What is a nursery school for the “global elite”? It’s certainly not a phrase I’ve ever used to describe mad toddlers. But perusing the brochure of a new £35,000 a year preschool in West London called The Odyssey, whose campus cost £2million to build and kit, you immediately understand that you’re in a different world.
Finger painting and fish fingers, this is not. An alternative universe where kitchens are transformed into “cucinas”, art rooms are “ateliers”, and children’s music lessons become “bambino soundscapes”.
