Bumblebees

Our Pre-School/nursery class – Bumblebees takes children from the age of 2½

We do ask that children are dry when they join us.

Choosing a Pre school is an important decision.  At Bumblebees, our small class size means that children have the opportunity for growth and discovery.  As the Pre School is connected to our Prep School, the children will also interact with older children, allowing the transition to our Foundation (Reception) class to be seamless!

Afternoon Session | 12.30pm-3.30pm
Lunch time supervision available | 12-12.30pm
