The Setting
Our nursery is located within Whitefield School and we are just a few minutes’ walk from Brent Cross Shopping Centre and Brent Cross underground station.
We are very fortunate to have a large outdoor space, with different marked areas to include a climbing frame, toy houses for imaginary play, a separate area for trikes, bikes and wheelie toys, mud kitchen and a digging & growing area for the young horticulturists. This outdoor classroom helps to stimulate curiosity in the children and help them develop in all the 7 areas of learning.
