Dee's Childcare

About this day nursery

Dee's Childcare, located in London, SE18 7JZ, offers a vibrant and comprehensive early years education experience. They are committed to providing a high-quality, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children learn, play, and grow.

Following the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, Dee's Childcare focuses on child- and adult-led play experiences that foster confidence, independence, and curiosity. A unique aspect of their curriculum is their forest childcare provision, which emphasises outdoor learning opportunities, robust risk assessments, and strong supervision to encourage exploration and appropriate risk-taking in a safe setting.

This approach aims to develop confidence, resilience, physical skills, and independence. The day nursery prioritises strong partnerships with parents and carers, recognising their crucial role in a child's early learning journey.

Beyond nursery provision, Dee's Childcare offers flexible services including babysitting, an after-school club, and holiday clubs, all designed to support families with engaging and enriching activities. They also provide a dedicated children's party space for safe and fun celebrations.

The day nursery strives to create a welcoming and valued environment, offering activities and learning experiences that nurture curiosity, build confidence, and promote self-esteem through both structured and flexible learning opportunities. Weekly outings to local parks, gardens, woodlands, farms, libraries, and leisure centres further enrich the children's experiences.
