A Journey of Excellence in Early Years Education

Wimbledon Nursery and Pre-School, established in 2009 by Kevin and Galyna, was born from a desire for more than just childcare. Dissatisfied with the limited options available, they envisioned a nurturing and stimulating environment where children could learn, grow, and thrive. This passion has driven Wimbledon to become a leading provider of early years education, helping countless children get the best start in life.

The WillowsWay® Difference

Our unique approach, the WillowsWay®, embraces a love for early childhood education and the latest advancements in the field. It fosters an environment where children flourish, nurtured by our highly qualified staff who provide individualized attention and care. We believe every child is special and deserves respect as an individual.

A Legacy of Success

Wimbledon Nursery and Pre-School has earned a reputation for excellence, evident in our children’s success in entrance exams for prestigious local schools. This achievement reflects our commitment to supporting each child’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development, ensuring they reach their full potential.

Award-Winning Excellence

2022 marked a double celebration. Not only did our children achieve outstanding results in school placements, but our Head Chef Beverley led Willows to become the first nursery nationwide to achieve the Early Years Nutrition Partnership ADVANCED Certification. We remain one of just two settings in London honoured with the SPECIALIST Certification for exceptional meals.

Chris

Position: Deputy Principal

Post Graduate Cert in Education (PGCE), & BA Hons in Animation

A former primary school teacher and graphic designer.

Supported, by my gang of phonics puppets, to cement their early understanding of the Department for Education’s, “Letters and sounds scheme”, I persist in giving your child the support they need for this special transition.
Introducing a detailed expansion of the ”Understanding of the world” area, and implementing Science experiments galore, I strive to both fascinate and enrich my student’s minds, playing on their natural curiosity!

Be warned… I really get into character, through all areas and have a dressing-up bag, full of character costumes to address all topics!

Best book read: George’s Marvelous Medicine by Roald Dahl

My son has been at Willows for five months and I couldn’t be happier with our choice of nursery. The staff are wonderful and so caring, and you can tell the children absolutely adore them! I can’t get over how much he is learning and how well the activities are planned, as well as how the staff pay attention to his particular interests. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a nursery.

I have my two kids growing up at Willows Wimbledon. It is a very unique nursery with nursery-school quality of teaching and day-care time. It works very well for both children and parents. Thanks to the all the teachers my elder one did splendid job on all London top school assessments just after Covid time. The best about the nursery is that the children even didn’t feel they were learning so much on a daily basis. Happy children, happy family. Highly recommend.

My son had a such a great time in Willows. He learnt a lot before prep school even starts. He is way ahead of his peers thanks to the amazing teachers.

Our three year old son attends Willows Nursery Wimbledon and we have been very pleased with it. From the manager to all the staff are showing an active interest in the children, take good care of them and arrange some excellent activities both internally as well as visits to local parks, libraries, even museums in London. At a time when many nurseries are facing severe challenges with recruiting and retaining staff, we feel that everyone at Willows is doing an excellent job.
