From the The Village Nursery
Thanks for visiting The Barnes Village Nursery.
We have been a part of the Barnes neighborhood's Green and Pond for more than 40 years.
Our pre-school students, who may enrol as young as two years old, will receive high-quality care and instruction.
We feel passionately that each child is an individual, who needs a unique approach, so we purposefully have chosen to adopt a variety of child-care philosophies rather than rigidly stick with one.
We strongly believe that children need both mental and physical stimulation, and we consider ourselves extremely fortunate to be located on a green space where we can go for walks, engage in bark rubbing, and go on bear hunts (!). Our outdoor space serves as an extended classroom where the kids can improve their motor skills, strength, and coordination.
We adhere to the government's 7 areas of learning and the Early Years Foundation Stage criteria, and our most recent Ofsted inspection gave us an Outstanding grade.
The abundance of excellent resources and motivating materials creates a vibrant learning atmosphere.
