About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
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.

We couldn’t be happier with Little Cubs Academy Greenwich Nursery & Pre-School. My 1.5 year-old loves his nursery and wants to go even on weekends. He’s always in a happy, playful mood at pick-up time, is a really good eater at nursery (vs not at all at home), and I have the feeling he’s best buddies with all his teachers. Every day at Cubs is an adventure. I’m so pleased I decided to enroll him; picking Little Cubs over a childminder was a tough decision at the time, as I was unsure of the relative merits and downsides. I personally love the experience as well; they’re friendly, small, and the experience is very personalised. They send photos and updates all day long, which I love and makes me feel really involved. For us personally - best nursery ever!

My daughter has been attending from 5mths-2.5 yrs. Lovely rooms. Each week there is a creative theme and book rotation. The staff put so much effort into developing a trusting relationship with the child/parent and support development stages very well. My daughter's speech, hygiene awareness, general behaviour, and peer building skills are so well-practiced and nurtured and that reflects the environment and staff she is with at the nursery. The staff have worked so hard in maintaining a normal life experience inside the nursery for the children during the pandemic. Hats off to you all! Lots of outdoor activities are planned to make up for the small garden, but I much prefer them taking my daughter out for walks instead anyway! The chef always offers a variety of nutritious food throughout the day.
Communication overall is excellent. Great app to see how your child’s day is going and observations, plus regular catch-ups with key workers.
Best nursery in Blackheath/Greenwich!

My son's experience with Little Cubs Greenwich has been nothing but amazing. He started there when he was 10 months and since then has developed so much. The care provided is so personal and tailored to every child - treating them as individuals while also instilling some routine. He is my second and I now know how much as a first-time parent I would have appreciated the ever-smiling staff at the door for pick up and drop offs - really puts your mind at ease - the staff seems like they are happy working here too as they seem to be happy and inviting always - can't recommend this nursery enough. We have to leave the nursery now as we are relocating but we are so sad to be leaving such a nurturing and caring environment. Thank you Little Cubs for all that you have done for my son.

I have nothing but admiration for the team at Little Cubs Academy. They are so lovely with my daughter and are obviously incredibly passionate about what they do. My daughter is now three and has been going to this nursery since she was one (except during the lockdown) and even during the pandemic the team were very conscious to keep us up to date and send us helpful activities for doing at home. You cannot put a price on being able to drop your child off and know they are going to have a lovely day and are in safe hands. Can't rate them high enough!

From the time I had expressed an interest to admit my son into the nursery to this day, I have always had an extremely positive experience with them.
Taking care of a pre-schooler who just moved into a different country, has its own set of challenges. I am so happy with the way the entire team at Little Cubs Greenwich has taken care of him. From his initial settlement phase to helping him becoming a more confident and communicative child, his key workers have constantly helped and supported him.
I am really glad that I chose this nursery for my son, and believe that they have set a benchmark in child care which is not easy to match. I believe they touch all aspects of child development and well being and I continue to learn something new from them each day.

Such a wonderful nursery and a great find. This nursery came highly recommended and I can see why. Before you think about joining a corporate-owned nursery you should check out these guys. They are family-owned, and all the staff and the headteacher are incredibly caring and great at what they do. We had a fantastic private tour from the headteacher who put our minds at rest and answered all of our questions. The settling in process was great, and we felt that the nursery held our hand every step of the way. All the food is homemade every day, and they use a great app for parent communication which is far superior to the one they used at our previous nursery.

We absolutely love Little Cubs Academy. The staff are always so friendly, welcoming and really seem to enjoy what they do. My daughter has settled really well as we were very nervous from the beginning that it would take some time due to her spending so much time with us during the lockdown. They really go above and beyond. We love the fact that the owners have young children themselves, rather than this being a corporate-run nursery. We also love the weaning menu.

We have had our little boy in this nursery all year, and we are genuinely gutted to have to take him out (we are moving away). They have an amazing ethos, great toys, healthy food, activities that kids actually find interesting and attentive teachers who really look after their development and well being. Management is on top of everything and are incredibly responsive and understanding, and will do everything in their power to reassure you and help with any questions.
This is the first time we've felt genuinely relaxed and happy to leave our precious child somewhere because we know he is being looked after as if he were at home with us.
