Steiner and Waldorf nurseries in London
22 nurseriesupdated November 2026
A Steiner Waldorf nursery, often called a kindergarten, follows the educational ideas of Rudolf Steiner. Days follow a calm, predictable rhythm of free play, songs, stories, baking, gardening and seasonal festivals, with simple toys made from wood, wool and cloth and plenty of time outdoors. Formal teaching of reading and writing is usually left until later. In England, Steiner settings are registered with Ofsted and work within the Early Years Foundation Stage.
