About this day nursery

London Mulberry Nursery and Preschool is a family-operated institution that caters to children from 6 months to 5 years old, operating Monday through Friday from 8 am to 6 pm, 46 weeks a year. The nursery's philosophy centres on nurturing both the academic and holistic progress of each child, with a strong emphasis on grace and courtesy.

Drawing from both the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Montessori methodologies, the nursery provides a comprehensive learning environment. New children are gradually integrated into the nursery routine with a parent or carer present for initial visits.

The curriculum is enriched with a variety of specialist classes, including French, Yoga and Mindfulness, Zumba and Dance, Art and Design, and Baking/Cooking. The facility features a dedicated space for infants (Neonato) and a spacious Montessori classroom for older children.

It also boasts a lovely outdoor area and provides accessible amenities such as nursery parking, disabled parking, and wheelchair accessibility in the building and toilets. The nursery has current vacancies and accepts funded places for 2-year-olds and 3-4-year-olds.
