At Pitsford, we welcome children to begin their journey with us from the age of three.
We are committed to giving children the very best start in life. Our highly trained and experienced staff are dedicated to nurturing a lifelong love of learning from the very beginning.
Life is an adventure, and we believe that unlocking a child’s full potential means offering them endless opportunities and experiences in a safe, nurturing and exciting environment.
In our Nursery and pre-school, we follow the unique Pitsford approach, combining the best of formal education and play based learning. We follow each child’s interests while also supporting their next developmental steps, building knowledge around overarching themes.
We run short engaging “lessons” that included educational games and singing followed by quick activities designed to consolidate learning and address misconceptions.
We are proud to offer a wide range of enriching experiences including:
Weekly swimming lessons
Cooking sessions
Twice-weekly Forest School sessions
Art lessons focused on skill-building
School Library visits
PE lessons
Weekly music and dance sessions taught by specialist professionals.
With access to 30 acres of beautiful grounds, we pride ourselves on having limited tarmac – allowing children to enjoy nature as it was intended.
Nursery pupils benefit from easy access to our Woodland area for Forest School, the Secret Garden (our EYFS outdoor space),and a covered outdoor classroom just outside the EYFS classrooms.
We also offer regular trips to exciting destinations such as the Butterfly Farm and the Derngate Theatre, and we welcome special visitors including opera singers and brass bands.
We warmly invite you to visit our wonderful setting and see where you child’s journey could begin.
