Kensal House Day Nursery is situated on the Kensal House estate in west London. The estate was built in the 1930s in the modernist style. It provided a range of social and community facilities and was the first housing estate in the UK to incorporate its own day nursery.
Kensal House Nursery was forced to close in 1993 following too high renovation costs but it officially reopened on 29 June thanks to 600,000 of funding from the local council and the Sure Start North West Kensington Local Partnership.
The building has undergone a complete refurbishment, with new double glazing, new heating and disabled access.
