The Granville School

Both our daughters have attended The Granville’s kindergarten – our eldest is now in reception, and our youngest is in her first year of kindergarten.

We have always been absolutely delighted with the care, learning environment, teachers and the progress that our children have made. It is a truly nurturing environment, where the girls have developed confidence and skills. I have always felt that the teachers understood their learning, social and development needs, and have tailored their learning to their specific requirements.

The school is very good at communicating with us about the girls’ learning. We are regularly updated via the app platform, and there is a constant dialogue between teacher and parents. There are lots of enriching activities with specialist teachers – our girls love their swimming, PE, IT and music lessons.

Most of all, I feel that the teachers are real experts, care deeply about the children in their care, and know the girls really, really well.

All three of my daughters have attended the kindergarten at The Granville School with my youngest now in reception. They all loved their kindergarten years. The staff are exceptionally experienced and professional, quickly understanding the quirks and needs of every child under their care. My girls have thoroughly enjoyed the specialist IT, French and music lessons available to them, even at such a young age. An emphasis on outdoor learning and learning about the world around them through observing the hatching of chicken eggs, planting of seeds, etc, is a delight. All in all, The Granville kindergarten provides a fabulous learning foundation for children to build on as they move into reception and further through the school years.

An outstanding kindergarten where my daughter has benefited from truly dedicated staff who daily, provide a varied and interesting curriculum and a firm foundation for all before ‘reception’’. Their enthusiasm is infectious, and my daughter runs in, in the morning and then out with a smiling face in the afternoon with tales of the activities of the day. This is certainly not just ‘another nursery’’, and deserves the high regard with which it is held by the many whose children go on and progress through the school.

Our daughter loves attending kindergarten. She has benefited particularly from the very clear structure and fantastic teaching. Her behaviour can be less than ideal if she is not kept fully engaged, but this has not been a problem at school, where she is fully engaged all day in a variety of activities. We are told she has even become one of the best helpers in her class!

Fantastic teachers with a nurturing and welcoming atmosphere. Extremely impressed with the timetable and activities such as swimming and forest school. My daughter settled instantly and skips in daily.
