Rated Outstanding by Ofsted (November 2021), Conservatoire Nursery & Pre-School provides childcare and education to children from birth to 5 years old.
You can find them in Blackheath, not far from the station. It's a spacious nursery in a handsome Victorian building with separate areas for different age groups and a large garden.
The experienced staff plan each day with help from the children. They can choose from a wide range of activities, from gardening to science experiments, football to dialogic reading, and more. The children love to get out and about too – shopping for fruit and veg at the local market or nature-spotting on Blackheath.
Their in-house chef provides all meals using nutritious recipes from LEYF’s menu.

About this price
How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Our little one has been attending the nursery since he was ten months old. Two staff members in the baby room are truly amazing. They were brilliant at settling him and helped him to love nursery. All the staff we’ve met incredibly friendly and welcoming. We’ve always felt listened to and like they really care about our little one. He’s now in the toddler room and the staff are lovely there too. The learning they do is great and the system they use for sharing learning with families is great. We would definitely recommend this nursery.
The staff are amazing, so caring and nurturing. Our daughter is in the baby room and is always happy to go into nursery in the morning. She started at the Conservatoire in September and the settling in was a smooth process with lots of communication and updates on the parent app. Would highly...

A brilliant nursery with extremely caring staff, great activities, a real focus on learning and excellent communication with parents. Our daughter is in the toddler room and runs into nursery most days. Highly recommended.

My son has been at the nursery for 2 years and my daughter has just joined. The care in the baby room is outstanding. The staff made my daughter’s transition to nursery completely pain-free and she has a real bond with them. Frequently I collect her from nursery and she is happily sat on their knee. I feel they go above and beyond in their care for the babies.
My son has thrived in the preschool room. The staff are a real mix of ages which is rare in a nursery setting and has really benefitted him. He frequently talks about staff at home like he would family members. They do lots of outings - ‘the day of kindness’ where they went out into the community to do kind acts was a particular highlight and my son still talks about it now. All in all, having viewed many nurseries in the area previously, I’d say The Conservatoire is the best around.

My son has attended The Conservatoire Nursery since he was nine months old. His development has been fantastic and I feel he is well supported and loved by the staff. The range of activities is great and there is always something exciting going on. He has developed strong bonds both with staff and other children and it has been lovely to build a network of such great people in our local area.

What I really love about this nursery is how they would make me and my child feel comfortable during drop-off. All of the Teachers in the Toddler room take the time to greet my son during drop off, making him feel welcome, then someone will always come to give him a cuddle, will give me a smile and assurance that my son will be fine and that they'll make sure he'll have a great time. I've seen some daycares too and I could say that these teachers have genuine sincerity in caring for the children. I believe my son can sense it too. We are on our 4th month now and whenever we say 'It's nursery day!' he would give us a wide grin and would happily say his bye-byes to both me and my husband.
We are very happy with The Conservatoire Nursery. Our son spends lots of time there and when I pick him up I can see he feels happy during the day. They have lots of different activities and ways of engaging with each child.

The variety of activities and excellent outdoor space ensure there is always lots to do, and there is also a very nutritional menu on offer.
I would definitely recommend the nursery to others.
Our son loves going to the nursery. He is having a really good time there and learning some essential skills along the way. He loves the sports hour on Mondays and spending time in the garden. He's bonded very well with his key worker and has really developed his social skills there.

Wonderful staff, great activities and general positiveness throughout. My son is happy there and I guess that is the best review!

The Conservatoire is just a lovely nursery. Like all first time mums, I was very anxious about leaving my son alone for the first time, but I needn't have been. It is reassuring to know that he is in such a warm and caring environment. I did lots of research about nurseries in Blackheath and there are many good ones, but for us, The Conservatoire ticked all of our boxes. We especially like the location (very convenient area but safe off the main road), outdoor space, food (!), creativity & activities, parental support & inclusion, and the staff. We receive good updates daily on collection; I feel the staff know my son very well and are open, honest and trustworthy. I really appreciate the weekly emails, the enthusiasm for the nursery and children's development, and as a parent, I feel well informed about what is happening at the nursery. Most of all my son loves it here. Choosing a nursery is not an easy task, but I can hand on heart say this is a great nursery & I am so glad we chose it!
Our daughter enjoys her days in the baby room especially when she gets to play with sand and water!!

The nursery always goes the extra mile to keep the children entertained and encourage social skills from creating indoor beaches to royal wedding parties outside. My son is always so happy when I pick him up and it’s such a relief to know he is in good hands. I could not have made a better choice in nursery.
The staff in toddler room and the 2-5 years room really supported my son. He loved coming to nursery.

Staff are incredibly caring and know my child well. Focused attention and plans for individual learning and development are the main reason we chose Leyf The Conservatoire Nursery. The care my child receives is excellent and we love the focus on kindness, sharing and respect and diversity.

I think The Conservatoire Nursery is a very well run nursery with lots of happy children. It would be good to see more permanent members of staff as churn of agency staff might cause the children some upset.
