“My daughter attended Blooming Years for 3 years and I will be forever thankful for the amazing teachers for fostering a nurturing environment. This has provided her with brilliant foundations, enabling her confidence, curiosity and resilience to flourish. Thank you for loving her so much!”
7-10 Broadway Court, SW19 1RG
A nursery for Merton Park families, just off the Broadway
Merton Park is one of those quietly lovely corners of south-west London where the streets are wide, the houses are Victorian and families tend to put down proper roots. If you are based near Merton Road or the conservation area, Blooming Years Nursery on Wimbledon Broadway is around ten minutes from your door and well within the natural pull of where most Merton Park families already head for their week. We would love to show you round.
Why families choose us
Our approach
What parents tend to notice first when they visit is less about the rooms and more about the atmosphere. At Blooming Years we do not spend our days telling children what to think. Every space, every activity and every interaction is designed to help a child work things out for themselves, build confidence and develop real independence. That self-belief is something they carry with them long after they leave us, and it is something parents here tend to recognise the value of immediately.
In practice
The practical side matters just as much. Every child starts at their own pace through a gradual settling programme, with parents present at the beginning and daily conversations with the team throughout. We hold termly one-to-ones so you always know where your child is, and you are never chasing us for information. We accept both 15 and 30 hours funded childcare, and we are Ofsted registered and look forward to welcoming our first inspection, which we are confident will match or beat the Good ratings across our other nurseries.
For families in Merton Park
Merton Park families often tell us that the Broadway is already part of their routine, whether for the shops, the station or simply the route into town. Adding nursery drop-off into that pattern tends to work well here rather than pulling parents in a different direction. The character of the area, settled, family-focused, with parents who think carefully about the choices they make for their children, means we tend to be a good fit for each other.

What London families say
The families already with us can tell you more than we ever could.
“My son went from 1-4 yrs old. He loved it. The staff were patient and kind, offered such a variety of activities, helped him grow in confidence and independence and supported me when I had questions on a few things. He joined reception this year well prepared and ready for his next chapter. Thank you team.”
“Excellent nursery! We are so happy about it. I was so scared about the idea of not finding a good place for my little one. Then I have tried Blooming Years and my baby loves it. The teachers are qualified and they take care of every emotional aspect of the babies. I have visited a lot of nurseries but I never had the same warm feeling.”

Common questions
From Merton Park, Blooming Years Nursery is typically around a 10 to 15 minute journey, depending on your route. We are based at 7-10 Broadway Court on Wimbledon Broadway, SW19 1RG, which is easy to reach by tram, bus or on foot from Merton Park. Wimbledon station is just moments from our door, so if you are commuting onward after drop-off, the District line, mainline and tram services are all right there.
Yes, we accept both the 15 and 30 hours government funded childcare entitlements. The universal 15 hours is available for all three and four year olds, while the 30 hours is for working families who meet the earnings criteria set by the government. We will walk you through the eligibility check and the application process when you visit, so you know exactly what funding you can use before you commit to a place.
We welcome children from 3 months old right through to 5 years, covering the full early years stage. Places can be in demand, particularly for the youngest age groups, so we would encourage you to get in touch as early as you can, even if your start date is several months away. Places are allocated based on enquiry date and the availability of the right room for your child's age, and we will always be honest with you about where you stand on the list.
Being Ofsted registered means we meet all the requirements to operate as a regulated childcare provider, including staffing ratios, safeguarding and the Early Years Foundation Stage framework. We are awaiting our first inspection and are confident it will match or beat the Good ratings we hold across our other nurseries, which gives you a practical sense of the standard you can expect. In the meantime, you are welcome to visit, ask questions and meet the team so you can make your own informed judgement.
When you come for a visit, we will show you around the nursery, introduce you to the staff your child would be working with and give you the time to ask whatever is on your mind. There is no pressure and no set script; we find it works better when parents just see things as they really are. If you decide to go ahead, we use a gradual settling-in process where your child spends short, supported sessions with us before their full start date, building up at a pace that suits them and you.
