Our Ethos
Founded by Dr Caroline Curtis, our ethos shapes everything we do at Lucky Beans.
Led By A Psychologist
Lucky Beans was founded by Dr Caroline Curtis, a positive psychologist. Her philosophy is at the heart of every setting, shaping how we care for and teach your child.
Safe, Happy And Free
We believe children learn best when they feel safe and happy. That means no pressure and no pushing, just space for your child to be themselves.
Small Settings, Big Family
Every Lucky Beans nursery has a forest school ethos and stays small by design. That means more time outdoors and a setting that truly feels like family.
Child Led Learning
We focus on child led learning, not box ticking. Every child grows in their own way, at their own pace, in their own time.
Meet our Nursery Managers
Every Lucky Beans setting is led by a dedicated nursery manager. They oversee the day to day running of the nursery, support our staff and are always on hand for parents.

Parent FAQs:
What are your child nursery fees?
There is no set price, all our child care needs are tailored to you and your child.
Please call our admissions team on 02045010894 or email admissions@luckybeanschildcare.co.uk to receive our fees sheet for your chosen nursery or preschool and to arrange a tour.
Do you accept the government’s funded hours support?
Yes. Lucky Beans Streatham accepts funded childcare for eligible families, including support for babies and toddlers from the term after they turn 9 months.
Eligible working parents may be able to access up to 30 funded hours per week, which for most parents will be 'stretched' over the whole year for up to 22 funded hours per week.
Dr Caroline Curtis explains:
“At Lucky Beans Childcare, we understand the financial challenges that come with securing quality childcare. That’s why our Streatham nursery is committed to supporting families by offering funded childcare for eligible parents.
Our mission is to make our nurturing and educational environment accessible to as many children as possible. We are committed to helping children thrive by offering funded childcare options for babies, toddlers and preschool children in Streatham.”
Our admissions team can talk you through how funded hours work, show the reduction on your fees sheet, and explain any optional additional charges before your child joins.
What are the ratios of staff to children in the nurseries?
We adhere to the industry standard of 1 staff member to 3 children for 0-2 year-olds, 1 staff member to 4 children for 2-3 year-olds and 1 staff member to 8 children for 3-5 year-olds while in the nursery.
As we are a nursery company with a forest school ethos we spend a lot of time outdoors and when we are outdoors we have a higher ratio of staff to children than these ratios, to enable the children to explore and learn while being properly and safely supervised.
What sort of food do you serve? Can you work with my child’s allergies?
We serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus two snacks in the morning & afternoon that are provided by our in-house chefs. Our delicious and healthy meals will fuel your little one's mind and body. Of course, we believe in balance, too! We also include a few yummy treats in our menu, because some foods are good for the soul.
All our chefs and relevant staff are trained in food hygiene holding a minimum of a Level 2 Certificate. We are understanding & accommodating to all dietary requirements, just let us know!
If your child is weaning, don’t worry, we have weaned many children successfully.
What is the daily routine at the nursery?
