It all starts with MSJ Minis
At MSJ Minis every day is a Mini adventure!
From Woodland School playing in the mud kitchen, to beach trips playing in the sand, your daughter will be inspired and nurtured from her very first day. We welcome girls from age 3 and MSJ offers a bespoke learning environment for our nursery and reception classes.
Your daughter will flourish within a purpose-built space with a home-from-home feel. Our Mighty Minis space was planned by an interior designer and provides a happy hideaway of creativity and calm, with dedicated areas for role play, creative mark making and free play.
Mighty Minis Nursery
Minis Parent
“As a parent of two girls at MSJ, one who started her journey from the beginning and one who joined later on in her school life, I can really appreciate the benefits of starting in reception.
Both of my girls love MSJ and are doing well but the opportunities that my youngest has been offered are amazing. My youngest daughter has such solid foundations not only in academics but also socially.
The kindness and nurture shown by all of the staff towards the girls is incredible. MSJ feels like one big family and we are proud to be a part of it.”

By offering an all-girls’ setting right from the very start, your daughter can be herself and explore her interests and realise her academic potential free from limitations: no stereotypes, no limits, just girls. She will be totally immersed in a positive, happy and friendly environment, full of enthusiastic girls with a passion for learning.
Girls in our nursery have access to a wide range of our Senior School facilities including a multi-sports centre and large-heated swimming pool. She will benefit from expert teachers who are committed to delivering a unique experience for young, enquiring minds. She will see the older girls as role-models, inspiring her to think bigger and realise that anything is possible!
Your daughter will have continuity of education to form meaningful, trusting relationships with her dedicated teachers who will fully support her during these fundamental EYFS years.

Small class sizes and high teacher to pupil ratios enables us to give her the attention and support she will need to thrive. Every moment is an opportunity to capture your daughter’s imagination and foster a love of learning to last her a lifetime.
At MSJ Minis we lay the foundations to support the building blocks of your daughter’s learning journey. She will be encouraged to be independent, learn to take measured risks and be given the confidence to embrace it all. It is so important to get it right from the start, so let us begin this adventure together.
