Ambler Children's Centre and Extended School
Ambler Children's Centre is set in the grounds of Ambler Primary School at the northern end of Blackstock Road, near Finsbury Park. Access to Ambler Children's Centre is via its own entrance on Romilly Road, at the rear of the property.
The Children's Centre provides day care integrated with early education for children aged 6 months to 5 years, all the way to the end of reception class. Term-time only places are also available.
In addition, Ambler Children's Centre provides family support, health services and activities to enhance wellbeing. Our Stay and Plays run throughout the week, providing for children under 1 separately. Baby signing and song and rhyme sessions happen within the Stay and Plays. Please call for details. As a result of sharing space and resources with the school, we are able to offer ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) classes with a crèche. Ambler is a welcoming community with something for all families.

Phone the Children's Centre. The Children's Centre is a popular nursery and has to prioritise places depending on whether the child is: at risk or in need; has special educational needs; lives in Islington; lives close to the nursery; is the right age for the space available; has parents who are working or studying full-time. The nursery does not prioritise children because they have been on the waiting list for a long time.
