Richmond Park Nursery
About Richmond Park Nursery
Richmond Park Nursery is one of just two private nurseries in the London borough of Richmond upon Thames, and both hold the highest possible Ofsted rating of Outstanding. This puts the school in a very select group locally, with its nearest Outstanding-rated peer being Windham Nursery School, located 1.3 kilometres away. For families in this affluent southwest London borough, the choice of top-tier early years provision is therefore extremely limited, making Richmond Park Nursery a significant local option. Headteacher James Wilson leads a small, mixed-gender setting of just 65 children aged from birth to five, which gives the nursery an intimate feel. Its private funding means it operates independently of the local authority, and the facilities on offer are unusually extensive for a nursery — including a gymnasium, swimming pool, theatre, art studios, music rooms, and a chapel — suggesting a provision that goes well beyond basic childcare.
