About this day nursery

Pippa Pop-ins offers a nurturing nursery experience in London, designed to guide children through their early developmental stages. The day nursery is structured into three academic year groups: Tiddly Pops for two-year-olds, Dragonflies for three-year-olds, and Transition for four-year-olds, ensuring age-appropriate learning in a consistent environment.

The admissions process emphasises a personal visit to the day nursery before registration, allowing families to understand the ethos and educational journey. While a registration fee secures a place on the waiting list, it does not guarantee admission.

Priority for places is given to existing children increasing their sessions, siblings, and those living within the nursery's postcode area, reflecting a community-focused approach. The nursery aims for children to complete their primary education within its system, culminating in the Transition Class, with offers for places primarily sent out in the Autumn term, though Spring and Summer term admissions are possible based on availability.

The nursery is committed to transparency regarding fees and government funding, offering a range of accepted schemes to support families while also providing clarity on optional charges for additional services.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive effective support. Leaders and managers take swift action when delays are identified in children's learning. They observe children to identify strategies for staff to provide individualised support. Leaders and managers liaise with external professionals to obtain any additional help that may benefit children. This means that children are supported to reach their full potential in the nursery.

Outdoor space

The inspector observed the quality of teaching indoors and outdoors to assess the impact of this on children's learning.
