Our lively nursery is fun and exciting, we plan individual learning around the child’s interests and gain knowledge from parents about what the children like to do at home to help with each child’s development.
We cater for babies from 3 months up to children of school age and aim to follow the child’s routine when they start coming to our nursery to ensure the transition is easier. We understand that every child is different, so work on settling in children on an individual needs’ basis. We have circle time twice a day, where we all sit together. This allows the children the opportunity to tell us all about themselves. We have two Spanish lessons a day one in the morning and one in the afternoon, this gives all the children the opportunity to learn.
Our children are served seasonal healthy food which has been made by our own on-site chef. The children have two healthy snacks a day 10am and 2pm and we provide the children with a hearty lunch at 12pm and light bites for tea at 4pm.

Our small class sizes allow us to know each girl as an individual, to grow with her on her educational journey, crafting a school experience so that she is not only able to discover her talents but more importantly – use them to the full!
Thornton College offers outstanding music, drama, arts, sports and science facilities alongside dedicated teaching for all ages and all subjects.
The latest ISI (Independent School Inspectorate) Inspection in October 2022 rated Thornton College 'Excellent' in all areas - the highest possible grading.
