Education and Tuition
Nursery at Warwick Prep
For most children, life at Warwick
Prep begins in our warm, welcoming
and secure Nursery.
A dedicated Early Years team help each child to feel happy,
confident and able to achieve as they take their first tentative
steps into the exciting world of learning. By providing a
carefully balanced programme of structured activities, alongside
learning through discovery and play, the children grow in
confidence while developing core skills and independence.
The children follow the EYFS curriculum and move from room
to room throughout the day as they carry out different activities.
Fun topic based events are planned with Reception, thus allowing
for a smooth transition as the children move into school.
The curriculum is enriched by outdoor trips for example,
visiting Warwick School to celebrate Chinese New Year and a
local study project at Hill Close Gardens where the children
develop curiosity and learn about the world around them as
they explore all their senses. Educational visitors are warmly
invited into the Nursery, often providing inspiration for
innovative music and movement events in the School Hall to
which parents are invited.
Drop-off is available free of charge from 8am with an After
School Club that runs until 5:45pm.
Excellent Facilities
Our purpose-built building has three quiet rooms and a large
playroom for role and imaginative play. The craft room is
well-resourced for those fun, messy activities! We also have
computers and interactive whiteboards, and finally a large,
secure outdoor play space just for Nursery. The children make
use of the School’s facilities including the Library, Music rooms
for their specialist Music lessons, Dining room, Bridge House
Sports Centre and the Astro Turf for PE and School Hall.
We also hold a weekly activity group for children due to start
Nursery the following September, called Nutkins. This provides
a gentle introduction to school life for both children and
parents in a relaxed atmosphere.

and Instagram @WarwickPrep. We regularly post stories
about the fun activities that take place in our Nursery.

5 Benefits Of 11 Plus Mock Exams
Taking the 11+ examination can be a daunting prospect for children as well as parents who naturally want the very best education for their children. We understand this and are able to offer the opportunity to expose your child to authentic examination conditions but in a supportive and encouraging environment. Our examination papers are updated to reflect the recent changes to the 11 plus exams and we send results via email on the day following each 11 plus mock exam. The report identifies strengths and weaknesses, so that we can target the areas which need attention. Our mock exams can also be used to independently monitor your child’s progress.
We can help your child build confidence under examination conditions and overcome nerves, develop effective examination techniques and become familiar with the format of the CEM 11 Plus used in Birmingham, Walsall, Warwickshire & Wolverhampton. Book online at: www.11plusmocks.co.uk

Forest School at Hatton .jpg)
As the pressure to understand the environment and nature and to lead a healthy life gathers pace, Hatton Children’s Nursery at Hatton Country World is seeing ever more interest. Children have free all-day access to all the fun and exciting activities on Hatton’s Adventure Farm, located next door to the Nursery, where they care for lambs and chicks. Swimming lessons are arranged either during or before/after the nursery sessions with Hatton’s private swim school.
The Forest School is aimed at children aged 3 – 5 years of age to encourage them to get closer to nature and learn about bush craft. The programme is planned to take place throughout the year in all seasons and in all weathers. Although the aim is to encourage children to develop and lead their own learning, a set structure offers children the opportunity to use real tools, build dens, learn about the environment, learn how to carve and whittle wood, identify plants and learn how a fire can be lit using a flint and steel as well as toasting marshmallows and heating up hot chocolate.
Hatton Children’s Nursery offers day care and sessions for babies and children up to 5 years old, combining the best in care and nursery education interwoven with the adventure of Hatton Country World. The Nursery is open from Monday to Friday and from 8am – 6pm with early starts available from 7:30am. Nursery Education funding is available for eligible children aged 2 and over.
