The Acorn Nursery School

Message from Carla Rodrigues, the Head of the Acorn:

“We like to think of the Acorn as a home from home. A safe place where your children can take their first steps into independence; and where you, their parents, can be supremely confident that they are cherished, secure, stimulated and, above all, happy along the way.

Our warm, caring and highly experienced staff understand the importance of nurturing strong roots in the young saplings in their care. Above all else, we encourage self-confidence, problem-solving and a love of learning, as core skills in our pupils. We want our Acorn children to embrace the joy of childhood and we believe these are the foundations of a successful journey through school and beyond. Put simply, we are here to encourage each and every child to be the best they can be in every aspect of their lives, to help them develop a love of learning that will last a lifetime.”

About
The Acorn Nursery School

The Acorn Nursery was founded in 1977 and is housed in a large Victorian property overlooking the church and grounds of St John’s.

We have been located in the Notting Hill area for many years and moved to our current premises in 1992. The nursery occupies the former parish rooms on the ground and basement floors. We have two large classrooms, two smaller teaching rooms and a private outside space bordering the beautiful Lansdowne Crescent communal gardens, which gives us the opportunity to venture outside to play and spend time in the fresh air.

"They are encouraged to explore and question within a framework which promotes creative thinking and independence."

“The Acorn brings the most loving, caring, stimulating and social learning environment for the little ones. The teachers are great and always look for opportunities to boost children’s self-confidence. My son runs to his class with excitement in the mornings and always leaves the Acorn with a huge smile on his face.”
