Nursery Class for 3 - 4 year olds
"Let us open the gate to your child's future"
At Rendcomb, we believe that in nurturing children's natural inquisitiveness they discover that learning is fun, thereby establishing a good foundation for their future progression through the school. We understand the importance of high quality pre-school education and aim to ensure that your child will embark on their educational journey with enthusiasm, developing their literacy and numeracy skills alongside those of creativity and imagination.
We offer an unrivalled environment for learning and outdoor activities. Our light, spacious and airy rooms are individually designed and are well equipped and superbly resourced creating an attractive and stimulating learning environment. Rendcomb College is set within 200 acres of Cotswolds parkland where children can have space and freedom to play and explore in beautiful surroundings.
There is a strong emphasis on personal and social skills in a friendly, positive and caring environment, encouraging children to grow in confidence and self esteem. Encouraging children to work and play both independently or in a group, they will be so immersed in the fascinating experience of discovering themselves and the world around them, they will hardly notice the increasing formality of the classroom and the importance we place on high standards of behaviour and the development of good work habits. Parents are encouraged to participate in their children's learning and development at each stage of the process.

Our Nursery offers flexible arrangements based on sessions, 5 mornings and 5 afternoons. There is a minimum requirement for children to attend 3 sessions, which must include at least 2 mornings. It is normal practice for children to increase the number of sessions during the academic year in preparation for full-time education in the Reception class.
Session Times
The Nursery runs during school term times only along similar times to Junior School. Drop off is from 8.15am onwards although the morning session officially starts at 9.00am.
Full Day 9.00am-3.30pm
