An outstanding educational pre-school nursery for 6 months - 4 years
At Rydes Hill Nursery School, we spark children’s natural curiosity through a secure, engaging, and enriching environment. With access to our dedicated specialist teachers, children enjoy Forest School adventures, music classes, computing, dance, and an exciting range of sporting opportunities.
We are delighted to announce that, from Summer 2026, we are extending our first-class nursery provision to include dedicated care for our youngest learners.
Introducing Our New Baby Rooms:
- Pips (6 months – 1 year)
- Seeds (1 – 2 years)
These new classes will further enhance our already well-established Acorns and Oaks classes. Acorns is for children who are still two years from starting school, while Oaks welcomes those who will begin school next September.
Uniquely, Rydes Hill offers the flexibility for your child to attend either term time only or all year round (48 weeks of the year), and we provide wraparound care from 7.30am to 6.00pm if required.
A strong focus is placed on developing communication and language skills, alongside fun and engaging activities that introduce early sounds and letters, ensuring that every child is reaching or exceeding their developmental milestones. We aim to inspire imaginations and nurture capable, curious learners, preparing each child for a positive and happy transition to the next stage of their school journey. Above all, we prioritise building self-confidence and independence without any sense of pressure or competition.
We warmly welcome families for personal tours of our nursery and are always happy to answer any questions you may have. If you would like an initial discussion with our Admissions team, please email RHAdmissions@rydeshill.org.uk or complete the form below.
"Leaders of the early years are experienced and knowledgeable and children's early learning needs are very well met. Children are confident around adults in the setting and feel safe, secure and happy."
