Millie's House Fulham Palace is a 53-place nursery for children from three months to five years, set in a converted house with a spacious garden. Four rooms, each built around the age group in it, and a genuine home-from-home feel.
Play sits at the centre of everything. Enabling environments, creative exploration, messy play - and outdoor learning as part of the daily rhythm, not an occasional treat.
We're part of a group of nurseries across London and Surrey, so there's somewhere to go. Our Manager, Lucía, joined as a practitioner and was a Room Leader within months. Our Deputy, Mariz, started with us as a practitioner too.
