About this day nursery
Christchurch Kindergarten, established in 1970, is a nurturing private nursery dedicated to providing high-quality pre-school education within a secure and caring environment. Their core mission is to support families in their crucial role of raising children, aiming to give each child a "head start in life" by fostering their development and growth.
The kindergarten prides itself on maintaining a family-like atmosphere coupled with consistent professional standards, building upon the care children receive at home to ensure stability and continuity in their educational journey. They deeply value the unique nature of each family and encourage parents to share their child’s needs, interests, learning styles, and what matters most for their ongoing education and care within the kindergarten setting.
A strong emphasis is placed on parental partnerships as a key component to helping children flourish to their full potential. The team is committed to continuous improvement, striving to provide the best possible start in life for every child.
Currently, the Harrow, Queensbury, Gange, and Edgware branches hold a "good" Ofsted rating, with a goal to achieve this standard across all six locations.

We are so grateful for this nursery. They have supported us so much with our child’s development. They always give us detailed information, updates and guidance, and I never feel alone in the process. The staff are caring, patient and genuinely professional. I really appreciate everything they do for us. Truly an amazing nursery — highly recommended!

My daughter started nursery in the summer term of 2025. It took her nearly five weeks to fully settle, but the nursery manager and staff were incredibly supportive throughout the process and did their very best to help her feel safe and comfortable. I find all the staff to be welcoming, approachable, and professional. My daughter is now well settled and always has a smile on her face when she’s there. I’m kept updated throughout the day, and the team contacts me whenever needed. I’m very happy with the care she receives.

Since I've started bringing my son to this nursery he has been more happy and more talkative, he settled in almost instantly even when I expected him to cry, he had no problem seeing me go, the teachers are friendly and very good with the kids and he is always excited to see them, nice classroom with a nice environment in a quiet area, my son has learnt alot in the short time that hes been there and always has a story to tell when I come to collect him. Good nursery, would recommend

My child has been attending this nursery for over two years, and I’m really happy with her progress—especially how much her language skills have improved. She has also developed socially, and I’ve seen great support from both the staff and the Manager. I always feel a warm welcome from everyone. I highly recommend this nursery!
