Explore Our Exceptional Independent Nursery & Pre-School
If you’re looking for an excellent private nursery and pre-school in Nottingham for your daughter, NGHS is the perfect environment for her to be nurtured, entertained and educated. With state-of-the-art facilities, specialist teaching staff, and an outstanding curriculum, she’ll thrive in our girl-focused independent setting, be guided to become confident, curious, and creative, and above all ready for school when the time comes.
Here at Nottingham Girls Nursery and Pre-School, we understand the needs of every girl and empower all our pupils to excel academically and grow personally. We specialise in girls’ education and, therefore, are able to offer your daughter what other private nurseries can’t!
We’re proud to be the only private girls-only nursery and pre-school in Nottinghamshire, with 150 years of experience teaching girls. We’re committed to breaking the stereotypes surrounding single-sex education and believe that an all-female environment strengthens focus, boosts confidence, and encourages girls to break boundaries.
“Our daughter has been so kindly welcomed into the junior school. She loves it and speaks proudly of her place there – and we understand why – so much close attention from all her teachers, and so many creative play and learning activities, with something new and exciting every day. As well as great support and direction for us as parents – Thank you!”

Music
It’s hard to describe how magical the Music of NGHS is. It thrives and lives throughout every corner of the school. Girls play, sing, listen and enjoy all the time. It inspires them, develops them, supports their wellbeing and builds their confidence in a very powerful way.

From their very first year, our girls perform in our state of the art Squire Performing Arts Centre. By the time they leave school, standing in front of an audience is second nature.
