About Taunton Pre-Prep School
This exciting journey starts in the Nursery with babies from six months of age to our older children in the Pre-Prep at the end of Year two, aged seven years of age. Children then naturally progress into the next stage at Taunton Prep School (TPS).
Mrs Louise Leah is the Head of our Pre-Prep and Nursery leading this thriving part of the school, which has recently retained its “Outstanding” accreditation in Early Years from Ofsted. We believe that by creating a happy, nurturing environment for both the children and the staff, a first-class education follows, with our team of professional dedicated staff delivering an individualised approach to learning.
The Nursery is divided into four separate parts with each of the areas appropriate for the age and stage of the children. This enables us to create a bespoke environment to meet your child’s needs, supported by our nurturing and experienced staff.
After the children have finished our Pre-school – the final stage of nursery – they seamlessly transition to one of our two Reception classes and continue to follow the EYFS until the beginning of Key Stage One in Year One.
We pride ourselves in supporting our busy parents the best way we can, so with this in mind, we offer an early drop off from 07.30am and are open until 5.45pm in the evening. This facility is open to both parents in the Nursery and the Pre-Prep. Our staff are always available to speak with you as we have a completely “Open Door” approach with our parents and know that this communication is vital to every child’s success.
