About us
Values and ethos
The nursery’s philosophy remains the same today as when it first opened in 1986.
Our aim is to help develop happy, confident children with a curiosity for the world around them. We provide each child with exciting, rewarding activities and experiences that are appropriate for their age and development within an inclusive setting. We know children learn best when they are happy and so play is central to everything we do.
Our fees
We are registered with the following schemes:
- Nursery funding for three and four year olds (starts the term after the child reaches three years of age).
- Salary sacrifice childcare vouchers.
- London Borough of Richmond upon Thames’ Early Education Funding (click here for more information).
Our team
The Ivytree’s reputation for excellence is due to the quality of our staff, many of whom have been with us for many years. All staff attend regular training courses to ensure that they are fully up to date with the latest teaching and learning in child development. We’ve listed some of their accreditation here but please contact us if you would like to see a full list.
