At Devonshire House, our Nursery School comprises two groups: ‘Acorns’, for children starting at two years old, and ‘Oaks’, for those joining at three.

Why Devonshire House Nursery?
Our Nursery provides the ideal foundation for your child’s educational journey. Experienced, nurturing teachers foster growth—physically, emotionally, and socially—nurturing happy, confident learners ready to bond and explore.
Children in our Nursery receive an automatic place in Reception and continue seamlessly through Year 8. Close collaboration between Nursery and Reception teachers ensures a smooth transition, including exciting experiences like Forest School in their second year.
