Saint Panteleimon Nursery School, a childcare setting on non-domestic premises in Harrow (HA3 9QN), received a "Good" rating in its latest Ofsted inspection on 8th December 2022. The nursery was established in 2010 and operates term-time only, offering care from 8am to 5pm on weekdays, with a slightly earlier closing time of 4:30pm on Fridays.
It provides a nurturing environment where children form strong bonds with staff through a key-person system. The dedicated staff, including a qualified nursery teacher and professionals with Master's degrees in special education and inclusion, are proactive in supporting children's emotional and developmental needs, especially those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
The setting prioritises community engagement, with children learning about their local area through outings and events, and parents actively involved in sharing their skills and occupations, helping to broaden children's understanding of the world. The curriculum fosters independence, curiosity, and a love for learning, encouraging children to explore, make choices, and develop strong communication skills through engaging activities and storytelling.

Areas to develop
Inclusion & environment
Children with SEND are supported extremely well. Staff work closely with multi-agency professionals to ensure children receive the correct support. Managers and staff access training from outside agencies to meet the needs of all children. Children benefit from targeted one-to-one support, leading to good progress.
Staff support children who speak English as an additional language very well by obtaining key words in their home languages for use during settling-in sessions and valuing these languages in the setting. Staff translate key words and match them to visual aids to help children understand and communicate their wishes, further aided by staff who speak the same home languages. However, occasionally using a home language to support children in the wrong context can cause interference with planned learning.
The nursery provides an exceptionally warm, caring, and stimulating environment where children thrive. The staff are dedicated, patient, and genuinely invested in each child’s happiness and development. Our child has grown in confidence, communication, and independence since joining. The learning activities are creative and engaging, encouraging curiosity and imagination every day. We especially appreciate the excellent communication with parents and the thoughtful updates on progress. The facilities are safe, clean, and beautifully maintained, offering wonderful indoor and outdoor play opportunities. We feel completely at ease knowing our child is in such loving hands — truly an outstanding nursery experience. Special thanks to Andri , Christos and khloe teacher.🥰
Read on GoogleI was highly recommended this nursery from colleagues at work. My son has had a wonderful experience at St Pantelimon. It's a lovely space for my toddler to play and enjoy the garden space. The staff are so lovely and made my son's transition into nursery such a positive experience. He loves going and they have really supported his development since he joined St Panteleimon.
Read on GoogleIt has truly been a fantastic nursery – so loving and welcoming to both children and parents. The staff are so supportive and my child has loved being there and making their first steps into independence. There is a real balance between learning and play – and encouraging the children to grow both socially and academically as well as teaching them core life skills. We would highly recommend it to anyone. Many thanks from the heart for all your hard work, love, dedication and patience to the children When I pick him up, he is always playing happily and has a big smile on his face. We will look back on my sons time at St Panteleimon with fond memories. It’s a warm and loving environment and I think that’s reflected in the way that the kids interact with each other and the staff. I highly recommend it! We feel so lucky to have been able to secure a place and are so grateful to the team at St Panteleimon!
Read on GoogleMy daughter went to this nursery for 2 years, and they provided her with all possible help and care. she is very happy to go to the nursery every day. The staff is very helpful and provides continuous support and evaluation for the child . They provide several strategies for her to progress. The most peaceful feeling is when you send your child to a place where you are sure everyone is going to treat him or her with love and respect Thanks, team spns
Read on GoogleI have had three children attend this nursery school and i would recommend to anyone. They are family run, and they make you feel like part of the family too. The friendly staff create a lovely nurturing environment. They genuinely care for each child, providing personalised attention and fostering a close-knit community where everyone feels valued. All of my children have required additional support with their speech and language and the experienced staff go above and beyond to create individualised plans that address my child's unique challenges, working closely with specialists and dedicating time and patience to boost my children's confidence and communication skills. I really feel like they want the best for all children in their care and will go the extra mile to give them all the support and opportunities possible.
