Award winning, holistic nursery & preschool in Hackney
Welcome to Maisie Poppins.
Shiraz is the Director and Ofsted registered person for Maisie Poppins Nursery & Pre-School, he has a Level 3 Childcare Diploma and has been working full time in the field of childcare since August 2016 as the Founder of Firstdaynursery located in Ilford.
At Maisie Poppins, we follow ‘The Maisie Poppins Way: An Early Years Ecosystem’ which is a holistic approach/ethos and educational framework (pedagogy) that accounts for all aspects of nursery & preschool life as a holistic ecosystem.
It draws on a wide range of methodologies including early years educational frameworks, evidence-based research, neuroscience, forest school philosophy, the writings of Maria Montessori, Erik Erikson, Jean Piaget, ‘High Scope early years conflict resolution’, child & family psychology, the ‘Solihull approach’ and Lev Vygotsky.
This ethos and pedagogy creates a positive and nurturing environment that allows every child’s strengths and qualities to shine and a child’s differences and unique needs to be embraced and celebrated.

Education
Our child-led approach nurtures emerging passions and interests so that learning becomes a pleasure not a chore. Our lessons take place in both our inside and outside spaces.
Partnership working
Building authentic partnerships between parents and our Maisie Poppins staff team is at the heart of what we do. We listen to you and work with you to enable your son or daughter’s childhood the best it can be.
Each child has a dedicated key/co worker who builds a relationship with your child, you, your family members and any other associated carers. ‘Daily Diary’ handovers by your child’s key worker ensure golden moments are recounted faithfully along with any other significant events.
We use first class safe and secure software to enable circular communication between family and our setting to enable a daily meaningful, useful and enjoyable exchange.
Our relationship with you is central to what we do and all staff can be direct messaged at anytime using this software. Photos are shared daily within the Daily Diary sent through the app and professional educational observations are carried out for your child every 3 weeks. Any developmental differences, gaps in learning and areas of excellence are swiftly captured and fed back to you appropriately with careful planning in partnership.
We know that having a network of like-minded parents around you makes a huge difference to positive parentings, our software enables parents mean to make as many new friends as your children will. We think community is very important.
