About the nursery

Rated Good by Ofsted, Soho Nursery and Pre-School provides Early Years education and care to children from birth to 5 years old.

You can find us tucked away beneath the streets of Soho, close to Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square underground stations. We're a cosy nursery in an intimate setting, with separate spaces for different age groups and a secret underground garden!

Our children can choose activities from acting, dance and film-making to cooking, gardening, science and woodwork. We lead in community work and the expressive arts. They love to explore the local area too, enjoying outings to tourist attractions like the National Gallery.
