Spring Open Days

Spaces available from birth to 5 years.
Hither Green Nursery and Pre-School (formerly Lysth Nursery) provides Early Years education and childcare to children from birth to 5 years old. You can find us in Lewisham, a 10-minute walk from Lewisham or Hither Green Station. We are proud to be one of the newest additions to the LEYF family of high quality nurseries.
We’re a roomy nursery, with plenty of natural light and separate areas for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers. We have lots of space for all-weather outdoor play.
Children enjoy singing and signing nursery rhymes, maths, cooking, messy play and much more with our staff. The children are also champions of the local community and love to get out and about. We teach them how to be kind to people and to the planet. Our chef prepares healthy, balanced meals and snacks from our seasonal menu.
Meet the manager
Justina, nursery manager
Hello, my name is Justina. I have been the manager at Hither Green Nursery since June 2023, after transferring from another LEYF Nursery, where I worked for over 5 years. We have an experienced team of teachers who support the children to become inquisitive learners. Our nursery is in the heart of the community with a spacious garden for children to enjoy all-weather outdoor play.
