Space Syntax provides creative expertise in architecture & urban planning. Operating worldwide, we combine global design experience with advanced digital technologies. Our unique modelling tools forecast the social, economic & environmental impacts of development on mobility, land value & health at all scales. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMPANY HISTORY Space syntax theory and technology were pioneered in the 1970s and 1980s by Professors Bill Hillier, Julienne Hanson, Alan Penn and colleagues at The Bartlett, University College London. The space syntax approach was conceived to help simulate the likely effects of designs on the people who occupied and moved around in them, be they buildings or urban settlements. It has since grown around the world in a variety of research areas and practical applications.  Space Syntax Limited was established on 17th July 1989 as an architectural consulting company with a mission to apply the space syntax approach in urban planning and design practice. In recent years, the company has established significant capacity in other related business ‘streams’, namely: Studio - acting as design lead on design projects, Research - carrying out funded and unfunded research projects, Training - providing training via online courses, Digital - building software-based planning and design tools and data products.  Space Syntax is a dynamic, growing and purpose-driven organisation, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. More than ever, the company is committed to making a positive impact in the context of key global challenges relating to public health, climate, ecology and social inequality.

We started our life as Mitchell Walk Playgroup. In June 2014 we became Holding Hands Pre-School and moved into our current setting. We gained our third consecutive outstanding OfSted rating in March 2018. We pride on ourselves in welcoming all children and families no matter what their ability, background and beliefs. We accept referrals from agencies such as Brokerage, Carers Bucks and Family Centres as well as applications directly from parents. We deliver a holistic educational and multi-sensory experience day by day by not only embracing our outside areas but also by delivering specifically designed small group and interventional activities encouraging emotional well being, speech and language and closing peer development gaps through early identification. We give our children every opportunity to discover their world. We encourage them to explore their environment in a safe supported way. We empower our children to be confident and challenge them to achieve their full potential offering thought provoking and physically enabling activities whilst embracing the beauty of our local Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Life is meant to be beautiful and the way we view it is everything. Our ethos is to help each other, praise each other, to empower children to believe in themselves and their abilities. We will develop strong, resilient and caring children with real confidence and real self-esteem. We encourage our children to manage their own emotions through mindfulness.
