About this day nursery

Community Vision Nursery in London, SE20 8PD, provides a nurturing and stimulating environment for children aged 0–4 years, operating year-round from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday.

The nursery also places a strong emphasis on outdoor learning, where older children can be found skilfully using real kitchen utensils in the mud kitchen and developing their physical skills by balancing on planks.

Furthermore, parental partnerships are a key strength, with leaders and staff prioritizing helping parents understand the curriculum and offering excellent guidance for supporting learning at home.
