Early Learners Day Nursery rated 'Good' by Ofsted was opened in 1996. Early Learners is situated on Scarbrook Road which is just off the High Street in Central Croydon. Early Learners strive to provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment that puts the child and their family at the centre of everything we do.
We want every child to develop their capabilities as successful learners, confident individuals and to grow up to be responsible citizens and realise their hope and aspirations. We want to engage every child in the highest quality teaching and learning to maximise success for all. We want to create a nursery that feels like home and to provide an extended family environment.

Every child benefits from the stimulation they receive from the contact with other children and those with special educational needs or disabilities are no exception. A Local offer gives children and young people with special educational needs or disabilties and their familes information about what support services the local autority think will be available in their local area.
Our setting values multi-cultural and multi-diversity and every member of the nursery community should feel that their language, religion and culture are valued and respected. All staff employed by the nursery have an understanding that nursery education is a powerful vehicle for transmitting information, which influences how children's attitudes are formed.

A wonderfully caring community of professional and experienced staff. A range of activities provided on a daily basis, fun and educationally themed days, regular communication and updates, varied menu. We were most impressed with their adaptation and advice during lockdown, particularly the home packs with tailored advice and activities. He also loved the personalised video song. Would highly recommend to any new parent. Excellent value for money.

My 16 month old has been attending this amazing nursery since March this year, all the staff are amazing and organised. I spent a long time looking for a nursery that not only met the needs of the children but also had a homely vibe. The staff have all done so well at settling in my baby who wasn’t the easiest of kids to settle. I also love the fact that I am updated throughout the day, and a great handover when I pick him up. I cannot thank you all enough. 5* definitely:)

My second son has left to go to reception. He has setlled in really well thanks to his start in nursery. They always gave a mix of learning activities in a free but semi structured way, and routine meant selling into reception was easy.
My third son just moved from caterpillar to butterfly rok. Where toddlers are. He's transitioned well and enjoying rhyme time he now wants to sing at home.
I just know when I leave my children there, I know they are safe and secure, they will be well fed, even given extras, have a range of activities to do and learn. My older son just left, and he has a foundation

Our daughter has now moved up from the baby room and into the toddler group. She is enjoying her new surroundings and continuing to develop. She is now developing her motor skills and is being taught how to dress and undress the various soft skills toys they have. Her language continues to improve (she's a chatterbox) and she is also learning boundaries of acceptable behaviour.
She adores her keyworker (Lucy) and also waves to her previous keyworker through the door. The nursery continue to nurture and develop our little one. And I also appreciate the regular updates on the parentzone

An outstanding nursery.
My son has settled in very well there thanks to all the hard work of the early learners team, especially the baby room staff.
He loves his time at nursery and the progress he has made in such a short amount of time is amazing.
I know he is well cared for and I think parent zone is such a great way to keep up to date with his day and overall development.

Our daughter has been attending Early Learners for 15 months now and we love the nursery. When I first went to have a look around the nursery, I immediately warmed to the staff and the environment. All the staff are lovely, friendly and caring and seem to enjoy being there too. We also love the fact that it's not a huge nursery and as a result each child is treated as an individual. The nursery definitely deserves its Ofsted rating of outstanding and we're sending our younger daughter there in January. I would definitely recommend the nursery.

Excellent nursery. My son has been going to early learners for the past one month and I would highly recommend this setting to anyone . In comparison to the last few places he has been ,we have had a very pleasant experience with this place. They have mature and caring staff who have been successful in bringing the best out of our child. Our son is very excited to go to nursery every morning and we are seeing a massive improvement in his behavior, speech and social skills.

Brilliant nursery!
My daughter really enjoys going to Early Learners. She is always excited in the morning to attend and always tells me about all the things she has done that day.
The nursery are currently teaching the children in my daughters class sign language, which I feel is an amazing tool to teach small children and it is something which is very beneficial.

My nephew goes here and absolutely loves his time at nursery. The staff are very friendly and care alot for the children. They always have exciting activities going on including teaching the children how to look after animals. My nephew especially liked looking after the eggs and watching the chicks hatch out of them. He loved having the ambulance… visit the nursery and pressing the siren and blue light button. The manager is excellent. They have just been marked as Outstanding from Ofsted too. Sam and her team are definitely outstanding. Thank you for being so amazing with the children
