Broadfields Day Nursery

A garden for babies and a book area with a sofa in the Cubs Room give Broadfields Day Nursery a character built around different stages of childhood. In Catford, it cares for children from 3 months to 5 years and has capacity for 33 children.

No Ofsted inspection has been published for this setting yet.

Rooms and Ages

The Baby Room, for ages 0 to 2, combines separate activity areas with its own garden and a dedicated space with cots for naps, giving outdoor play and sleep their own places. For children aged 2 to 3, the Toddlers Room separates eating from messy play in a naturally lit space.

Letters, sounds and understanding feelings shape the Cubs Room for ages 3 to 4; its book area includes a sofa for quieter reading. The Pre-School Room, for ages 3 to 5, emphasises independence and preparation for school, with a computer for early digital learning. The Tigers Room, for ages 4 to 5, also combines school preparation with computer access.

Learning and Activities

The EYFS provides the early-years framework: children learn through play, with activities covering different areas of development. Here, plans change with children's interests and the weather rather than following an unchanging daily timetable.

Local outings take children to parks, shops and the library. Other organised trips include a farm, museum or fire station, with parents invited to accompany the group. These extend activities beyond the nursery's rooms and garden.

Babies' feeding and sleeping patterns shape their routine. Younger children can sleep in the afternoon when needed, while older children use the garden after lunch; later, stories and freely chosen play follow tea.

Meals are cooked at the nursery, with breakfast, snacks, a two-course lunch and tea provided. Babies' food is adapted to their stage through puréeing, mashing or chopping, and staff work with parents on dietary needs.

Collection includes an opportunity to talk with staff about the child's day. That gives families a regular point of contact alongside the nursery's routines.

Broadfields is at 96 Broadfield Road, London, SE6 1NG. Opening hours are 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, with year-round opening and closures for bank holidays, Christmas and Easter.

Eligible 3- and 4-year-olds can receive up to 15 hours of free early education per week, starting from the term after their third birthday. Funding support is discussed with families individually. Current prices come in the nursery's written quotation.

• Room progression. Both the Pre-School Room and Tigers Room prepare children for school, while Cubs emphasises letters, sounds and feelings. At a showaround, ask how children move between these overlapping age groups.
• Your attendance and funding plan. The nursery opens across the year, with holiday closures. Ask how your intended attendance fits funded hours and what the written quotation includes for meals and consumables.
• Baby routines. Feeding and sleep are adapted individually, and the Baby Room has its own garden. Use a showaround to discuss how your baby's current routine would be incorporated.

Broadfields suits families seeking care from infancy through the preschool years, with separate spaces for sleep, reading and outdoor play. Its practical appeal lies in adaptable baby routines, age-related activities and year-round opening. The strongest decision points are how your child would progress through the rooms and how the attendance arrangement would fit family life.
