Every child is known & encouraged
At Cranleigh Pre-Prep, we welcome children in Reception, Year 1, and Year 2, providing a nurturing environment where each child can grow, explore, and flourish. Education for us isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our teachers nurture curiosity, confidence, and kindness – encouraging children to try everything from art and music to science and sport. Supported by outstanding resources, small class sizes and specialist teaching, every child begins discovering what makes them them.
A campus built for discovery
Set in 280 acres of Surrey countryside, Cranleigh Pre-Prep gives children daily access to nature, wide-open play, and purpose-built facilities. It’s an environment designed for curiosity – where even our youngest learners can explore big ideas from day one.
Learning through doing
Children learn best when they’re moving, building, and trying things for themselves.
From forest school and outdoor sports to hands-on science and expressive arts, our curriculum celebrates learning through doing – nurturing creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving.
Happy children supported at every step
We believe that happy children learn best. Our caring pastoral support ensures every day at Cranleigh Pre-Prep is joyful and age-appropriate, building emotional wellbeing and laying the foundation for lifelong curiosity and confidence.
Early foundations for future confidence
Our approach goes beyond academics. We build emotional intelligence, social confidence, and resilience from day one. Children leave Cranleigh Pre-Prep ready not just for the next stage of school – but ready to meet life’s challenges with self-belief and kindness. Our values are at the heart of everything we do. We encourage children to aspire boldly, be themselves, and be kind to others – becoming the kind of people others want to be around.
