September 13, 2024 at 12:34 amThey all loved their kindergarten years. The team are exceptionally experienced and expert, quickly understanding the quirks and needs of every kid 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 discovering and discovering 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 discovering foundation for kids to build on as they move into reception and further through the school years. All three of my daughters have attended the kindergarten at The Granville School with my youngest now in reception.

September 14, 2024 at 11:11 amTheir 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 childcare centre’’, and deserves the high regard with which it is held by the many whose kids go on and development through the school. An outstanding kindergarten where my daughter has benefited from truly dedicated team who daily, provide a varied and interesting curriculum and a firm foundation for all before ‘reception’’.

September 16, 2024 at 8:29 amIt is a truly nurturing setting, where the girls have developed self‑assurance and skills. I have consistently felt that the educators understood their discovering, social and development needs, and have tailored their discovering to their specific requirements.
The school is very great at communicating with us about the girls’ discovering. 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 educators – our girls adore their swimming, PE, IT and music lessons.
Most of all, I sense that the educators are real experts, care deeply about the kids in their care, and know the girls really, really well. 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 consistently been absolutely delighted with the care, discovering setting, educators and the development that our kids have made.

January 16, 2025 at 7:14 pmOur daughter joined The Granville School in January 2020, and she is so cheerful going there every day. The school is very much focused on the whole kid’s development. The educators are all extremely experienced, and the setting is exceptionally inviting, attentive and stimulating. I suggest it whole-heartedly. Our daughter’s previous childcare centre was great, but The Granville School is truly exceptional. A truly outstanding childcare centre and preschool.

March 2, 2025 at 11:14 amIt really is the teacher who makes the difference. So rarely fo you see kids running away from their parents and towards their educators, but that is what happened every day at drop-off. During the pick-up, all the kids have smiles on their faces. Some of the “hardware” issues, such as serving hot meals outside the meal hall have also been resolved, and we trust that future improvements will be made over time for incoming classes. Both our girls have absolutely adored their kindergarten journey at Granville.

April 2, 2025 at 7:22 amTeam were consistently inviting and welcoming, providing constructive insight into my kid’s discovering potential. We are impressed by the variety of subjects offered at such a young age, including ballet, French and ICT. My daughter loves the Forest School sessions and often talks about it. She enjoys the school every day and we never had any doubt that she would. Independence and care for others are valued, very pleased with our choice! For us, Kindergarten at Granville became my daughter’s favourite place away from home and was an integral part of settling into the local community after leaving London.

May 25, 2025 at 9:27 pmShe has benefited particularly from the very clear structure and remarkable 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! Our daughter loves attending kindergarten.

June 17, 2025 at 7:20 pmI have been thoroughly impressed by the provision offered by the preschool. My daughter wakes up excited to go to preschool and what she is going to learn during the day. The facilities are incredible with a forest school on-site, as well as a swimming pool for use in the summer term. There are specialist educators for I.C.T, French and PE. The early year’s educators have years of journey and assistance the kids fully in order for them to be thoroughly prepared for school. My daughter has been attending The Granville School since January 2020.
