About Us

Based in the Coin Street neighbourhood centre, only minutes from Waterloo station, Coin Street’s 84-place day nursery and specialist baby care unit provides high quality, affordable childcare for children from 3 months to 5 years. The nursery’s highly qualified team has an informed educational philosophy that ensures every child develops at their own pace.

The practitioners choose activities to extend each child’s learning and development process and to broaden horizons. Their diverse backgrounds are celebrated and reflected in the activities they choose.

Coin Street nursery recognises that each child’s learning process is unique, therefore they support the natural disposition of each child to explore, investigate and discover the things that interest them and celebrate their achievements in portfolios.

The nursery has interactive areas for activities. A safe outside play area allows children to explore and enjoy their environment, while the Family Room offers privacy for parents. Children are taken on educational places of interest.
Recent trips include:

• Weekly dance sessions at Rambert
• Weekly football sessions at Colombo Community Centre
• China Town to celebrate Chinese New Year
• Tate Modern
• British Transport Museum
• London City Farm
• Forrest School.

The staff develop strong partnerships with parents and offer sensitive support during the settling-in process and ongoing contact through a key nursery worker.

Their sessions include at least two meals and snacks, all included in the fees and meals are prepared daily by an on-site chef, advised by a dietitian. Last year, they were shortlisted for the food award in the Nursery World Awards 2017 for their approach to healthy eating.

The nursery is part of Coin Street’s Ofsted Outstanding Family and Children’s centre. This is often a benefit to parents as they offer free programmes to help support your child and you along the way.
