Devonshire House Nursery is a school setting consisting of 2 groups:
We offer individual support in a warm, nurturing environment where your child can become a confident, resilient learner and form lasting friendships.
Our small class sizes and high staff: pupil ratios ensure that your child’s unique and natural talents are recognised and encouraged from the moment they start.
The Nursery team, teachers and support staff are highly qualified and dedicated to infusing every learning moment with fun and inspiration. They span extremely experienced teachers with master’s degrees, to newly qualified professionals full of exciting ideas which enrich our pedagogy.
Our aim is to give your child the best introduction to school life and build a love of learning that will last them throughout Devonshire House and beyond.
At Devonshire House home-from-home means getting to know you and your child, and doing all we can to make you both feel comfortable and at ease.
It is ringing you to let you know they’ve settled after a wobbly drop off and are busy chatting to you on a wooden block held to their ear. Home-from-home is stroking your child’s hair at nap time because that’s what they need to get to sleep. Home-from-home ensures that your child has the food they like, on a plate they like. It is setting out your child’s favourite farm animals before they arrive in the morning.
Home from home is natural, uncluttered spaces with fewer high-quality items. It is bespoke, caring and nurturing.
If your child feels at home, they will skip into school in the morning. And if they are happy at school, the rest will follow. Home-from-home is the basis for effective learning. It is the magic ingredient that allows your child to feel safe, known and loved which in turn fosters curiosity, exploration, endeavour and independence. Home-from-home also enables us to partner successfully with you. It keeps the communication lines open to prevent issues from festering and to share celebratory moments.
We’d love to welcome you. Come to an Open Morning and see if Devonshire House feels like your child’s home-from-home.
