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 49 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
This nursery applies up to 7.5 funded hours per day, stretched across 49 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.5 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.

One of the best nurseries in South Croydon! And it’s even better- Montessori!
Learning Worlds Montessori is the best! After the unsuccessful transition from our family home to another well-known nursery, we finally had a breath of fresh air after meeting the Manager. Our son instantly loved her and the setting. We feel his development has improved drastically and his communication skills and confidence has flourished only after a couple of weeks of attending the setting.
The Manager has always been very responsive and understanding to us parents. This gave us the tap on the shoulder we needed.
The setting is beautiful and there are plenty of opportunities to explore different activities.
I wish more parents knew about this hidden gem in the heart of South Croydon!
We will be forever thankful to the Manager and all the staff for their warm welcoming of our little boy. He feels like Learning World Montessori is his second home.

Very welcoming and friendly staff, a safe and secure environment for kids. They offer lots of activities like singing, football, yoga etc. My daughter loves going to her nursery and insists to go even on weekends we too. The food is prepared fresh and my daughter says “it’s Yummy!!!”
I will definitely recommend this place to all parents who wish to send their child to a homely space where they are looked after well and a lot of importance is given to their mental and physical development.
A very happy father of a very happy little princess

I had been in the nursery during the settling time for my daughter. She is a covid child who turned three in December 2021, she goes two full days a week here. The teachers, setting space, activities, food, and hygiene are well maintained. Following the Montessori curriculum helps kids to be independent and close to nature.
For anyone who is looking for such space around Coombe Road, this one is a better place.

My son started going there when he was 8 months old and continued to learn there until he turned 4 and moved to his current school. Months after settling down in school he says he likes the manager and wants to go there. This for me is proof of the excellent efforts put in by the manager and her team.
They provided adequate feedback on the daily routine and any suggestion was put into effect immediately. Cleaning and hygiene were given utmost importance. On occasions that my child was unwell immediate care was taken and things were always recorded. Food is cooked in-house at the nursery and it was always very nourishing and satisfying.
I am glad we choose to send my son at LWM, Nikki and her team have been very accommodating and worked with me in every growing stage of my child. My son has only thrived at this nursery and come out as a very happy child.

Here at Learning World Montessori we have built good relationships with parents and the local community, where our friendly yet professional approach has always achieved success.
I consider that every child is important and unique in their own way and that they should all receive the very best care and education available – providing fun and engaging activities for learning through play. I believe that I have the drive and vision to contribute to making a difference in this wonderful Early Years setting, providing the highest quality care, so children can reach their full potential. I feel that the dedicated, hardworking, team ethos at Learning World would provide the perfect setting for your little one(s).
