Somers Town Community Nursery
Somers Town Community Nursery is an 18 place voluntary-aided nursery situated on the first floor of the community centre building and managed by Somers Town Community Association.
Children between the ages of 2 and 5 years are admitted on either a full-time or part-time basis. Children are welcomed from across Camden and particularly from Somers Town, Regent's Park, St Pancras, Kings Cross and Brunswick.
The nursery is purpose built, open plan and divided into areas that reflect the Early Years Curriculum. A private roof garden provides space for the children to play outside in safety.
The aim of Somers Town Community Nursery is to provide high quality childcare and nursery education in a safe and secure setting. Our hope is to enable the children in our care to develop to their full potential socially, emotionally, morally and intellectually.
We are committed to working in an inclusive way which means that we positively value every child's difference be it religious creed, racial origin, linguistic or cultural and heritage background.
