Little Cubs Academy Greenwich

At Little Cubs Academy, we help uncover children’s unique strengths and abilities in warm and caring settings that have been carefully designed to help children thrive and reach their full potential. We are a family owned, independent nursery and pre-school group for children from 3 months to 5 years of age, we are open 51 weeks a year, 5 days a week, providing high-quality day care and early years education that will make you wish you were a child again.

We encourage children to be creative, ask questions, and explore the world around them. Play is at the heart of everything we do. We provide the love and care that children need to feel safe, secure and happy because we think that’s the best way to help them learn, make friends, and build magical memories that will last them a lifetime.

But it doesn’t stop there. At Little Cubs Academy we want to create an inclusive community for the whole family, so we build strong, trusted relationships with parents and offer a fun and varied programme of events and activities that everyone can get involved in.

Located in a large purpose-built setting with outdoor deck accessed from all the rooms, Little Cubs Academy Greenwich is just a stone’s throw from Maze Hill station, and only 5 minutes’ walk from Greenwich Peninsula and The River Gardens. The nursery and pre-school is open from 7.30am to 6pm, 51 weeks a year for children from 3 months to 5 years of age. The setting became a Little Cubs Academy in 2019, and as well as purchasing brand new toys, equipment and educational resources, it was completely refurbished with natural, neutral materials and colours to create a calm, warm environment, a purpose built sensory room for the under 3’s, and amazing free-flow areas for all age groups .  

The nursery and pre-school’s outside area features a planting and growing area, mud kitchen and sand boxes. We like to give our children the broadest range of experiences with the best quality providers, so alongside our programme of activities linked to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), we also offer a very diverse selection of all-inclusive activities such as forest school, cooking, yoga, sport, French, drama, music, dance classes, PE, and regular visits to Mudchute Farm, one of the biggest inner-city farms in Europe.
