the nursery difference

Blackheath High Nursery is a magical place where your daughter will embark on a journey of discovery and growth, in an inspiring learning environment designed for girls. The early years of a child’s education are essential in all future learning – we provide girls with a joyful, enriching foundation to that future, supporting them to reach every milestone, achieve every ambition and learn without limits.

"There is much expert evidence to demonstrate how crucial the first few years of a child’s education are – OFSTED says 'a high-quality early years education... affects not only future educational attainment but also future health and happiness', while the Centre for Early Childhood explains that 'Our relationships, surroundings and experiences during our first five years shape the adults we become'."
Lizie Riordan, Head of Early Years

early years experts

Our small classes, expert Early Years teachers and dedicated teaching assistants ensure each girl receives the care and attention she needs to flourish.

Lessons in French, Music and PE with our specialist subject teachers mean that pupils benefit from high-quality teaching from the very start, laying the foundations for a lifelong love of learning.

Adult and child playing outside

Specialists in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework – which supports children’s development across key areas like communication, physical skills, literacy and maths – our teachers support girls to explore, discover and grow through hands-on learning in specially designed indoor and outdoor spaces, including our unique Forest School.

To meet our expert teachers and explore our amazing facilities, book a Nursery and Forest School tour.

academic and adventurous

Blackheath High Nursery offers a world of adventure and imagination; whether they are exploring our Forest School, building a fort, or making tea-time treats, our youngest girls develop independence, creativity and early academic skills through play-based exploration and discovery. Our highly skilled teachers understand that children learn best through curiosity, and that play is the most powerful learning tool – using a wide variety of teaching strategies to spark independent thinking and intellectual ambition.

a journey together

As part of the Blackheath High community, your daughter will be supported every step of the way, from her very first day in Nursery to Sixth Form and beyond. We go on a journey together. Our all-through school approach means we really get to know each girl – not just her academic progress but how she learns, what brings her joy, where she might need more of a challenge and what makes her thrive.

Without the pressure of the 11+ process to navigate, she can build lasting relationships, find her confidence and develop a genuine love of learning. Our consistently outstanding exam results are a testament to this approach, combining academic excellence with a deep commitment to personal growth, wellbeing and opportunity at every stage.
