A Nursery with a difference
At Bassett House Nursery, we offer families and children aged 2 – 4 a nurturing environment to begin their magical journey towards school.
Our Nursery is located at 73 St Helen’s Gardens, in the heart of Notting Hill, and offers specially designed play spaces and outdoor areas to make everyday an adventure.
Specialists in EYFS
We believe the key to successful development in the early years is by helping children discover new ideas and skills through curiosity, play and exploration. Our aim is to nurture and guide their steps through this process from the very beginning of their time with us.
Our approach blends elements of Montessori with curated learning experiences, allowing children to learn through both independent discovery and guided activities – helping to develop their confidence, curiosity and essential skills.
Each day at our Nursery is an adventure, with a rich mix of indoor and outdoor experiences, where play and learning are seamlessly woven together to help build important social and emotional foundations, discover new interests and celebrate achievements.
Above all, we want every child to feel part of our family and to enjoy their time at Nursery.
