Little Griffins Nursery – from 2 years old

Is your child ready for their next big adventure?

Little Griffins Nursery at St Edward’s Prep in Reading is the perfect launch pad for children ready to explore the world. Here, in our nurturing and stimulating setting, children are encouraged to discover the world around them, excel in the things they love best and enjoy every step of their learning adventure. From January, we will be extending the Nursery to welcome children from the age of two, and we have a special event so that you can experience the magic for yourself!


“Pupils from the very youngest ages demonstrate an excitement to learn, curiosity and excellent attitudes towards their learning.”
