cavendish lodge
Cavendish Lodge is a beautiful double fronted villa with large front and rear gardens.
We welcomed our first children in 2007 with space for over 100 children divided into spacious air conditioned rooms.
The nursery offers all year childcare for babies from 6 months, toddlers and pre-schoolers up to rising 5.
Cavendish Lodge is open Monday - Friday from 8.00 am - 6.00 pm
Our nursery award winning meals are cooked daily on the premises, using fresh and good quality ingredients.
Cavendish Lodge is registered with Ofsted, Lambeth Council and is a member of the National Day Nurseries Association.
our rooms
At Cavendish Lodge we have the rooms divided into room for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers.
Buttercups is where our babies from 6 month to 2 years are looked after with lots of love and care – even before they start, enjoying three taster sessions to help them get used to new surroundings. With a staff ratio of 1: 3 there are always lots of people on hand to play, help or give a cuddle.
Bugs Club is for toddlers 2 to 3 years. It is where you find our independent little ones are given more choice in their days, though still within a carefully planned framework. There's a staff ratio of 1:4 to provide lots of guidance and helping hands.
Cheeky Monkeys is for pre-schoolers between 3 years and rising 5's. The children now are usually confident and skilful little learners, busy with creative and investigative activities, often with close friends and clear preferences. It's much more like being in a school reception class. Staffing ratio is 1: 8.
