WELCOME TO TLC
TLC is the only Jewish nursery in NW London which is open all year round and all day providing both Jewish and chol education.
We provide the highest standard of nursery care and excellent service in a loving and fun environment in our 5 rooms at Ner Yisrael, Hendon
We started the nursery primarily to cater for children whose working parents required longer hours of care for their children with longer days and fewer holidays, however, we are here for everyone.
Kodesh and Jewish education
We teach and involve every child – from our youngest babies to our oldest Pre-schoolers – in a full curriculum of Kodesh content.
From the earliest of ages our children learn about every aspect of Jewish life including, Parsha of the week, Yom Tov/Chaggim and special days, Berachos and bensching, Shabbos party on Fridays, Aleph-Beis writing and reading. We often link our Kodesh together with the EYFS curriculum
Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
As an Ofsted registered nursery, we run our nursery in line with the early years foundation stage (EYFS) for the learning, development and care of our children from birth to 5 years old. The areas of learning mean that our children will mostly be taught through games and play. Those areas of learning are communication and language, physical development, personal, social and emotional development, literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, expressive arts and design
Because of the assessments we undertake under the EYFS, our children’s progress will be reviewed both regularly and naturally by our experienced staff when they are aged 2 to 3
We play a primary role in recognising and understanding each child’s development and we will liaise with the parents in a loving and caring way throughout their stay

TLC has 5 rooms for children aged between 8 months and <3 years old at the beginning of each new school year
