We could not be more thrilled with the nursery for our son. We saw lots of others before we discovered it and the main pluses of Coworth Flexlands School Nursery for us are:
1. The nursery teachers are the only Ive met who I felt I could trust implicitly. Very experienced, genuinely caring and fun, and really good role models.
2. Outdoor space is wonderful and used as much as possible (and an amazing huge outdoor sandpit).
3. Their model of learning through play. This was a big factor for us. I work in education and wanted somewhere that specialised in play-based learning but - despite all

Coworth-Flexlands is a lovely, small, nurturing school that really gives children the opportunity to thrive. The small class sizes mean children get lots of individual attention from the teacher and enable the teachers to adapt teaching to the needs every member of the class. The special needs provision is, in my experience, excellent and my child has really benefitted from the additional support he has received. Sadly he will leave at the end of the year because it's girls only from Y3. My eldest was also at Coworth from Y3-6. And made excellent academic progress during her time at Coworth. She

We knew the minute we arrived at Coworth Flexlands Prep School, that this was the right school for our family. Our daughter loves everything about the school. The staff and teachers are amazing, the classrooms and grounds are exceptional and the activities and extra care is fantastic. She loves the outdoor classroom with forest time and the support system they have with older buddies. We feel so lucky to have found such a great school!

My daughter has been a pupil here for nearly 4 years and she loves it as much as we do. I am so happy to send her into such a kind and supportive environment every day and it is lovely to watch her love of learning and knowledge expand.
