We are so pleased with our experience at Little Shells at St James. Our daughter loves going each day and it's been wonderful for her to feel connected to the wider St James school community by regularly seeing her older siblings. The children have fantastic opportunities to take part in school performances and assemblies, which really helps them feel included and confident. The outdoor space is excellent, and the varied daily schedule keeps every day exciting and fun. It's a truly special place that provides a fantastic start to their school journey.

I would highly recommend the nursery. English is not my little one's mother tongue and he's of a shy personality. The staff are extremely caring, patient and attentive. They shower him with love and give him safe space to grow. Within a few weeks' time, there is a huge development in my little one. He started from crying every morning to looking after going to the nursery. He makes good friends and enjoys the activities, particularly the garden visits. Many thanks to the staff again, and I'd highly recommend the nursery to anyone considering!

The nursery at St James' is a really special place. It encompasses facilities and activities (forest school, chef-led cooking lessons, drama, music, library, sport, mindfulness, Sanskrit) you would expect from a pre prep nursery with a warm and nurturing environment that feels like family. The teachers are hugely intuitive and give the children the space and encouragement to become compliant students while retaining and nurturing their respective characters. This was essential to me - to find a place that enabled children to become familiar with school routine without 'breaking their spirit.' I cannot express how grateful we are to St James and the other gorgeous families for such a wonderful year in nursery and the transition to school. Forever grateful and only wish we had found St James' sooner!
