Fairfield's pre-school, known as Kindergarten, provides a caring, welcoming and happy environment for your child to take their first steps in school life. The friendly team of fully-qualified staff ensure that every child is known as the individual that they are and take the time to get to know their interests and strengths.
Situated within its own safe and secure environment, the pre-school setting benefits from multiple purpose-built outdoor spaces, an immersive sensory room and an exciting Forest School. Children enjoy a range of lessons in subjects such as Yoga, Music, Singing, PE and Modern Foreign Languages and interact with subject specialist staff on a regular basis.
The Kindergarten encourages children to learn about the world around them and begin to build relationships with peers and staff members. Through exploration and play, children begin to develop their own identity and staff take pride in playing a part in their development. Each child is assigned a 'Key Person' (class teacher) who ensures that the Kindergarten collaborates closely with parents to enable a smooth transition into school life.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Every family can claim 15 universal funded hours a week for 3 to 4 year olds, and working parents can usually claim up to 30 funded hours. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery applies funded hours during term time only. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 7 funded hours per day, used only during term time. With your selected funding, 21 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Both of my children thoroughly enjoyed kindergarten at Fairfield Prep School. It is an amazing setting with brilliant teachers and just a lovely environment for them to start their educational journey in. I think it works really well that it is its own separate space yet they still get to access the school and get them used to being around older children, with visits to the library, use of the PE hall, visits to Forest School, etc. There is also a bit of structure to their day which I think helps them prepare for school, but with so many fun activities they are exposed to. The class sizes are small which is also lovely. The facilities are brilliant with a covered and uncovered outside area, a sensory room, their own dining hall. I couldn't recommend it enough.
Thank you so much for this kind review. Here in Kindergarten, we aim to prepare children for taking their first steps into the world of education. By blending play with tailored activities, we're proud to have created an environment that encourages children to thrive. We're delighted to hear that you've had such a positive experience.

This is a very good school particularly if you want your kid to enjoy creative learning. They have a very structured learning schedule but it is fun as well. Weekly newsletters come out every Friday so you know exactly which they are teaching. From Phonics to Spanish, Sign Language to Shapes. There is just so much for them to do!
Weekly forest school is a highlight for my daughter as she likes making a mess. She is now 'practicing' her nativity song at home and said she has to get it right because she needs to perform on stage. BIG responsibility for a 3 year old but she's loving it!
9 years ago I asked my son what did he learn in school. He thought long and hard and said he doesn't know. But he went home, read his little story books, sang his songs and told me what happened in forest school. That's what a good school do!
Many thanks for your kind review - it's fantastic to hear that your daughter has settled in well to our Kindergarten. Our Forest School sessions are a wonderful opportunity for children to explore nature and connect with the natural world around them, so we're delighted to hear that this is a highlight for her.
Wonderful setting and amazing teachers. So much care goes into their learning and help him them settle. This is a perfect setting to prepare children for Reception and my little girl has thrived since she started. They do so many additional activities like ballet, forest school, music and languages...
Wonderful setting and amazing teachers. So much care goes into their learning and help him them settle. This is a perfect setting to prepare children for Reception and my little girl has thrived since she started. They do so many additional activities like ballet, forest school, music and languages with specialist teachers. Couldn't recommend it more!

Through thoughtful activities and opportunities, we aim to blend creative play with structured learning to create a supportive and stimulating environment that prepares children for the next steps in their school journey.

The BEST standard of care to be found for young children. Learning through all kinds of different experiences, connection to the real world and in an environment that fosters independence in a safe way. The teachers are an extension of our family, the lessons are full of fun and varied (forest school, music, PE, yoga, ballet, languages), they have visits from older children at the school, animals, external visitors and school trips too. They read, they bake, they learn about kindness and giving back, they learn boundaries, respect and look out for one another ..and they play A LOT. This is the best start for any young person and we feel very fortunate that it was the start we were able to give to our little boy.
Thank you for your kind review. We're delighted to hear that your son has thoroughly enjoyed his time here. We strive to give every child the best start to their school journey and are incredibly pleased to hear of your positive experience.
