Nursery school is a crucial stepping stone in a child’s educational journey, laying the foundation for a lifetime of learning. Within the Nursery at RGS Prep the focus is on creating a nurturing and stimulating environment where young children can thrive.
Holistic Development
At RGS Prep we emphasise holistic development from our very youngest pupils who join us from 3 years old, ensuring that children grow intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically. Through a balanced mix of play-based and structured activities, children develop essential skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. These early experiences foster a love for learning that can last a lifetime.
Social Skills and Emotional Wellbeing
One of the key benefits of nursery is the development of social skills. When they join RGS Prep, children learn to interact with their peers, share and take turns. These interactions help children build strong relationships and develop empathy and cooperation. Our supportive environment and skilled nursery staff ensure that children feel safe and valued, promoting emotional wellbeing and resilience.
Language and Communication
Language development is a critical aspect of early education. At RGS Prep we provide a language-rich environment where children are encouraged to express themselves, listen to stories, and engage in conversations. This exposure to language helps children develop strong communication skills, which are essential for academic success and social interactions.
Cognitive and Physical Development
At RGS Prep, children engage in a variety of activities that promote cognitive and physical development. Hands-on learning experiences, such as building blocks, puzzles, and art projects, stimulate cognitive growth and fine motor skills. Equally as important are outdoor play and physical activities which help children develop gross motor skills, coordination, and a healthy lifestyle.
Preparation for Future Learning
Nursery school prepares children for the more structured learning environment of primary school. Within our nursery boys are introduced to basic literacy and numeracy concepts in a fun and engaging way. This early exposure helps them to build a strong foundation for future academic success.
Nursery school plays a vital role in preparing children for a lifetime of learning. The comprehensive approach at RGS Prep ensures that children develop the skills, confidence, and love for learning that will serve them well throughout their educational journey and beyond.
