The School

Strawberry Fields is a dynamic private nursery school in the heart of London’s Notting Hill. Over the years, it has developed its unique character and has become known as a place where children flourish and grow in an environment of love, care, creativity, fun and academic excellence. The school is heavily oversubscribed and extremely successful in preparing children for entry into their next schools. Strawberry Fields has been referred to in print as ‘Notting Hill’s best kept secret’, receiving OFSTED’s highest grade of ‘outstanding’ in every inspection. We surround the children with stimulating activities with a rich variety of resources. There is a special emphasis on the expressive arts as we introduce the children to the wonders of painting, dancing, singing, acting and storytelling. We have an enriched outdoor learning programme including tennis, ball-skills, swimming and forest school led by specialist teachers.
