Nursery Schools

What's the difference between nursery and preschool? 
Preschools usually work around a formal curriculum and trained teachers - making them a little more expensive! Nursery schools are usually a more relaxed learning environment and more flexible enrolment terms. They are also cheaper and vary greatly.

What age is a preschooler? Ages up to 4 is considered preschooler with toddlers are 1 - 3 year old bracket. Basically 4-year-old are not 'toddling' around any more and so are no longer toddlers!

What does preschool mean? A preschool, or nursery school, is a pre-primary school, or play school for early childhood education. Preschool is for children before they begin compulsory education at primary school. 

Is Pre K considered preschool? Pre K schools are pre-kindergartens.

Triangle Nursery School

William Bonney Estate, Clapham Cres, London SW4 7JQ, UK – 020 7622 1393

(Parents of Child) Triangle Nursery is a fantastic nursery. A beautiful cabin set in playing fields makes it a perfect setting and the children get to enjoy daily. The staff are incredibly friendly, attentive and always so helpful. All two of our children have come to Triangle and both my daughter and son were so sad to leave this amazing nursery. My youngest started in September 2016 and refused to talk to anyone. The staff were very supportive and within weeks they had encouraged him to talk! Now he won't stop talking to them. This is the best nursery in London!

Triangle Nursery is a very special place, I feel so luck to have found it. My son has thrived during his time here. As both a parent and an educationalist I appreciate the dedication and commitment the staff show to learning but also their kindness and compassion when caring for young children. I highly recommend Triangle it is by far one of the very best nurseries in Lambeth and also Wandsworth.

Notre Dame Roman Catholic Girls' School

118 St George's Rd, London SE1 6EX, UK – 020 7261 1121

this school is great! i had a hard time at another school but this school knows how to treat pupils right and with respect. they always make you do better and the teachers are da best!

Not sure what the previous reviewer was on when writing their comment. Have visited the school many times and the teachers really do care about the education of the students. They really put in time and effort to help these young women achieve their very best, even the more 'disruptive' students. If I had a daughter I would send her here without question. (P.S. It seems a shame that some of the more 'irked' former pupils felt the need to leave negative reviews on here. I'm sure they will see what a positive difference the school made to them when they grow up)

Such a great school the teachers here are so nice and great at there job I love the clean environment and how everyday is different keep up the great work everyone!!!

Westminster’s origins can be traced to a charity school established by the Benedictine monks of Westminster Abbey. Its continuous existence is certain from the early fourteenth century. After the dissolution of the monasteries in 1540, Henry VIII personally ensured the School’s survival by statute. Elizabeth I, confirmed royal patronage in 1560 and is celebrated as the School’s Foundress. For several hundred years the School continued to be joined with Westminster Abbey, forming one collegiate foundation, until the 1868 Public Schools Act gave the School independence. Then, in 1943, the School expanded its educational scope by forming the Under School, educating boys aged 7-11. Initially both sections of the School shared a site, as the Under School began with just 17 boys. However, we experienced fairly rapid growth and by 1950 were educating 80 boys. So, in 1951, we secured our own premises in Eccleston Square. Yet as pupil numbers continued to increase during the sixties and seventies it became apparent that larger premises were required and in 1981 the Under School moved again to its present site overlooking the Westminster playing fields in Vincent Square.

Jessop Primary School

Lowden Rd, Herne Hill, London SE24 0BJ, UK – 020 7274 2333

My kids have attended for several years now. The school is both academically excellent (Ofsted outstanding) and a friendly caring environment. The teachers work very hard providing lots of extra activities, trips and performances. This means the kids have a richer curriculum with swimming and learning musical instruments as well as all the core subjects. Fantastic school!

An amazing primary school. My kids have been there for the last few years and it's just brilliant.

The Poetry School

1, Dock Offices, Surrey Quays Rd, London SE16 2XU, UK – 020 7582 1679

You don't have to be an inexperienced poet or completely new to poetry to benefit from all that the Poetry School has to offer. During the last year I've taken workshops on Visual art, joined an online group reading Auden's The Sea and the Mirror, taken part in a collaborative performance of poems inspired by the Battle of the Somme film and received a detailed evaluation of a collection of poems. I thoroughly recommend the Poetry School if you want to develop as a poet.

I've taken part in both free and paid for courses via The Poetry School, and while it's definitely worth paying for them - you get to meet folk face to face for a start - the quality of teaching is no lesser for being free. This lot care, they choose amazing teachers and if they can get me published then they can get anyone published. What are you waiting for....sign up now.
