Nursery &
Pre-Prep

The St Michael’s journey starts here as we create a lively, happy and secure environment where children can develop their confidence and self-esteem to embrace the challenges and learning opportunities.

The children use their enthusiasm and excitement to build and work for their future. We take pride in offering high academic standards, catering to the needs of all our children, and fostering a spirit of exploration, discovery, and a genuine love for learning.

The department works together to develop and motivate children who grow in independence, are hard-working and successful thinkers and learners.

The school places emphasis on values like care, consideration, and courtesy, creating a nurturing environment.

Nursery
