Going to Nursery Full Time is not a strategy for 4+ Assessment Success.
/Far too much confusion around this one.
So your child goes to a top Nursery or pre- prep. Perhaps they go to Bright Little Stars or to a Bright Horizons or to a Fountain Montessori. Or perhaps they go to a top pre prep like The Mulberry House School (This is where I worked for 3 years) or to Devonshire House. Please don’t for one moment think that sending your child to Nursery or a pre-prep is a strategy to help to support your child to be offered a place at a top Independent School.
This is not the case.
Now many of you will argue will me and say that you are paying nearly 30k per year to send your child to a top pre-prep so shouldn’t it be their job to prepare your child for their 4+ Assessment?
The answer is a harsh no.
It is not.
That is up to you.
You choose to send your child to a nearly 30k per year pre-prep. That is your choice. That is personal to everyone.
Believe me when I tell you that the majority of my students have a private tutor and attend a top pre-prep. How do I know this? Well, because I am that tutor!
The majority of our students attend top Nurseries or prestigious prep schools. That’s because our clients fully understand that it is up to them to ensure that their child is ready for their 4+ Assessments and not the nursery/pre- prep that they go to.
So when you call me and tell me that your child goes to an exceptional nursery or pre-prep, please remember that this is highly irrelevant and means very little.
Take responsibility for the success of your child.
No one else will ever care as much as you do.
Remember that.
