Welcome to the Sydenham Nursery
2A Bell Green, Sydenham, London SE26 5TB
Little Cherubs Sydenham first opened its doors in January 2000. Following continued success and strong community support, the nursery has since expanded to accommodate up to 82 children aged from 3 months to 5 years.
Situated in the heart of Lower Sydenham, our nursery is conveniently located close to local residential areas, primary schools, shops and businesses. Parents benefit from ample nearby parking and excellent transport links, including direct train services reaching London Bridge in just 15 minutes.
Our learning environment
Our nursery spans three floors and includes four thoughtfully designed classrooms. Each room has been carefully created to reflect the age, stage and developmental needs of the children, providing stimulating, engaging and accessible resources that promote independence and curiosity.
Our classrooms:
- Bright Beginnings – Baby Room (3 months+)
- Tiny Tots – Toddler Room (steady walker)
- Little Learners – 2–3 Years
- Shooting Stars – Pre-School (3+ Years)
Every space is warm, welcoming and purposefully arranged to support children’s learning, creativity and emotional security.
Our facilities
In addition to our classrooms, our building includes:
- A separate cot room providing a calm and restful sleep space for our youngest children
- A soft play room where children can safely develop their physical skills through climbing, balancing and active play
- An on-site kitchen where fresh meals and snacks are prepared daily
- A dedicated staff area & nursery office
- Pram shelter
Safety & security
The safety and wellbeing of our children is always our highest priority.
For added reassurance, Little Cherubs Sydenham benefits from:
- Secure entry systems with fob access.
- CCTV monitoring throughout the premises
- A fully maintained on-site fully automatic defibrillator (AED)
- ALL Staff trained in Paediatric First Aid
Our CCTV system supports the overall security of the building, helping us maintain a safe and protected environment for children, staff and visitors.
The presence of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) on site provides an additional layer of emergency preparedness. Our team are trained and confident in following emergency procedures should they ever be required.
Outdoor learning & exploration
Our beautifully landscaped garden provides a secure and spacious outdoor learning environment, complete with soft artificial grass throughout.
The main playground encourages children to explore nature and extend their learning outdoors. Features include:
- Flower beds for planting and growing
- A digging area for hands-on exploration
- Open space for physical play and movement
- Sun shade during warmer months
Our babies benefit from a separate shaded garden area, designed to offer a calm and safe outdoor experience tailored to their developmental stage.
Each day, our team thoughtfully extends indoor learning into the outdoor environment, setting up engaging activities and resources to ensure children experience a rich, continuous learning journey both inside and out.
At Little Cherubs Sydenham, we are proud to provide a safe, nurturing and inspiring environment where children feel valued, confident and ready to thrive.
Important Information for Parents
Our Ofsted registration has recently been updated to link our nursery with our sister setting in Shortlands as part of our limited company. We would like to reassure families that the provider and the way we operate remain exactly the same as they have been for the past 26 years. Our commitment to providing a safe, caring, and high-quality environment for your children continues as always.
