Early years

For ages 2-5

Welcome

Our preschool welcomes children ages two to five, and provides a warm and supportive environment fuelled by curiosity, creativity and kindness. Our aim is to nurture the roots of a happy childhood and a lifelong love for learning. Together, we create a caring community where every child feels valued, supported, and free to grow at their own pace.

The Joy of Learning

We take pride in maintaining small class sizes where every child is truly seen and supported. Our highly qualified teachers and excellent staff-to-child ratio ensure that each child receives the individual attention they need to thrive.

We follow the Swedish national curriculum, enriched with elements of Montessori pedagogy, Forest School, and play-based learning. This blend encourages curiosity, independence, and the development of both fine and gross motor skills through hands-on exploration and discovery.

For language development, we use the Bornholm Method, a proven approach that builds strong early literacy skills through playful and structured activities.

Children enjoy close and trusting relationships with our staff, who observe, assess, and guide their progress continuously, ensuring that each child’s learning journey is both joyful and meaningful.

London is our classroom

From museums and parks to the River Thames, regular field trips give children hands-on experiences that bring learning to life. Each term, children also work on themed projects, giving them the chance to explore ideas in depth, get creative, and make things with their own hands.

Nurturing the whole child

Caring for both body and mind is equally important. Our chef prepares fresh, healthy meals on-site, and children enjoy plenty of physical activity, music, and movement, all designed to keep them active, happy, and healthy.

Together, these daily experiences support the inner social and emotional growth we value so highly.
