Our Ethos and Approach
At Shannon ChildCare, we pride ourselves on providing a nurturing, educational, and loving environment for babies, toddlers, and young children. Our nurseries are designed to resemble a 'home from home', where children feel free to explore and learn in a safe and comfortable setting. We have three individual nurseries, all within walking distance of Edgware Tube and Bus Station, and nearby links with Mill Hill Overground Station.
Our Unique Approach
We are unique in the way we operate, offering the opportunity for children to move into different houses, providing novelty and inspiration to learn and grow, with the comfort of routine and continuity of care with the same staff. Our practitioners work across all three settings, ensuring that children receive a seamless transition as they grow and develop. Our 'transition' from baby house to toddler house to pre-school house allows your child to develop self-confidence as they learn to adapt to new environments.
