Our Approach
The heart of our Lucky Beans ethos is bespoke, child-centred care that will give your child that "home-away-from-home" feeling. Unlike other nurseries, we keep our numbers small so that each setting feels truly like a family. We dont believe in stuffy or traditional childcare - our innovative and holistic forest-school approach involves plenty of opportunities for inspirational learning outdoors and in nature!
​
We keep each nursery small in order to focus on your child's specific development. Our forest school ethos is at the heart of everything we do and we emphasise active child-led learning above the commonplace style of childminding where children may be stuck in a room for the entire day.
We also feature many strengths-based activities like music, Spanish and tennis in preparation for primary school and beyond!
All of our nurseries and preschools are perfectly placed for parents in and around SW London area, including Mitcham, Wandsworth, Clapham, Thornton Heath, Wimbledon and Croydon to name a few.
Bespoke care at every stage...
Pinto Beans
0 to 18/24 months
For our littlest beans we offer the premium home away from home experience. Each and every child is offered personalised individualised care depending on their specific needs. We understand that these formative months require extra care and attention and therefore strive to provide an environment that our young learners feel loved, nurtured and encouraged.
Broad Beans

As our beans grow we introduce new activities, challenges and themes promoting personal growth and self-confidence. We provide a stimulating environment with hands on sensory experiences including gardening, dress up, nature outing and more. We offer a supportive environment in which children bond with each other and our child-minders creating a familiar family.

Our biggest runner beans prepare for life beyond nursery. We aim to challenge and inspire through homework activities, introduction to languages and maths. We assess the specific development of each child and provide an enriching learning experiences contingent upon their individual interests.
