Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff gain in-depth information from parents during settling-in sessions to ensure that the individual needs of children are carefully considered. Staff find out about children's care routines and what they know and can do for a consistent approach, and help to design a curriculum to meet children's individual needs.

Outdoor space

Children benefit from plenty of fresh air and physical exercise. They eagerly engage in activities and the opportunities provided outdoors, enthusiastically riding bicycles and tricycles, and keenly kicking balls. This helps to test out children's physical skills and abilities well.

We love this nursery and I feel so blessed to be able to send my child here. His key worker has been fantastic with settling him into the nursery. The on site chef cooks really good healthy meals for the children and they offer a lot of fruit. The staff are happy and friendly and the manager Rebecca answered all our questions with great knowledge. Too many good things to say, thank you Dee’s Day Nursery for looking after our children so well!

Dees Day has been an absolutely fundamental part of our lives in the UK. Our daughter started attending when she was just 1 year old and is now 4, and our son joined from only 4 months old and is now 2. From the very beginning, we felt nothing but trust, warmth, and care. As a family from Uruguay living abroad, finding a place where our children felt safe, loved, and happy was essential—and Dees Day exceeded all our expectations. The staff are incredibly caring, professional, and genuinely dedicated to each child’s development and wellbeing. Our children have grown, learned, and thrived there, and we will always be grateful for that. The community of families is also wonderful—supportive, kind, and welcoming. It truly feels like a close-knit, positive environment. As we now return to Uruguay, we leave with full hearts and immense gratitude. Dees Day was not just a nursery for us; it was a pillar during our time in Wimbledon, and it will always hold a very special place in our family’s story. Thank you

This nursery has provided more than we ever expected for our daughter. Despite being shy, she is happy and comfortable with the staff. They have supported her development including being very proactice with potty training. There is a constant and familiar team who always make us feel welcome. They have also been very accommodating and flexible with us, and also very supportive. We would definitely recommend Dee’s Day.

Fantastic nursery!! A lovely homely atmosphere and the staff are very caring and supportive of the children. All three of my daughters have been to Dees and have loved it. It really prepares well them for school and encourages positive values and relationships with other children. Would definitely recommend for outstanding childcare.

Our daughter has been going to Dee’s Day Nursery from December last year and we have seen good progress in her overall development since she joined the nursery. We were very worried about her eating habit but Malini, Mariam, and the team stood out to our expectations and helped us during her settling period. The entire team is very helpful and take care of the kids. They organise many events for kids and do spend lot of efforts to make them special for kids. The another plus point is their free layout which doesn’t restrict kids to one room and their in-house kitchen with a great chef who cooks delicious food for kids. Absolutely brilliant nursery, caring staff, our daughter loves it !
