A nursery on Margravine Road, two minutes from the tube
If you live near Barons Court, chances are your morning involves the District or Piccadilly line, a coffee from somewhere on North End Road, and a drop-off that needs to work like clockwork. Blooming Years is right there on Margravine Road, one of those quiet residential streets that feels a world away from the station even though it is barely a minute's walk. If you would like to come and have a look around, we would love to show you what a day here actually looks like.
Why families choose us
Our approach
What tends to strike parents first about Blooming Years is that the rooms feel genuinely thought through. Every space is set up to help children work things out for themselves, not to sit and be told what to do next. We are not interested in turning out children who follow instructions well. We want children who trust their own instincts, who can make a decision, who feel confident enough to try something and see what happens. That is not something you can teach in a circle time. It comes from the environment, the interactions, the way the whole day is structured around independence.
In practice
Settling in is taken seriously here. Every child starts gradually, with parents present at first, and sessions build week by week at a pace that suits your child rather than our timetable. We hold a proper one-to-one with you each term to talk through how your child is getting on, and if something happens during the day, you hear about it the same day with a clear explanation. We accept 15 and 30 hours funded childcare. We are Ofsted registered and look forward to welcoming our first inspection, which we're confident will match or beat the Good ratings across our other nurseries.
For families in Barons Court
Barons Court tends to attract families who are organised, often commuting into the City or the West End, and who want a nursery that respects that their morning has a lot riding on it. Having a nursery this close to Barons Court station means the drop-off can be a calm part of the routine rather than a scramble. We see a lot of parents who appreciate knowing exactly what their child's day will look like, and who want to feel genuinely in the loop rather than handed a report at the end of term.

Getting here
Blooming Years is on Margravine Road, which runs parallel to Barons Court Road and is about a two-minute walk from Barons Court tube station on the District and Piccadilly lines. If you come from the West Kensington direction, you can walk down North End Road and cut across, which takes around five minutes. For parents heading into central London after drop-off, the station is close enough that the whole handover can sit neatly inside a normal morning commute.

Things parents ask us
Common questions
We are just a short walk from Barons Court tube station, which sits on both the District and Piccadilly lines, making the drop-off straightforward whether you are heading into central London or across West London. The address is 2 Margravine Road, W6 8HL, and most families find the journey from the station takes no more than a few minutes on foot. It is one of the reasons this location works so well for commuting parents who need a nursery that fits around a busy morning.
Yes, we accept both the 15-hour universal entitlement and the 30-hour extended funding for eligible families. The 15 hours is available to all three and four year olds in England, while the 30 hours is available to families where parents meet the government's working hours and earnings thresholds. Funding can be used across term time or stretched over the full year, and we are happy to talk through how it applies to your specific situation when you get in touch.
We care for children from 3 months through to 5 years, so we can be with your family from the very early days right through to school age. Places, particularly for babies, do fill up ahead of time, so we would encourage you to register your interest as early as you can, even during pregnancy. We allocate places based on when enquiries come in alongside any sibling priority, and we will always be honest with you about availability rather than keep you waiting without a clear picture.
We are Ofsted registered and look forward to welcoming our first inspection, which we are confident will match or beat the Good ratings across our other nurseries. Being registered means we meet the required standards set by Ofsted to operate legally and safely, and our team follows the same curriculum and safeguarding practices that have earned strong ratings at our other settings. We understand that parents want reassurance, and we are always open to questions about how we work and what we do day to day.
When you come for a visit, we will show you around the nursery, introduce you to the key people your child would spend time with, and give you a proper chance to ask questions without feeling rushed. If you decide to go ahead, we use a gradual settling-in process where your child comes in for short sessions at first, building up over a week or two depending on how they are finding it. We take our cues from the child and keep you closely involved throughout, because a settled child makes for a much happier experience for everyone.
