Prince’s Mead Nursery

Welcome to the enchanting world of learning and laughter at our Nursery nestled within the heart of Prince’s Mead, a popular independent Pre-Prep and Prep day school dedicated to enabling every child to flourish in a stimulating and nurturing environment. 

The nursery is devoted to children aged 3 to 4 years old who will be moving into Reception at Prince’s Mead the following year. The children learn through purposeful play, both child-initiated and adult directed, which flows indoors and outdoors.

Set in 13 acres of grounds to the North East of Winchester, within the South Downs National Park, the nursery benefits from access to the school’s extensive facilities and specialist teachers including an outdoor learning space in Gray’s Wood, a multipurpose sports hall, extensive library, and eclectic music room.

Our nursery is designed to nurture curiosity, creativity and confidence, setting the stage for a journey of discovery at Prince’s Mead through to 11 years old.

My children are fantastically happy. There are of course great facilities as one might expect at a private school, but it is the staff that make the school so great. Without exception, the staff create a brilliant environment.
