Shaping Global Citizens from the Start
At Hatching Dragons, we believe children are the future – not just of their communities, but of the world. If we want that future to be brighter, fairer and more connected, we must nurture not only the skills children need to thrive, but the values that help them make a positive impact on the world around them.

The Challenge
Our world is more interconnected than ever – yet more divided too. Global issues are now felt at a local level, from social inequality to cultural misunderstandings. We believe education must play a role in changing this.
Policy leaders, from the OECD to the UK Education Committee, agree: our current systems are not equipped to prepare children for the demands of the 21st century. Despite growing awareness, outdated practices persist.
We’re here to offer something different.
Our nurseries in London Fields and across the city provide an early years education model built for today’s global landscape – multicultural, multilingual, and rooted in the values of empathy, curiosity, and connection.

Why Multilingualism Matters
How do we raise children to be confident, creative and compassionate? At Hatching Dragons, we start with language and culture.
Through immersive multilingual education, children build:
- Creativity and fluency in thinking
- Cultural empathy and compassion
- Confidence in communication
- Adaptability and social compatibility
- Critical and analytical thinking
- Focus, concentration and attentiveness
- A sense of personal agency
These are not just academic outcomes – they are the social and cognitive foundations of global citizenship. And they're most powerfully developed when nurtured from the earliest years.

Early Years Matter
Did you know 90% of brain development occurs before the age of five? This “critical period” shapes lifelong skills, values, and potential.
Grounded in research like the Heckman Equation and studies on neuroplasticity, our early years pedagogy is designed to make the most of this vital window. High-quality early education improves academic achievement, social wellbeing, and long-term productivity.
Yet millions of children still miss out.
We’re here to change that – by providing not just a nursery near you, but an environment where cultural capital, creativity, and confidence can grow every day.
Supporting Parents, Too
Parenting today is more demanding than ever. Many families feel pressure to balance career, self-care, and caregiving – sometimes without enough support.
We’re committed to making things easier. Through flexible childcare, transparent guidance on childcare funding, and nurturing environments, our nurseries help parents raise happy, resilient children without sacrificing their own ambitions.
From our weekend schools and holiday clubs to our foundation childcare services, we're here to support your family at every step.
