An award-winning preschool from Asia is set to make waves in the UK early childhood education sector, as Odyssey The Global Preschool announces the opening of its first London campus in Marylebone, April 2025.
With a unique ‘limitless learning’ approach, Odyssey is bringing a fresh and global perspective to early years education, offering parents an opportunity to nurture future-ready, world citizens.
What is Odyssey The Global Preschool?
Odyssey is an established and highly acclaimed Reggio Emilia-inspired preschool with multiple campuses in Singapore and Malaysia. Known for its child-centered learning philosophy and focus on holistic development, Odyssey provides an innovative environment where children aged 0-5 can explore, create, and grow at their own pace.
With a £2 million investment in its first UK location, Odyssey is set to redefine preschool education in London by offering a bespoke curriculum, multilingual learning opportunities, and hands-on experiential learning.
A Unique Learning Experience in Marylebone
The grade two listed Marylebone campus will feature state-of-the-art facilities designed to foster creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. Key highlights include:
Atelier Art Room & Music Studio: Dedicated mentors to guide children through immersive artistic and musical explorations.
Outdoor ‘Grow Your Own’ Garden & Climbing Wall: Encouraging movement, outdoor play, and sustainable learning.
La Cucina Cookery Station: An in-house chef curating a menu of nutritionally balanced, culturally diverse meals for young learners.
Odyssey London will be led by highly qualified early childhood educators from its Singapore campuses, ensuring that the same award-winning education standards are upheld.
A Curriculum Designed for 21st Century Learners
Odyssey’s teaching methodology is built on four key principles:
Communicating: Developing strong linguistic and social skills.
Collaborating: Encouraging teamwork and relationship-building.
Critical Thinking: Nurturing problem-solving and decision-making abilities.
Creativity: Allowing self-expression through arts, music, and storytelling.
The learning journey is divided into three distinct stages:
Bambino Odyssey (Infants)
Odyssey Toddlers (Young Explorers)
Odyssey Preschool (Kindergarten Readiness)
A standout feature of the curriculum is ‘Stretchers’, a concept that uses storytelling and real-life experiences to expand a child’s imagination and cognitive abilities. The inclusion of foreign languages, music, and cooking further enriches the curriculum, providing children with early exposure to global cultures.
Why Parents in London Will Love Odyssey
According to Angela Ang, Head of School at Odyssey London, there is a growing demand for a progressive, global approach to early years education.
She states:
“Our extensive research shows a real desire for a nursery and preschool brand that focuses on an innovative curriculum to help children be citizens of the world from the very first step of their learning journey. We believe we have a unique and unrivaled offering and cannot wait to open the doors to curious families interested in a truly global learning experience.”
With registrations now open for its inaugural intake in April 2025, Odyssey is already generating high levels of interest from London parents who want their children to thrive in a multicultural, curiosity-driven learning environment.
