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.

Although our son attended the setting for a relatively short period of time, his experience there was very rewarding and contributed to his social growth and skills development. The manager is competent with confidence and mature judgment. Staff are caring and friendly. The place is ALWAYS clean and tidy. The two owners are closely connected with their business, one of the owners is always there, available for questions and ready to help. GREAT PRESCHOOL Yasmine & Ted

This is by far the best preschool to enrol your child in Bromley. My daughters have been there for 2years now. They have both developed so much in learning and also in confidence. The teachers are amazing, always ready to listen to you and give advice if you have any questions or issue. My older daughter aged 4 now reads all by herself. I'm so grateful I chose this school for her foundation years. Beauty xx

Coopers School

Hawkwood Lane, Chislehurst BR7 5PS, UK – 020 8467 3263

Coopers School is an amazing and life changing school with many opportunities for all of the students! I would definitely recommend this school to any parents who are eager for their children to go to a mixed school and for your children to exceed in all their learning!

This school gets a bad rap from a lot of people on here so I thought I should say that my time there was brilliant and I honestly wouldn't want to swap my secondary education for any other local school. Most of the people in my year were nice enough and I had a good and supportive group of friends. Teachers were amazing and helped me in everyway they could in the lead up to my GCSEs (even though I was a pretty annoying child before year 10). Mr Harvey (English), Mr Snook (geography), Mr Duncan and Ms Roche (maths), and Ms Donagan (physics) were some of the best teachers I could have hoped for and are a big part in why I did ad well as I did and where I am now. Also, Sally Haslan is a lad. I would highly recommend this school to any child with ambition and prospects to achieve in life, as Coopers will help develop you as a person and assist you in getting the best grades you can get.

Farringtons School

Perry St, Chislehurst BR7 6LR, UK – 020 8467 0256

great school, god food, excellent education but I feel like the school should be more strict.

This school is absolutely fantastic. This school provides a very good education to all students. There is a large range of different subjects that will help you learn how to cook and use different tools. Everyone in this school is kind: the teachers and students. The teachers put lots of care in their lessons so that their students have fun and learn at the same time. I believe that the teachers play a big role due to their kindness to others. In this school there are many different trips throughout the years that are bound to make you smile. The lunches that the students receive are designed to be healthy and also including food for vegetarians. Another great thing about this school is that it is still expanding for the better. Anything said in the previous post about the teachers is not true. I can assure you because I have been going to this school for seven years, and never have I wanted to leave this school either. I recommend this school to any one.

Sally has made all the difference to my daughters confidence with her school work. The change in the way that she approaches her work has been remarkable and her marks within the classroom have reflected that. I was amazed that Ava was actually looking forward to taking her 11+ and found it quite exciting. This is far removed from the girl who was frightened to put her hand up for fear of getting questions wrong. It was never about achieving pass marks (although she now has a realistic chance), but more about ensuring that she could make the best of her abilities. Sally was both friendly and competent and her relaxed teaching style suited Ava perfectly. I can honestly say that Sally's input has helped Ava blossom into a confident young lady with a bright new outlook on her school work.
