Alphabet House Nursery Schools - Enderby Wharf

At Alphabet House Nursery Schools – Enderby Wharf, we provide a nurturing, high-quality early years environment where children feel safe, valued, and endlessly curious. Our mission is simple: to support every child to blossom confidently socially, emotionally, and academically through play, exploration, and meaningful relationships.

We proudly serve families in the Enderby Wharf and wider Greenwich community, welcoming children from diverse backgrounds, abilities, and family structures. Whether you’re a first-time parent or juggling siblings with busy schedules, we’re here to support your whole family through these precious early years.


What We Do
We offer a rich and thoughtfully designed early years experience that blends the very best of child-led, evidence-based practice. Our skilled educators create environments where children:

  • Explore freely through hands-on, sensory-rich experiences
  • Build confidence as they solve problems, create, question, and collaborate
  • Develop independence through choice, responsibility, and practical life activities
  • Experience genuine joy in learning at their own pace

Our curriculum supports children from babies to pre-schoolers with tailored routines, immersive play experiences, and a deep commitment to meeting each child exactly where they are developmentally.


Our Approach
We have adopted Froebel’s Froebelian principles, embracing his belief that children learn best through play, nature, creativity, and purposeful activity. This approach guides us to:

  • Create connected, beautiful learning environments
  • Offer open-ended materials and real opportunities for exploration
  • Honour children’s agency, autonomy, and natural curiosity
  • Build strong relationships with families as partners in learning

Alongside this, we also integrate key elements of the Montessori method, nurturing independence, self-discipline, and a love of order. Children are encouraged to follow their intrinsic motivation while engaging with carefully prepared materials that support concentration, problem-solving, and deep engagement.

The blend of Froebelian and Montessori practice allows us to offer a rich, balanced, and modern approach to early education, one that truly respects the whole child.


Who We HelpWe support children aged 3 months – 5 years old and their families who want:

  • A warm, caring nursery grounded in high-quality pedagogy
  • A setting that values individuality, creativity, and emotional wellbeing
  • Educators who genuinely know and celebrate their child
  • A play-rich curriculum that builds essential early foundations
  • A community where children feel they belong and families feel supported


Our Nursery PACS: The Heart of Everything We Do
Purpose
We design learning with intention. Everything is planned to spark curiosity, extend thinking, and inspire children to become independent, confident learners.

Our curriculum uses core texts, Awe & Wonder moments, and STEM-based experiences to build knowledge, skills, and imagination across every area of development.

Attitudes
We believe in leaving every space and every person better than we found them.Through kindness, high expectations, and positive role modelling, we nurture:

• resilience• empathy• emotional intelligence• a growth mindset

Our staff support each child’s strengths, celebrate progress, and set thoughtful next steps using tailored developmental goals. 

Community
We celebrate every culture, language, and family story.Children explore traditions through cooking sessions, cultural festivals, and inclusive play experiences.Our Mini Master Chefs programme and strong EAL support systems ensure all children feel a sense of belonging, pride, and independence. 

Service
We go above and beyond, always.From termly parent meetings to EYSPs, collaborative SEND support, and detailed cohort tracking, our team works proactively to ensure no child is ever left behind.Families trust us because they feel held, informed, and supported every step of the way. 


Why We Stand Out
  • A beautifully balanced curriculum blending Froebel, Montessori, and our PACS
  • Thoughtful planning that values children’s interests, needs, and individual pathways
  • Strong partnerships with parents and professionals
  • Inclusive practice that honours identity, language, and culture
  • A warm, joyful, purpose-driven team committed to excellence
