About this day nursery
Minnie And Mamma Day Nursery, established in 2015, provides childcare for children aged 0-4 years. Open from 8am to 6pm, five days a week, for 51 weeks a year, the nursery operates from Pollards Hill Library in Mitcham.
The nursery received an overall "Good" rating in its latest Ofsted inspection on 4th January 2023. Children are safe and thrive with motivated staff who provide a supportive and engaging environment.
Babies and young children settle well and confidently explore their surroundings, while older children develop resilience and self-esteem through continuous praise and encouragement. The curriculum prioritises communication and language development, with staff creating a language-rich environment and modelling new words and phrases.
This supports all children, including those with English as an additional language, in making good progress in their communication. Mathematical language is also introduced into play and learning, helping children to become confident in its use.
The nursery places a strong emphasis on healthy lifestyles, offering healthy snacks and meals, plenty of fresh air in the garden, and promoting oral hygiene. Physical skills are developed through activities like using wheeled toys for younger children and safely climbing equipment for older children.
Minnie And Mamma Day Nursery provides excellent support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The manager, who is also the special educational needs coordinator, is proactive in identifying concerns and working with staff, families, and other professionals to create individualised support plans, ensuring good progress for these children.

We joined Minnie and Mamma Day nursery when my baby was 6 months old. This has been the best and most settling experience ever. The staff are so warm and professional, they always make drop offs and pick ups so reassuring. My baby is so loved by all the staff and it is amazing seeing how happy he is going to nursery. I am kept up to date with his developmental milestones and goals which are failed to his needs and the progress I have seen is amazing! I can’t be more thankful to all the staff. Would definitely recommend.

The best nursery!!! I highly recommend Minnie and Mama Nursery! From the moment we enrolled our child, it felt like joining a family. The staff is nurturing and loving, making our little one feel at home. Their excellent teaching methods helped our child so much! Our little one learned a lot and improved her social skills. More importantly, she overcame her speech difficulties! We are incredibly grateful today and always for their incredible support and commitment.

Minnie and Mamma's Nursey is a wonderful place for little ones to grow, learn and play. My Daughter has been going there since she was one, and I have seen how much she has developed since she started there. It is a friendly and multicultural nursery that accommodates for all. The staff are polite and professional. I am kept up to date with all my daughters developmental milestones. I would highly recommend this nursery. As I know my daughter is safe and feels at home at Minnie and Mammas.

OUTSTANDING!!!!!! What can I say about Minnie and Mamma Day Nursery.....First...they are absolutely AMAZING!!....Honest, open and transparent. The staff are great, loving, welcoming and professional. My daughter has attended since she was one years old (She is now 2!) and I couldn’t ask for better set of staff, who feel like family, to look after her. It took my daughter only two days to settle and that is down to the love, care and support she was shown from the start. She has built the most amazing bonds with the key workers which is one fundamental part of her development as she has become extremely social as a child. It also helps and lessens the affect that transitioning from room to room can have. She has come on leaps and bounds due to the fantastic care and education she receives, the wide range of of activities they provide and the range healthy meals she receive which has massively broadened my daughters palate! The nursery is truly her second home, she enjoys every single moment, she’s always happy there and loves all the staff who care for her. I know I can leave my daughter there in their capable hands and genuinely feel within my heart that she is safe....I love this nursery so much that I recommended them to a family member and now my 11 month old niece attends too! Keep up the great work Minnie and Mamma - 5 stars from a very happy Mamma! :-)
