Welcome To Snowflakes Lady Margaret Road

In the heart of Southall, our Lady Margaret Road nursery has been the trusted choice for local families since Snowflakes began over two decades ago. As our original location, we have been refining our approach since 2002 becoming part of Southall's educational foundation. Our Ofsted-registered nursery welcomes children from 6 months to 5 years.

This established setting, combined with our highly organised approach to an enhanced EYFS with Montessori principles, attracts families who value proven expertise over promises. They choose us for the deep community knowledge that shapes each child's experience and for the refined practices that ensure every child gains vital skills for school and life.

A Refined Learning Environment

Our original nursery has evolved through 22 years of continuous refinement. Every corner reflects lessons learned from supporting the development of hundreds of children, some of whom have now gone onto university. The purposeful room layouts create distinct zones where toddlers practice pouring at child-height tables while preschoolers work with phonics materials in quieter spaces.

Inside, our established routines provide the consistency young children need. The Baby Room maintains gentle rhythms perfected over decades. Our Toddler Room balances structure with freedom through practices refined by long-serving staff. The Preschool Room hums with purposeful activity as children master skills using methods that have been proven to work.

A true Pillar In Southall's Residential Community Since 2002

What Makes Lady Margaret Road Special

What truly sets us apart is how we use every corner to develop learning journeys for each child's individual needs:

Individual Developement Tracking

Within two weeks of joining, your child's dedicated Key Worker will have explored all seven areas of development through play and created a personal learning pathway specific to them. This isn't a one-size-fits-all approach—it's genuinely individual.

Weekly Curriculum Plan ning

Our team then plans weekly, creating individualised activities within our 52-week curriculum. During morning work cycles, children aren't just playing—they're engaged in carefully selected activities matched to their developmental needs.

Interest-Led Learning

Our team then plans weekly, weaving individual needs into our 52-week curriculum. During morning work cycles, children aren't just busy—they're working through activities specifically selected for their development. The garden becomes a maths classroom, the mud kitchen a science lab, the reading corner a gateway to literacy.

This means a toddler fascinated by boats might count canal barges for maths, practice boat vocabulary for literacy, and develop coordination through water play activities. Your child's interests drive comprehensive development. Learn more about our personalised learning approach.

Outcomes That Speak for Themselves

Children from Lady Margaret Road consistently exceed expectations. Most graduate students read independently, write confidently, and understand number concepts thoroughly. Beyond academics, they develop concentration, persistence, and natural kindness—qualities teachers recognise immediately.

Our established relationships with local primary schools mean smooth transitions. Teachers at Lady Margaret Primary, Tudor Primary, and Featherstone know our graduates arrive prepared.

We track progress systematically through daily progress journals & app updates, sharing it simply during termly parent-teacher meetings where we celebrate achievements and plan next steps together. It's a genuine partnership built on transparency and trust.
