Making the Most of London

At Children's House Nursery School we know how powerful it is to take our children out on trips in London.
Where possible, we take parents/carers too! We understand how navigating public transport alone with young children can be overwhelming. So we help take the strain by coming along in small groups and supporting each other. 

This week Shazna and Salma took a group to The Natural History Museum in South Kensington.
It is 17 stops on the District or Circle Line from Bromley by Bow.
No changing and we travel at times when it is less busy (avoid rush hour!)  Children took packed lunches with them and once there, the museum is FREE to enter.
How lucky are we in London to have access to so many museums and galleries for free?
From Hope, the HUGE Blue Whale skeleton which greets you in the entrance hall, to fossils, nature and the world, The Natural History Museum is a great day out. Children spent time exploring and observing, asking questions, learning facts and information. 
They saw dinosaurs, mammals, skeletons and the sheer size of them is what is utterly breathtaking.
​
Also nearby is The Science Museum and The Victoria and Albert Museum - all of them are free to enter. 
Over the summer, you can keep costs down by bringing a packed lunch and drinks, a picnic rug and making a day of it!
From Bow to Kensington - one train - 45 minutes!
