Huili Nursery Hangzhou believes that every child has the right to a well-planned, joyful and holistic education. Early years education has a lifelong impact on how young children view and value learning. Key to our educational ethos is full commitment to the Nursery, with staff, children and parents all playing their parts in creating and maintaining a truly unique and vibrant atmosphere. Huili Nursery Hangzhou staff are committed in encouraging their students to embrace a wide range of experiences, and to foster in them Huili Values and the Huili Identity.

 Huili Nursery Hangzhou is situated on the Wellington College Hangzhou campus, which campus covers over 74,000 square meters and hosts a range of custom-built, state-of-the-art facilities that provide pupils with access to the very best academic and co-curricular opportunities. The Nursery building is self-contained and provides customised facilities for children in an Early Years setting.
