Exciting Expansion of the St James Nursery Provision

St James Nursery & Preparatory School is delighted to announce the expansion of its Nursery provision to better support local families’ needs.

Starting this September, the nursery will be open 48 weeks a year, with extended hours from 7.30am to 6.00pm.

With this exciting new chapter comes a new name, as the Nursery becomes “Little Shells Nursery at St James”.

This development builds on St James' long-standing commitment to providing an inspirational and balanced introduction to school life, where creativity, academic foundations, and holistic wellbeing go hand-in-hand. With access to Forest School, a fully-equipped Teaching Kitchen, and specialist sessions with the Prep School Performing Arts teachers, children will continue to enjoy a playful and enriching early learning experience.

As Little Shells Nursery at St James, the school will continue to offer the same caring team, varied curriculum, and joyful atmosphere, now with the added benefit of a more accessible and flexible structure to meet the needs of modern family life.

Families are warmly invited to visit and experience for themselves the special environment the Nursery provides.

To learn more or arrange a tour, please contact Admissions Registrar Mrs Clark at [email protected] or call 020 7348 1793.
