About this day nursery

Petite Ambassadors Day Nursery Ltd, situated within Tooting Leisure Centre in London, SW17 0NE, operates as a childcare setting on non-domestic premises, registered with Ofsted since May 31, 2024. The nursery provides a warm and secure "home from home" environment where children aged 1 to 3 are consistently encouraged to develop their independence and social skills.

With a total capacity of 17 places, the nursery prides itself on its strong systems for safeguarding children, ensuring that all staff understand their responsibilities in creating an open and positive culture of safety. The dedicated staff, led by the registered person Petite Ambassadors Day Nursery Ltd, foster strong bonds with the children, offering high levels of nurture and tailoring their teaching to support emotional development.

The daily routine incorporates engaging activities like story time with positive regard for children, and encourages children to try different healthy foods, while also promoting activities that develop fine motor skills through puzzles and creative play. The nursery values its community links and involves children in celebrating cultural festivals, inviting parents to participate in their children’s learning journey by joining in cooking activities and sharing playtime.

Our ethos

We believe that each child deserves the best start in life and the support that enables them to fulfil their potential. We provide a High-Quality childcare for our future Ambassadors within the Local Community; we offer a tender caring service for our families. Our Vision is fostering children's independence and preparing them holistically for lifelong excellence and future leadership. Our Mission/Intent is to foster each child's personal, social, and emotional development (PSED) through engaging physical activities, recognising that PSED skills are integral to every aspect of a child's well-being, learning, and growth.

What it's like

While leaders have taken appropriate action to improve the overall quality of teaching, there is still more work to do to further improve children's learning and development experiences. Staff do not always take every opportunity to support and extend children as they play, which results in them only maintaining interest in activities for short periods of time and not being fully challenged to access the planned learning intentions.

We had a very positive experience with this nursery. The staff were always kind and welcoming, and the environment felt very warm and familiar, which gave us great peace of mind as parents. What we appreciated the most was the way they taught the children to eat and drink water independently. They really encouraged autonomy in a gentle and respectful way, helping children gain confidence in their daily routines. It was clear that they genuinely cared about the children and their development, and we are grateful for the time our daughter spent there. We would definitely recommend this nursery to other families.

Fantastic nursery. My son has been with Miss Christabelle since he was 11 months old and he has been super happy every day since then getting upset on Saturday and Sunday because there was not nursery. Miss Christabelle has share with us every milestone that my son was achieving. I cannot thank her enough for her help during the potty training as she is so experienced about it and she guided me to help my son to have a smooth transition from nappy to the potty. I feel very comfortable leaving my son every day so I can focus on my work without any worry about how well my son will be attended as I know he is in good and caring hands. Her experience is shown in each child as they are treated as they deserve and in different ways depending on their needs. I would strongly recommend and encourage other parents to take their children there as I am very confident that they will be in the best hand possible, having fun, lots of activities and a great foundation/preparation for school. Love. Laura

The most loving and brilliant Nursery teachers! Christabelle provides such a happy and safe environment for our child to develop to her full potential! Our child seems happy, and self confident. She is given so much care and personal attention. Petite Ambassadors is simply one of the best Montessori nursery’s in London. Every pickup, my husband and I notice how curious, intellectually stimulated and socially balanced, our daughter becomes. 10/10

The kids really have a lot of amenities available to them. They use the park, the indoor play centre, plus the wonderful trips they get to go to. Christabelle the manager is wonderful to, he extra care, and nurturing nature really put me at ease. Because its such a wonderful, place I still leave my kids there during the holiday period.
