About our child care nurseries for babies
Lucky Beans is a child care nursery welcoming local children aged from 0 months - 5 years in South London.
We combine the best of traditional nursery learning and our fantastic spaces across the South of London in Streatham, Balham, Tooting and Norbury.
​​
What care you can expect
We incorporate the full EYFS curriculum, but our approach is less about box ticking – it’s about being outdoors, playing sport and creating a home from home for the children.
Our fully trained staff look after 0 months to 5 year old children from 7:30am-6:30pm Monday-Friday.
A minimum 10 hours a day (we are flexible about the timings). Our intake is small so there are always plenty of us to go round. We also welcome children with special needs.
Good to knows
We're happy to discuss fees once you are ready.
Childcare vouchers and government funding are welcome.

If you live in Clapham and are looking for a nursery that feels close, practical and genuinely nurturing, Lucky Beans offers excellent nearby options for babies and young children.
Many Clapham families want a nursery that is not only warm and caring, but also easy to build into everyday life. That might mean a setting that works well for the school run, one that fits around a commute, or one that is a short drive or bus journey from home.
For parents in Clapham, our Balham and Tooting nurseries are often the most convenient choices.
Rather than asking parents to compromise between location and quality of care, we aim to offer both: nearby nursery settings with a home-from-home feel, strong relationships between children and staff, and daily routines that support babies and toddlers to feel secure.
