About this day nursery
My Favourite Nursery, a non-profit voluntary organisation located in East Dulwich, London, aims to provide competitive and affordable fees for families. The nursery caters to children from nine months up to school age, offering a nurturing environment that includes a "Budding Discoverers Baby Room," "Little Explorers Toddler Room," and "Keen Investigators Pre-School Room," alongside an outdoor garden area.
They prioritise creating a secure and safe setting for all children. The nursery actively participates in government funding schemes, working with Southwark Council to offer various free early education entitlements, including the 30-hour funding for eligible working parents and the universal 15-hour funding for all three and four-year-olds.
They also support parents utilising Tax-Free Childcare. Prospective parents are encouraged to visit the nursery during scheduled viewing appointments to learn more about their approach and facilities.
