Eaton Square

As parents, we all want our children to thrive and excel academically, while also having fun and enjoying their childhood. This vital combination is precisely what Eaton Square Prep and Nursery Schools offer; and shows no signs of slowing thanks to the latest expansion of its sought-after Prep and Nursery provision.

September 2023 will see the launch of yet another Eaton Square Nursery School (named, ‘The Nest’), as well as a new STEAM Learning Centre for Eaton Square Prep School children.

Don’t miss out! Applications for The Nest (September 2023 start) and Reception at Eaton Square Prep School (September 2024 start) are already open.

New Nursery School!

The Waiting List for Eaton Square Nursery Schools fills up quickly. Due to popular demand, Eaton Square will therefore be adding ‘The Nest’ – a new Nursery School for 2-4 year olds – to its current School family.

Eaton SquareBased in Pimlico, The Nest will champion a child-focused environment and have a strong emphasis on learning through play. Like Eaton Square’s existing Treehouse, Beehive and Greenhouse Nursery Schools, The Nest promises to be an academic haven for young learners, encouraging them to explore their surroundings, experiment with different materials and interact with others in a playful and natural way.

Aside from a truly one-of-a-kind design (just as existing Eaton Square Nursery Schools feature a three-storey treehouse and beehive in which to explore, the new Nursery will feature its own ‘Nest’), Eaton Square’s approach to teaching and learning is underpinned by the latest research in early childhood development.

We spoke to Annabel Coaker, Admissions Director at Eaton Square Prep School, who says “It is well documented that play-based learning is highly effective in promoting children’s cognitive, social and emotional development. At Eaton Square, we strongly believe that children learn best when they feel happy, healthy and wholeheartedly supported. We have therefore structured the ethos, environment and entire learning approach of both our Prep and Nursery Schools to ensure this.”

In addition, children at Eaton Square Nursery Schools enjoy teaching from the very best Early Years specialists and plenty of outdoor play time. This, alongside regular encouragement to express themselves, share their thoughts and ideas, and develop positive relationships, provides a solid foundation for future academic success.

New STEAM Learning Centre

The belief that children learn best when they are having fun does not stop at Nursery.

It continues through to Reception at Eaton Square Prep School, and evidently reaps the benefits. Eaton Square has long been celebrated for academic excellence, as is best demonstrated by their repeatedly impressive 11+ results. Year 6 pupils consistently achieve offers from the UK’s leading senior schools: Westminster, St Paul’s, Dulwich, Eton, Harrow, Cheltenham Ladies College, Putney High, JAGS, Alleyns, Godolphin and Latymer, City of London – to name but a few.

To further bring their STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) offering to new heights, Eaton Square Prep School will launch an innovative STEAM Learning Centre this September. Located on the first floor of the school, this vibrant learning space will truly bring the Sciences to life for pupils aged 4-11. Interactive features will include a dynamic floor, Draw Alive zone and two-storey space rocket in which to expand their learning.

Indeed, Science is a notable highlight at Eaton Square. For British Science Week 2023, the school teamed up with professional scientists from The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Francis Crick Institute, UCL and The Royal Society, enabling pupils to get stuck into experiments, chemical reactions, plant workshops, mock antigen testing and even some heart dissections.

Don’t take our word for it. The Good Schools Guide – the UK’s best source of unbiased guides and reviews of independent education options – aptly sums up Eaton Square, stating, “Children are happy here as they have the freedom to be themselves”.
