Independent Family Owned Childcare Established 2010

Summer House is a small, beautiful home-based childcare setting a few steps away from Wimbledon Park tube in London. The vast majority of the parents that find us do so by word of mouth and recommendations from current and past parents.

We think our location with its garden and nearby parks, our small team of friendly and professional staff, together with the opportunities presented in our small, homely, environment for children to play and make new friends, is why we are so in demand.

Many parents enquire when their children are very young babies (or even still inside tummies). The children often start at our setting at around age 9 to 12 months. Most children go on from here to attend nursery settings at around age 3.

Update:  26 August 2026

We are very often full. We have a Waiting List for a possible small number of places that may come up over the next 12 months, however most diary changes tend to happen in July to early September, with on occasion (but not always) 1 or 2 places arising in December/January or March/April. We receive 2 months notice from our current parents of places arising. Sometimes we might have an idea of places coming up with more than 2 months notice, as we encourage our current parents to let us know their plans. Please be aware that despite there being no fee to join our waiting list, we may decide to not take deposits until 2 months before the start date, i.e. we will not offer a place until we are sure one is arising. We will however keep in touch with you if you are very close to the top of the waiting list and we will be honest about your chances of securing a place.

We aim to arrange visits / tours no more than three times per year. These take place most often towards the end of the Spring, Summer and Autumn terms (e.g. Feb/Mar, Jun/Jul and possibly Oct/Nov).

If you are interested in securing one of these places by firstly adding your name to the Waiting List, and then waiting to hear about the next date/time slots available for visits, please click on the link above to register your interest.
