RGS The Grange is an outstanding private nursery and prep school and an exceptional place to start a child’s educational journey. It is full of happy, confident children who are clearly inspired by a dedicated and nurturing team of staff, sharing a wonderful sense of community.

Children can join RGS The Grange nursery from the age of two. This is a magical age and the staff ensure that a little touch of magic is present in their learning every day! The youngest pupils join ‘Ladybirds’, move onto ‘Caterpillars’ and then into ‘Butterflies’, before turning five years of age.

RGS The Grange work closely with parents to build up a comprehensive and satisfying record of every child’s progress and achievements as they move towards the early learning goals. Nursery children have the added benefit of belonging to a larger school community and the advantages this offers. The excellent facilities and expertise of teachers on site, provide children with opportunities to enjoy music, art, dance, sports and explore outdoors in the fabulous Forest School.

Nutritious cooked lunches are prepared on-site each day, ensuring children enjoy a healthy and well-balanced diet. The Nursery is open 7.45am to 6pm and provides flexible sessions Monday to Friday.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at RGS The Grange, particularly in the Caterpillars class. The environment is incredibly nurturing, and the team goes above and beyond to create a warm and supportive space for the children.


A special mention must go to one of the staff members, who has

been nothing short of exceptional. Her kindness, patience, and dedication have made such a positive impact on our child. Since joining the Caterpillars class, our child has come on leaps and bounds-growing in confidence, developing new skills, and truly excelling in ways we could only have hoped for.


We are so grateful to the whole team for their hard work and commitment. It's clear they genuinely care about each child's development, and we feel incredibly lucky to be part of such a fantastic setting.

We have found RGS The Grange to be an excellent nursery for our children. It delivers childcare at a level far higher than other (very well rated) nurseries we have used. Our children are happy and developing both rapidly and comprehensively due to the dedicated staff and wide variety of resources available
to them. Staff are engaging, communicate well with us about their progress and are clearly well led. They are open to change when suggested and clearly really do care about the children in their charge. I have absolutely no reservation in recommending the nursery at all.

Our daughter started mid-term last year, and every staff member has played a role in helping her settle in. Now, she looks forward to going to nursery every morning! The culture in this establishment is truly special-more so than in other childcare settings we've experienced. She always comes home happy,
which, as a mother, is all I can ask for. It reassures me that she is being cared for, listened to, and loved. Choosing this nursery was the best decision we made, even if it means a 16-mile round trip every day. The effort is more than worth it!

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We have been really impressed with the nursery at RGS The Grange. Having such a close connection to the main school means the children have access to amazing facilities and in our experience the nursery children are made to feel like an integral part of the school community. Our eldest daughter thrived
there for under the care of kind, considerate staff who clearly get to know each child and their peculiarities! The transition up to reception was seamless and I'm certain that is due to all of the effort the staff put into the pre-school year.


Our youngest child is now at the nursery too and loving it! Anecdotally I hear parents impressed with "special" activities other nurseries have put on and they are always things that RGS The Grange provides as standard every week. From ballet to baking, forest school and wraparound care included, there is always something exciting happening and the daily updates are lovely to receive. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Since joining RGS The Grange Nursery, our daughter has developed and flourish. The opportunities provided throughout the day for children at the nursery are exceptional and she comes home every day with a beaming smile. Receiving daily updates in the form of pictures and videos from the staff is always
reassuring and is great to keep us in the loop with what is going on.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough and already looking forward to our son joining when he is two years old.

After a previous bad experience within a childcare setting, our daughter has absolutely thrived at RGS the grange!
They have been nothing but supportive to us all from the beginning and we cannot fault them.
Our daughter is learning new things everyday, we almost can't keep up. She loves going in
first thing in the morning and sometimes even tries to go back in on pick up!
We couldn't recommend them enough!

I cannot recommend RGS The Grange Nursery enough. From the moment my son started attending, I have not worried about him whilst he is there as I know he is being looked after. The teachers are lovely but also experts at what they do and he is learning and progressing beyond expectations. Most importantly,
he is very happy going to nursery and has lots of fun!

5 stars all round.
Staff- all very friendly, compassionate and genuinely care about the well-being and progress of our daughter. Each staff member we've dealt with seems very well-trained and experienced.
Facilities- incredible. Our daughter has been at another nursery before and the RGS facilities
are without doubt a level above. As it's linked to the primary school the grounds to explore are huge- From playgrounds to forest schools. The lunch provided is very good too.
Activities: huge variety of activities on offer. The days are kept largely fluid but with some set classes such as music and movement, PE and even French ( our 2-year-old loves the French lessons!). The nursery put on a lovely Christmas event which was nice to meet other parents and see our daughter in the nursery environment.
App- the updates on the app make our day. Regular photos, what they have had for lunch and the activities throughout the day.
Highly recommend RGS due to all the above!

My little boy has loved his time in the nursery here. He was a bit reluctant to start with, but the staff were so good with him that it didn’t take him long to settle in. The activities and subjects they work on really do give them such a good start before they start reception. We’ve noticed such a
leap in all aspects of his development. The 'forest school' is amazing too. The grounds of the school are such a nice place to be. It really is excellent and the staff really do make it so. The children are so lucky to have them. Huge thank you for making those early years packed full with such lovely memories.

A wonderful setting. Our child suffers from separation anxiety, but the staff have gone above and beyond to help him settle. They are so kind and nurturing and you get a strong impression that they truly care about the children and it isn’t just a ‘job’ for them. Children’s activities are based around
weekly themes, which keeps them so engaged. There are lots of extra activities throughout the week like gymnastics, cooking and French, which gives the day great structure. Staff take full advantage of the school’s wonderful grounds and facilities, as children spend plenty of time outside every day which is lovely. Superb communication with parents; daily photo updates on the app and verbal updates on handover. The children always look like they are having a ball in the photos and are constantly learning through play. Five stars from us, thank you RGS The Grange Nursery!

Our son started just after his second birthday at RGS The Grange. Initially, we were apprehensive for him to start nursery, but our fears were quickly put at ease. The facilities and range of activities such as cooking, music, french and balance bikes are fabulous. We have been especially pleased with
the time the children spend outdoors, including but not limited to their weekly Forest School sessions. The staff are all incredibly kind and experienced, they’ve helped our son feel really settled and cared for. His confidence and development have truly accelerated during his time at nursery.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.982)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.982) out of 10 for RGS The Grange Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.982 for RGS The Grange Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (222 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 226 Ratings = 4.982

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for RGS The Grange Nursery is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
