An ‘enchanted land’ in the middle of London’s Kingsbury district, Enchanted Lands Day Nursery exists to offer a childhood experience where every day is a celebration of learning, belief, imagination, and growth. Set in a safe and nurturing environment where children can flourish, Enchanted Lands’ unique blend of education and fun has netted it the title of the Best Holistic Early Years Education Provider 2026 – London. On the back of this acclaim, its founder, Ela Konyardi, told us more about its encompassing approach to early years education. Award-winning Day Nursery in Kingsbury Children should love education – both when they are young and as they get older. This is why Enchanted Lands Day Nursery sees its role as being to inspire children at every stage of their early years education, be it through stimulating outdoor areas, cooperative play sessions, or creative activities. By prioritising these areas, the team here ensure that children reach their social, physical, and emotional milestones naturally during their time at their centre, reflecting a strong focus to deliver the best outcomes for every child. From its detached, single-storey building just a few minutes’ walk from both Kingsbury Station and Queensbury Station, Enchanted Lands offers two nursery rooms and an enclosed outdoor area. A homely environment, children from six months through to five years are welcome at the centre, which is filled with books, spaces, and activities to help them develop and learn through exploration and play. Their experiences are underpinned by the 9.9/10 score their parents have given the nursery on review site daynurseries.co.uk. Welcoming children into this family-oriented nursery is Ela, the mother of two children and an experienced early years professional. Having spent more than 15 years in these environments and been through it all with her own children, Ela knows the importance of offering a progressive and holistic early childhood education delivered in an enabling environment. Enchanted Lands is the embodiment of this vision, a space where the needs and interests of every child are fostered so that they may truly thrive. Guided by the belief that every child deserves an individual learning experience, Enchanted Lands delivers an approach combining the teachings of numerous pioneers in the field of early years, including Froebel, the man who first created the ‘kindergarten’ concept. With this approach to boot, Enchanted Lands offers a setting where every child’s uniqueness is celebrated, ensuring they are given all of tools they need to grow in both confidence and ability before progressing to the next stage of their journey. Beyond these areas discussed above, the nursery also nails all of the fundamentals, including promoting healthy and independent eating. Giving all children a morning and an afternoon snack, as well as breakfast and tea, the priority is to encourage them to explore new foods whilst making healthy choices. Some of the snacks foods offered to be eaten independently are broccoli, cauliflower, raw carrot/pepper sticks, and crackers and cheese. As laid out in its philosophy, Enchanted Lands is also determined to celebrate bilingualism and multilingualism across the nursery, preparing children for the multicultural world that awaits them in Kingsbury, the rest of London, and across the UK. Co-regulation and self-regulation are other focus areas for the team, and a big part of how these are achieved is by working cooperatively with parents. Integrating parents into every stage of a child’s early years education is key, and Enchanted Lands does exactly that. Another way in which parents are supported across the nursery is through Tapestry, an online learning journey system that allows parents to see what their children have been up to during their week at nursery. Safe and secure, this platform allows a child’s Key Person, who will be assigned to them when they first enrol, to ask parents for information on where the child is at with their learning and what they enjoy doing and playing with, allowing the team to take the necessary steps to see that they are always happy and supported. “At the end of your child’s time at nursery, we download their whole online learning journey for you to take away to share and remember their time with us.” With the government’s new scheme offering 30 hours of funded childcare for almost all children aged nine months to four years making childcare costs more affordable and nurseries more viable, Enchanted Lands Day Nursery is an exceptional place for parents looking to return to work and give their children the head start they need in education.
