What makes Little St Mary’s so special
Little St Mary’s is our purpose-built Early Years setting, located adjacent to our Pre-Prep building, welcoming girls in Nursery and Reception. From their very first day, our girls are nurtured in a warm, inspiring environment filled with joy, curiosity, and purposeful learning.
A structured daily routine includes Maths, English and Phonics, helping children build confidence and strong foundations for school life. It’s wonderful to see how quickly our girls begin to read, write, and develop a genuine love of learning.
What makes Little St Mary’s special
Our enriched Early Years programme offers far more than the essentials:
- Free Breakfast Club from 7.30am
- Free Wraparound care until 6pm
- Forest School in all weathers
- French through song, stories and role-play

But beyond the timetable, there’s something even more special. Step into our classrooms and you’ll see — and hear — girls who are happy, confident, curious, and ready for the next stage of their learning journey.
