Nursery
Nursery Life
The nursery at Kensington Wade is a fully immersive bilingual environment, allowing pupils to become at ease learning in two languages. We include learning experiences far beyond the national parameters on quality and the statutory framework. We cover Chinese & English CLL (Communication, Language & Literacy), Phonics, Maths, PSED, Music and Sport.
We warmly welcome parents who share our goal of a high quality bilingual education and who are committed to supporting their child’s learning journey. Our full curriculum is key to delivering that education.
Life in our nursery at Kensington Wade is busy, fun and action-packed! We believe that the early years of a child’s education are the most important and we provide a warm, caring and stimulating environment in which every child can flourish and develop the vital skills that will be with them for the rest of their lives.
The nursery at Kensington Wade is set in its own standalone open-plan building with an outdoor play area. Both indoors and outdoors, our nursery environment encourages self-directed learning and a wide choice of activities for pupils to choose – from cooking to painting and water play to singing. We have a full complement of experienced and caring teachers and assistants to ensure that all pupils have a high level of direct contact, stimulation and encouragement.
Children can join the Kensington Wade nursery as soon as they turn three. The nursery day runs from 8.00am to 3.30pm in line with the rest of the school, five days a week. Kensington Wade is a selective school and we assess all pupils to ensure that they are capable of successfully accessing our bi-lingual curriculum. Please note that full time attendance is the optimal attendance requirement to achieve a full immersive bi-lingual education.
We currently participate in the Government’s FEEE (Free Early Education Entitlement) Scheme, providing funding for 15 hours of childcare from the term following their third birthday.
