Nordic Star by FinlandWay® launching in 2022, is bringing Finnish early years education to London. With an aim of expanding to 10-15 new nurseries in the next five years, Nordic Star intend on creating spaces where London children can be active agents of their own learning and gain important 21st century skills.

Leading the way to better early childhood education

There has been a lot of discussion about early childhood education and development in the UK recently, with even the Duchess of Cambridge launching The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood. Their aim is “to drive awareness of and action on the extraordinary impact of the early years, in order to transform society for generations to come.”

Finland is world-known for its excellence in early childhood education, placing the child in the centre of learning and thriving for lifelong learning. Therefore, it’s a unique offering in the market - combining the Finnish curriculum with Early years foundation stage (EYFS).

“We believe that there is a growing demand for alternative early learning solutions in the UK with parents looking for the best for their children. Nordic Star will lead the way in improving outcomes for children through building their resilience, independence, and curiosity. While upskilling our staff and offering the most thoughtful employee package, fostering a community of respect and kindness for all the team.”
says the CEO of Nordic Star by FinlandWay®, Alice McNair.

Ideal location in central London

The first Nordic Star nursery in the country is set to open in Islington in March 2022.

Based on Finland’s National Curriculum for early childhood education, Nordic Star is designed to meet the needs of children aged 3 months to 5 years. Classrooms will be multi-purpose and scalable for various different activities. Nordic Star aim to bring a bit of outdoors in with neutral wooden furniture and green features, as well as an indoor garden for planting vegetables and flowers.
