Little Agnes Nursery is the first French & English bilingual nursery in central London.

Opened in July 2021, the nursery offers 55 places for babies and children from 3 months to 5 years old.

The setting offers extended day-care with a bilingual approach for the local families around the Vauxhall area: from Battersea to Oval, Stockwell and Kennington.

Little Agnes Nursery directors are also part of the founding team of other bilingual schools including College Français Bilingue de Londres (Kentish Town) and Lycee International de Londres W Churchill (Wembley).

All staff are highly trained, friendly and welcoming and the children will receive early immersion in French and English by native speakers. The nursery offers a safe and stimulating environment for learning and playing activities and two outings per day are organised.

Little Agnes Nursery benefits from direct access to Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, and two large children playgrounds and even a city farm are just a few minutes’ walk from the setting.         

Healthy meals are prepared in-house for children each day with the use of organic ingredients wherever possible.

The nursery feels like an extension of home and we are so happy to have chosen Little Agnes. Our little boy goes to nursery with a smile, and we immediately saw his development accelerate when he joined.


The reasons we chose Little Agnes:
1. Truly bilingual with native Francophone staff
2. Set

up by parents with backgrounds in education (so, not part of a corporate chain)
3. Lovely premises - clean and new - with easy access to Vauxhall Park and its urban farm.


The additional reasons we now have to love it:
1. Not just bilingual! English and French are the focus, but the team also speaks Spanish, Polish and many other languages
2. The caring staff: It’s not easy to trust strangers with your baby but the team is so caring and all smiles
3. Activities: Science week, book day, cooking, playing with textures, digging for dinosaurs!
4. Communication: newsletters and an app (but without feeling like your child is being “tracked” or the team spends their time logging data)

Finding a nursery can be really daunting, you don't believe anyone can look after your child as well as you can. My daughter has been at Little Agnes for just over three months now and absolutely loves it. It was hard at the beginning as we both missed each other but the staff are so warm, enthusiastic
and affectionate that I think she began feeling like she was at home, only better because she gets to play with other children all day, she's taken to the city farm park round the corner (a luxury in central London!) eats good wholesome food cooked by an Italian chef, speaks French with the ladies and engages in the most amazingly creative activities I could never invent myself! The management are great and keeps us parents informed, and includes us in lots of activities and celebrations. The nursery's app is wonderful - it keeps me updated throughout the day to see what my little one is up to. Needless to say, it makes me smile whilst I'm at work knowing she is having so much fun.

Our daughter has been attending Little Agnes for about 5 months now and she honestly loves this place. The staff are so friendly and supportive and they provide her with so much care, attention and positivity. The key workers are very communicative and constantly show a great amount of interest in the
development of our daughter.
I will recommend Little Agnes to anyone looking for a nursery in this area as it's become like a second home to our daughter.

We couldn’t be happier with our decision moving to this nursery overall. Our son has quickly made a personal connection with his key person and also is very fond of other teachers in his room. Although the nursery does not have an independent outdoor space, it’s close to Vauxhall Park where staff take
children outside sometimes twice a day. We also feel very supported by nursery teachers in helping prepare 3+ toddlers to get ready for school. We experienced three nurseries in the past due to moving home and Little Agnes is definitely the best one for us.

We have recently moved our child to Little Agnes Nursery and have been very happy with the decision.
The staff are caring and really know all the children and their interests, and there is a carefully planned out selection of activities across the week. For us the French language input is a plus but
it wouldn't matter if your little one did not have it already as a language at home. As a new nursery, there are still lower child numbers which means a very high teacher/child ratio, which is wonderful, but we look forward to welcoming more children in the coming months to increase our child's opportunities to socialise.
Reply from Nelam Ali, Manager at Little Agnes Nursery
We are grateful for your review and lovely feedback. We have enjoyed getting to know your little one and look forward to continuing to see him flourish at Little Agnes Nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We’ve had an outstanding experience so far. Smooth settling in experience, great supportive and friendly staff, the children go out twice a day (to the farm/park), there are classes through the week such as theatre, ballet, dance and singing. The French teachers are excellent too.


We’ve seen new

behaviours such as learning to say please, drinking out of a free flow cup and independent playing. Also, lots of painting and drawing going on. So good to see our little one learning new things!


In addition, great communication from management and on the app. Can not recommend enough!

Very happy overall with my daughter's progress within the nursery. There is clear evidence of learning, and the staff are always caring and attentive towards her. There has been a recent shift in management's involvement in recent months, and I believe this is having a positive influence in the quality
of care and learning.

Thank you for all the support and encouragement you have given us over the last few months. We are so happy that your family has been part of our little community right from the start.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As new parents, it is very hard to trust any place where you could potentially leave your child for the day. After meeting the team and visiting the Little Agnes Nursery, we were quickly put at ease. A few months after, our daughter began to blossom. She is learning new things every day, she is happy
to go to the nursery in the morning and she is in a good mood when she comes home. There is something about the team spirit of the caregivers that is very refreshing, and the overall welcoming atmosphere makes you feel as though you are part of a community. My wife and I chose this nursery, particularly for the benefits of its bilingual program, and as a French native speaker myself, this means a lot to us to see our daughter immersed in both English and French culture and activities; this is one of this nursery’s many qualities and we are happy to make a longer commute for such a great environment for our daughter.

A wonderfully warm, welcoming, family atmosphere fills this nursery. Staff are caring and considerate, not only towards the children but to us as a family as a whole. The nursery is clean and tidy. Love that they always ensure children enjoy time outdoors. My child has grown in confidence and developed
his social skills exponentially. Would recommend highly.

We could not be happier with this nursery. From the minute my daughter started going to Little Agnes, the care and attention she has received has been of the highest possible standard. The staff really care - not only about the wellbeing of your child, but that of the whole family. Every time we drop
off our daughter in the morning, we know she will be safe and happy - and will be learning lots of interesting and exciting things during the day. We couldn't really ask for more in a nursery and are so glad we chose this special place!

The best nursery in London, I am so glad I found Little Agnes Nursery for my son. He has settled so well that he cries when I collect him at the end of the day as he wants to stay longer. Staff are incredible especially the manager who is so professional and made the whole process smooth from beginning
to end. I wish I had found them earlier. Also, I would love to mention how clean and tidy the nursery is. Highly recommend to everyone. You must visit to see how brilliant they are!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.798)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.798) out of 10 for Little Agnes Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.798 for Little Agnes Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (138 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.798
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Agnes Nursery is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
