Welcome to Vita et Pax Nursery – A Nursery Like No Other!

From the moment a child steps through the doors, they become part of the Vita et Pax family. Every child deserves a warm, nurturing environment where they feel valued, safe, and excited to learn. Dedicated staff work closely with parents, recognising the vital role families play in early development, ensuring each child flourishes. Through small group and whole-class sessions, confidence, independence, and a true love for learning are nurtured, creating a setting where children feel secure and happy.

A vibrant curriculum offers PE in the school hall, music lessons that spark creativity, and Spanish classes led by a language specialist, inspiring a love for languages from an early age. As part of a thriving school community, children participate in assemblies, workshops, and performances—including a beautifully staged Nativity play, a treasured highlight of the year. Learning extends beyond the classroom with outdoor adventures and enriching trips, such as the magical Chicken Shed Theatre experience. Fresh, nutritious meals are prepared daily by an in-house chef, promoting healthy eating habits. Wraparound care from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM provides additional support for families, ensuring a safe and engaging environment beyond the school day.

Amazing place to bring your children, I especially find it helps my two children who I nanny for with being more independent with playing which is a life saver for me! With having indoor and outside stay and play.
It's gives them an opportunity to play and discover new things they may have not before.
The staff here are so friendly and amazing overall a good 5 stars from me.

Lovely nursery and primary school, small class sizes. Learning through play with support for children who are a little behind their peers. Parents encouraged to be involved and also support children so there is a 360 fun, learning environment. Would recommend.

My daughter, and son before her, have both had a wonderful experience at Vita Et Pax nursery.
From the moment we joined we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism. The staff are attentive and it's evident they enjoy their jobs supporting the children with their development. The curriculum is
engaging and activities are fun and educational. My son joined reception with knowledge of his phonics and this has boosted his confidence and ability.
I've particularly appreciated the ease with which I can communicate with the nursery team. The nursery is also well integrated with the wider school. This access and engagement with older children and traditional school routine is great to help with transition to reception and provides socialisation opportunities. The students are polite, welcoming and all know each other, which means it's not an intimidating environment for the younger children.

My son attends this Nursery and has since May 2024. He is thriving here and has made such positive relationships with staff and children.
We have formed a nice parent network, were we meet up for parties and made great friendships.
The learning outcomes are fantastic he has learnt to write his name
and recognise the letters within it. I'm so happy with the nurturing care that is provided by the team and the British values that are being implemented in the everyday care he receives.

My daughter is bilingual. She made big progress with her English for the last year of our stay at Vita et Pax. Of course it is the contribution of all the teachers and staff, because she was constantly playing and showing me how her teacher explained bouncing sounds or stretchy ones. What I would like
to mention is the communication between teachers, school and parents - it is amazing, we have an app, in which you can communicate with teachers directly and it helps a lot in understanding things, it helps you to feel confident that if anything happens, Mostly good things - you will know it first and straight away.
I would like to say a big thank you for the warm and kind attitude to our family, and particularly for our daughter. It was a great pleasure to see her first steps in her learning journey. I hope Vita will still keep the same warm and family oriented school, where kids feel like at home, as we felt it from the first day of our staying here.

My son started at the Vita Nursery almost a year ago. He has absolutely flourished in every way during the time he has been at the nursery - he has learned so much! He loves going to nursery as well as his teachers and friends. I feel that the nursery has struck a great balance in stretching the children
academically, giving them lots of variety and interesting activities, as well as supporting them to develop socially with their peers and the wider school community within a very nurturing environment. My son is so happy at pick up to show and tell me all about what he's been doing through the day. The school really takes an active approach towards creating a whole family school environment, including the nursery. I have been pleasantly surprised to see the older children helping and looking out for the nursery children. All of the teaching staff clearly know all the children well, and the school community is very wholesome, inclusive and fun.

The nursery at Vita, is truly a wonderful place for children to grow and flourish. I have had two children pass through the nursery now and they still tell me very often, how much they loved their time there. The staff are amazing and know just what to say and do to make the children feel happy and
comfortable and want to be there. They learn, they play, they have fun and they build the confidence needed, to move on to reception. I highly recommend this nursery. After trying a few nurseries before I found Vita, I can honestly say, it’s the best in the area!

My child has been at the nursery since the beginning of the 2021 academic year. The nursery has been a nurturing place, allowing my child to blossom into a confident, curious and caring being. Key staff have decades of experience in working with early years foundation stage children and it shows in
their daily approach towards the children. The staff are approachable and have taken time to work with my child at an individual level, to bring out core strengths in literacy, number work and social interaction. My child is happy to go in every morning and comes home with vivid stories of exciting events during the day. While early years foundation stage facilities are state of the art, the school has a down to earth feel about it. There is a strong emphasis on developing children to become good human beings, overall. If you want your child to thrive in a small, nurturing setting, while being cared for by highly experienced staff, this is the place.

This is one of the best nurseries in the area. Both our kids went to the nursery and then continued in the Vita et Pax primary school. We liked the fact that this nursery was part of a school and benefited from the extensive infrastructure. Also, it is run in a ‘learning driven’ setup rather than a
‘daycare driven’ setup which meant that our kids were academically growing and getting ready for primary school. Overall, in recent years, the school has further enhanced the offering with breakfast club and late club. We love the fact that most of the pupils are from decent families in the local area and hence little kids (and parents) start friendships that shall go for many future years of their life. The nursery staff are experienced and provide excellent care for kids. They are also always ready to incorporate parents’ feedback. And one final thing to mention - the food (lunch menu) provided to the little children is an extensive 3 courses and of high quality.

Can't speak more highly for the school and nursery at Vita. My children loved the nursery in particular. The staff are all so caring and are really engaged with the children to help them develop. This stood out against other nurseries which did not have such a hands-on approach. There is a clear and
consistent pathway for children in the nursery who then want to move on to prep school. The facilities are great with space inside and outside. The rooms are clean and organised with lots of resources for children to explore. The Nursery Teacher in particular is worth the admission fee alone. She really does nurture children helping them to grow in their development and confidence.

We were initially attracted to Vita et Pax by the idea of smaller classes but it was at the open day that we really appreciated what a great place vita is. The students showing us around were so confident, polite, and articulate. They clearly loved the school. I remember thinking that I would like my
girls to turn out like the students who showed us around. Both my children attended the nursery, they couldn't wait to get into school each day. (This is still the case) As parents, we were impressed with the wide variety of activities our girls experienced and the range of subject areas covered. My girls were able to enjoy and explore great indoor and outdoor spaces and were taken care of by experienced and caring staff. The teacher's individual approach to my girls gave them the best possible start to their schooling, whilst the family atmosphere helped settle them into school quickly they have had and continue to have such a happy time at Vita et Pax.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.826)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.826) out of 10 for Vita et Pax Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.926 for Vita et Pax Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (100 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.926

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Vita et Pax Nursery is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 24 number of registered child places is 4.8, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

My journey at Vita has been deeply fulfilling, watching our school grow and evolve into a nurturing environment where children thrive, feel safe, and love to learn.


Throughout my time here, I’ve always believed that fostering a love for learning and promoting well-being are at the heart of education. As the Head of EYFS, DSL, and Wellbeing Lead, I strive to ensure that our youngest learners develop a strong foundation based on the values of care, sharing, and fairness. I work closely with my exceptional team to provide a high standard of teaching that is child-centered and encourages every child to express their understanding with both their peers and the adults in the setting.


Over the years, I have seen children grow into confident, thoughtful and successful individuals. It’s an honour to see the children of my former students now walking through the doors of our nursery, which speaks volumes about the lasting impact we have on families and the trust they place in us. The bond we share with our school community is priceless, and I am immensely proud to be a driving force behind such a dedicated and passionate team.


At Vita et Pax, we embrace the belief that although we may all be different, we are all equal. I am excited to continue contributing to the growth and success of our school, fostering an environment where every child feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.
