The Rocking Horse Nursery

The Rocking Horse Nursery The Rocking Horse, established in 1989, is a single, family owned nursery in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. The nursery benefits from a consistent loyal team.

Set in a family home, the nursery is a carefully developed environment, which nurtures each child in the transition from home to school life. The nursery practices a mix of Montessori and traditional nursery methods. The owners and the fully qualified staff team ensure that the very high standards that were established at the outset and are subject to regular review and enhancement. Meticulous records are kept to ensure every child develops at an individual pace, which enables them to reach their true potential; encouraging each child's talents and abilities. The high ratio of staff to children ensures every child receives the appropriate level of one-to-one attention. The reputation of the school is built upon the high standards of child care championed by its founding staff. The Rocking Horse was finalist for 'Best Nursery' in the National Nursery awards in 1997 and in 2011 Mrs Pridmore was short listed for a NMT Lifetime Achievement Award for her outstanding contribution to nursery education.

Our brilliant Mrs Pridmore retired this week after an incredible 36 years working at The Rocking Horse.
It is hard to imagine just how many families and children have experienced her kindness and excellent early years teaching over those years.
We have had several events to say a fond farewell to this amazing and dedicated teacher including a celebration at the end of the summer term when the whole school community gathered, including children, families, staff, previous RH teachers and her family, to say a huge thank you for all that she has done for the nursery and the children in her care over so many years.
We wish her a very happy and well deserved retirement and look forward to her joining us from time to time.
Mrs Pridmore you are the best and we will all miss you.. xx
