With options including breakfast club and after school care, our Nursery operates Monday to Friday from 7.30am-6pm, we offer term time and 'all year' places (50 weeks of the year - we are closed over Christmas and the last week in August.
We also offer half-day sessions: morning or afternoon session.

Until January 2026, children meeting the age criteria for Early Years Education Entitlement will be able to claim 15 hours per week, during term time only. From 1 January 2026, RHB will no longer participate in this scheme.
Join our Prep School
We welcome girls throughout the academic year and always encourage parents to visit us where possible. Your daughter will attend an invigorating taster day where she'll join her class in specialist lessons, enjoy a delicious hot lunch and be assessed in English and Mathematics.Â
The taster day will fully immerse your daughter in her school routine and give her a feel for what it is like to be at School here. If attending a taster day is problematic, we'll contact your daughter’s current school and ask them to administer assessments on our behalf and provide a report on academic attainment.
