Nursery Schools

What's the difference between nursery and preschool? 
Preschools usually work around a formal curriculum and trained teachers - making them a little more expensive! Nursery schools are usually a more relaxed learning environment and more flexible enrolment terms. They are also cheaper and vary greatly.

What age is a preschooler? Ages up to 4 is considered preschooler with toddlers are 1 - 3 year old bracket. Basically 4-year-old are not 'toddling' around any more and so are no longer toddlers!

What does preschool mean? A preschool, or nursery school, is a pre-primary school, or play school for early childhood education. Preschool is for children before they begin compulsory education at primary school. 

Is Pre K considered preschool? Pre K schools are pre-kindergartens.

The Carlton Day Nursery, Allestree

10 Maxwell Ave, Derby DE22 1GQ, UK – 01332 366223

Both of my children go to this nursery and have done for the past year. I have never had any problems whist sending my children to this nursery. Both have come on leaps and bounds and are both extremely happy here. All the staff are polite and friendly and are always happy to help. I would strongly recommend this nursery to all my friends and family. I have read recent reviews on this nursery, and I strongly disagree with things people have written, it saddens me to see things like this written as I feel the statements are untrue and written out of spite.

Little Scholars Nursery

12 Wellesley Ave, Derby DE23 1GQ, UK – 01332 271608

My daughter has attended this nursery since the summer, and has loved every single second of it. All the staff are brilliant especially Lucy, reenie always asks for Lucy which makes me feel so comfortable to know that their is someone who she likes to go to. The staff are always honest and easy to talk with and always tell you about your child's day.. the only thing I will say is the tapestry should be more quicker and should tell you what the child has eaten ext so you can check on it yourself.. but other than that, everything is absolutely amazing and my little girl loves it and the food πŸ˜€ X

Such a lovely nursery πŸ˜€ The progress my niece Molly has made since she started is incredible. She looks forward to going every day and doesnt want to leave at the end of the day!! The staff are so lovely and you can tell they all love their jobs. Cant recommend this place enough πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Murray Park Community School

Derby DE3 9LD, UK – 01332 515921

Some good teachers, some bad, but the buildings are falling apart. The ceilings have mold, moss is growing on the inside of the classrooms and cockroaches basicaly account for 90% of the buildings structure. And you would find higher quality food in a north Korean labour camp than you would in the schools cafeteria. Dedicated staff though. Things are getting better though with the new headteacher.

I am a past tear 11 who made some amazing friends and some great enemies. There was a hand full of teachers who was really noce some who didn't care and some who pretend to care The IT block was the best as it provides a safe space for the auiet lile me. Whilst mpst of the other blocls are moulding away

THE TUTORING ROOM - Derby

570 Burton Rd, Derby DE23 6DG, UK – 01332 347771

My daughter really enjoys her 90 minute sessions here and her confidence with Maths has increased greatly as has her ability. I have even asked her if she wants to continue going as she is doing so well and she has insisted that she wants to carry on because 'it is so awesome!' (Her words, not mine!) Ellie is fab and very accommodating, she'll even recommend the odd TV show to you should you require it. All of the teachers are clearly committed and very passionate about what they do and that shows in the progress that my daughter has made and the fact that she doesn't want to stop going. Brilliant investment and one that I don't regret.

My son thoroughly enjoys his English sessions and he has progressed really well which can be seen in his independent writing, I would recommend the Tutoring Room

The Bemrose School

Uttoxeter New Rd, Derby DE22 3HU, UK – 01332 366711

I went to this school in 1960! I was an American and going there because my father (an engineer for Allison Div. of GM) was sent there for a year on a joint development program with Rolls-Royce. I was 16 at the time and noticed that all the 16 year old English lads were a lot smaller than me. The school was strict and formal but had a good curriculum. Since they kept all the windows open at 59 F or 15 C I had to wear scratchy wool underwear to keep warm!

Did an adult learning course in the evening here. Easily accessible and easy to find
