Holland Park Families

At Holland Park we know how important it is to have a fun and nurturing environment where family members of all ages from babies to teenagers can join in and enjoy learning about their history. We also know how important it is that we teach our children from a young age about the importance of their Jewish identity.

We run lots of events to make this possible for all families who join us. We have weekly childrens services giving the children a chance to learn more about their Jewish identity. We have many more family events including Friday night dinners, volunteering events and parties throughout the year.

To find out more about these events please contact the Synagogue office.

YOHO

YOHO is an amazing place where we create lots of meaningful connections and enjoy many wonderful days and evenings together celebrating our heritage, customs and love for our community.

YOHO provides a loving and caring environment for all our children to be together and have fun social nights out and also celebrate Festivals and Shabbat together.

School Visits

Many local schools take the opportunity to teach their students about Judaism and some of our Festivals and customs.

We are delighted to host schools in the Synagogue, giving students the opportunity to have a guided tour of the Synagogue and ask any questions about what they have seen or from what they have previously learnt.

Kerens Nursery

A Home Away From Home in Holland Park

Keren’s Nursery in Holland Park Synagogue is one of three nurseries in this husband-and-wife run chain, and is graded as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted. This group of nurseries is well known for offering a loving home away from home environment to pre-schoolers across London since 2004. Here at Holland Park, it is no different. The setting is noticeably warm and nurturing. The building has undergone extensive refurbishment thanks to the nursery, and now accommodates a maximum of four classes to care for up to 60 children from the age of 10 months until rising 5 years.

Our Goals

The nursery works towards achieving three goals in preparation for school life: • Developing social skills • Improving independence • Increasing self-esteem and self-confidence. A traditional Jewish ethos is at the heart of the nursery. Activities follow the Jewish calendar, set against a multi-cultural context reflecting our local community. Kabbalat Shabbat takes place every week, and children learn Hebrew alongside a monthly rotation of other languages such as French, Russian, Portuguese and Makaton. Activities run by peripatetic visiting teachers include movement and dance, music and sport. Children enjoy outdoor play daily in our two on-site gardens, as well as having daily play in the tranquil private gardens of St James’s Square and local parks. Fresh Kosher dairy meals are prepared daily on site by our in-house cook. The nursery is ideal for working parents, and offers flexible options for extended hours and long terms. Mid-term entry may be available on request, please call for details.
