About this day nursery
Lietutis Day Nursery Ltd. in Seven Kings, London, offers a unique dual-language environment, emphasising both Lithuanian and English to build strong linguistic foundations for children. The nursery caters to children from birth to five years old, dividing them into age-appropriate groups: Little Sunshines (birth to 2 years), Rain Drops (2-3 years), and Little Dwarfs (3-5 years).
The curriculum is inspired by Lithuanian educational programmes, adapted to meet British standards, focusing on holistic development. Children are encouraged to explore, learn through play, and develop their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
The nursery prides itself on its experienced and qualified staff, providing quality childcare for over a decade. Meals are a highlight, with a qualified dietitian crafting a diverse European menu, served five times a day using fresh, often organic and local produce.
The nursery also imbues children with Lithuanian traditions, customs, culture, and history, fostering a sense of identity while also broadening their global awareness through art and ethnic values. The focus is on making childhood a memorable and joyous experience, recognising its singular importance in a child's life, and nurturing a love for humanity, nature, and their motherland.
Our ethos
Lietutis Day Nursery aims to provide quality childcare, prioritising the well-being and comprehensive development of each child, while offering flexibility to parents. The nursery fosters a nurturing environment where children are encouraged to learn through play, embrace their heritage, and develop into happy, well-rounded individuals.

How they support every child
SEND provision
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are particularly well supported. The experienced special educational needs coordinator creates individual learning plans for children. Managers and staff work together to carefully consider any external support that children may need. They liaise with experts outside the setting. All children receive the timely support that they need to achieve the best outcomes.
Outdoor space
Children spend time outside. They kick the ball to each other and slide down the slide. Children swing on the swings and hide from each other. They develop their physical skills. Children know that spending time outside helps them to be healthy. They learn to take turns and understand that everyone should have a go.

We are very happy with Day Nursery Lietutis Ltd and truly grateful for all the care and support they have given our son. He started attending last September, and although the beginning was difficult for him, the staff helped him settle in with so much patience, kindness, and understanding. At first, he preferred to play alone and did not enjoy playing outside, but with the gentle encouragement of the nursery team, we have seen such a lovely improvement. He now feels more comfortable around other children and enjoys outdoor play much more. The team creates such a warm, safe, and loving environment for children, and it gives us real peace of mind as parents. We highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a caring and supportive place for their child. 💚💚💚

Lietutis is the most awesome place your child can attend in London. I couldn't be happier how professional and supportive staff are. Most importantly how much my son has learned and changed since started the nursery. Im extremely happy of the daily progress of my child, the food they provide and support I received throughout the years. Would highly recommend Lietutis to any parent who want their child to learn,grow and most importantly always to be safe and happy! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
