Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Children listen well and follow instructions. They are well behaved and considerate towards each other. Staff support children's learning through a variety of adult-led activities as well as child-led play.

Safeguarding Training: There is an open and positive culture around safeguarding that puts children's interests first.
Play and Learning Integration: Children benefit from planned activities that build on what they already know and can do. For instance, using tongs to pick up cooked spaghetti helps develop their physical skills.

Happiness and Settling: Children are safe and very happy at this nurturing and stimulating nursery. Staff support children to develop good social skills and feel excited to arrive each day.

From the Raphael Nursery
Raphael Nursery is a bilingual French nursery. We are an award wining and family-owned setting. We are located in Clapham South at the edge of Abbeville village. The nursery welcomes children aged between 3 months and 5 years old. We open 51 weeks a year from 8.00am to 6.00pm.

We provide a living culture and creative exploration through the eyes of the child. By building on Montessori methods and linguistic arts, we have developed their unique curriculum. As a result, we prepare a child to excel in their foundation years. Children can then move through life with a strong ability to achieve excellence.

Your child’s early years are vital. It is the foundation for thinking, language, vision, attitudes and aptitudes. This is the perfect time for children to learn foreign languages. At Raphael Nursery teachers are French and English. These early years are ideal for a teacher to guide a child’s willingness and ability to learn. In the French nursery, bilingualism helps children to make sense of the world around them. It also helps them to discover the joy of communication.

Furthermore, Montessori is a dynamic international education platform. Through continuous observation and tailored approach, we strive to meet each child’s needs. By meeting physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional, children therefore grow with excitement. In the bilingual French Montessori nursery, children blossom.

Finally, a high level of academic achievement is a natural outcome in most Montessori schools and nurseries because of the supportive environment. All children are born with a curiosity to discover new things. They are indeed eager to try and develop new skills in the world around them. Raphael Nursery combines Montessori methods and early teaching of a foreign language. This therefore equips the children with the right tools to thrive in their development within the bilingual French nursery.
