Substantial outdoor environment – a rarity in South London
Our nursery in Clapham Junction offers its children a nursery experience that far exceeds the norm for South London nurseries, even based on its outdoor space alone. We have a substantial outside area which is full of features to offer a remarkable breadth of outdoor learning opportunities and activities. We have ample space for ‘ride-on’ fun as well as planters for growing, sand and water play equipment, a construction area and sensory resources for our younger children. There can be no doubt of the importance these activities when you see the excitement the children show at getting to spend hours out there, and the ways in which their development flourishes as a result of the opportunities it gives them.
Top-quality indoor environment
Lavender Hill’s outstanding nursery experience doesn’t end with its excellent outdoor space – our indoor environment contributes hugely to our children’s’ ongoing progress and development. With sweeping wooden floors in the older children’s’ rooms, and soft carpeting for the younger children, combined with the top-quality wooden “Community Playthings” resources and furniture we use in each room, every age-specific room meets the highest standards.
Child-led learning is our passion
Our setting is a place of fun and laughter. We feel passionately about child-led learning, where children’s interests and fascinations are respected and nurtured. This works alongside the activities that we plan for children as educators. Our resources and equipment support what children are interested in and inspire them to create and be creative in their play. A mixture of traditional educational materials alongside what you would find at home offers a variety of experiences for children to utilise and explore.
Our skilled staff team work hard to develop children’s self-esteem and confidence based on knowing the children well.
Our beautiful and well thought out environment supports independence and develops resilience by offering young children a whole range of interesting and natural resources to choose from. Staff play alongside children supporting the experiences that they are having and utilising opportunities to teach children to develop and learn. Respectful relationships, high-quality interactions and engagement dictate our ethos, and staff spend their time building strong, caring and nurturing relationships with children and families. We feel that this approach really works well as it enables us to build genuine relationships with all, which benefits children and families.
