Teddies West Dulwich

Day Care nursery in London

Teddies West Dulwich Nursery is located within the former Baptist Church on Gipsy Road, very close to Crystal Palace Park and local shops. It is just a short distance from Dulwich Picture Gallery and the beautiful Dulwich Park. We are extremely convenient for busy families – within easy reach of rail links and bus services to Central London.

"Our son started at baby room at your West Dulwich branch only 3 months ago. He is our first child and we do not have any family close by, so sending him to nursery was our only option and great a fear, I must admit. I must say that the care and support we have received is beyond expectations. Our son is very happy and settled there and we are very confident leaving him every morning. We can not thank you enough. Keep up the great work Emma & co :)!!!"- Parent at Teddies West Dulwich

Teddies West Dulwich Nursery is separated three different age groups.

Our Ladybird baby care unit provides its own milk kitchen, changing facilities and sleep room ensuring babies can follow their familiar routines as they would at home. For our children over 16 months, the Sunflower Room is a spacious and vibrant zone with resources and activities encouraging toddler’s growing independence.

"I would wish you to know that we have all been very happy with Harrisons's care at Teddies, and that all the staff members in the baby care room have been wonderfully supportive, caring, and professional. I could not have been happier with his introduction to daycare." Parent, Teddies West Dulwich

In our two pre-school rooms (for children aged two and a half to five), our daily curriculum introduces subjects as reading, writing, maths and science which help to prepare them for school and develop their confidence. We are also linked to Paxton Children’s Centre and have monthly visits from a qualified teacher.

"I don't imagine it is ever easy to leave your child for the first time in a childcare setting, however the staff at Teddies have gone out of their way to help as much as possible. I have been so impressed with how well the staff seem to know my child in such a small time - it really helps to make me feel comfortable and confident that this was the right place for us."- Parent at Teddies West Dulwich

We re-developed our nursery’s outdoor area in February 2011 – our garden is now a beautiful, natural haven enjoyed by children of all ages - babies enjoy crawling on grass, smelling and touching plants, digging in the sand pit, and having cuddles in our relaxation hub, while toddlers ride bikes, balance and climb, splash in muddy puddles and play games. Older children enjoy growing vegetables, climbing logs, or just exploring and discovering wildlife. Children also have access to a large selection of bikes, scooters and pushchairs for physical and imaginative play.

"Kathleen, I must thank you all for the wonderful jobs you do to make the school such a fun and entertaining place for our children to be. It’s wonderful to see our money going straight back into the school and that the kids directly benefit. Your staff are all so nice and my girls have both loved nursery from day one and have settled in so easily. Lauren really is a rising star, one to watch and to hold on to and so are all the lovely girls in the baby room. We are going to find it really hard to find as nice a nursery for them and sadly teddies have no nurseries in the Ashford area." Parent, Teddies West Dulwich

In addition to our fantastic garden, our other facilities include ample buggy storage, a nursery library, and excellent food provision - our dedicated Nursery Catering Supervisor has been with the nursery since it opened, serving healthy and nutritious snacks meals. All dietary requirements are welcome, and catered for. A fresh fruit breakfast basket is served weekly to parents and all baby formula and Organic Weaning breakfast cereal is included in the monthly cost.

"The nursery has been fantastic over the period my child has been here and I know he is in a safe and loving environment. Management has also been really supportive. I will definitely recommend the nursery to friend." - Parent, Teddies West Dulwich

Also included in our nursery fees are branded nappies, nappy cream, bottles, sun cream and sunhats, and, should a parent wish, formula milk.
