About the Nursery:

The building that houses our Camden school has a very interesting history. It was formerly a Spiritualist Temple, and its foundation stones were put in place by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. We’ve taken great care to preserve many of its original features, while creating a fantastic school. It's mezzanine floor is devoted to preschoolers, while the ground floor contains two toddler rooms and a dedicated babies room. Its large stained-glass windows provide plenty of light and its Montessori-inspired classrooms are airy, bright and calming. The school is also just a five-minute walk away from a large public park.
