About this day nursery

The Ohana Centre is a specialist nursery and therapy centre in London, dedicated to supporting autistic children and those with special educational needs, along with their families. Established in 2018 in a newly refurbished Kensington & Chelsea property, the centre offers a unique, combined approach that integrates early education with blended therapy interventions.

They develop individualised plans to foster progress across various developmental domains, including speech, language, physical abilities, sensory processing, and socio-emotional skills, drawing from the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework and expert guidance. The Ohana Centre focuses on child-led play within an adapted sensory curriculum, ensuring that every child receives tailored support to achieve their full potential.

Beyond the day nursery, which caters to children aged 2-5 years, their therapy centre extends support to children from 18 months up to 7 years, offering a range of evidence-based, naturalistic, and holistic therapies such as speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, art therapy, music therapy, and play-based therapy.

Both of my sons attended Ohana, and it was massively a game changer for us. The staff are incredibly dedicated and patient, and the manager Alba is passionate about the children she oversees.
