About Growing Beans Norbury

Growing Beans is a child care nursery and preschool in Norbury with a difference.
Taking children aged 0 months - 5 years and combining the best of traditional Nursery learning, we have a brand new, fantastic space for the children and our childminders in Norbury. Our nursery boasts new learning and developmental techniques based on Forest School principles.
Ofsted Number: RP561210
Our child carers in Norbury have a childcare philosophy that incorporates the full EYFS curriculum. This is about much more than box ticking – it’s about being outdoors, playing sport and creating a home from home that makes children feel happy and safe.
Our fully trained staff, look after children from 7:30am-6:30pm Monday-Friday, minimum 10 hours a day (we are flexible about these timings) – our intake is small so there are always plenty of us to go round.
I’m happy to discuss fees once you are ready. Childcare vouchers and government funding are welcome. We also welcome children with special needs.
