Where little ones bloom
Welcome to Little VitaLittle Vita is the nursery arm of Vita et Pax Preparatory School, run as a standalone setting under the same governing body that has cared for families in Southgate since 1936.
Our nursery is a calm, well-resourced home-from-home — designed to give every child the time, attention and love they need to thrive. Children leave us confident, curious and ready for school, with happy memories of the people who looked after them.
Whether you join us for a few funded hours a week or for full wrap-around care, every family becomes part of the Little Vita community.

"My little one grew unhappy in her previous nursery so I moved her to Vita and she is thriving. The teachers here are kind and really understanding regarding the children's needs and circumstances. All my 3 children have been really happy here."
