House of Kin were approached by Miss Daisy’s nursery group because its Belgravia site, nestled between two grand buildings, far from matched up to the standard of childcare provided.

A warren of badly planned rooms, leaking extensions and neglected upper floors, it was calling out for some HoK TLC!

Our concept for the space was a forest school at the edge of a village and so the building now features forest greens and muted pinks for the forest clearing-style classroom and arched mossy library.

One of our biggest challenges was the lack of outdoor space. We worked with specialists to remove walls and floors and to install a 7-metre play structure inspired by brick pottery ovens.

The project was so well received that we’ve since been asked back to complete another three Miss Daisy sites around London.
