with the best possible introduction to the exciting world of learning. The close links with the Reception team at Warwick Prep and regular transition visits mean that your child is well-prepared for their move into ‘big school’.The four Reception classes are made up of The Squirrels children continuing their journey at Warwick Prep and a small number of new children, each with a fully qualified teacher and specialist teaching assistant. The small class sizes of around 20 pupils allows us to closely support each child with their learning, encouraging them to progress at their own pace and support them as they embark on their journey through the Foundation.
