A New Space, The Same Heart
We’re Moving to Our Beautiful New Edgware Location This September!
We’ll Keep You Updated Every Step of the Way with Maps, Directions, & Timelines So You Feel Confident, Informed, & Completely Supported.
We’re Staying Connected Because You Deserve to Know
This is a move, not a closure—and you’ll never be left in the dark. We’re committed to transparent, regular updates and open conversations. Our team, quality, and care remain the same; only our space is changing, not our promise to your child and family.
A Move That Brings More Without Adding Time
Our new home at 389 Burnt Oak Broadway is only a few minutes from our current site at St. Margaret’s Parish Hall by car, bus, or foot. You’ll still enjoy the familiar drop-off rhythm, now with added conveniences like easier parking, upgraded facilities, and double the outdoor space. The move may be small in distance—but it’s a big step forward in what we can offer your child.
Baby Rooms: Where Comfort Meets Early Curiosity
Our new baby rooms are calm, cosy, and designed for sensory exploration and safe discovery. With dedicated sleeping areas, sensory tables, soft corners, and caring mealtime spaces, we support every milestone from crawling to first words, all in an environment that feels as nurturing as home.
Toddler Rooms: Encouraging One “Me Do It” at a Time
Our new toddler room celebrates movement, choice, and discovery. With hands-on play zones, art stations, messy play, and low-level tables, your child gains confidence and independence through everyday moments. Designed to support self-help skills and sensory development, it’s where toddlers take big steps at their own pace.
Preschool Rooms: Where Big Thinking Begins
Our new preschool classrooms are arranged into learning areas encouraging creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking. Children explore math, literacy, culture, and science in spaces designed for movement, collaboration, and reflection—complete with library corners, arts and crafts, sensorial materials, and a gathering space that brings it all together.
An Enhanced Outdoor Space Sparks Growth
Experience learning that lives beyond the typical classroom walls. Our new Edgware location transforms outdoor education into something magical. With nature-inspired play areas, sensory-rich spaces, and purpose-built outdoor classrooms, children build confidence, creativity, and real-world skills while being free to move, explore, and thrive in nature.
