The most loving and invested team in childcare! Our elder daughter was thoroughly prepared for entering reception at Queen’s Gate and our younger son was taught how to walk, speak and use the potty with the wonderful support and guidance of the team. Leaving their charming community is the worst part of our leaving London, we will miss them all terribly.
