Dr Caroline Curtis on opening our Streatham nurseries:

“We opened our Streatham nursery in an effort to support local families who need high-quality, flexible childcare. The mission of this nursery was to help working parents, ideally located so they can drop off their children on their way to work and collect them at the end of the day knowing they’ve had a day full of learning and fun.”

A Day in the Life

Kids in Preschool

Outdoor learning and fresh air are part of every child’s day.​

We’ve carefully created zones that support both calm reflection and active play, giving each child the freedom to learn, explore and thrive in the way that suits them best.

“I loved designing our Streatham nurseries,” says Dr Caroline Curtis. We chose locations near green spaces to reflect our Forest School values. Both settings are thoughtfully laid out to support structured learning and free play.”

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 we do, we help parents access the 15 hours of support for 3 and 4 year-olds (or 30 hours of support if you qualify), as well as the 15 hours support (soon to be 30) for younger children who qualify. The reduction this will make in your fees is illustrated on the fees sheet which our admissions team will send you.

Dr Caroline Curtis with some more information on the funded hours support at Lucky Beans: “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 both 15 and 30 hours of 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 as many children as possible to thrive.

 

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?

The exact things that we do will vary from day to day and month to month, both to keep the children interested and to best progress the children towards their learning goals.

 

However, in broad strokes, a day will progress like this:
 

  • 7:30 - 9:00 - drop-offs and breakfast

  • Free play, including sensory activities

  • Snack

  • Outdoor activities/forest school

  • Lunch from 11:45 - 12:30

  • Nap time for younger children/free play for older ones
