what people say ...


“As one of the first new Children's Centres in the Borough, Archway has taken a modern, family-oriented approach, placing great emphasis on the quality of the physical environment.”

Islington Council

“ I am absolutely delighted with the building! The pictures actually don't do it justice. Kay Hartmann, our architect, has been brilliant at creating spaces that meet our needs but also challenge us to work in creative ways - in short: creating learning environments rather than class rooms. The building is so flexible. The space he has created for us is full of light - everyone comments on how good the building makes them feel.”

Head teacher at the Archway Children's Centre

“A little colour and a great deal of imagination transform the interior of Hargrave Park School into a vibrant learning environment...it is an excellent example of how to create a modern learning environment in a historic building…”

Ian Dungawell, Director of the Victorian Society

“…I think the baby room is gorgeous and the architect has done extremely well to incorporate all the main features- plenty of light, a sense of space and views out for the children to connect them to the wider world…”

Head of Islington Early Years Service about the Archway Early Years Centre

“After a long weekend, all our stuff is finally in - and the space feels wonderful!”
