Mayfield Nursery provides a warm, nurturing yet stimulating environment for children from three months up to five years. Established in 1993, we've been at our current site within the grounds of Springfield University Hospital since 2007, on the borders of Tooting and Earlsfield. The nursery provides childcare for NHS Trust staff as well as the local community and has an excellent track record in safety with the highest standards in hygiene.
Mayfield is split into the baby centre, toddler centre and preschool centre, where each centre contains two sleep rooms branching off the main play area. The baby centre also has its own milk kitchen and dedicated eating area equipped with tables and chairs accessible to the babies. Our purpose built nursery has bright spacious rooms with high ceilings so your child's happiness knows no bounds!

Services
The Mayfield Nursery's ethos is a unique, child-centered philosophy with 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.
Mayfield follows the government's Early Years Foundation Stage to prepare children for school and beyond. We believe that play-based activity provides the best foundation for learning and focus on activities such as arts and crafts, building and design, cooking and group games. Children are also taken on local exploratory trips, including the library and Tooting fire station, as well as offered other trips out such, as Deen City Farm.
Classroom activities are carefully planned by the teachers according to the key areas of learning outlined by EYFS. Millar Ark Farm paid Mayfield nursery a visit and the children had an opportunity to pet and feed the animals in the comfort of their own garden. Mayfield's second annual sports day was an enjoyable occasion for everyone involved despite the rickety weather.
We are always looking to expand our Mayfield family with likeminded professionals who pride themselves on the quality of service they can provide. We, at Mayfield nursery provide opportunities for our staff to benefit from in-house and external training to help them further their careers.

This nursery is fantastic! The staff are 100% committed to my child and they do everything in their power to ensure she and all the other children are happy. She has been in the nursery since she was 1 and she has been so happy there, it is like a second home. I am so pleased we choose Mayfield for our daughter - don’t let any of the building work put you off, It is a hidden gem ☺️

Our nearly-3-year-old son has attended Mayfield Nursery since he was 11 months old. It is family-run with lovely staff, of a good size with a good kitchen, nice outdoor space and plenty of daily activities. In particular, the staff were happy to support our use of reusable nappies throughout; we simply supplied and brought home the nappy-bag each day - this is a lot more accommodating than other local offerings. Couldn't be happier :)
