Choosing a Pre-school or Nursery in Prague

The first thing that impresses every parent looking to choose a pre-school or nursery is not what they see but what they hear. The sound of children playing, laughing, being happy, being cared for and above all, that they are in the right place. 

The Pre-school and nursery sector of education in Prague offers a lot of choice but there are very noticeable and discerning differences when it comes to choosing the right one that doesn’t just mean a place for a child to be occupied but to be really nurtured.

The name of the sector itself is a tell tale sign.  A kindergarten is often a place, not always connected to the next stage of school formally.  A pre-school and nursery are very different and are linked to preparing children for the social and education step up of going into primary school to make the best start. All our children are confident and school ready when they leave Early Years. 

The popularity and evidence of an all through model of education linking a pre-school to a primary to a secondary school to a high school, under the same brand, offering both Czech, English and high standards of national and international levels of professional care and education, is not that easy to find. PHBS Prague is such a place.

Perrott Hill as a name and brand of education is 80 years old this June and in Prague, those experiences, traditions, values, duty of care, professionalism and high quality education in our sister British school in Somerset UK, underpin our own Early Years School. 

Parents need to be confident in their choice of their very first school for their child, that they will be giving the right start from the very beginning. PHBS Prague knows how important this trust is and it is what our philosophy is about when it comes to early years education.

One of the first things visitors notice about our Early Years campus is the space. Surrounded by trees, green areas, lots of outside play areas,.and a purpose built school campus for young children starting their school journey. We are not crowded into an old building in a very urban area full of cars.  We believe the environment to nurture young minds is essential in our early years model.

PHBS Prague not only is regulated by the Czech ministry of education but we are also accredited by the highest international standards through BSO inspection.  This means everything from safety of the campus to the safe hire of professional and qualified staff, is rigorously tested to provide a high quality early years school.

We believe passionately in the right people in front of the children. For PHBS Prague, this is essential and we have an incredible team of UK, international and Czech teachers and teaching assistants, caring and nurturing our young students, all ably led and supported by our experienced head of school, Mrs. Radka. 

The atmosphere is one of a family and all our staff are dedicated to caring for children daily.  This community and home-school partnership is what our parents value the most. This is what parents are looking for when they choose. 

They know their most precious thing, their child, is being cared for and growing under the care and guidance of our team. With our community of children from Czechia and internationally, all children are educated, learn, and play in this unique local and global environment.

The best part, and what all parents want for their child, is the incredible range of opportunities, events, activities and programmes, celebrating Czech, European and global culture, every day. This is about expanding young minds, instilling confidence, broadening horizons and developing the curiosity and wonder of learning and the wider World that children carry with them into school and life. 

At PHBS Prague, our children regularly experience workshops, field trips, cultural events, fun events, parties, celebrations of the Czech and global calendar as part of their everyday learning. We value learning outside of the classroom as much as inside the classroom. 

When parents choose a pre-school or nursery, they are making the most important choice and most valuable investment with their most precious possession. At PHBS Prague, we not only understand this, we make sure we give every young child the best launch into school with the care and nurture that are central to our values. Every day, we welcome parents to come and see why they should choose us for their child and become part of the PHBS Prague family.
