The Mall Prep School opens first early years provision

The Mall Nursery opens this week, in conjunction with Toddleworld Nursery Management Ltd.

Working with Toddleworld Nursery Management Ltd, The Mall School Twickenham has opened their first nursery in Twickenham, providing all year-round care and education for children aged 6 months until they start reception.  Located on Hampton Road, in a large detached building with an impressive 750 square metres of outdoor space, the new nursery is only a few minutes’ walk from Twickenham Green and Strawberry Hill train station.

The Mall Nursery is managed by Neetha Madrira, who brings over twenty years’ experience of working in nurseries. The nursery rooms are split over three floors and benefit from high ceilings and large windows, creating light and airy spaces for children to play and learn. Neetha and the team have created an environment that allows children to lead their own play and express their natural curiosity.

The new 70 place nursery, at 84 Hampton Road, Twickenham, TW2 5QS, opened its doors for the first time on 20th September 2022. Many families have already registered their children and there is a staff team of 10 currently in place. For recruitment enquiries, candidates can email their CV to Neetha at [email protected]

A launch event on 24th September 2022 marks the opening of the nursery and provides families with an opportunity to tour the building, meet the team and receive a discounted registration fee.

The new nursery is co-educational, with all children guaranteed a place in Reception at The Mall School, which in September 2023 will welcome girls into the school. The move to co-education will be phased in gradually starting with Reception entry in September 2023, and will be completed across all year groups by September 2029. Transfer into the school is optional and the school’s Head of Early Years will work closely with the Nursery Manager to ensure a smooth and successful transition for all the nursery children into their next school.   


With the school’s new day nursery opening in September 2022, The Mall will now offer an excellent education across 50 weeks of the year for children aged 6 months to 11 years.

Parents interested in registering their children can contact Neetha on [email protected] or visit The Nursery at the Mall. Level 3 Qualified Early Years Practitioners interested in joining The Mall Nursery team can use the above email address to submit their CV.

The team at Toddleworld Nursery Management runs several sites in the South East, with more due to open later this year and next. This well-established nursery group launched a franchising service in 2020, which aims to support owners to run their own nursery business.  

Eamonn O’Connor, managing director of Toddleworld Nursery Management commented: “We are delighted to work with the prestigious and highly respected Mall School. The school’s friendly and supportive community, where children’s natural curiosity is inspired and a lifelong love of learning is developed presents a natural synergy with the Toddleworld approach to early years care and education. We are thrilled with the transformation of 84 Hampton Road and the team in place at the nursery”.

David Price, Headmaster of The Mall School said: “We are very pleased to be expanding our provision to nursery level and offering all local parents a new choice for their child’s nursery education. We believe The Mall Nursery will provide a vibrant, stimulating, safe environment with a family oriented atmosphere where children will become confident, happy and independent learners.”
