Review from Marina K (Mother of Child) published on 21 March 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The nursery at Vita, is truly a wonderful place for children to grow and flourish. I have had two children pass through the nursery now and they still tell me very often, how much they loved their time there. The staff are amazing and know just what to say and do to make the children feel happy and comfortable and want to be there. They learn, they play, they have fun and they build the confidence needed, to move on to reception. I highly recommend this nursery. After trying a few nurseries before I found Vita, I can honestly say, it’s the best in the area!

Review from P M (Father of Child) published on 11 March 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has been at the nursery since the beginning of the 2021 academic year. The nursery has been a nurturing place, allowing my child to blossom into a confident, curious and caring being. Key staff have decades of experience in working with early years foundation stage children and it shows in their daily approach towards the children. The staff are approachable and have taken time to work with my child at an individual level, to bring out core strengths in literacy, number work and social interaction. My child is happy to go in every morning and comes home with vivid stories of exciting events during the day. While early years foundation stage facilities are state of the art, the school has a down to earth feel about it. There is a strong emphasis on developing children to become good human beings, overall. If you want your child to thrive in a small, nurturing setting, while being cared for by highly experienced staff, this is the place.

Overall Experience

Vita et Pax School nursery has been the perfect nurturing environment for our daughter. She has been very happy there and the teachers have really got to know her and how to support her learning. Their experience and knowledge has been exceptional and we feel our daughter has flourished there. The facilities and opportunities have been astounding. We could not have asked for a better pre school year for our daughter.

Review from S A (Mother of Child) published on 16 July 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is one of the best nurseries in the area. Both our kids went to the nursery and then continued in the Vita et Pax primary school. We liked the fact that this nursery was part of a school and benefited from the extensive infrastructure. Also, it is run in a ‘learning driven’ setup rather than a ‘daycare driven’ setup which meant that our kids were academically growing and getting ready for primary school. Overall, in recent years, the school has further enhanced the offering with breakfast club and late club. We love the fact that most of the pupils are from decent families in the local area and hence little kids (and parents) start friendships that shall go for many future years of their life. The nursery staff are experienced and provide excellent care for kids. They are also always ready to incorporate parents’ feedback. And one final thing to mention - the food (lunch menu) provided to the little children is an extensive 3 courses and of high quality.

Review from Mario M (Father of Child) published on 15 July 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Can't speak more highly for the school and nursery at Vita. My children loved the nursery in particular. The staff are all so caring and are really engaged with the children to help them develop. This stood out against other nurseries which did not have such a hands-on approach. There is a clear and consistent pathway for children in the nursery who then want to move on to prep school. The facilities are great with space inside and outside. The rooms are clean and organised with lots of resources for children to explore. The Nursery Teacher in particular is worth the admission fee alone. She really does nurture children helping them to grow in their development and confidence.

Review from Irene M (Mother of Child) published on 15 July 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We were initially attracted to Vita et Pax by the idea of smaller classes but it was at the open day that we really appreciated what a great place vita is. The students showing us around were so confident, polite, and articulate. They clearly loved the school. I remember thinking that I would like my girls to turn out like the students who showed us around. Both my children attended the nursery, they couldn't wait to get into school each day. (This is still the case) As parents, we were impressed with the wide variety of activities our girls experienced and the range of subject areas covered. My girls were able to enjoy and explore great indoor and outdoor spaces and were taken care of by experienced and caring staff. The teacher's individual approach to my girls gave them the best possible start to their schooling, whilst the family atmosphere helped settle them into school quickly they have had and continue to have such a happy time at Vita et Pax.

Review from Mary I (Mother of Child) published on 15 July 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter attends Vita et Pax and I honestly love this school. The standard of education is excellent and the support and care they show to the pupils is outstanding. I can’t recommend them highly enough. They go the extra mile for parents and children. There is much warmth and caring in Vita et Pax - from the headteacher to all school staff, right through to the parents in the school. It truly is more of a family than a school. My experience in Vita has been that of kindness, fun, laughter, and support. My daughter calls it her ‘magical place’!

Overall Experience

Both my children have attended the nursery at Vita Et Pax. I have seen them flourish as individuals in the nursery setting and beyond. The staff have been lovely and I couldn’t ask for more care and attention. My children are confident, happy kids who absolutely love school now and I feel this is all due to the environment of Vita Et Pax. Within busy London, it is an oasis of calm and community. You get to know the teachers and other parents well and really feel like you’re part of the family.

Overall Experience

My child is just leaving EYFS for the infants and I cannot praise the EYFS team at Vita enough. They have really developed my child's confidence and reading before, during, and after lockdown. They are always full of enthusiasm and great ideas. The facilities in the school are great and extra curricular activities well thought out. Communication through the EExAT learning journal is really clear and provides an excellent insight into your child's day. The school community is welcoming and inclusive with lots of great PFA led events. Definitely recommend.

Kate Newton

I have had the privilege of being part of the Vita et Pax community since 2001, and over the years, I have had the pleasure of stepping into various roles, from Nursery Teacher to Deputy Headteacher. My journey at Vita has been deeply fulfilling, watching our school grow and evolve into a nurturing environment where children thrive, feel safe, and love to learn.

Throughout my time here, I’ve always believed that fostering a love for learning and promoting well-being are at the heart of education. As the Head of EYFS, DSL, and Wellbeing Lead, I strive to ensure that our youngest learners develop a strong foundation based on the values of care, sharing, and fairness. I work closely with my exceptional team to provide a high standard of teaching that is child-centered and encourages every child to express their understanding with both their peers and the adults in the setting.

Over the years, I have seen children grow into confident, thoughtful and successful individuals. It’s an honour to see the children of my former students now walking through the doors of our nursery, which speaks volumes about the lasting impact we have on families and the trust they place in us. The bond we share with our school community is priceless, and I am immensely proud to be a driving force behind such a dedicated and passionate team.

At Vita et Pax, we embrace the belief that although we may all be different, we are all equal. I am excited to continue contributing to the growth and success of our school, fostering an environment where every child feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.

Silvia Klucarova

I’m Mrs Silvia, a passionate and dedicated Early Years Teaching Assistant, and I truly believe that the early years are the most magical time in a child’s life. Watching little minds explore, discover, and grow is not just my job - it’s my joy and privilege! I love working in Early Years because every day is an opportunity to nurture curiosity, spark creativity, and build confidence in young learners. Through play, exploration, and meaningful interactions, I create a warm, inclusive environment where children feel safe, valued, and excited to learn. For me, early education is about more than just ABCs and 123s - it’s about fostering a love for learning, encouraging self-expression, and helping children develop essential life skills that will shape their future.
