Toddlers

Little Lambs is a Peckham nursery built on the belief that a child who feels safe is a child who's ready to learn, so relationships come first and low numbers in spacious rooms mean every child is properly known. Our curriculum is designed by an in-house reception teacher and delivered through in-the-moment planning that follows each child's own interests. Meals are eaten family-style alongside educators, often across age groups, and our team includes a dedicated Family Support and Wellbeing Educator and a Spanish teacher.

We're at 59a Rye Lane Baptist Chapel, SE15 5EX, in the heart of Peckham, a short walk from Peckham Rye station. From here we're also out and about in the local park and the streets around Peckham, so the neighbourhood becomes part of each child's day.

We welcome children from 3 months to 5 years old. Our curriculum, designed by an in-house reception teacher and built on the EYFS framework, grows with each child right through to school readiness.

Send us an enquiry and we'll arrange a visit so you can see the rooms, meet the team and ask anything you'd like before registering. From there it's registration, then settling-in sessions before your child's first day proper.

Availability changes regularly, and if a space can't be offered straightaway we'll add your child to our waiting list. Term-time only spaces are also available but are extremely limited, so the best way to check what's currently open is to get in touch or book a visit.

Yes. Every 3 and 4 year old is entitled to 15 universal funded hours regardless of parental work status, and working parents may also be entitled to 30 hours, or to the 30 hour entitlement from 9 months old, depending on individual earnings. Parents who aren't working may still be entitled to 15 hours if their child is 2 or over, and we'd always recommend checking your specific eligibility at gov.uk, we're happy to talk it through.

Our fees are £89 a day, spread evenly over 12 monthly payments: from £741.67 a month for 2 days a week up to £1,854.17 for 5 days. 15 and 30 hours funding bring that down, and funded hours are stretched over 50 weeks so your invoice stays the same every month. There's an optional consumables charge of £5.85 a day. Get in touch and we'll work out the exact figure for your family.

Little Lambs registered with Ofsted in February 2026 and our first inspection is still to come. Our team includes an Early Years Teacher and Curriculum Lead, a Deputy Manager with operational oversight, and a Nursery Manager who is also an Early Years Consultant. Come and see us, and ask us anything about how we keep children safe.
