More2Riverside Nursery, established in March 2019, is a highly-rated childcare provider situated within the River Gardens development in Greenwich. The nursery earned an 'Ofsted Outstanding' rating at its first inspection in April 2022, a testament to its dedicated staff and high standards of care.
The modern, purpose-built facility boasts light-filled rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows and high-quality educational resources, including CCTV for peace of mind. Dedicated spaces for sleep and quiet activities are provided in all rooms, and the preschool room features its own toilets and an art/messy play studio.
More2Riverside caters to children aged from 3 months to 5 years, accommodating up to 67 children daily. The nursery places a strong emphasis on outdoor play, offering one of the largest playgrounds in the area, complete with a mud kitchen, playhouse, covered learning area, and a dedicated forest school for exploration and physical development.
The nursery’s curriculum is based on the EYFS, enhanced with a unique approach that focuses on STEAM, multilingual communication, and physical development. More2Riverside also maintains close ties with its sister nursery, More2Childcare, sharing expertise and leadership standards.
The Famly app keeps parents connected with daily updates on their child's activities, meals, and learning progress. It is particularly well-suited for families residing in River Gardens, those commuting to Canary Wharf or central London, and professionals seeking a modern nursery with smaller cohort sizes and strong outdoor provisions.

Inclusion & environment
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive extremely high levels of support to help them to meet their full potential. Staff keenly respond to the individual care and learning needs of children. For example, they implement successful strategies that help children with sensory or language needs to access the curriculum.
Children learn about different modes of transport during riverside walks. Children take part in activities such as yoga to enhance their physical strength and balance.
We could not have asked for a better start to our daughter’s early years than at More2Nursery. The key workers are not only experienced and professional but incredibly warm and caring. They treat the children with genuine love and attention. My daughter loves her key worker. The curriculum and daily activities are thoughtfully designed to encourage different skills, outdoor exposure and support children in reaching their developmental milestones. The Rollers room also organises regular parent activities, giving families the opportunity to take part in their children’s experiences and see first-hand that they are in very good hands. Watching our daughter grow here, from her first steps to talking, singing, and running, has been such a joy, and we are so thankful for the role More2Nursery has played in that. It will always have a very special place in our hearts. Thank you!
Read on GoogleThis is a wonderful nursery with excellent facilities. All of the staff are friendly, caring and kind, and developed wonderful personal relationships with my daughter. The staff were also very supportive, working with us through various challenging phases such as eating a more varied diet, navigating nap times and the dreaded potty training! The nursery thoroughly deserves its Outstanding Ofsted rating! More2 we will miss you!
Read on GoogleWe’ve been sending our little one here since she was a year old. It’s an amazing nursery, filled with exceptional staff members who are dedicated, hard working and passionate about the wellbeing and development of the children. Entrusting your child with anyone is a big step, but we always felt supported by the team. The playrooms are spacious and well looked after, the meals are great and there is plenty of outdoor space for the kids to roam around. The staff really care about what they do and put lots of effort into planning out fun and educational activities. As a result, our daughter loves going into nursery and has developed so much over this past year. Thank you to all the amazing staff for making this a really special nursery.
Read on GoogleMy little girl started at More2 when she was 9 months old. I was incredibly nervous about leaving her but the second I met the More 2 team I was put at ease. They are so incredibly kind, communicative and go the extra mile to make sure the children are well looked after. Prabh, Samaya, Maisie and Nathan from the Rollers Room all made such lovely bonds with my daughter and she was soon running into nursery every day with no hesitation. She then moved up to the Rompers Room, and Sarah, Ellie and Mel have made the transition so easy and have helped our daughter grow in confidence and independence. Thank you all so much, we are so grateful for your dedication!
Read on GoogleMore2 Riverside has been a great choice for my son (1 years old). The quality of care, the environment and the people all make this an exceptional nursery in my opinion! I’m so grateful to have found this nursery and grateful to everyone who works at More2. If you are looking for a truly outstanding nursery that supports each child to reach their full potential and also supports parents and the community look no further :)
