Sephardi community moves HQ and Beth Din to North London site
S&P Sephardi Community announces deal to host nursery at existing Lauderdale road office as it announces plans to move
The Spanish and Portuguese Sephardi community has agreed to host a nursery and is moving its headquarters to north London.
A lease agreement has been signed between the S&P’s Lauderdale Road community and a Jewish Independent Day Care Nursery, ‘La Petite Nursery’, who will occupy the movement’s existing office.
The Sephardi movement said the shift will bring in new young families to the community and to its campus.
The Lauderdale road office will relocating from its site in Ashworth Road, Maida Vale, to north London, with staff expecting to fully move into new premises by early may.
The Ashworth Road site will still host the offices of Senior Rabbi Joseph Dweck and other staff members while the move takes place. Other administrative roles of the existing site, including the Beth Din, will move to the new north London location.
Rabbi Dweck said: “The new nursery will be an invigorating new part of the Lauderdale Road campus which we welcome with open arms.
“The relocation of our administrative offices allows the S&P to work from a modern working space that is fit for purpose which will benefit every aspect of the community”
Sarah Zaoui of La Petit Nursery said: “I am thrilled and excited to offer this unique opportunity to the community: a premium and independent day care Jewish nursery located in the Maida Vale S&P premises. From September onwards, La Petite Nursery will give parents access to a place where their children can safely learn and grow in the utmost respect of Jewish values and traditions.”

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
