Anerley Day Nursery

Four named playrooms give Anerley Day Nursery a clear developmental sequence: Nurturers for babies, Adventurers and Explorers for younger and older toddlers, then Leaders for preschool children. It is based at Schoolkeepers House on Anerley Road in SE20 8BD, within Bromley.

No Ofsted inspection has been published for this setting yet. Families do, however, have a dated regulatory event to weigh: a November 2025 action followed an incident involving medicine administration.

Rooms and Ages

Nurturers is designed for babies. Adventurers and Explorers use stimulating resources to encourage curiosity and exploration, while Leaders places school readiness, confidence and independence at the centre of preschool preparation. The room sequence gives children a progression from baby play to the next stage.

Learning and Named Experiences

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is England's framework for children's learning, development and care. It means children mostly learn through games and play.

Alongside the EYFS, the nursery says its broad curriculum loosely follows the Curiosity Approach, using curiosity and exploration to shape activities. Health & Self, Make & Bake, Innovate & Investigate, Move & Groove and Sow & Grow are the named programmes used to structure children's learning. Boogie Mites is the clearest example, bringing music, movement and dance into an active physical session; cooking, gardening, and science and technology experiments add further hands-on experiences.

Outdoor and Community Life

The courtyard garden is divided into three sections, each with a canopy and shelter for use through the year. Local outings, including the nearby park, are linked to the themes children are exploring.

Daily updates, photos and messages run through the Famly app. Coffee mornings and regular stay-and-play sessions give families additional time with the nursery, while a qualified SENCo role is part of the team structure.

The November 2025 regulatory action concerned medicine administration. The published outcome says some requirements were unmet during the regulatory telephone call and records staff retraining, refreshed understanding of the medicine policy and further guidance. It also says action had been taken to put matters right at that time; this was a regulatory action, not an inspection judgement.

The nursery is at Schoolkeepers House, Anerley Road, London SE20 8BD. Its fee sheet describes an 11-hour full day, Monday to Friday from 7:30am to 6:30pm, with a minimum booking of two full days each week. It operates for 51 weeks, closing for bank holidays and a one-week Christmas shutdown.

Eligible funded hours are spread across the 51-week year in continuous blocks. For funded core hours, catering and consumables are charged separately, while the fee sheet also describes fully funded sessions without additional charges. Current nursery-specific prices are supplied in the provider's written quotation.

There is off-street parking. Anerley Train Station is across the road, and Anerley Bus Station is a 2-3 minute walk away.

• Medication procedures. The November 2025 action concerned medicine administration, and its published outcome records retraining and further guidance. Discuss how medicine is administered and communicated with parents now.

• Attendance pattern. The published minimum is two full days each week. This is material for a family looking to combine nursery with a shorter arrangement.

• Funded-hours charges. Catering and consumables are separated from funded core hours, although fully funded sessions are also described. Request the written breakdown for the attendance pattern you need.

Anerley Day Nursery is best suited to families seeking full-day, year-round childcare for at least two days a week, alongside a room progression that runs from baby care to preschool preparation. The Curiosity Approach, Boogie Mites sessions and sheltered courtyard garden add a recognisable character. The uninspected status and the November 2025 medicine-administration action make a direct conversation about current procedures an essential part of choosing it.
