School Readiness at Pippa’s House Weybridge: Preparing Confident Learners for the Classroom

Did you know that our Pippa’s House nursery in Weybridge offers more than a traditional preschool experience? We’re proud to have a dedicated School Readiness Room specifically designed for children starting school the following September, giving them the focus, support, and confidence they need to thrive in their next big chapter.

A Purpose-Built Room for School Preparation

Our School Readiness Room is tailored to the unique needs of children on the cusp of starting primary school. This environment is carefully designed to promote independence, build key skills, and ease the transition into a more structured setting.

Children in this room enjoy:

• Focused learning activities in literacy and numeracy

• Social skills development through collaborative play

• Opportunities for problem-solving and critical thinking

• Guided self-care routines to promote independence

We incorporate pre-reading, mark-making, number work, and phonics through engaging, play-based experiences that feel fun but are packed with educational value. Our team works closely with each child to build the confidence and emotional resilience that will serve them well when they enter the classroom.

Weekly Sports & Regular Outings

We believe in nurturing the whole child, which is why our School Readiness Room also includes weekly sports sessions. These activities are designed to build physical confidence, coordination, and teamwork - essential skills for both the playground and the classroom.

In addition, we take regular outings to local places like parks, libraries, and nature trails, helping children develop real-world confidence and an understanding of their community. These outings support learning in a meaningful way while encouraging curiosity and independence.

Why School Readiness Matters

Starting school is a huge milestone, and we want every child to step through those school gates feeling excited and ready. Our Weybridge nursery’s school readiness programme ensures that children not only meet the expected developmental milestones but exceed them, with the confidence and life skills to match.

Parents often tell us how impressed teachers are by their child’s ability to settle quickly, follow routines, and engage with learning - all thanks to the head start they received in our School Readiness Room.
