Welcome to Little Downsend, where we blend an innovative outlook with a warm, caring, family-oriented feel. We care for children from the ages of two to six in our schools in Ashtead, Epsom, and Leatherhead.

Each Little Downsend is led by Vanessa Conlan, who instills the same nurture, innovation, and high standards in each school, supported by experienced and passionate teachers.

All around us at Little Downsend, children are happily settling into school life and starting to explore their exciting surroundings with great delight. Whatever age your child joins us, they and you, will be welcomed as part of the Downsend community. We pride ourselves on our friendly, family-feel where children feel comfortable and supported.

Alongside this, our children thrive on our problem-solving and thinking-based approach to learning. Their levels of confidence, perseverance, and resilience continue to rise, along with academic achievement, which is a delight to see.

Downsend is a unique group of schools that has an innate creativity and a love of life. We would love to welcome you to each of the schools so we can share our enthusiasm and for you to see the schools at their best – full of life with children playing, laughing, and learning.
