The Nursery is a self contained but integral part of the British School of Amsterdam. Two nursery classes are accommodated in the Anthonie van Dijckstraat, a third nursery class is located in the Albrecht Durerstraat, just 30 metres from the main building. The Nursery is a bright, caring and stimulating learning environment. There is a child centred approach to learning and the teacher: pupil ratio is high. Children are encouraged to develop their social, emotional, physical and intellectual skills – skills which they will rely on for the rest of their lives, through a carefully structured and varied programme based on the Foundation Stage Curriculum, suitable to their age, ability and needs.

Attendance is flexible to cater for the child’s first experience of school, with a minimum of five sessions per week up to full time attendance of ten sessions. Each session allows opportunities for free play and for working on a directed task as a member of a small group. Children must be toilet trained upon entering the nursery.
