Heathcote Preparatory School & Nursery

his development, from outdoors learning and exercise to school assemblies. I particularly like how he's mixed with the years above occasionally. It's clear there's a strong balance between his development as well as academia, but it has to be said, his writing and recognition of letters and numbers has come on almost unrecognisably since he started there. There really is a strong sense of community and belonging at Heathcote and we look forward to all our future years and experiences there.

Nursery, hopefully my third will be joining soon.

daughter and myself. When the staff noticed my child was an early reader, they gently encouraged her new skill and have nurtured her love for learning. We are very much looking forward to watching our child develop in her academic and creative skills at this wonderful school. We feel privileged to have out place within Heathcote Preparatory School & Nursery.

or her grandparents so was very clingy but settled in so quickly which took us all by surprise.

Being in the nursery and part of the wider Heathcote family meant her transition to the main school Reception was smooth and exciting for her (and a relief for me) because she was already so comfortable with the staff, routines and learning environment. She is just so happy there. Our son turns two in April and he can't wait to get started. All the staff know him and he already just feels part of the school.
Ultimately we have two very happy children who are getting the best education and who have made the best friends.
