About our Nursery, Islington
Curriculum
Our child-centred curriculum is inspired by a range of early education theorists, Curiosity Approach, Hygge, and elements of loose parts play and natural resources. We focus on creating an enriching environment where each child’s unique needs are met and they can develop confidence, independence, and essential life skills. Islington Square Day Nursery is the perfect place to help prepare children for school and beyond.


Team
We have a dedicated team of passionate, supportive nursery staff who love what they do and genuinely care about our children. Our teachers understand the importance of early childhood education and work tirelessly to provide the best start for your child, ensuring they have the best opportunities to thrive.
Parent Partnership
We love to share the joy, excitement and sense of wonder children experience at nursery. Parents are kept up-to-date on their child’s development through our Famly app which helps keep you involved in nursery life. Those magical everyday moments are captured through photos which we share to give you a great insight into your little one’s nursery adventures.
Facilities
We’re proud to offer a warm and welcoming environment where children feel secure, supported and ready to learn. Routine plays a vital role in our daily activities, and parents often remark on their children’s happy and calm demeanour, both in person and through leading nursery review website Day Nurseries. Our nursery equips children with essential life skills and builds a strong foundation for their transition into primary school, encouraging confidence, independence and a love for learning.
Playrooms
Our three bright, spacious rooms, a baby room, toddler room and preschool room, have been thoughtfully designed to stimulate curiosity and discovery. These warm, engaging environments are packed with high-quality, age-appropriate resources which keep children engaged and active in their learning. Children also have access to an outdoor decking area where they can enhance their learning through nature and play which is essential for their mental health and physical development.
Outdoor area
Our wonderful outdoor decking space features a play ship, water play, mud kitchen and role-play areas, providing endless opportunities for fun, imaginative play with friends. The nursery garden allows children to engage in hands-on experiences that connect them with nature while nurturing social, physical, and cognitive development.

Activities
Children participate in a wide variety of exciting and creative activities each day which are informed by our bespoke education programmes. From fun and stimulating ways of developing early maths and literacy skills to encouraging children’s speech and language capabilities, these engaging experiences keep our children curious and eager to learn
Community Outings
Our nursery team regularly take children on trips out into the local community including the library, fire station and nearby parks. These create many real-world learning opportunities and special memories for our children whilst also boosting their independence.
