Chelsea Pre-Prep vs Tadpoles Nursery

[JuliaBelgravia]

We have received offers from both nurseries and are struggling to choose. Has anyone's LO attended either of these nurseries in Chelsea? Would love to hear your experience or thoughts. Thank you

CPP was phenomenal and some of the best years off my girls lives. I would 1000% recommend it. The space outside is wonderful. They're so thoughtful and creative week to week with what they do and organise for the kids. The parents are carefully selected to be the right mindset for the kind of education they give. It's not just a little nursery/kinder with some painting and reading it's proper school to get their little minds open and exploring their first few years of learning in the most passionate and creative way for children growing up in this modern world. My girls now Grade 5 and 1, still talk most weeks about it and how much they miss it. It was so happy and the head and owner are wonderful people. I never felt nervous taking them there, I knew what lovely capable hands they were in and the joy and friendships it brought to our lives is still going today. Plus the church is huge, so even on a rainy day they can be kicking the ball around and using their trikes and running around if it's hideous outside. Which is SO important for little ones. I'm still praying one day Stuart opens a big school! Of which I would move to overnight without questioning it. I have that much faith in his vision for education.

Thank you so much @vuka for sharing your thoughts of CPP - that is hugely helpful! It's great to hear that your daughters had such a positive experience and still remember it so fondly!
