Join Nursery & Reception

Children can start their education at Red House as soon as they are three years old.

Red House is a selective school. We welcome children to join us at any time, subject to places being available.

We are flexible in our approach to meet the needs of both children and parents by offering full-time and part-time places.

Parents can use their 15 hours Early Years Funding Grant towards the cost of our school fees. The grant is claimed by us, on behalf of the parent, and is available from the term following the child’s third birthday (for a total of six terms) until they reach their fifth birthday.

There is no assessment for entry into Nursery or Reception. If children are already in a nursery setting we can aid the transition by liaising with their current provider.

"When the time came to begin our own journey at Red House with our daughter, the experience lived up to every expectation and more. We were able to see and feel the true essence of what makes Red House such a remarkable place—its commitment to fostering a supportive, engaging, and nurturing environment for all its students.

From the strong relationships between staff and pupils to the encouragement of individual growth and achievement, it became clear that Red House is not just a school but a community that genuinely cares about the success and well-being of each child. We couldn’t be more excited to be part of it and see our daughter's academic successes flourish."
