Why Specialist Teaching Matters, Even in Nursery
Posted: 8th December 2025
At Kew College Prep Nursery in Kew, Richmond, we believe that children deserve rich, inspiring learning experiences from the very start of their education. That’s why, even in our nursery, we offer specialist-taught lessons in music, sport, dance, ICT and French, all adapted for early learners. Children are also immersed in the magic of stories with regular sessions in our library, led by our dedicated librarian.
Specialist teaching in the early years may seem advanced, but it plays a vital role in developing well-rounded, confident children. A music lesson becomes an exercise in rhythm and pattern recognition, early maths in disguise. Dance builds coordination, balance, and body awareness. Sport introduces teamwork, perseverance, and healthy habits. French sparks curiosity about language and culture. ICT involves playing with electronic toys and early hands-on coding with Beebots!
Our specialist teachers bring passion and expertise that children can sense and respond to. Lessons are playful and hands-on, filled with movement, laughter, and discovery. This early exposure not only enriches daily life at our nursery in South West London, but also helps children develop the focus and enthusiasm that carry through to the prep school environment.
As part of our leading prep school, Kew College Prep Nursery provides a seamless link between the early years and later academic success. The confidence a child gains from performing a song, mastering a new skill, or learning their first words in French becomes the foundation for future achievement, in lessons, exams, and life.
The specialist teachers our nursery children meet in their first year, continue to teach them throughout their time at Kew College Prep, meaning that our specialist teachers get to know each individual child and seeing these familiar faces eases the transition to Reception for our youngest pupils.
Specialist teaching helps children see learning as something joyful, creative, and limitless. We invite you to book a visit to Kew College Prep Nursery near Chiswick and experience how our youngest pupils benefit from expert teaching every single day.
