St. John's Nursery Group & Forest School
Quality early years education setting in Redhill, for children ages 2-5.
Following the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, we offer high quality care for each child. Our ethos is based on the understanding that children are their own educators – natural learners with ability, curiosity and imagination. We believe each child deserves the best possible start in life, with the right support to help them to fulfil their potential.
Located in the heart of Redhill, Surrey, St. John’s Nursery provides a warm, nurturing environment where every child is encouraged to explore, imagine, and grow. Our Forest School programme extends that ethos into the natural world — giving children the freedom to learn through play, discovery, and adventure.

Forest School
We recognise the importance of outdoor learning and the impact it has on early years development. We have a 1000 sqft garden, spend lots of time outdoors, and run Forest School sessions.
Learning through Play
Following the Early Years Foundation Stage, the children learn in a caring environment, through play. This helps them with routines, physical and mental development, and getting them ready for school.
