From the Miss Delaney's Nursery School
In St Jamess Gardens, Holland Park, London W11, Miss Delaneys first opened her doors in 1996. Five years later, we opened Miss Delaney's Too in W11 as our sister institution. We are a neighbourhood independent nursery school serving kids from 2 to 5 years old. Twenty years later, we combined both of our modest schools into a stunning standalone home near Clarendon Cross, at the entrance to Avondale Park W11. It has its own private, safe yard and has been intentionally renovated to cater to the needs of the young children. Our primary goal is to provide an environment at school where children can grow at their own pace while being guided by our PGCE/QTS/NNEB/MONTESSORI and NVQ staff members. The classes are split into two year groups and the kids attend either morning or afternoon classes. We have three Duck classrooms on the first level for our kids who are 3 to growing 5 years old, and two Duckling lessons on the ground floor for kids who are 2 to 3 years old. Please call Mrs. Clare Frost, our school secretary, at 0207 603 6095 if you have any questions or would like to request a nursery prospectus.
