Outdoor space

Outdoors, children ride on bikes and balance across stepping stones. This supports their large physical movements. However, leaders have not planned to consistently provide as many opportunities for children to practice coordination and balance indoors.

Both my children went to this nursery and preschool and absolutely loved every minute of it. The class sizes were small which was perfect for my shy boy. It’s only 400m from Earlsfield station too!

My son has been attending The Playroom since he was 11 months old. We could not be happier with the lovely staff and wonderful care he receives.
