The Nursery is an integral part of Kilgraston Prep School providing a highly flexible and caring pre-school education where children between the ages of 2½ and 5 years enjoy, within small numbers, a secure, happy, creative and structured day, giving them confidence right from the beginning. There are two three hour flexible sessions a day, five days a week with lunch in the dining room for those children staying all day. At the Nursery the children learn to be creative, to socially interact and to gain independence and self-assurance from learning to manage simple tasks for themselves. Whilst they receive a thorough grounding in basic reading, writing and numeracy, the close relationship with the Prep and Senior School enables them also to benefit from specialist teachers to take part in French lessons, music and gym. Kilgraston's stunning setting provides ample opportunity for nature trails, games and exercise without leaving the campus, and children are given the chance to explore and develop an early interest in the natural world.
