Welcome to our new nursery
Our Nursery will be opening in September 2025 following increasing demand from existing parents and our local community. We will offer funded places to children from the age of 2 years old. Starting in our Nursery is the beginning of an exciting journey through Banstead Infant School!
From the moment your child joins us our Nursery team will invest all their time and energy in helping them settle in well, develop their interests, make friends, learn lots of new and exciting things and come out each day with a smile.
The foundations we build in Nursery are crucial to each child developing a love of learning and being ready to start in Reception.
We provide a safe and secure setting in which children have access to a vibrant and stimulating indoor and outdoor area. We encourage children to develop their skills and independence through play-based learning.
As a blended nursery, we recognise and respond to the different developmental stages of children aged 2 to 4 years. To support their individual growth, we organise the children into age-specific groups—those aged 2 to 3 are known as "Squirrels," and those aged 3 to 4 are called "Hedgehogs." This approach allows us to tailor our provision to meet their unique needs, ensuring each child is placed in an environment that nurtures their development and helps them thrive.
Squirrels (2 to 3 year olds)
We chose the name Squirrels because, like squirrels, we are always busy learning and exploring! We have active minds that love to play, learn, and think quickly. Just like squirrels are curious and adventurous, we are always excited to discover new things and solve problems together!
Hedgehogs (3 to 4 year olds)
We chose the name Hedgehogs because, like hedgehogs, we are careful, thoughtful, and always learning. We take our time to think deeply, explore new ideas, and work hard to solve problems. Just like hedgehogs are curious and love to explore their world, we love discovering new things and growing every day!
Please see our Fees, Funding and Sessions page for full details on funding available.
We encourage all new parents to come and visit our lovely Nursery and meet our staff team. See below for more information.
We look forward to welcoming you!
There are Nursery open mornings to show groups of parents around the school and Nursery, but if there isn’t one coming up, our school office team can still arrange a convenient date for you to pop in and see us.
