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

Being able to log into the camera and see my daughter is amazing for me it helps massively with the anxiety and with missing her, just being able to see how her day is going means more to me than I can ever put in words, since starting at Leo den she's come along way I couldn’t have done it without your all support and that’s a statement of fact I don’t think I could have brought her to this point alone. She “grown” so much under Leo den’s nurturing and caring hand. The bond she has with the nursery staff and the others, I’m so grateful for. She does not just know she’s safe but feels safe. We are both extremely blessed and lucky that Aaliyah attended Leo's Den so I wanted to take a min to from the bottom of my heart and soul to express my thanks, it’s more like a debt I could never payback. So thank you all! From us both.
Our daughter attended Leo's Den between July 2017 and August 2020 and we had no hesitation in sending our son there too. He has been at Leo's Den since September 2021 (joined at one year old) and he has settled in so well and loves going to nursery.

Our daughter attended Leo's Den between July 2017 and August 2020 and we had no hesitation in sending our son there too. He has been at Leo's Den since September 2021 (joined at one year old) and he has settled in so well and loves going to nursery.
Leo's Den provides a high quality of care and a variety of activities for children to partake in. The staff are warm, welcoming, and more than happy to talk about my child and his development. The app is incredibly useful in setting out what my son has been up to; I really appreciate the photos sent out from the day's activities.
Based on our experience with my daughter we are confident that Leo's Den will continue to provide a great nurturing environment that will ensure that my son continues to thrive and develop.
I highly recommend Leo's Den!

Truly outstanding! I believe I made one of the best decisions of my life since becoming a parent by sending my daughter to Leo's. She started in October 2020. The journey has been great from my very first call to the nursery. It was extremely easy to talk to staff. They were responsive explained all the ins and out of nursery life. I had an introductory video call and was shown inside the nursery rooms. I was an emotional wreck but they really helped me focus. You get daily photo updates from day one. The CCTV live feed of seeing your child interacting with others and eating all their lunch (only at nursery) is such a pleasure to watch. CCTV was a lifeline for a first-time mum like me who was finding it difficult to leave their child with strangers. The interactive Famly app is easy to use and the nursery definitely makes use of the notification function to parents. The garden space is huge, bright, and filled with playthings. The girls (Practitioners) in the rooms are top class!

Leo's Den is really fantastic, my daughter loves it here and waves us happily goodbye when ever we drop her off for the day. The team are very professional and friendly and constantly doing engaging, fun and educational activities with the children. Regular update is given and there is also a great web cam where you can watch your children having fun through out the day. I highly recommend Leos Den Nursery.

Simply brilliant. Cubs, Cheetahs and Lions - all have great facilities and activities in and out of the nursery including the visiting animals and trips to the park. Fabulous caring staff; excellent communication and updates through the app which shows all their exciting escapades through the day with photos, food summaries etc. Great support and progress monitoring on all aspects of development. Value is unparalleled in the area, love it.

My baby started at Leo’s Den at just 4 months old. She has been there for over four months. I love the nursery and I like the staff in the baby room and management are great.
More importantly, my baby loves it there, she always wants to jump out my arms to go to her keyworker or any of the staff that opens the door in the mornings. She is always giggling and laughing. Crawling and trying to follow them around. Their sensory play is amazing and every day they have different activities. I’m always curious what they do in the day but we get detailed info on a daily basis and photos posted of their day. Staff are very at hand with her. I feel she has grown so quickly and made huge progress. I believe it’s the team at the nursery that are encouraging her to explore and learn, she loves books from story time. The environment is fantastic.I love it, baby loves it. She is happy and safe.
In a time of uncertainty such as the last year with the pandemic, Leo's Den offered children a safe and loving place where to...
I highly recommend Leo's Den
All staff are lovely and very helpful and understanding. They have great communication with me and keep me up to date with my child's progress. Also being able to see my child throughout the day with the nursery cam they provide really help to put my mind at rest and know I can check on my child.

Leo's Den is a warm, welcoming nursery with excellent staff and facilities. Both of my boys love their time at nursery and I think that is a reflection of the support of the practitioners and the wide variety of activities on offer. We couldn't recommend it more highly.

The past 18 months have been hugely difficult for everybody but, in the face of a global pandemic, Leo’s Den has provided our son with a safe and caring environment where he has absolutely thrived. He is excited to leave the house in the mornings and joyfully agrees to say hello to all of the practitioners and his friends on our behalf. He is visibly happy when we drop him off, as well as when we pick him up. When he gets home we talk to him about his day and we can honestly say he has never shown signs of being anything other than an incredibly happy and stimulated little boy. When we take him to the playground at weekends he is a confident social butterfly. When we introduce him to new healthy foods he is welcoming of them. When we play games with him he picks up new skills without thinking. When we read to him he is fully engaged and enjoys learning new words. We don’t underestimate how much Leo’s Den, and our son's happiness there, has contributed to all of this! Thank you!
I can’t thank the staff of Leo’s Den enough for everything they have done for my daughter. She has been happy and excited to attend every morning, ever since her first day when she was 14 months old and we have been over the moon to send her to such a safe, secure and creative environment, full and...
I can’t thank the staff of Leo’s Den enough for everything they have done for my daughter. She has been happy and excited to attend every morning, ever since her first day when she was 14 months old and we have been over the moon to send her to such a safe, secure and creative environment, full and love and happiness. The nursery has all its priorities in the right order and nothing is for show. I have complete trust in the team, not least because she eats and naps so much better for them than she does for me. Thank you Leo’s.

- children do like it, and staff clearly care deeply about the children and give a cheery wave and hello if you bump into them at the weekend - it’s a real family!

We have been delighted with the nursery since my then 1 year old started in Jan 2021 mid pandemic. The staff are incredibly caring and kind and I released very soon understood the characteristics of our son who is a really energetic, chatty little boy. Communication with parents is excellent, my son is always happy and willing to go to nursery and we are very impressed with the range of activities and inclusion of multi-cultural events and festivities. We could not ask for any more. It appears the staff are happy too, which is key and part of a wide, caring community that is Leo's Den Nursery!

My son has been with Leo's Den Nursery since he was 10 months old. He is 3 years and 7 months old now. Leo's Den have become a second family to my son. He has verbal language delays and the staff has continuously supported me and is going above and beyond to support myself and my son. I choose Leo's Den because my workplace was only 5 min away. Unfortunately I was made redundant last year and even though the nursery is 1 hour away from my home I never even considered to change nursery. Leo's Den cares for its children and parents and should I have another child in the future, he or she will attend Leo's Den 100%!
My daughter loves Leo's Den. She has been with them for 2 years and is always happy to go there. The staff are brilliant, very understanding and available for us. Every day they propose so many different activities, they spend time in the garden or even go to the park, which is really great. We...
My daughter loves Leo's Den. She has been with them for 2 years and is always happy to go there. The staff are brilliant, very understanding and available for us. Every day they propose so many different activities, they spend time in the garden or even go to the park, which is really great. We have an app to follow their day and each day we have feedback and photos of the activities they have done. I strongly recommend Leo's Den!
We felt...
They also keep parents up to date daily with thorough updates via web app and I feel I know in detail what my son has been up to during the day, his meals, his sleep patterns. Couldn't recommend this lovely place more!
It's a great nursery, we're very happy with it, both of my children had attended and my niece.
Their facilities are great, I think is the best one in the area with their opening hours and location. Very convenient for working parents like us.

They are really good with the children, we know they are safe and well cared for during the day. All the team are amazing and are really invested in the development of the children.
Leo’s Den is a lovely nursery, the staff are incredible! There is a huge range of activities which the children do each day to help them learn and develop their social skills. The approach and care of the practitioners has seen our daughter’s confidence and sense of self develop immensely during...
There is a real sense of community within the nursery which has held together even during Covid times due to a strong management approach with regular communication.
