Everything parents ask us about Baby Grow Nursery

We welcome children from 3 months through to preschool age (just before they start Reception). Children are grouped into age-appropriate rooms with low key-person ratios so each child is genuinely known.

We are open Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 6:00pm, all year round except for bank holidays and a short Christmas closure. We offer full-day and part-time sessions, including morning-only and afternoon-only options where availability allows.

Yes. We accept all government-funded childcare hours, including the 15 hours for 9-month-olds and 2-year-olds and the 30 hours for eligible 3 and 4-year-olds. Our team is happy to walk you through how funded hours apply to our session structure.

Yes. Baby Grow Nursery is fully Ofsted registered and follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. Our most recent inspection report is available on request and we are happy to discuss it during your visit.

Settling-in is gradual and led by your child's pace. We typically begin with two or three short sessions where a parent stays, then build up to longer sessions with the key person. Most families settle over one to two weeks, though we adapt this entirely to each child.

All meals and snacks are prepared fresh on site by our in-house cook, with a seasonal menu that emphasises whole foods. We accommodate all major allergies, intolerances and cultural or religious dietary needs — a personal care plan is created for each child with allergies before they start.

We operate above the statutory EYFS ratios: 1:3 for under-twos, 1:4 for two-year-olds and 1:8 for three to five-year-olds. Many of our practitioners hold Level 3 qualifications or above, and our SENCO supports every child's individual needs.

Yes. We have a private leafy garden with mature trees, ride-ons and natural play features, plus daily walks to nearby Bishops Park and the river path. Outdoor time is part of every day, year-round.

Demand varies by room and session type. We recommend registering early — especially for baby-room places. Once you register interest we will be in touch within 48 hours with current availability and next steps.

Fees depend on age, number of sessions and any funded hours that apply. We share a full fee schedule during your show-round visit. To start, simply book a visit through our contact form or call us on 020 4619 5852.

We are an inclusive setting with a dedicated SENCO. We work closely with parents, health visitors and external specialists to build individual support plans, and we regularly host children with a range of additional needs.

We primarily welcome families from Fulham, Parsons Green, Hammersmith, Putney, Chelsea and Earls Court — anywhere within a comfortable walk, bus or short drive of St Peter's Church, SW6 7JS.
