Our Nursery
At Knightsbridge School, we believe that joy is the most important aspect in a child’s first educational experience. As an independent nursery school in London, we welcome our youngest learners into a vibrant, stimulating environment where the transition from home to school is handled with great care.
Beginning in the September after your child’s third birthday, our play-based curriculum is designed to spark curiosity while emphasising social interaction and cognitive development. The school day offers children a range of practical and creative activities to develop around four specific areas: Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World, and Expressive Arts and Design, providing the foundation for future learning.

Why Choose Knightsbridge for Nursery?
We focus on learning through play, allowing each child to explore and learn at their own pace and fostering a genuine love of learning. Our curriculum is tailored to meet each child’s individual needs, promoting continuous growth in literacy, numeracy, and social skills. Children partake in French or Spanish lessons with specialist teachers, enhancing their linguistic abilities and introducing them to global cultures, with specialist-led sessions in Art, Music, Dance, and Drama so children can develop self-expression and creativity from an early age. Several times a week, we also take pupils to nearby parks and playgrounds for games and play, and our Forest School program encourages physical activity and a connection with nature.
As an independent private school in London, we maintain an open atmosphere and close relationship with parents, ensuring every child’s first educational steps are nurtured through encouragement and celebration. Our high staff-to-pupil ratio ensures each child receives dedicated attention within a clear structure, allowing us to maintain high teaching standards and provide strong pastoral care.
A Partnership with Parents
We know that for a 3-year-old, the bridge between home and school must be strong. We ensure you are a constant part of their journey through:
- Weekly Video Highlights: A window into your child’s world, showing you the “magic moments” and achievements of their week.
- Open Communication: From daily greetings at school drop-off and pick-up to regular newsletters and written reports.
- Active Collaboration: Formal parent-teacher meetings and a direct line of email communication to ensure your child feels safe, supported, and happy every single day.
A Seamless Transition
Choosing Knightsbridge School for Nursery offers your family a unique advantage: a seamless transition into Reception. By joining our Nursery community, your child begins a continuous educational journey. Our pupils enjoy a direct transition into Reception and our Junior School, allowing them to bypass the pressure of external assessments and interviews. They move upward with their friends, in a building they love, supported by teachers who have access to their ELGs. No development is lost, and your child’s unique character is already acknowledged before they even get through the door.
