Imagine a Nursery and school where you don’t have to choose between your head and your heart.

A place which gives your child the best possible start in life without compromising on the love, care, sparkle, joy and fun so critical to early development. Where the warmth and nurturing environment of an exceptional Nursery meet the opportunities, expertise and ambition of an outstanding Pre-Prep School.

At St Christopher’s, our Nursery is very much part of our school. From the earliest years, children benefit from specialist teaching, inspiring facilities and the rich experiences that come from belonging to a thriving school community. It is a wonderful combination: all the magic and exuberance of a happy childhood, alongside the foundations for a lifelong love of learning. From January 2027, our Nursery will also offer year-round provision, giving families greater flexibility and continuity of care, with the same exceptional early education and nurturing approach at its heart.

Our success as Independent Pre-Prep School of the Year 2025 reflects the way in which we tread this path. Whilst it’s lovely to be recognised, awards are not what drive us. Our key motivation is to maximise the window of opportunity for your child: to ensure those all-important early years are exciting, inspiring and set your child up for future life with a love of learning, resilience, confidence, empathy and independence. And, as children progress through our Pre-Prep, we open up opportunities and pathways to outstanding schools beyond St Christopher’s.

Your child will achieve high standards in the most memorable way here, nurtured by specialists and experts in early education. Imagine Olympic-style opening ceremonies led by the children at Sports Day, baking birthday cakes with friends in Nursery or designing a new chocolate bar for Mars Confectionery…

Prospective families often describe a sense of relief on visiting us: both at finding an education for the head and the heart, and at discovering the support we offer parents. Parenting young children can be challenging; we partner with you to ensure your child has the best possible start. Our new year-round Nursery is another way in which we are responding to the needs of families, offering greater flexibility without compromising on the quality of your child’s experience.

Come and see us on a working day and discover for yourself the sparkling creativity that makes St Christopher’s so special.
