- Henry Prince C.E. School Nursery / PreSchool
- Our school nursery is open every morning from 8.55 to 11.55 am and is free for children who are three to four years old. There is also free transport from villages like Stanton, Ellastone and Wooton. A teacher and a nursery nurse teach the nursery children. They are Ofsted inspected and the June 2013 report rated Early Years teaching (and the school in all areas) as good, saying "As a Church of England school, it provides a clear moral and social code, which values everyone equally. Pupils’ cultural development is promoted well through the use of additional funding to visit places of interest, such as the local farm."
