Are you looking for a nursery school in Wimbledon that can offer your child a safe, nurturing, home from home environment?

My name is Siobhan Drewett and I am the Manager of Playdays Nursery School Wimbledon, located on Queens Road.

I have almost seven years professional childcare experience which has all been with Playdays. I am NVQ Level 3 trained and currently working towards my NVQ Level 5, in both childcare and management.

Originally, I started in Playdays as a Nursery Nurse in a Toddler room in the Wimbledon Hill branch. I then got promoted to Head of Room for the 2-3 year olds before aquiring Head of Room for the Pre-school age group. In 2014, I became Deputy Manager where my responsibilities widened as i assisted the manager with the day to day running of the nursery. I took over as Manager at the Queens Road branch in 2017. This has been a fantastic opportunity for me to develop my career all within the same company I started in.

I have always had a passion for childcare and knew I wanted a career in this industry. As well as working in childcare, I also volunteer and run a local rainbow and brownie pack alongside my sister. I take a very hands on approach to childcare and find their development fascinating. I also believe that it is important to maintain a good relationship with the parents as you are their primary educator. By doing this, I truly believe the children can reach their full potential.

My setting is located within the heart of Wimbledon centre, and despite this we are very fortunate to have a huge outdoor garden. This allows my staff to extend the classroom play opportunities for the children outside which is an added bonus to our daily routine. There are also local parks and libraries which allow the children to explore the environment and go on various outings.

Playdays Nursery Queens Road, is located in the heart of Wimbledon, we are a small home from home setting with three spacious air-conditioned rooms set out on the ground floor, so there is no need to tackle any stairs. The three rooms are interlinked which often helps settling siblings as they are able to see into their siblings’ classroom as well as making transitions between rooms easier and a lot less daunting for the children. We are also very fortunate to have an enormous outdoor garden which allows the classrooms to be extended outside which is an added bonus especially in the heart of summer.

Both my staff and myself aim to continue to create a positive environment which helps the children to feel happy, safe and secure. This provides the children with better opportunities to strive for a better education and to become independent learners. We work in partnership with you as parents, which in turn helps us to care for your child and support them throughout their journey with Playdays!
