Nurturing an International Generation — 27 years of trilingual early years excellence in the heart of Fulham.
Our Story
Peques was established in September 1999 as a small sessional nursery in Fulham. Since then it has grown into two settings and pursues a policy of progressive improvement, evolving with the times. Both nurseries are multilingual full day care facilities delivering the Early Years Foundation Stage in English, Spanish and Mandarin, whilst practising the same ethos and philosophy.
Our vision is a world where children are encouraged to unlock their inner potential, flourish from within and lead the way.
Children are protagonists of their own future. We as teachers are merely their facilitators.
Our Mission
We acknowledge that parents are the children’s primary educators and we work in partnership with them in every aspect of their early years education.
We consider that a child’s education is not exclusive to the home or school environment and therefore take a holistic approach to include all aspects of their learning experiences.
We fully acknowledge our own origins and respect the dignity of our children and their diverse customs and cultures. Only by looking at our own roots with love can we teach our children to create their own path and look towards the future with confidence.

The Founder’s Story
Since 1999 I have seen many children passing through our nurseries and due to evolution the difference is incredible — from the child of then to the child of today.
Thanks to globalisation and the way we are living in the world today, children are not the same as 10 or 15 years ago.
This is a direct effect of scientific and technological changes, the understanding of the world as a global village where there are no boundaries in communications, the discovery of horizons that until recently were unknown, and the recognition of children as citizens of the planet. As professionals it is imperative to work alongside children, enabling them to develop as whole, autonomous and capable people — enhancing their skills and innate talents; skills that enable them to deal with the future as happy and fulfilled adults.
The early years of children are central to the development of their skills, their identity and emotional security.
Through the various branches of child psychology, we now know that personality, motor activity, social relationships and future trends develop during the first five years of life — the stage in which the adult child becomes auto defined.
Therefore, it is necessary to give children a quality early childhood education where children feel and are the protagonists of their own learning.
Our philosophy is based on guiding children and extracting their creativity from within, as opposed to inserting information into their precious little minds and simply telling them what to do.
Choosing the perfect nursery to fit your child and your aspirations as a parent is probably one of the most important decisions you will make in your life — and we are here to help you.

The Operations Director’s Story
Peques has been part of my life since the very beginning — I was the first child through the door when my mother founded the nursery in 1999. Growing up bilingual, surrounded by the warmth and richness that Peques created, shaped who I am. Now, as Operations Director, I have the privilege of leading the teams across both settings and ensuring that the values and standards my mother built from the ground up continue to define every child’s experience.
What fills me with the greatest joy is that my own son is now part of the Peques family. Watching him learn, grow and thrive in this environment — developing his individuality, languages becoming second nature without even realising it, benefiting from everything Peques has to offer — gives me an enormous sense of peace and pride. I lived it as a child. Now I get to give it to mine.
