Conveniently located just a 3-minute drive from Cheam Train Station, the nursery offers easy access for families. A secure drop-off and a dedicated pick-up area ensures smooth arrivals and departures, even on busy days.

Explore The Nursery

Our Cheam nursery is a bright, inviting space designed to nurture every stage of early childhood development.

Inside, the spacious rooms let children explore freely, fostering confidence in their abilities. Quiet corners are thoughtfully placed to help children regulate emotions and spark curiosity.

Outside, the nursery offers a carefully designed garden, helping meet the needs of our youngest learners. Each of the rooms have free-flow access to the garden, allowing children to move between indoor and outdoor spaces with ease.

Explorers Room (3 Months - 18 Months)

The Explorers Room at Cheam offers a calm and nurturing environment for babies, supporting early physical growth and sensory development. Our caring team follows consistent routines to give children a sense of security while introducing new experiences that encourage learning. With a 1:3 staff-to-child ratio, each baby receives individual attention, and the team works closely with families to support daily needs and overall development.

Discoverers Room (18 Months - 24 Months)

The Discoverers Room supports toddlers as they transition from infancy into early toddlerhood. Children are encouraged to explore at their own pace, take part in activities that capture their interest, and develop communication skills. The team follows structured routines for mealtimes and toileting to foster independence and provide reassurance. With a 1:3 staff-to-child ratio, toddlers receive focused attention and guidance during this key stage. They also have free-flow access to our garden, where outdoor play gives them further opportunities to explore and discover.

Creators Room (2 Years - 3 Years)

In the Creators Room, children aged 2 to 3 years focus on building independence, developing early language skills, and learning to interact with their peers. The room encourages play through sensory experiences, imaginative role play, and early mark-making. Children start forming friendships and take pride in small responsibilities, such as helping with mealtime routines. With a 1:5 staff-to-child ratio, the team is always available to offer individual support. In-room bathroom facilities aid gentle toilet training, helping children feel confident and secure.

Inventors Room (3 Years - 5 Years)

The Inventors Room helps children as they get ready for school, offering a space where learning is hands-on and engaging. Children take part in STEM activities alongside literacy and numeracy, developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. With a 1:8 staff-to-child ratio, each child gains confidence while receiving focused support. Carefully selected resources encourage curiosity, and materials reflect everyday experiences to help children make sense of the world around them.

Garden

The outdoor space at Cheam is designed to keep children active while supporting their  physical development and curiosity. Outdoor play is incorporated into daily routines, helping children connect with nature and enjoy time outside.

Dedicated Studio Space

One of the highlights at Fennies Cheam is the dedicated studio space. This carefully designed area allows children to explore the culinary world through hands-on experiences, helping them develop practical skills for life. With opportunities to build fine motor skills and practice early mathematical concepts through measuring ingredients, it’s an interactive way for children to discover new tastes and textures, all while learning and having fun.

Safety And Security

Fennies Cheam, Worcester Road is secured with a monitored entry system, allowing access only to registered parents, carers and approved team members. All visitors are accompanied by an educator while on site, ensuring every child’s day remains safe and secure from drop-off to pick-up.

Hygiene 

Maintaining a safe and healthy environment is at the heart of life at our Cheam nursery. The team follows strict hygiene practices to minimise the spread of germs and support children’s wellbeing. Handwashing is built into daily routines, and staff model good personal hygiene throughout the day.

Each evening, dedicated housekeepers thoroughly clean the nursery, and a full deep clean is carried out every quarter to uphold our high standards.
