EARLY YEARS

At Heath Mount’s Pre-Prep, all children are encouraged to explore, be curious and develop to their full potential in a secure and nurturing environment. We want their first steps in education to be full of happiness, wonder, creativity and hands-on experiences that will foster a life-long love of learning.  Thanks to small class sizes and a home-from-home mentality, we really get to know each child and ensure they feel valued for who they are - celebrating successes no matter how big or small. 

Our highly experienced team of Early Years teachers and classroom assistants deliver an enriching and creative curriculum that cements core learning skills and strategies while offering abundant opportunities to learn through play and build friendships.  Supported by strong moral values, children quickly learn the importance of self-respect and show courtesy and kindness for others. In the Pre-Prep we make the most of our acres of beautiful grounds with plenty of opportunity for our youngest pupils to play and learn in the great outdoors including weekly Forest School in the woods.  

Pupils entering at Nursery and Pre-Prep must feel they have arrived in an infant utopia, complete with sandpits, slides, shaded areas, sensory woodland trails, wooden workstations (including a drum kit), mud kitchens, guinea pigs, fish and more.
