South Acton Childrens Centre

About this day nursery

South Acton Children's Centre, located in London, W3 8RX, is an outstanding nursery that registered in 2005. It operates as a full-day care facility from 8 am to 6 pm, 51 weeks a year, and provides exceptional care for children aged 0 to 4.

With a team of 34 dedicated staff, many possessing qualified teacher status and other Level 6 qualifications, the day nursery ensures a high standard of education and support. The centre's commitment to individualised care is evident in its low staff turnover, allowing children to maintain consistent key persons.

Home visits before children start foster strong bonds, helping them feel secure. The highly ambitious curriculum focuses on personal, social, and emotional development, even in the under-twos room.

The day nursery provides funding for two, three, and four-year-old children, making quality childcare accessible. All children, including those with SEND and EAL, make outstanding progress thanks to the highly reflective and thoughtful staff who tailor support to address any learning gaps.

The setting's emphasis on creative learning, such as through emotion stations, music projects, and engaging storytelling, ensures children are immersed in activities that capture their interest and foster impressive concentration and communication skills. The strong parent partnerships, facilitated by electronic communication and daily interactions, ensure that parents are equally delighted with their children's progress and the setting's provision.
