About this day nursery

Millie's House Nursery & Pre-School, established in 2012, offers exceptional childcare and early education at its seven locations across West and Southwest London. Focusing on a nurturing 'home-from-home' atmosphere, each nursery is carefully designed with purpose-built rooms and engaging outdoor spaces that cater to children aged three months to five years, supporting every stage of their development.

The curriculum is built upon the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, fostering independence, resilience, problem-solving, and social skills through a blend of child-led play and adult-guided activities. The dedicated team of experienced early years professionals undergoes continuous training to uphold the highest standards of care and education, with a strong emphasis on building robust partnerships with parents.

Each nursery is led by an experienced manager and a deputy, and all staff are trained in paediatric first aid and safeguarding. The nursery prides itself on creating a supportive environment where children can play, explore, and learn, ensuring they develop strong foundations for lifelong learning.

My son attended Millie’s House Nursery for 3.5 years, and we couldn’t have wished for a better place for him. Margaret is an absolutely outstanding manager who has built a fantastic team. Everyone is enthusiastic, nurturing, and truly cares about the children. Their guidance and support help little ones build friendships and prepare wonderfully for “big school.” The food at Millie’s is also excellent—my picky eater even asked for seconds almost every day! The nursery offers so many enriching experiences, from visits by firemen and farm animals to the magical moment of watching baby chicks hatch right there in the classroom. We will always remember our time at Millie’s with great love and gratitude.

The best nursery in New Malden. There is really nothing I can fault about this place. We moved our daughter from Bright Horizons and it was the best decision we made. From the minute we met Margaret we instantly knew this was gonna be the best move for our daughter. Margaret’s love and passion for the kids is outstanding and so lovely to see. Her excellent management is reflected upon the wonderful staff. They are all so caring, nurturing and accommodating with all the kids of all ages. Their whole team have a great work ethic with the kids showing genuine enthusiasm and passion in their work and for this is why this nursery holds and has such brilliant reputation. My younger daughter has now started and the ease and transition was made swiftly and assuring for me. Love this place and can’t recommend it enough.

I enrolled my daughter here towards the end of last year, and I can confidently say this nursery is fantastic! The setting is lovely, creating a warm and welcoming environment. The manager, Margaret, is brilliant - personable, approachable and always quick to address any concerns. Her love for her job is evident and the children clearly adore her! In the Discoverers room, Nadia and Kerry were wonderful and supportive. A special mention to our incredible key worker Edytor, whose kindness and patience were truly outstanding. My daughter formed a strong bond with her, and Edytor's nurturing nature, combined with the care and kindness she showed, made me feel completely at ease leaving her in such safe hands. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone seeking a nurturing and caring environment for their little ones.
