We at St Matthew's Pre-School have grown to be a popular and friendly group with a strong connection to local First Schools. We have plenty of room for your child to run & play, both inside and outside in our large garden. Our range of activities are designed to encourage children to enjoy learning and to build confidence within themselves.

Garden Cottage Nursery School is an 'Outstanding' (Ofsted) Child Care Setting, nestled in the beautiful South Downs. We are open all year round for children aged 0-5 years old and we are located within the idyllic grounds of Highden Farm Washington. Our children have frequently progressed into Schools located around Ashington,The Vale, Findon, Worthing, Horsham, Storrington, Steyning, West Chiltington, and Shipley.We are very proud that the children get the best possible start to their school life and as Ofsted quoted "the quality of teaching Is exceptional." The children really enjoy caring for the chickens, sheep and donkeys, Red and Wonky. We are so lucky to have a Forest School and Walled Garden where the children grow and eat their own produce.
