La Guarderia Spanish Nursery

Spanish and English run through the learning at La Guarderia Spanish Nursery, from conversation to science experiments. In May 2026, staff used both languages as children explored colours, quantities and textures. This gives the nursery a clear identity beyond its name.

At its May 2026 inspection, Ofsted judged children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard, the other assessed areas Expected standard, and safeguarding standards met. Those are separate judgements, rather than an overall grade.

The nursery accepts children aged 24 to 48 months and has capacity for 16 children. Its home is the hall at Saint John Fisher Roman Catholic Church in London.

In May 2026, storytelling featured throughout learning: staff returned to familiar stories and helped children discover how books carry information. The early years foundation stage is the framework for children's learning, development and care; here, the inspection-time activities included practical exploration, language and early mathematics.

Measuring, weighing and pouring gave children ways to investigate quantities. Science experiments introduced vocabulary in Spanish and English, connecting language with something children could explore directly. Staff also followed children's interests as they chose activities and experimented with moving materials between containers.

Physical play extended beyond the hall. In May 2026, children used a local park for running and scooting, with counting woven into hide-and-seek. Climbing and dancing also formed part of the physical activities. These experiences brought movement and learning together.

In May 2026, staff worked with families on sleep routines, using familiar comforting objects or favourite lullabies to help children settle. They shared these approaches with parents so that the same strategies could continue at home. Children also practised everyday independence through dressing themselves and tidying away.

At the May 2026 inspection, Ofsted found that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities received support to participate, but daily interventions were not consistently built into curriculum planning, while efforts to improve communication with parents had yet to benefit every child. This distinction matters: support was happening, but its organisation and reach needed further work.

During that month, staff used reminders before changes of activity and adapted routines around individual children's needs. Leaders were also developing communication with families about children's experiences beyond nursery, including language development at home.

The address is 141 Kidbrooke Park Road, Saint John Fisher Roman Catholic Church (hall), London, SE3 0DZ. Opening hours are 07:30 to 18:00, Monday to Friday.

The nursery operates across the year, closing for bank holidays and Christmas. For families organising regular care, that calendar is a useful practical distinction from provision restricted to school terms.

• Daily SEND support. In May 2026, interventions were not consistently incorporated into curriculum planning. Families needing this support should discuss how daily adaptations are organised and followed through.
• Communication and routines. The May 2026 priorities included stronger parent communication and better attendance and punctuality. These matter for continuity between home and nursery and for children's learning routines.
• Your attendance pattern. The opening window runs from 07:30 to 18:00. Which booking pattern would fit your family's week within those hours?

La Guarderia Spanish Nursery merits consideration for families seeking Spanish-and-English learning for children aged 24 to 48 months, alongside a weekday opening window spanning the working day. Its May 2026 activities connected conversation, books, investigation and movement. The balance is clear: welfare and wellbeing received the strongest judgement, while systematic SEND adaptations, parent communication and attendance remained priorities for improvement.
