Welcome to South Lee Nursery
South Lee Nursery is where your child’s journey with us begins, in a warm and caring environment where every day is filled with discovery, play, and laughter. We understand that the Early Years are a vital time for learning and development, and we’re here to support each child to thrive during this important stage.
From just three months old, children are welcomed into our nurturing and secure setting, designed to feel like a home away from home. Located in a purpose-built space on the grounds of South Lee Prep School, our nursery provides high-quality care and education for children up to the age of four.
We’re open from 8:00am to 6:00pm on weekdays, offering both year-round and term-time-only places. During the day, children enjoy nutritious lunches and healthy snacks. Our breakfast club opens at 7:30am during term time. Places are carefully managed to maintain our high adult-to-child ratios, ensuring every child feels safe, supported, and known.
To help your child settle in confidently, we recommend a minimum of two full days (equivalent to four sessions) per week . This helps build strong relationships, develop a sense of routine, and create the best possible foundation for learning.
Our nursery is split into five inviting classrooms and our new sensory room. Each has access to outdoor play areas where little ones can explore, create, and be active. Our dedicated Nursery Manager, Mrs Kaylee Williams, leads a passionate and experienced team who are committed to making every child’s experience happy, engaging and filled with opportunities to grow.
Our learning follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), blending structured and child-led activities that encourage independence, curiosity and joy. We focus on the three prime areas of learning Communication and Language, Personal, Social and Emotional Development and Physical Development. Alongside this, Literacy, Mathematics, Expressive Arts and Design, and Understanding the World form part of the curriculum.
At South Lee Nursery, children feel valued, confident, and ready for the next step in their school life. We’d love to welcome you and your family for a visit and show you what makes our nursery so special.
