Outdoor Classroom

Our EYFS garden is known as ‘The Outdoor Classroom’, an area where both reception classes are free to explore, investigate, imagine, play and learn, outside in the fresh air.

Whether the girls are planting their own flowers and herbs, taking observations of insects at the bug hotel, developing their gross motor skills on the climbing frame, or setting sail on the ‘HMS Holy Cross’ ship, there’s lots of fun to be had!

This outdoor space also benefits from an all-weather gazebo, allowing lessons and activities to take place outside all year round. The girls enjoy painting, playing in the sand pit and building on their STEM skills in a range of problem-solving experiments.

Holy Cross Prep School

All Year Round Nursery

We are delighted to announce our Pre-School Nursery, Little Sparks, will now be open all year round from September 2025

Little Sparks will become an all-year-round provision, closing for only one week during Christmas and all bank holidays.

During the school holidays, our extended early years provision based in Little Sparks will also be offered to reception children, providing all year-round childcare for this age group. For further information or to register please email Mrs Wilman, Registrar.
