Nursery School Barons Court | Barton Road, W14

Are you looking for a nursery school in Barons Court that can offer your child a safe, nurturing, home from home environment?

My name is Kerry Nihill and I am the Nursery Manger of the two Playdays branches in Barons Court / West Kensington. The 2 branches in West Kensington operate very much as 1 nursery. Our ‘Sunshine’ Baby room and ‘Rainbows’ Toddler room are located in Barton Road. The children then transfer to our Pre-school class in Comeragh Road at around 2.5 years. The same ethos and planning structure remains the same in both nurseries.

I originally joined the company after having completed an NNEB childcare qualification in 1998. My career with Playdays started within the Toddler room caring for children aged 18 months – 2.5 years. I was offered the position of Nursery Manager in 2004 and have assumed that position ever since.

In 2016 both branches were inspected by Ofsted within a couple of months of each other. We achieved the grade of Outstanding in both nurseries. We were all over the moon with the outcome and hope that it shows the dedication we all have for our work.

I have high expectations from my staffing team, they are to be reliable, hard working and have the same vision as me. We are always striving to improve the nursery. I lead by example and offer guidance and support at all times to not only the staff, but to the parents and more importantly the children.

I am very fortunate that many of my team across the two branches have been with the company for a very long time. Some have been here since the nursery opened in 1996!

They are all committed and many longstanding to Playdays just like myself. There is a wealth of qualified and experienced staff for the children to benefit from.

On a personal note, both my children have attended Playdays and have benefitted greatly from the experiences they have gained during their time at the nursery. One of the highlights for my children were the extracurricular classes that Playdays offers such as the music and movement classes!

The strength of my branches are that they are small and intimate and have a warm homely feel to them. Parents choose my branches of Playdays for this reason, the rooms are a calm and welcoming environment for the children to develop and flourish. The children are happy and settled and this is greatly to do with them knowing that they will be greeted each day with familiar friendly faces!
