Miss Perrin has headed up this most recent Miss Daisy’s nursery addition to the chain which is now owned by Duke’s education along with Knightsbridge School, Eaton Square, Kindergarten Nurseries. Unofficial plans to allow children attending Dukes schools to have preference getting places. Officially opened Sept 2019 but was slowed down by Covid. The space is a real asset with charming low-rise buildings split into two classrooms, slightly smaller one for the 3-4 year olds (20 children in a class currently with three teachers) and a larger double classroom for 2-3 years olds (currently two groups of 16 children so total of 32). Building work is lined up to stream line the outside and inside space and increase the space in the older children’s building.
Wonderful grassy space used for forest school complete with bug hotel, wooden seating area, bucket balance and willow tree dome. Two members of staff are forest school trained. Resources inside the classroom favour natural materials and wood and are stimulating and easy on the eye. Well qualified staff with most members having qualifications in early years teaching and at least an NVQ level 3. Busy and calm environment with specialist teachers in bi-lingual beats, yoga, TARKA, little kickers and drama. Interesting mixture of nationalities and backgrounds- some American, a lot of French, some Arabic families. Lots of children going onto Wetherby Notting hill as well as The American School and Queen’s College. Also a sprinkling onto Glendower, Arnold House, Ken Prep and The Hall.
