Nursery Schools

What's the difference between nursery and preschool? 
Preschools usually work around a formal curriculum and trained teachers - making them a little more expensive! Nursery schools are usually a more relaxed learning environment and more flexible enrolment terms. They are also cheaper and vary greatly.

What age is a preschooler? Ages up to 4 is considered preschooler with toddlers are 1 - 3 year old bracket. Basically 4-year-old are not 'toddling' around any more and so are no longer toddlers!

What does preschool mean? A preschool, or nursery school, is a pre-primary school, or play school for early childhood education. Preschool is for children before they begin compulsory education at primary school. 

Is Pre K considered preschool? Pre K schools are pre-kindergartens.

Ready Steady Grow! Day Nursery

171 Elwick Rd, Hartlepool TS26 9NP, UK – 01429 890729

My daughter is in the babies room at this nursery and I cannot fault the professionalism of the the staff there To see my daughter's face light up with excitement every time we take her and then to see that same smile when she sees the staff leads us to believe that she is happy and safe in the nursery. There have been occasions when she has had to be taken home but on occasion they have been in constant contact with either myself or my wife. I can't recommend this nursery enough. You just have to look at how happy your child is to know how good it is. As far as I am concerned, this nursery is flawless and all the staff especially those in the babies room with my daughter are amazing. Well deserved 5 stars.

The flight flew from RAF Brize Norton on 24th April 2024 with 500 cuddly giraffes on board to raise money and awareness for Great Ormond Street Hospital in memory of Louise Conway who died at just nine years old of leukaemia in 2013. Queen Ethelburga's Collegiate donated 50% of the production costs on behalf of the junior school, Chapter House, and our Forces community across campus - which is about 25% of our total student population.
