St Michael's Nursery

About this day nursery

St. Michael's Nursery operates across three locations in London (two in Harlesden and one in Stonebridge), offering a nurturing and secure environment for children to grow and develop. The day nursery caters to a wide age range, with a dedicated baby unit for infants from 3 months old and general care for children from 12 months up to five years.

They are committed to providing high-quality childcare and education, embracing the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework to support each child's individual learning journey. The curriculum focuses on developing independent, inquisitive, and active learners through play-based and sensory experiences, with key persons monitoring progress and incorporating children's interests into educational plans.

The day nursery also emphasises strong partnerships with parents, sharing daily feedback and offering support, and maintains high standards for staff training and safety. St. Michael's promotes outdoor play and exploration, providing a varied environment with equipment that encourages healthy and active lifestyles, and they celebrate children's achievements annually with a graduation ceremony.

Our ethos

At St. Michael’s, we believe that effective learning is achieved in a secure, happy and orderly environment, where children can grow in self-esteem and develop their full potential as human beings. Our mission is to provide families with high-quality childcare and education while embracing the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), and we aim to provide a safe, secure and nurturing home-from-home environment for children to learn and develop at their own pace.
