Chelsea Open Air Nursery School

The founders chose the current building at 51 Glebe Place which was an historic artisan’s cottage dating from the 1500s combined with a large artist’s studio and garden. The cottage was restructured to include a washroom, toilets, a kitchen, a shed for prams and skylights in the ceiling. New lighting, heating and wash basins with hot and cold taps were also installed. The children quickly became used to playing outdoors in all weather conditions whilst indoors the rooms were never heated to more than 13 degrees centigrade, the ideal temperature for active children.
