Preschool vs. Nursery School?

Question

What is the difference between preschool and Nursery School?

Answer 1

We' re moving to the UK soon from the US and I've noticed in looking for schools over there that they call "nusery school" what I'm used to calling "pre-school" , so maybe it's just different in different countries, but I think they both refer to school for 3-4 year olds.

Answer 2

preschool is more of a preperation towards "school" they teach them depending on there age. its basicly school but just for there level

and a nursery is a place where they would take care of babies more than a 4 year old so what im saying here is a nursery is somewhere i would put a 6-24 month old and a preschool i would put from any age of 2-5

Answer 3

It's the same thing - a school.  It's called a nursery school outside of the U.S.

Answer 4

They are usually the same thing-programs for 3 and 4 year old children(and sometimes 2's). As a practical matter, most Nursery Schools are part-time while Preschool could be anything from a couple of days a week to full time.
