At Gidea Park Prep School & Nursery, we provide a warm, stimulating, and nurturing environment where young children develop a lifelong love for learning. Located in the heart of Gidea Park, Romford, our nursery offers a play-based, child-centred approach that fosters confidence, independence, and creativity—preparing children for a seamless transition into Reception and beyond. 

We ensure a smooth transition for children from the Nursery to Reception. To facilitate this transition, our Reception room is conveniently located next door to the Pre-School. This physical proximity allows for easy access and familiarity between the Pre-School and Reception pupils.

Why Choose us ?

Personalised Attention & Smaller Classes for Focused Learning

We take the time to get to know each child individually, fostering strong bonds and identifying their strengths to support their growth. With smaller, more intimate classes, each child receives the attention and support they deserve.

Specialist Subject Exposure

From an early age, children benefit from specialist teaching in Spanish, Physical Education, and other enriching subjects, which enhance their overall learning experience.

Affordable Excellence with Added Value

We provide exceptional care and education at an affordable price. As a prep school, nursery children are fully integrated with the rest of the school, ensuring a seamless transition and access to the entire school environment—not isolated in a separate building.

Tech-Heavy Learning Environment

Our curriculum embraces technology, equipping children with the tools to thrive in a digital world from the start of their learning journey.
