About us

Family-run, and proud of it

An established and growing nursery group that still feels personal - because it is.

Olivia Board, founder of All A-Board

Our story

As a mum in Bexley, I found there was limited space for our children to explore, somewhere safe for celebrations, or simply somewhere to escape the house for an hour without spending a fortune. So I designed a Tiny Town.

Placements into nursery were another thing I struggled with - you just get that feeling when you know it's right. Having worked in nurseries and had my own key children, I know how precious the bond between a key person and their child is. I wanted a nursery with a close, family feel that still helps every child hit their EYFS milestones.

Everything here - the designs, the colours, the safety - has been tested by my own daughter and chosen with a mother's eye. I look forward to welcoming you into our All A-Board world.
