What makes us different?

We bring modern education to your doorstep with highly qualified staff, generous adult:child ratios and a professional approach.

Positive behaviour

Positive behaviour

We firmly believe in positivity and this starts from day 1. Your baby thrives on smiles and it is important they feel that they are in a room full of happy people.

As they grow, we expect some pushing back, but we use positivity and distraction to encourage persistent good behaviours.

When your child leaves the Nest they will be ready to take on everything that school brings, being independent, confident and able to think for themselves.

Skilled educators

Skilled educators

We value education and have a highly-trained team, as we recognise the correlation between children’s attainment and the understanding, engagement and skill of the practitioner.

Every interaction is a learning opportunity, but these can so easily be missed if your child’s carer doesn’t identify it or doesn’t have the skill to build on it.

Our staff challenge each other to be better each day and we train regularly to stay on top of developments in our field.

Climbing

Safety first

Safety first

We provide a high level of training for our staff and no staff member handles food without allergy, anaphylaxis and food hygiene training. We are also a nut-free nursery.

Every worker is First Aid trained and we hold the Millie’s Mark which shows our commitment to going beyond what is required.

Our Health & Safety/Risk assessment are reviewed by Citation, an independent consultant.

The Learning Journey

Nursery Pedagogy

Learning and development is an every day activity at nursery, with traditional subjects becoming more important as they approach school.

The early years is about helping your child build strong foundations for learning and not learning the alphabet quickly.

A confident child with great communication skills and a lust for learning, will find future education much more enjoyable; so we see it as our role to provide this strong start.

Nutritious Food

Food and mealtimes are important to everyone. There is a known link between families talking over dinner and vocabulary expansion.

We want children to understand food, where it comes from and how it reaches the plate.

We have gained awards for our commitment to health and nutrition.

Learning Outdoors

Our gardens provide children with easy access to the outdoors, which is an important part of our healthy philosophy.

We encourage physical activity in the fresh air and create fun opportunities for exploration and imagination.

This happens every day, even when it’s raining or cold. “There is no bad weather, only inappropriate clothing”.

Making things easier for your family

We created the Nest to be an understanding partner in childcare, meaning that we grasp the realities of London-life and we aim to create little perks that we hope make a big difference to you.
