About

Edith Kerrison Nursery School and Childrens Centre will work together with you to give your child the best start in life through nurturing their well-being and enabling them to become confident, creative and resilient learners.

We are located in Custom House where we have been established as a state-maintained nursery school for over 90 years and our Childrens Centre is the lead centre for Custom House and Canning Town. Some of our families bring East End traditions to Edith Kerrison, whilst others bring global experiences. We believe together we are a stronger community.

We have a talented multi-disciplinary team of teachers, educators, outreach and family support workers to help our community on its learning journey. We work in partnership with other professionals including speech therapists, health visitors, nutritionists, special needs workers and return-to-work officers.

We want to make a difference together to ensure your childs time here is a happy and successful one.
