How will places at the nursery and children’s centre be allocated?

Nursery Places:

Some nursery places will be for children who are supported by children’s social care as is the case at all in-house nurseries. The remainder, the vast majority of places, will be allocated on a first come/first served basis. The recent Childcare Sufficiency Assessment showed us that there is a need for more nursery places for 0-2’s in the World’s End area of the borough and this, too, drove our ambition to establish a new and much needed facility in the vicinity.
Children’s Centre services
All families living in the south of the borough who are expecting a baby or have children under five will have access to the services delivered from the site. There will be a particular focus on the first 1001 days of life – expectant parents and children up to the age of two years old. Access will be via referral or open access.  There will also be the opportunity to support the whole family as part of the wider Family Hub model.
Will the new homes be offered at social rent?
Yes, all homes on this site are to be offered at social rent.
What is "social rent"?
All residential units will be offered at social rent (affordable housing for rent). Kensington and Chelsea Council will retain ownership of all the properties.
What is the existing social housing situation in Kensington and Chelsea?


There is a severe shortage of social homes in the borough and while demand rises every year, the number of available vacancies gets smaller. Even high-priority applicants are likely to have to wait five years for a home, or even longer for three-bedroom and larger properties. As part of our brief we would looking to prioritise two and three bed social rent family homes to meet the needs we have.
