‘Children are extremely happy and thrive in this nursery, which is highly effective and inspiring.’ Ofsted
Rated Outstanding by Ofsted, Camberwell Grove Nursery and Pre-School provides Early Years education and childcare to children from birth to 5 years old.
You can find us in Camberwell, close to Denmark Hill and East Dulwich stations. We’re a bright, spacious nursery with a large garden.
Our caring, qualified staff use imaginative play to stimulate each child’s curiosity. Activities include yoga and PE, singing and signing nursery rhymes, messy arts play, cooking, construction and much more. We aim to be a sustainable nursery and have our very own allotment on-site, where the children enjoy growing vegetables.
Parents and carers are invited to attend regular advisory groups at Camberwell Grove.
The nursery’s chef prepares home-cooked meals and snacks for the children from LEYF’s nutritious menu.
