About Us

Welcome from the Head of Nursery

Nestled in the Alberts, in the heart of the community in Richmond, at King’s House Nursery you will find an oasis of warmth, laughter and a wealth of resources to inspire little minds and create a love of learning. Children flourish in a safe and nurturing environment, and are proud of our happy and thoughtful children who respect each other and the wonderful surroundings they share.

We are an educational nursery where children are taught and supported by a team of highly experienced staff. They join our Hedgehog Class as rising 3s, and move up to either Squirrels or Rabbits Pre-School Class as rising 4s.

We are delighted that from September 2024 our girls will be able to continue their journey at King’s House, as the School transitions to co-education, and I hope you will visit us to discover more about our Nursery.

We’d love to meet you to show you what life is like in the Nursery. Our experienced staff team help children to become independent, learning key communication skills through a combination of child and adult-led teaching. Specialist teaching from school staff enhances their experience, becoming school-ready by the time they move on to Reception.

Refreshingly normal in this often competitive and frenetic world, King’s House is a successful school with a clear sense of purpose. No hot-house, but a friendly school where happy children do well and with exciting developments in the pipeline.

Amazing staff that truly care about my daughter’s wellbeing and development. I love that my daughter runs to the front door every morning itching to get to nursery. She loves her teachers and enjoys taking part in daily activities like planting sunflowers and dancing and singing to nursery rhymes. King’s House is a happy nursery that nurtures their pupils.
