We are Opening The Doors to Our Amazing Nursery Join Us for Our Open Week In May

Our Environments

Lavender Hill Day Nursery offers its children exceptional environments, both indoors and outdoors. Our space has been optimally designed for childcare, brilliant layouts set-up to give each age group exactly what they need; a huge variety of resources to give the children the greatest breadth of opportunities and experiences

An example of the outstanding equipment at our nursery in Clapham Junction is the Community Playthings Nursery Gym that we have in our Babies & Toddlers Room. This is superb in encouraging physical development, helping our children gain bodily skills such as navigating steps, slides, tunnels, and bridges. This boosts their confidence in their abilities, facilitates independent decision-making, and allows them to develop trial-and-error problem-solving skills. What we love most about this piece of equipment is that it encourages all of these things in the children, whilst they have fun, play and develop their social skills too.

 Our outdoor environment is packed with great resources and equipment. We have all manner of facilities for our children to enjoy – a large sandpit where the older children love to imagine and create some masterpieces of sandy architecture, and our younger children enjoy getting to know the texture of this material. We have a Mud Kitchen where hands get dirty and recipes are created, a Growing Patch where fascination is evident at the vegetables forming before the children’s eyes.

There are dens and cosy areas for the children to enjoy relaxing alone or together – reading, chatting or having story time. We also have a large construction area – where we have various sizes of blocks as well as wheels – so the children can build a whole host of different things. Our outdoor environment is brilliantly stimulating.

What Our Parents Say

Very talented and caring staff. My son really loved this nursery. He learnt a lot in all aspects from communication, relationship building, being independent, to learning maths, shapes, letters, word, sentences etc. Really pleased with the development. Thanks to all the lovely staff, you are all the best.

Vaibhav H (Father of Child)

My daughter has been in the nursery since the Baby Room. It has been an incredible journey. Now she is in the pre-school and every day she is excited to go to the nursery. She loves the staff, her key worker, the other kids, the setting (especially the garden). She really enjoys all the activities organised through the week/day. She enjoys and has fun while learning. The staff encourage and support multilingual families making the kids feel proud they can speak more than one language. Now the staff are also getting her ready to go to school this September. The staff have always been amazing, very approachable, flexible and caring.

B C (Father of Child)

The staff are so kind and caring, they all know my daughter even those in different rooms. She skips in to see them every day and they are as excited as me when she does new things. It's a home away from home.

H G (Mother of Child)

I can't thank the staff enough for giving me peace of mind when my child is with them. The number and variety of activities each day is amazing and the fact they manage to get in the garden or go on trips - even in winter is fantastic. My child's development is streets ahead of his peers who don't attend nursery.

S H (Mother of Child)

The nursery has a lovely nurturing and vibrant atmosphere which my son loves. There is plenty of space for him to explore and learn via the vast range of toys and equipment they have. I know he is well cared for. I am always well informed and I work together with the nursery staff to give my son the best possible experience.

Claire F (Mother of Child) 

The care, consideration and attention my son receives is exemplary. Staff pay attention to his strengths and weaknesses and verbalise them to us and ideas for developing them are implemented. All staff demonstrate an excellent attitude and have excellent relationships with their designated children.

A D (Father of Child)

The staff were warm, caring and professional and the facilities are great. We felt like our daughter was part of a big family. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all working there.

E S (Mother of Child)

I have been impressed by the level of care given to my son since he started. The daily warm welcome of the staff makes both children and parents alike feel at ease. Seeing the smile on my boy's face as we drive into the car park is proof enough for me that the team are doing something right.

Alexander M (Father of Child)

My little girl has recently started and is absolutely loving her time at nursery. The settling in sessions were brilliant and really helped put my mind at ease, especially with me starting back at work. The ladies in the Baby Room are super friendly and enthusiastic and I can't thank them enough for their support in what could have been quite an emotional rollercoaster.

G W (Mother of Child)

Once I drop my son off into the Baby Room, I feel he's as safe and as well looked after as I do at home.
