Nursery Open Morning

Details: We warmly invite you to attend our next Early Years Open Morning (covering Nursery and Reception)

We warmly invite you to attend our next Early Years Open Morning (covering Nursery and Reception) on Saturday, 15th November 2025, 10am – 12pm.

During the morning, you will have the opportunity to discover why our Nursery and Reception settings will provide the perfect first step for your little one. You will also be able to explore the rest of the Prep School and take part in a number of activities throughout the morning.

In between exploring our fantastic Enchanted Garden and on-site facilities, including our swimming pool and sports hall, you will have time to talk to our dedicated team of teachers and staff and view the inspiring educational and co-curricular activities available to your child.

From teacher-led Nursery provision to specialist teachers for swimming, forest school, music and more, we will guide you through our structured early learning programme, which carefully balances continuous provision (play-based learning) with phonics, maths and early writing.

Please contact prepadmissions@truroschool.com if you would like to receive more information about this event and register your interest.
