The Marmalade Duck | 2025 Detailed Profile (with Reviews)

A select group of outstanding nurseries recognised by Ofsted, The Marmalade Schools are located in West and South London. From Kensington to Balham, there are six schools, and they are all currently rated Outstanding by Ofsted. All families, both conventional and non-traditional, are welcome at The Marmalade Schools. We assist disabled people and families who speak English as a second language. In order to inspire all of the children in our care to desire to study and make progress in all of the important curriculum areas, we are passionate about giving them the very best start to their educational journey. When our kids show up at their new schools, we usually get word that they are proficient. We work hard to help and advise parents on which school would be ideal for their child because we have good relationships with the following ones.
Between the ages of 2 and 5 years, children are taught by skilled and experienced personnel, and we maintain high worker to child ratios at our nurseries. The Marmalade Schools are daycare facilities with separate morning and afternoon programmes each day. Additionally, morning children—who we refer to as Lunch Bunch—might have longer days. To ensure that they receive the greatest instruction possible in small groups, children are placed into groups according to their academic years.
