Welcome to our Family
It’s not always easy choosing a nursery. Entrusting your child to someone else’s care is a big decision. So we’re keen to give you the clearest picture of what everyone here at Acorn Nursery is all about. We want you to have all the information you need to make the right decision for your child and for you.
The Acorn Nursery School welcomes children from 2 ½ to 5 years old. We aim to create a ‘home away from home’ for our community of children, parents and staff; a secure and nurturing environment, full of warmth and happiness, in which children can flourish, extend themselves and enjoy a wonderfully positive school experience. Natural curiosity and a desire to learn are fostered and encouraged through creative and stimulating activities and each child is allowed to develop at his/her own pace so that individual strengths and talents may be extended.
During these vital years, we aim to promote independence, confidence, motivation and consideration for others, and to provide a sound grounding from which children may meet the challenges of the next stage of their school career.
Our Story
The Acorn Nursery was founded in 1977 and is housed in a large Victorian property overlooking the church and grounds of St John’s. We have been located in the Notting Hill area for many years and moved to our current premises in 1992. The nursery occupies the former parish rooms on the ground and basement floors. We have two large classrooms, two smaller teaching rooms and a private outside space bordering the beautiful Lansdowne Crescent communal gardens, which gives us the opportunity to venture outside to play and spend time in the fresh air.
