Our Story
“The joy of life comes with the acceptance and pride of our roots.”
Founded in 1999, Peques has spent 27 years building a community where children from every background feel genuinely valued. Our trilingual, child-led approach is grounded in the belief that when children are nurtured with warmth, consistency, and cultural richness, they thrive in every sense.
Our Approach
Everything we do is shaped by a holistic philosophy - nurturing the whole child, not simply school-readiness.
English, Spanish, and Mandarin woven naturally into every day. Children absorb languages effortlessly at this age - we make the most of that remarkable window of opportunity.
We support the whole child: emotional, physical, and cognitive. Our child-led model follows each child’s individual pace, guided by a highly qualified and caring team.
Natural materials, recycled resources, and a genuine focus on the outdoors. Imagination, curiosity, and creativity flourish in spaces designed to feel warm and like home.
Our in-house chef and 5-star kitchen provide fresh, balanced meals throughout the day. We take nutrition as seriously as learning - because the two are inseparable.
Our Locations

Parent Voices
Our community is the heart of everything we do. Here is what some of our parents share about their experience at Peques.
Our daughter has been at Peques since she was two years old. The trilingual environment has been transformative - she moves between languages with complete confidence and an ease that astonishes everyone who meets her.
What sets Peques apart is the warmth. You can feel it the moment you walk through the door. The team knows every child individually, and that personal connection makes all the difference.
The Peques approach to learning is genuinely child-led. Our son arrives each morning excited, and comes home each afternoon having explored something new. As parents, we could not ask for more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about life at Peques — our trilingual approach, fees and funding, food, and how to arrange a visit.
We welcome children from 3 months to 5 years across both of our settings, with rooms and routines thoughtfully tailored to each stage of development.
We are open Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 6:00pm, for 50 weeks of the year. Our extended calendar is designed with working families in mind, closing only for a short period over Christmas and bank holidays.
We have two settings in the heart of Fulham: Peques Fulham Broadway on North End Road (SW6 1PB) and Peques Parsons Green on Dawes Road (SW6 7EG). Both are within easy reach of local transport links.
We follow the OPOL method, One Person, One Language. Each educator speaks only their native language, whether English, Spanish or Mandarin, so children absorb all three naturally through play, routines and genuine relationships rather than formal lessons.
No, and this is one of the most researched questions in bilingual education. Professor Colin Baker of Bangor University, one of the world's leading authorities on childhood bilingualism, describes the One Person, One Language approach as a well-documented and successful route to bilingualism, precisely because each language is anchored to a familiar person. The method itself dates back over a century, and research has linked it to children's early language awareness. At Peques, every educator speaks only their native language, so children learn to associate each language with a trusted adult and absorb all three naturally, just as they would in a multilingual family.
No. The majority of our families speak only English at home. All language learning happens naturally at nursery, and we share songs, vocabulary and ideas so you can enjoy the journey together if you wish.
Our full day rate is £115. We ask for a minimum of three full days per week, as consistency is essential for young children to settle, form secure attachments and benefit fully from our trilingual environment.
Yes. We offer the funded entitlements for eligible families, including 30 hours for children from 9 months and 15 hours for all 3 and 4 year olds, with a meal supplement applied. Please note that we do not offer term-time only places, although we do have a limited number of funded-only places of 10 or 20 hours per week. Our team will happily talk you through how the funding works alongside your chosen sessions and advise on current availability.
Beautifully. Each of our nurseries has its own chef, preparing fresh, nutritious meals on site every day in our five-star rated kitchens, guided by our children's nutrition programme. Individual dietary requirements and allergies are discussed carefully with our team at registration.
Elio is our website's chat assistant, available at any time of day. He can instantly answer questions about our fees and sessions, our trilingual approach, government funding, our two settings, admissions and how to arrange a visit. Elio cannot confirm registrations or start dates, discuss individual children or families, handle complaints, or give medical advice; for anything of that nature, our Head Office team will be delighted to help personally on 0207 385 0055 or at headoffice@peques.co.uk. Please note that Elio's responses are AI generated, so while he is carefully guided by us, his answers are for general information and may occasionally be imperfect. Anything important should always be confirmed with our team.
We would love to show you around. You can book a visit through our contact page, call us on 0207 385 0055, or email registrations@peques.co.uk, and our team will guide you through availability and next steps.
