About this day nursery

Sallykidscare, a childcare setting on non-domestic premises in London, SW2 1NR, provides a good standard of care and education for children aged 1 to 4 years. 30am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, for 51 weeks of the year, the nursery creates a secure and engaging environment where children develop positive relationships with staff and peers.

The dedicated team has successfully implemented an ambitious curriculum tailored to children's individual needs and interests, as noted in their latest Ofsted inspection on 29th January 2025, which rated the nursery as 'Good'. Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those learning English as an additional language, are well-supported and make good progress in their learning and development, particularly in communication and language skills.

Outdoor play is a key feature, encouraging children to develop effective physical skills through activities such as jumping, ball games, and imaginative play with diggers in the wet sand. Indoors, older children demonstrate early literacy skills by drawing representational pictures and recognising their names.

Mealtimes are relaxed and sociable, promoting healthy eating habits and independence as children serve themselves. Parents consistently report that their children are happy, settle quickly, and show significant progress in communication, language, and personal independence.
