About our nurseries

Across all 21 community, workplace and Children’s Centre nurseries that are the real heart of what we do, our number one priority is to make sure every child is happy, stimulated and having fun - looking forward with excitement to a range of new adventures every day. And because we’re a registered Charity and Social Enterprise, we do everything we can to make our high quality childcare accessible for everyone.

We offer:

  • Community locations: we have 21 Ofsted-registered nurseries in Barking & Dagenham, Camden, Kensington & Chelsea, Tower Hamlets and Westminster
  • Convenient opening hours: our nurseries are open between 8am and 6pm, Monday to Friday, 51 weeks of the year (we only close for staff training two days each year, and Public Holidays including Christmas to New Year)
  • Fair fees: we do everything we can to help you access our high quality childcare
  • A safe, friendly environment: our professional and caring staff work hard to make sure your child feels welcomed and nurtured from day one
  • A rich, creative curriculum designed to help children reach their potential. There’s lots of learning through play and a focus on developing social, physical and communication skills
