Reviews

It is very rare that you meet someone like Soraia, she is truly a gifted, dedicated and patient Teacher.

The Notting Hill Nursery School is absolutely amazing. My daughter has learned so much, and most importantly, she was made to feel comfortable in her learning environment. The teachers are exceptional, and the learning structure is well thought out. After spending two years at the nursery, my daughter was more than ready for big school (reception at primary school). However, there are some tears from time to time as she misses her wonderful teachers. I reassure her that we can always visit to say hello and let them know how she is getting on.

It was hard for us to say goodbye and prepare for the next chapter, as all the nursery teachers were simply amazing. I hope all our children find the same level of care and love throughout their educational journey as they grow. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone at The Notting Hill Nursery School. I would genuinely recommend this nursery a million per cent.

My son started at the Notting Hill Nursery in September this year and we are very impressed with how much he has learned in this couple of weeks. He is just 2 years old and he keeps surprising us pointing the numbers, letters and saying which one is it, he can also say the name of animals that I never taught him before (he doesn’t watch TV).
The staff are very kind, engaging and professional, the individual attention they give to each child is just beautiful. What we also love about this Nursery is the different activities they do everyday, between cooking, gardening, dance, painting… they manage to develop a personal, social and physical skills in each individual child.
I cannot recommend strongly enough this Nursery. Thank you Miss Soraia, Miss Denise, Miss Maggy and Miss Dani for all your passion towards this little ones and for providing a such welcoming and family environment to our baby.

A fantastic place run by amazing people. Ms Soraia, Ms Denise & the team go extra mile to make sure every child is supported and developed every step of the way. After trying several nurseries, dealing with Ms Soraia and Ms Denise has been an absolute pleasure – they have gone above and beyond to adjust to our requirements and we couldn’t be happier with the way they care for our child.

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Nottinghill Nursery School, all the educators, and especially Miss Soraya and Miss Denise. It has been an immense stroke of luck to be part of your school and have the opportunity to know you. Your exceptional kindness, sensitivity, care, and attention are unparalleled to anything we have experienced in other schools around the world. You are truly the best in every aspect. We desire to be friends with you, learn from you, and be inspired by your energy and kindness. We consider ourselves and our children incredibly fortunate to have found you in such a vast city. Our two daughters are absolutely thrilled with your school, and we wanted to express our heartfelt appreciation for the assistance you provided in preparing our eldest daughter, Melina, for her transition to primary school. Your school has truly captured their hearts, and we are grateful for the support and guidance you have given us during this important time. Thank you so much for everything!

Parent

I wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend Notting Hill Nursery School to other parents – reserve a place for your child as soon as you can! Miss Denise is an excellent Early Years teacher and really works hard to ensure every child makes progress at their own pace. While teaching the children a lot (the EYFS framework is not just covered, it is exceeded), she makes it enjoyable and the children are engaged and enthusiastic in their learning. Most importantly of all for me, the dynamic between the children is very sweet and friendly and is obviously carefully cultivated. Fostering strong social skills and responsibility for others in the children is such a help for them in all environments, not just in nursery and school. I am extremely grateful to all the teachers and assistants at the nursery, they have set my child on a good path, not just for his education but for his life. Thank you!

Curriculum

The curriculum, topics and extra-curricular activities are the same for morning and afternoon sessions. Children attending full days are exposed to different activities and have the opportunity to consolidate learning experiences. We follow The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum. There are seven areas of learning and development that shape educational programmes within Early Years. All areas of learning and development are important and inter-connected. These areas are particularly crucial for igniting children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning and for building their capacity to learn, form relationships, and to grow. The three prime areas are: -Personal, Social and Emotional Development; -Physical Development; -Communication and Language The children are also supported in four specific areas which are: – Literacy; – Mathematics; – Understanding of the world – Expressive Arts and Design.
