Early Years

A Remarkable Start to a Lifelong Journey

The early years of a child’s life are full of wonder, discovery, and rapid development. At Birkenhead School, we believe these formative years play a vital role in shaping each child’s confidence, curiosity, and love of learning.

Our Early Years provision includes both Nursery, welcoming children from the age of two, and Pre Prep, where they continue their journey from the age of three. These settings provide a nurturing, stimulating environment where children feel safe, valued, and inspired to explore the world around them.

For many, this is where the Birkenhead School adventure begins — a place where strong foundations are laid for a future of happiness, creativity, and success in learning and life.

Wellbeing and lifelong learning

We work hard to provide enabling environments that stimulate, excite and intrigue the children so that they are curious to see and do more. All these experiences help to shape their individual development and build the foundations for future success, wellbeing and lifelong learning.

From Nursery to Pre-Prep, the children learn through play. Children can become deeply involved in play, taking things they already know and combining them in new ways to increase their understanding of the world and build on existing learning.

Our Early Years Setting

Situated within the beautiful grounds of Birkenhead School, we have easy access to the wider school facilities. Regular walks and activities within the School grounds add to the wider experiences for our littlest learners and help when they come to move through the School.

We warmly invite you to visit our Early Years settings and see what makes us a special place for your child’s formative years with visits welcome throughout the year. We look forward to meeting you and your family.
