Peques Anglo-Spanish Nursery Schools, Parson Green

Patio & Allotment gives this Dawes Road nursery a practical connection with the natural world. Children grow vegetables, herbs and flowers alongside a private outdoor patio. Trilingual Daily Life brings English, Spanish and Mandarin into daily activities and conversations.

Peques has capacity for 46 children and caters for ages three months to five years. Its home is Fulham Baptist Church. No Ofsted inspection has been published for this setting yet.

Four named groups organise the nursery day. Crystals Group covers three to 17 months, with gentle routines for babies; Diamonds Group covers 18 to 24 months, emphasising language and growing independence. Rainbows Group spans 26 months to three years, with creativity and social confidence its emphasis; Indigos Group covers three to five years and prepares children for school.

The EYFS brings learning and care together: children develop communication, explore ideas and learn by trying things out and solving problems. Alongside that foundation, the nursery uses English, Spanish and Mandarin across the day, making language exposure part of ordinary activity.

Outdoors, the patio and allotment offer different experiences. Growing and harvesting give children a role in caring for living things, rather than simply observing them. The nursery’s own chef prepares fresh meals daily.

Settling at Parsons Green progresses from time with a parent to a short separation and then lunch with the group. The first session runs from 9.30am to 10.30am; during the next, the child remains until 11.30am. The lunch stage runs from 9.30am to noon, provided the child is comfortable with staff and other children.

There is also a practical hygiene requirement for parents taking part in settling: sanitised hands and shoe covers, supplied by the nursery. These are details families can plan around before their child starts.

The address is Fulham Baptist Church, Dawes Road, Fulham, SW6 7EG. Opening hours are 8am to 6pm, with the nursery operating for 50 weeks each year. It sits between Parsons Green and Fulham Broadway stations.

The branch telephone number is 0207 385 5333. Its patio, allotment and on-site food preparation are useful practical distinctions for families considering the daily routine.

• Baby-room size. Crystals Group starts at three months, while the whole nursery has 46 places. At a visit, what is the usual number of babies together in this group?
• Settling time. The introductory sequence includes accompanied time, separation and lunch. Plan for a gradual start rather than an immediate ordinary nursery day.
• Attendance calendar. Opening hours run from 8am to 6pm across 50 weeks. Families seeking care across the year should weigh that calendar against their working arrangements.

This setting suits families seeking everyday exposure to English, Spanish and Mandarin, with growing and harvesting woven into outdoor activity. The four age groups and staged settling arrangements give parents concrete details to weigh. Its appeal rests on that practical offer, rather than an inspection-based assessment of quality.
