A trusted start from a name you know
At Cranleigh, we understand how important those first educational steps are – and we’re delighted to welcome your little ones into our brand-new Pre-School for children aged 3-4. Here, your child will be cared for in a safe, inspiring environment where they can grow, explore, and thrive from day one.
With Cranleigh’s long-standing reputation for excellence in education and care, parents can be confident their child is in safe, nurturing, and expert hands. Our Pre-School brings the values, quality, and community spirit of Cranleigh to your child’s very first steps in education.

Space to grow, play, and discover
Set within Cranleigh’s beautiful grounds, our Pre-School offers children space to play, learn, and grow. With access to forest school, dedicated play areas, and exceptional facilities, every day is an adventure that inspires curiosity and joy.
A home from home with expert care
Our experienced Early Years practitioners provide the warmth, understanding, and support every young child deserves. We place pastoral care and emotional wellbeing at the heart of everything we do, creating a home-from-home environment where children feel known, valued, and loved.
A qualified teacher and teaching assistant introduce children to reading, writing and early numeracy – helping them build confidence and curiosity from the start.
Warmth, connection, and confidence
We believe children thrive when they feel secure, supported, and inspired. Our strong culture of warmth, connection, and trust ensures a seamless partnership between parents, staff, and children.
At Cranleigh Pre-School, your child will learn alongside peers from caring families who share similar values – while our expert staff nurture social skills, empathy, and confidence that last a lifetime.
