Welcome to our wonderful world…
The award-winning Ramsgate Nursery, based at St Lawrence College in Kent, aims to offer an imaginative contemporary take on an old-fashioned idyllic childhood. Our modern, calm, and focused classroom environment is perfectly balanced with plenty of fresh air, muddy knees, creativity, and messy play. Kindness and respect are considered important, and with a freshly prepared hot lunch available with every session, children will be taught good table manners.
We believe that creative play in nature is an important part of learning, helping children to explore and understand the world. Our curriculum stretches across all areas of learning, with a strong focus on core language, literacy, and mathematical skills, combined with the exciting elements of Forest School where children learn through discovery and exploration. Having access to vast green landscapes and exciting forest terrain at St Lawrence College, nature is an integral part of our pupils’ everyday schooling. The curriculum is further enhanced by specialist teaching in subjects including Music, Swimming, PE, and French.
With a small class size (maximum of 16 children), our Nursery embraces a wonderful family atmosphere of learning and playing together, all under the watchful eye of experienced Head of Pre-Prep and Early Years’ Qualified Teacher, Mrs Sarah Peskett. The enriched curriculum offers quality learning experiences designed to give your child the very best possible start to their education.
Our Ramsgate Nursery offers two sessions per day
- Morning session: 08.30-12.30 (includes lunch)
- Afternoon session: 12.30-15.30
For parents who require an early drop-off, care is available from 8.00 am at no extra cost. The late stay session from 3.30 pm to 5.00 pm is free for children who stay all day. Parents may select as many morning or afternoon sessions as they wish, although we recommend at least two sessions per week for continuity.
Our Nursery is situated in the heart of the Pre-Prep Department and is very much a part of the Junior School, with pupils benefiting from the School’s outstanding grounds and facilities, including a lovely, clean, and spacious heated indoor swimming pool.
