Purley Day Nursery and Preschool

"Excellent nursery! Both managers are approachable, friendly, professional and also very caring which filters to the team.
My granddaughter loves coming to Purley and has made a lot of friends. Preschool is always buzzing because the children are happy and learning at the same time."

These sessions allow children to explore stories in new ways through songs, instruments, and imaginary play.
