City of London Nursery School
Our nursery in barbican is adjacent to the bustling heart of Bank, Moorgate and the City of London.
August and historic surroundings for our children at the gates of the Ironmongers Hall, where our nursery in the city of London is situated.
Introducing children to life in the City
City of London Nursery & Preschool
Our City of London nursery and preschool is located on the grounds of the illustrious Ironmongers Hall, home to the Ironmongers Company. With the crest of the Ironmongers being that of a smoking salamander, and our own being that of the Dragon, it couldn't have been a better fit. We relocated to the Hall in 2018, having outgrown our first home at Jewin Chapel on Fann Street, and have doubled our capacity since. Our nursery in barbican offers 60 places for the children of working, professional parents across the City of London. We work in partnership with a number of multinationals to provide Workplace Nursery Scheme benefits to their staff. With a dedicated baby room facility, the school is a 4 minutes walk from Barbican underground station, 5 minutes from St Paul's station, 10 minutes from Moorgate, and 12 minutes walk from Bank station. It lies just south of the residential districts of Angel Islington, Clerkenwell, Canonbury, Old Street, Shoreditch and Hoxton.
Being so central affords us cultural learning opportunities that other nurseries cannot provide: visits to Tate Modern; sound baths from the London Symphony Orchestra at St Luke's; matinees at the Barbican Centre; historic tours of St Paul's Cathedral. If that sounds like something you'd like your child to get instead of just the local park, get in touch today with our nursery in city of London!

Our Promise to You
Child-Centred Childcare
We make our days as action-packed as possible and believe that nurseries should not be closed shops. We want our children to know and understand the community they are in, the wonderful cultural experiences they can have in the wider community and the learning they can achieve within the school. All of this is delivered by a fully qualified and caring educational team.
