Who we are
A warm, Ofsted Outstanding nursery in the heart of Barnet — where every child is known, valued and celebrated.
Our story
Alban Preschool has been nurturing young minds in Barnet since 2017, operating from our home at Christchurch, Pennefather Hall on St Albans Road.
We believe children learn best in a safe and positive environment. Children are at the heart of everything we do — learning at their own pace, with the support they need to flourish.
We will treat and care for your children as if they were our own.
Our vision
Every child has a place here. We offer a safe, happy environment where everyone is known and every need is met.
We encourage independence, resilience and a genuine sense of wonder — laying the foundation for all future learning.
We see parents as their child's first educators. Together, we build a rich partnership that weaves home and nursery life.

Community programme
Every second Monday in term time, a group of our children visit elderly members at the Chipping Barnet day centre for games, singing and friendship.
There is nothing quite like this at any other nursery in Barnet. It teaches empathy, respect and community — and the older members love it just as much as the children do.
