Our nursery is a warm and welcoming place where little ones can explore, learn, and begin their educational journey in a safe and supportive environment.
With over 25 years of experience, our modern, purpose-built centre is designed to help children play, grow, and build independence, an ideal first step on the Stamfordian journey.
Children are grouped into two rooms: Badgers (ages 2–3) and Preschool (ages 3–4).
Each class has its own indoor area with open access to outdoor learning environments, including climbing equipment, a mud kitchen, and a racetrack.
Stamford Nursery and Preschool offers endless opportunities for little explorers, with access to outdoor classrooms, spacious grounds, sports fields, and woodland areas.
Children also benefit from the excellent facilities at Stamford Junior School, including use of the private swimming pool and our woodland areas.
Our Nursery and Preschool children enjoy swimming lessons, Spanish classes, and dance sessions with the Welland School of Dance.
We follow the Reggio Emilia approach, a child-centred, play-based style of learning that encourages independence and responsibility.
With in-the-moment planning, children help shape each day, bringing their own ideas and interests into Nursery and Preschool.
Stamford Nursery and Preschool is based in the heart of the Junior School grounds. We have a self-contained, purpose-built space with convenient parking, with meals and snacks being freshly made and enjoyed in our own kitchen-diner.
Children enjoy climbing equipment, a mud kitchen, and a racetrack, with Outdoor Learning running year-round, fire-pit toast and woolly hats in winter, river paddling in summer.
Stamford Preschool's uniform includes a red polo t-shirt, a Stamford branded jumper and navy trousers, skirt or shorts.
The introduction of the uniform helps to foster a sense of belonging and prepares our children for the transition to Junior School.

Our cohesive approach supports a smooth move into Reception at Stamford Junior School, one key benefit of our Nursery and Preschool is the natural progression into our Reception class, continuing the Stamford journey.
Foundations laid in Preschool carry through to Reception, with regular meetings between Stamford Junior School staff, including our head and children to ensure everyone feels prepared and confident.
Consistency is key to instilling a foundation of confidence.
Throughout the foundation years, we work hard to encourage a sense of belonging in each child, as we believe that this is crucial to creating engaged and active learners.
The specialist teachers used for subjects such as swimming and Spanish are kept consistent, providing security and familiarity for children.
