Leo’s Den Nursery is in the heart of Southwark, and opened in 2009 in a converted public house very close to all major transport routes, with London Bridge and Borough high street stations close by.
Leo's Den Nursery prides itself on being a safe, caring and valued early education setting where children learn and thrive. They see parents returning to the nursery again and again, so that each of their children has the wonderful start in life that Leo’s Den nursery enables every child to have. The nursery also offers both two and three-year-old funded places and the 30 hours funded option for those parents that qualify.
With the areas of Bermondsey Borough, Peckham and Camberwell close by, Southwark is a very diverse area with children coming from many different backgrounds and cultures and many children having English as their second language. Leo's Den is a fully inclusive nursery and they celebrate and nurture each and every individual child, and have great relationships with the whole family. The staff team also reflect the diverse cultures of the area and bring many different cultures and languages to enhance the setting.
Key carers have professional rich bonds with their key children and their families, and they are very proud of all that their 'very strong' Parent Partnership brings to the setting.
Leo's Den offers a wonderful EYFS curriculum with many enhancement classes for the children to enjoy. These include weekly Ballet, Mindfulness and Yoga sessions, as well as Fun Phonics and Wild Fangs (the wonderful world of living things). With two lovely outdoor spaces/gardens, the children have many learning opportunities to try out their physical skills and enjoy lots of outdoor learning experiences whilst having fun.
From the start of the Covid pandemic, the nursery has remained open throughout and continued to serve the key workers of the local community, with many new families joining the nursery

The staff are amazing-warm, caring, and incredibly attentive. They create a nurturing environment where each child feels seen and supported, while also encouraging learning, creativity, and social development.
Thank you for your lovely review of Leo's Den, our staff always do their utmost to ensure that our children enjoy each and every day at nursery.
The staff at Leo's Den are very responsive and warm. They responded well to all my questions before starting and have been reassuring throughout. Our child went in at 7 months and has had a great experience in the baby room. We would definitely recommend it.

We couldn't recommend this nursery more highly.
Thank you for such a positive review of Leo's Den. We always recognise the needs of each individual child no matter what the circumstances, and ensure that our staff have the skills to deal with each situation.
Our 1 year old absolutely loves Leo's Den - he's often bringing us his coat and shoes in the morning because he wants to get going!

Our 1 year old absolutely loves Leo's Den - he's often bringing us his coat and shoes in the morning because he wants to get going! The greatest thing is the staff - everyone who works there that we've met has been kind, considerate, caring and informed. The communication is excellent with messages and updates through the parent app and photos daily.
The facilities of the nursery itself are not the most up to date but not in a way that seems to bother any of the kids - they have their own outside space with play equipment and opportunities to interact with older children which is great.
Overall we feel safe and happy sending our child to Leo's Den, and their management of our funded hours means it's affordable for us. We really feel very lucky to have found this place!
Many thanks for your positive review of Leo's Den, and we are delighted that you feel safe and happy having your child at Leo's Den.

My son Ted started attending Leo's Den when he was 10 months. I am a first time mum so was very anxious sending him off to creche. But Leos were absolutely amazing at reassuring me and creating bonds with my son to ensure that we were all comfortable. They communicate really well, send you lovely updates and pictures and just all round made us feel so comfortable. Now Ted absolutely loves it there. He is so happy going off to Leos, the practitioners are absolutely amazing. All so engaging, thoughtful and truly care about the kids. Ted has learned so much since being in Leos from superp crawling to learning to stand. He is so supported in there by all of the lovely staff that he is flourishing. We cannot recommend Leos enough and are so so thankful for everything that they do.
Dear Vera, thank you for your generous review and we are delighted that Ted is flourishing at Leo's Den.
The staff here are amazing. They are very attentive and responsive to my child's needs - he always comes home relaxed and happy. They work hard on his development and always keep us updated on his progress.

Many thanks for your lovely review Joanna, your kind words will be valued by the team.
Our son loves Leo's den and the staff are so kind to him. The transition back to work has been so much easier knowing my son is so well looked after and having such fun. The communication is great and I feel the the activities they do are age appropriate and stimulating.

Thank you Katarzyna, the Leo's Den family really does appreciate your wonderful review.
Wonderful nursery with amazing staff who are very caring. They really understand each child's personal needs and we trust them fully with our daughter. They were extremely supportive during the settling in period.

Leo's Den is a wonderful place where my child has been thriving since he started at 8 months old. The staff are wonderful - caring, professional and kind, they do everything they can to support both parents and the children. The office are brilliant, and always do their utmost to accommodate requests. As a working mother it's given me such a peace of mind knowing that my little one is well looked after during the day. The children are always busy with lots of activities and plenty of outdoor play, you can see how happy they are in a safe, stimulating and fun environment.
Thank you for such wonderful comments. It is always great to hear that we are doing things well, and that our parents and children are happy.
My daughter always had a good time from daycare. She developed safe relationship with carer and made friends with other children. Leo's Den provides daily interesting activities, as well as, playtime in nearby parks.

I cannot express my gratitude and heartfelt appreciation of Leo's Den. As a first time mum and full time working mum, Leo's Den has been an absolute pillar in our lives. The admin office was more than accommodating when I had to change my start dates and full time enrollment. The staff that look after my daughter are second to none. They genuinely care about my daughter and this is more than just a job for them. They are skilled, professional, and have helped her development more than I ever could. My daughter has thrived with her speech, confidence, and shown so many developmental leaps that I attribute to Leo's. She enjoy nutritious meals and snacks as well. I particularly enjoy how the nursery puts so much effort into keeping both the children and parents active from Sports day to cultural day to celebrating other holidays. Cannot recommend Leo's den enough!
Thank you so much for your lovely review , its our absolute pleasure to care for your child.
We truly couldn't have asked for a better nursery. The staff have really moved my child's language and motor skills forward, and provided a loving environment. They do creative activities every day, get lots of outside time all through the year, and go to the various local parks quite frequently....
We truly couldn't have asked for a better nursery. The staff have really moved my child's language and motor skills forward, and provided a loving environment. They do creative activities every day, get lots of outside time all through the year, and go to the various local parks quite frequently. My child has formed very close bonds to all the staff, and walks happily into nursery every morning without looking back! She couldn't be happier there, and we couldn't be happier with Leo's Den.
Thank you for your lovely review. Its our pleasure to care for your child.
Leo's Den Nursery is such a lovely place. The staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely care about the children's well being. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nursery.

Leo's Den are a wonderful nursery. My daughter loves going and is so happy to see everyone in the morning. Her development has come on leaps and bounds thanks to the nursery and the communication is amazing. The app lets me know exactly what she's done and eaten everyday which is amazing.
