Just behind Ealing Hospital, and before Three Bridges off Windmill Avenue, our Comer Crescent nursery has become a cornerstone for local families. After nearly a decade here, we're the trusted choice for parents from Southall, Hanwell and up to West Ealing who want more than basic childcare. Many of our commuting parents travel through Windmill Lane from Isleworth for us.
This exceptional setting, combined with our highly organised approach to the Early Years Framework with Montessori principles, attracts families from Yeading, Greenford, and as far as Gerrards Cross. They choose us for the carefully planned developmental activities that turn each day into an adventure and for the expertise of our team, who ensure every child gains vital skills for school and life.

Step through our doors during the morning work cycle and you'll see focused learning in action. Three-year-olds absorbed in practical numeracy & maths with golden beads, toddlers developing coordination, carefully pouring water between jugs, babies reaching for treasure baskets while their dedicated Key Worker extends their exploration.
Our secure outdoor learning spaces transform throughout the day. Morning sees focused garden activities—planting, watering, observing growth as part of our outdoor learning & play program. The afternoon brings energetic sessions for physical development & coordination. Children hunting for bugs aren't just playing; they're developing the scientific thinking that serves them throughout school.
The location works perfectly for busy families. Walking distance from Ealing Hospital (perfect for NHS parents), convenient for those commuting through Hanwell station, West Ealing and anyone driving to the A4 on their commute, not to mention our excellent bus connections (routes E3, 207, 427). Parents build the nursery run into their daily routine without stress.
Amazing staff, community values at our conveniently located nursery

What truly sets us apart is our sophisticated educational approach. It takes attention from our thoughtfully selected team of Early Years Educators and managers to work, but the results are noticeable.
Within two weeks of joining, your child's dedicated Key Worker explores all seven areas of development through play, creating a baseline that informs their personal learning pathway.
Our team meets weekly, ensuring individualised progression within our 52-week curriculum. During morning work cycles, children engage in purposeful activities matched to their exact developmental stage. Early years phonics & literacy happen daily through songs, stories, and sandpaper letters, while practical numeracy & maths emerge naturally through cooking, construction, and creative play.
This means a child interested in doctors might explore counting medical supplies, practice writing prescriptions in role play, and develop social & emotional development through hospital scenarios. Your child's fascinations become comprehensive learning opportunities across all areas.
We track progress systematically through daily progress journals & app updates and share it. Parents receive clear updates showing both what your child has mastered and what we're working on next. Our termly parent-teacher meetings provide deeper insights into your child's journey, creating a genuine partnership focused on their success.
By the time children leave us for Reception at school, most are reading independently. But just as significantly, they've developed the learning behaviours that matter: persisting through challenges by evaluating with critical thinking, and helping others without being asked.
We have a proud track record of preparing children for a successful transition to a wide range of local primary schools, including Oaklands Primary, St Mark's, Hobbayne Primary, Havelock and Fielding Primary, to name a few. Local primary schools consistently report that our graduates arrive with superior concentration, independence, and enthusiasm for learning.
Our Comer Crescent team brings together years of experience with genuine enthusiasm for what they do. Many have been with us since we opened, getting to know our families well and refining their practices to meet the needs of our community.
They recognise each child's individual pace, knowing when to step back and let a child work through frustration, when to offer support and when to celebrate their small victories that mark huge developmental leaps.
Our SENCO provides expert Special Educational Needs (SEN) Support, creating personalised support plans that ensure every child flourishes by adapting activities to suit different learning styles and needs.
Snowflakes is led by the family that founded it, a partnership now spanning two generations. This unique blend of 22 years' experience and a modern educational vision ensures consistent excellence and a deep, personal commitment to every family.

Sathushen owns and manages the Comer Crescent Branch with a focus on fostering the deep-rooted independence and critical thinking children need to become self-assured, confident individuals in a fast-paced, modern world.
Visit during the morning work cycle (9:30-11:00am) to see children deeply engaged in purposeful learning. Watch four-year-olds teaching three-year-olds to use sandpaper letters. See babies having tummy time while their dedicated Key Worker talks them through what they're experiencing.
Whether your child joins our Baby Program (3-18 months) with nurturing 1:3 ratios, builds confidence in our Toddler Program (18 months - 3 years) with its focus on communication skills, or prepares for the next step in our Preschool Program (3-5 years), each stage provides exactly what children need at that developmental moment.
Our proven settling-in process respects both your child's need for security and your need for reassurance. Spring term settling sessions begin 8th January 2026.
Your child's safety is paramount. Every staff member is Paediatric First Aid trained and holds enhanced DBS & safeguarding clearances. Our secure entry system, CCTV coverage, and dedicated Key Worker system ensure complete peace of mind while you work. Read more about our Safeguarding policy.
