Situated within the grounds of St Mary’s Church, we are an Ofsted Good (inspected August 2024) pre-school nursery within walking distance of Wimbledon Village, and a short distance from Wimbledon Station. We care for children from 18 months old all year round.

We work with Merton council to offer Universal and Extended Funded Childcare for 2-4 year olds.

The Toddler Room is bright, warm and welcoming with large windows that allow natural sun-light into the room all day.

The Toddler Room’s internal layout provides the best possible learning environment for our little children with low tables, shelving, window sills and play equipment clearly labelled at the children’s height to encourage independent, spontaneous play.

Each toddler is unique and very special. We plan a curriculum based on each child’s individual needs and interests, challenging and stimulating the minds of our little learners.

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and ensure that each day is planned as we feel a routine helps to give the children a sense of security.

As well as planned activities, we also ensure we leave enough time for spontaneous play and exploration.
