Our nursery in Putney Bridge which opened in 2022 brings our unique combination of Montessori education, bilingual English and Chinese Mandarin teaching, and strong emphasis on the importance of outdoor learning to the families of SW15 and SW6.

The nursery is tucked between Fulham High Street and Fulham Palace, meaning it is ideally located for access to both Putney Bridge underground station and Putney overground station.  Importantly for us, it has its own outdoor space, use of the adjacent paddock and is within easy reach of several nearby parks!

Our nursery opens throughout the year between 8am to 6pm and caters for children between the ages of one and five. 

Our Environment

Children acquire knowledge through experience in their environment. With this in mind we designed our nursery environment based on facilitating and maximising independent learning and exploration by the children.

As part of the transformation of the outdoor space, we have also engaged with an early years play specialist to design a natural and interactive play area including a natural tree trunk climbing frame, a textured mud-kitchen and a dry river bed water play course. 

We also have a paddock field next to our garden which we can use for our sports sessions and Forest School activities.

Opening Hours and Fees

We are open all year round, excluding Bank Holidays and the period between Christmas and New Year. Our core opening hours are from 8am to 6pm. We can arrange for an early drop off from 7:45am should this be required.
