Mayfield Nursery

Mayfield Nursery is a family-owned business since 2013. Established in 1993, we’ve been at our current site on the grounds of Springfield University Hospital since 2007, bordering Tooting and Earlsfield. Providing child care for babies from 3 months to 5 years. As parents, we are committed to providing children with a warm, nurturing, and safe environment, exactly what we wanted from our daughter’s nursery school. Our purpose-built nursery has bright, spacious rooms, an ideal environment for babies and children to explore and develop curiosity and independence. Our high ceilings ensure your child’s happiness knows no bounds, come and have a look for yourselves! The nursery provides childcare for NHS Trust staff as well as parents in the local community, and we are proud to serve such a diverse and thriving community. Mayfield has an excellent track record in safety with the highest standards in hygiene. From our family to yours, we are focused on providing an outstanding level of care and education. The Mayfield Nursery’s ethos is a unique, child-centered philosophy with a democratic ethos inspired by A.S. Neill’s Summerhill school. We believe all children are innately good and unique, with individual needs and ways of learning which are recognised, appreciated, and met. In turn, children are confident, caring, valued, independent, motivated, and respected. We regard each child as a unique individual with his or her own views. Children’s opinions and views are acknowledged as valuable contributions to decision-making affecting the children’s lives. We allow children the freedom to be themselves and the freedom to take part in activities that their environment offers. Children work together with practitioners to establish a clear set of ‘ground rules’ governing behavior in the nursery. These are periodically reviewed so that new children have a say in how the rules of the nursery operate.
