City of London Nursery

We're on a mission to create a bilingual family vibe for our little language learners. Each child gets not just one but two awesome key people – a primary and a secondary – who chat away in both languages all day long. And we keep things interesting! In our adult-led sessions, these teachers take turns leading the way, making sure the kids get an equal dose of structured educational fun in both languages.

Now, you might be wondering if this whole thing fits together. Think of it like solving a puzzle: the child's personality, how much quality time you spend, how consistent you are, when you kick off the language adventure, and all the cool stuff you do at home with apps, games, songs, and media – it all plays a part. Bilinguals, especially those already exposed to multiple languages at home, tend to pick up the second language a bit quicker, but hey, monolinguals can join the language party too!

And here's the kicker – the real proof is in those little brains. There's actual evidence showing that what we're up to gives those tiny minds an awesome workout, helping them grow and develop.

We strongly believe that education should be a dynamic blend, shaped both by the child's interests and autonomy, fostering their individuality, and by adult guidance to introduce new materials, building their knowledge, understanding, and skills.

Our inspiration stems from weaving together the finest pedagogical frameworks globally. We dip into Montessori and take a stroll through High Scope; we explore Reggio alongside Steiner, Te Whariki, and those from East Asia. Recognizing that no single culture holds the exclusive key to education, we draw on the best from each to craft a curriculum that brings out the best for everyone.

We believe that diverse teams deliver dynamism and progression. It's one of the reasons we felt that education needed to draw on the best of what the world has to offer - just as we believe that with diverse sets of people, organisations can engineer the best ideas and ways of working.

All our teachers have Paediatric First Aid and hold some of the highest qualifications in early years teaching from some of the best educational institutes in the world.

Our catering team have devised our approach to food and infant nutrition in line with the guidance set out by the British Nutritional Foundation with specific reference to the Government's Eatwell Guide on delivering a healthy, balanced diet for infants, toddlers and preschoolers.

We take the health and safety of your children very seriously, which is why we use management systems to secure weekly reports on children's attendance and their dietary and allergy needs, direct to our in-house catering teams. All of our chefs are qualified in the culinary arts, have advanced food hygiene training and follow the procedures outlined in the Safer Food Better Business guidance from the Food Standards Agency, so you can rest assured that your children's nutrition is in the best possible hands.

It's not just about what we do for the little ones; let's not overlook the daily hurdles faced by the most crucial people in their world – parents. Parenting is a challenging journey, and the demands are on the rise, often leading some to decide against having children altogether.

We believe it's not fair, and we're here to be more than just a service. We aim to support our working families in being the best parents they can be while excelling in their careers and personal lives. Our goal is to ease the challenges of parenting, making the journey smoother for our amazing parents.
