Nursery (Age 2-4)
Our Little Vines Nursery is situated in the most beautiful setting in East Sussex. Our last Inspection report found us OUTSTANDING in ALL areas.
From September 2023 Little Vines Nursery will be open for 50 weeks of the year from 8am to 5.30pm (includes wrap around care.)
We are attached to the Pre-Prep building and offer a nurturing, stimulating and challenging environment for children aged 2-4 years and are very much part of the wider school community.
Our aim is to provide our youngest children with rich opportunities to enable them to build strong foundations. These are based around the Early Years Foundation Stage and focus on social and emotional development, language and communication as well as physical skills. We value the importance of our children having a voice and will teach them “twenty-first century skills” to enable them to grow and become unique, strong and independent young people.
We pride ourselves in ensuring the highest level of provision and within the Little Vines team we have two qualified teachers who work with, and are supported by, the most inspiring, dedicated and nurturing Early Years practitioners. Alongside this team we have specialist subject teachers who provide weekly gym, music, French, swimming, balance bikes and gardening lessons.
We strive to ensure we have excellent partnerships with our families and offer an open-door policy. Our aim is to work together to ensure the best outcomes for every child. Our children’s emotional wellbeing is paramount, as without this they cannot learn. We teach and support this process by introducing our Pre-Prep Pals, which are the Vinehall School’s behaviours for learning. These Pals, in the form of puppets, are introduced from the first day and teach our youngest members to be resilient, curious, take risks and be critical thinkers.
No day is never the same and we are led by our children’s interests. Through their play, children will gain confidence as they explore, set their own goals and solve problems. Our skilled team will observe and spend time getting to know each child and provide a rich learning environment in which each child can play and explore, actively learn as well as being able to think creatively and critically.
Above all, Little Vines is a very happy, fun and extremely nurturing setting where each child can thrive in an environment that supports their uniqueness and individual development needs.

Our latest reviews
"The teachers and support staff are all absolutely excellent at providing a stimulating learning environment that is safe, secure and exciting for our 26 month old daughter. She has progressed significantly since starting nursery 3 days a week and is now positively approaching all the varied experiences that Vinehall organise.
Our daughter has a milk allergy and yet the catering department ensures that she receives a dairy free lunch to enjoy after all the exhausting activities! Overall I would rate Little Vines Nursery as outstanding and the best possible start to nursery school."
