Our son started in April & I cannot speak highly enough about them & how he has thrived under their care. The range of activities they do every day is extraordinary; this week alone they made a volcano out of plaster of paris, painted it & showed the kids a 30 seconds video of a volcano exploding to engage them in the activity. The kids are constantly baking, gardening & learning. The 1 thing that struck us when looking for a nursery was that this is a Montessori learning environment, which is very different to daycare. There are a number of places that offer daycare, which is essentially what it says on the tin. They keep children safe whilst parents work, usually offering long day options. This is very different, as the children are learning constantly & their fine motor skill & speech are improving through engaging, interactive activities. Our son cries on the weekends when he doesn't go; that says it all. We can't even walk past the school on weekends, as he's desperate to go in. He loves it so much, we would nearly have another child to let them raise him or her. The teachers are outstanding & it is a joy to see Luca bursting out of his buggy to get in the door as quickly as possible every day, without so much as a glance back. If anything he cries more when he has to come home & has never cried once going there... we try not to take it personally, lol.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at The Square Nursery School. The team are incredibly caring, supportive, and dedicated, and they’ve created such a nurturing environment where children can truly thrive. Our son Oliver has absolutely loved his time here – he’s grown in confidence, made wonderful friendships, and learned so much through play and discovery. The staff know each child so well and always go above and beyond to make them feel safe, valued, and happy. We’re so grateful for the love and attention shown to Oliver, and we will really miss being part of this wonderful community. Highly recommended to any family looking for a warm, welcoming, and inspiring nursery.

The best nursery without a doubt. We moved from Japan to London last autumn, and at first, my son seemed confused and overwhelmed when people spoke to him in English, which he didn’t understand at all. We visited about eight nurseries before deciding, and from the moment we stepped into Square Nursery, we knew it was different from all the others. The teachers kindly answered every question we had, and the overall atmosphere was simply wonderful. We felt this was the right place—and it truly was. When he first joined, our son cried at drop-off only for the first few days. Soon after, he grew to absolutely love the teachers. Every morning, he would happily climb into his buggy and head off to nursery with a big smile. Though he started with zero English, he quickly picked it up—singing English songs at home, proudly reciting the days of the week, and joyfully chatting with people, even strangers. Locals have commented, “How old is your son? He speaks so well!” The curriculum is also fantastic. He’s learned cooking through fun cooking classes and now loves to pretend-cook at home. Hatching duck eggs was a once-in-a-lifetime experience we never expected him to have at such a young age. The warm words I received from the teachers will stay with me forever.They always find good point of my son and told it for me. Parenting in a new country can be exhausting, but the thoughtful and caring feedback I received about how my son was doing gave me strength and joy. Every drop-off and pick-up was filled with cheerful greetings and warm conversations with the energetic staff, which even made me feel uplifted as a parent. I’m deeply grateful that during this precious early stage of his life, my son was surrounded by so much genuine love from his teachers. The fact that he still celebrates his teacher’s birthday at home—even when it isn’t actually their birthday—shows just how happy and cherished he feels there. Just yesterday, he asked me, “Can I give my water bottle to Tia as a present?” Our experience at Square Nursery will be an unforgettable part of our family’s time in London. The professionalism and heartfelt care of the teachers are truly one of a kind. If you’re considering this nursery, I wholeheartedly recommend it. Thank you so much Zoey,Christie,Tia!

Sending my daughter to the Square Nursery School was one of the best decisions we made for her learning, development, and fun! This environment became a second home for her, where the teachers genuinely cared. She was always engaged in a variety of well-thought-out activities, including cooking, forest school, paddling pool days, and learning Spanish. The experienced teachers consistently went the extra mile to provide wonderful experiences for the children while building strong relationships with their families. The regular, age-appropriate outings always left my daughter excited to share the fun she had. At the end of each day, the teachers would take a few minutes to update us on how her day went, keeping us involved in her daily experiences. Thanks to the love, care, and effort we received at the Square, my daughter was more than ready to attend primary school. She made wonderful friends and memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you!

I sent both my kids to The Square School and it was the best decision as far as nurseries. The teachers are absolutely wonderful, I felt very comfortable leaving my kids in their hands. Both kids loved their nurseries, they developed academically and socially so well, and left fully prepared for primary school, where the transition was seamless. The teachers at The Square School are great at working on individual needs of each child, and we were able to easily overcome some developmental hurdles with their help. The facilities are bright and cheerful, with lots of educational and fun activities! I'm forever thankful to the staff there for taking such good care of my kids.
