The setting has been thoughtfully curated with Early Years education in mind, helping create an environment where curiosity and creativity is encouraged to help foster a lifelong love for learning. Our state-of-the-art nursery on Junction Road provides a safe, secure environment for children aged 3 months to 5 years, and is conveniently located just a 3-minute drive from South Ealing Train Station.

Explore The Nursery

Our nursery in Ealing has been thoughtfully designed to support every stage of a child’s Early Years development. From calming baby rooms to engaging toddler and preschool spaces, each area encourages exploration, learning and growth.

All our furniture is exclusively sourced from Community Playthings, known for their child-centred design and emphasis on safety, with features like pinch-free hinges, rounded corners and sustainable, non-toxic materials. This ensures that every element of our nursery is as safe and eco-conscious as it is inspiring.

Fennies Ealing is equipped with purpose-built rooms carefully tailored to suit each age group…

Explorers Rooms

At Fennies Ealing, we have our Explorers Room, carefully designed for our youngest children aged 3 to 18 months. At this stage, little ones are beginning to crawl, pull themselves up and explore the world around them, and our rooms are thoughtfully laid out to support this exciting physical development.

Sensory play is a key part of learning at this age, helping babies to make sense of their surroundings and begin to build early communication skills. Our Explorers Room includes a calming sensory area, along with direct access to nappy changing facilities and milk kitchens for a smooth, responsive care routine. 

With a 1:3 team ratio, our babies receive nurturing, one-to-one attention and form strong, secure bonds with their key person, laying the foundation for confident development. It also has a dedicated baby terrace that allows the children to explore and develop their physical motor skills safely and securely.

Discoverers Room

Our Discoverers Room is designed for children aged 18 to 24 months, a stage filled with curiosity and growing independence. This is when personalities start to shine, language becomes more expressive, and movement becomes more adventurous.

The room is spacious and adaptable, allowing our team to tailor the environment and activities to match the children’s changing interests. Whether it’s exploring sensory trays, building towers or engaging in early role play, children have the space and encouragement to follow their own lead.

We maintain a 1:3 team ratio here too, ensuring every child feels supported. Practical features like an on-room milk kitchen and changing area help us keep care consistent and seamless throughout the day.

Creators Room

In our Creators Room, for children aged 2 to 3 years, we focus on developing communication, social interaction and growing independence. Children at this age love to help and take on small tasks, like serving themselves at mealtimes, and we create an environment that supports this developing autonomy.

With a 1:5 team ratio, our educators provide a balance of structured and child-led activities that support confidence, collaboration and self-expression. It also has a dedicated terrace area that allows the children to explore and develop their physical motor skills safely and securely, allowing the children to transition between indoor and outdoor environments.

Inventors Room

Our Inventors Room supports children aged 3 to 5 years as they prepare for their transition into school. The room is filled with opportunities for independent exploration and focused learning through our STEAM-inspired curriculum (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Maths)

With a 1:8 team ratio, children enjoy a rich learning environment that builds confidence, critical thinking and creativity. Free-flow access to the garden allows for fluid movement between indoor and outdoor play, extending learning through nature and physical activity.

Real-life resources and hands-on activities encourage role play, problem-solving and collaborative thinking, key skills that support school readiness and a lifelong love of learning.

Garden

Our spacious outdoor garden at Fennies Ealing, Junction Road is a standout feature, offering children the chance to explore, move freely and learn through play. With areas like a water feature and climbing area, the garden is designed to spark imagination and support physical, cognitive and social development.

Children enjoy time outdoors every day, learning about nature, building friendships and developing gross motor skills through outdoor play, all while having fun in a safe and inspiring environment.

Safety and Security

At our nursery on Junction Road, the safety and security of every child is our top priority. From the moment your child arrives until the moment they leave, we have a robust and secure entry system in place to ensure complete peace of mind.

The Management Team

Tracy (Nursery Manager)

Tracy’s passion for giving back shines through in everything she does, both inside and outside of the nursery. Alongside her partner, she rescues dogs and cats, highlighting her nurturing nature and commitment to providing opportunities for others. Within the setting, Tracy is deeply engaged with the local community, organising initiatives such as food bank collections to support families in need. One of the highlights of her Early Years career has been contributing to a published book, where she shared how she introduced ‘Worry Monsters’ to help children express their emotions and develop emotional resilience. Tracy’s ambition is simple but powerful, to ensure that every child leaves the nursery feeling confident, emotionally secure and ready for the next chapter of their journey.

Steph (Deputy Manager)

Steph brings a vibrant energy to the nursery, quite literally! Known for experimenting with almost every hair colour imaginable, she’s become a favourite among the children, who love using their colour-based vocabulary to describe her ever-changing look. Steph is passionate about building strong connections with families, regularly sharing joyful moments via the Famly app and organising events that bring parents into the heart of nursery life. One of her greatest joys in her Early Years journey is watching children progress from Explorers to Inventors, celebrating each magical milestone along the way. With a creative flair for play, Steph is on a mission to encourage more open-ended, imaginative experiences, moving away from traditional toys and embracing everyday objects to spark children’s curiosity and creativity.

The Education Team

Paula (Regional SENCO And Inclusion Manager)

Paula plays an integral role in offering support to children with additional needs or those learning English as an Additional Language (EAL). She plays a key role in enhancing our team’s understanding of both SENCO and EAL empowering us to provide the best possible care.

Ruth (Education Advisor)

Ruth is pivotal in motivating our teams to create engaging and stimulating environments for our children. She is a strong advocate for our initiatives like our ‘Book of the Month’ and our recently introduced ‘Music and Movement’ campaign. Music-based activities are essential to our curriculum due to their profound impact on brain and emotional development, along with its benefits on children’s holistic well-being during their Early Years. Ruth recently visited Fennies Ealing to provide a variety of music-based activities that helped the children foster good listening skills and improve their fine motor development.

Majka (Art Specialist)

Majka frequently visits all of our nurseries, including our Ealing nursery, to guide the children in learning through art. Each month, she introduces an ‘Artist of the Month’, encouraging children to explore various art activities inspired by that artist’s works. The children at Fennies Ealing, Junction Road had an incredible time celebrating Holi, the vibrant Hindu festival of colours! Through playful exploration with colour and music, the children learned about the cultural significance of Holi, a joyful celebration of love, unity and new beginnings through the beauty of art.

Education at Fennies

At our Ealing nursery, we recognise that the first five years of a child’s life are the most formative.

These are carried out by our Regional Managers in collaboration with Rageena, our Director of Early Years, to maintain consistency and excellence across all of our nurseries.
