Independent Place Nursery is part of an award-winning outstanding nursery group awarded Ofsted Outstanding again in their recent November 2021 inspection. They are a private nursery which is uniquely situated in the heart of a safe gated complex just an 8 minute walk from Dalston Kingsland station.
The nursery has two fantastic secure outdoor spaces to offer, with the addition of a unique high specification sensory room, dedicated to providing a breadth of experiences for all children.
The main nursery garden boasts a garden oasis with a dedicated water play area which is filled with an incredible array of open-ended play resources, to ensure that children can explore through awe and wonder. The vegetable planting bed means that throughout the year children are able to observe and learn about healthy eating and growing their own vegetables and herbs to use within their weekly cooking sessions with the nursery cook.
The nursery offers three age-appropriate rooms which are equipped with natural age-specific equipment to meet all children's developmental needs. With a natural approach using a range of loose parts and upcycled materials and equipment, they incorporate the Curiosity approach throughout the nursery. Children discover and learn through their explorations of the range of open ended play opportunities with the teaching and learning of the fundamental British values through the incorporation of the Early Years Foundation stage.
The long-serving team ensures consistency for children’s development and strong familiar bonds are made through a key worker system, which supports partnerships with all parents and carers. The online EyLog learning journal allows parents and carers to track children's nursery life and development and share key information.
The nursery employs daily specialist teachers as extra curriculum activities to support children in their earliest years.

Both of my boys (19 months and 4 years) are extremely happy here and often don't want to leave at the end of a long day. The food is tasty, varied, healthy and organic and they usually eat all of it with second helpings. Recently the little one went on a themed picnic in the park. I can visibly see how happy and stimulated they are as as their worlds are opening up and they are becoming increasingly sociable. The staff are lovely, work tirelessly every day and with enthusiasm. They know the kids well and there is a good atmosphere.
The nursery provides a caring, supportive environment for children. Our experience of the nursery has been extremely positive. Our son loves his time there and being comfortable with the nursery has made our lives, with both parents working, as manageable as possible.

My two sons attend Independent Place and are always very happy there. The nursery is safe with lots of different activities and specialist teachers. All staff are warm and welcoming and somehow seems to have loads of energy still at the end of a day! Very impressive. Food is of a high standard, the hours are great and the care is excellent. I'm not from the UK originally and I have felt welcomed into a warm and happy community through Independent Place.
