About The Little School Daycare
The Little School Daycare is an OFSTED GOOD nursery in Hammersmith, nestled in a quiet residential area close to Battersea Park and Clapham Common. Our nursery welcomes children from babyhood to pre-school into big, bright and spacious rooms, with strong safeguarding and nurturing care that helps every child feel safe, settled and ready to learn.
Our converted building retains a homely feel while offering generous playrooms filled with natural light, giving children space to move, build, imagine and rest throughout the day. Our experienced, long-standing staff team provides continuity and deep understanding of families, creating a calm, stable atmosphere where children form strong bonds and grow in confidence.
Our outdoor spaces give children opportunities to enjoy fresh air in a secure, thoughtfully resourced garden, and our location near Battersea Park and Clapham Common means local nature walks may become an inspiring extension of nursery life. Children may also take part in carefully chosen extras like yoga, cooking or language-based sessions, which support physical development, creativity and early communication in a joyful, play-led way.
Could The Little School Daycare be the spacious, homely West London nursery your child looks forward to every morning? Arrange a tour and experience our calm, sunshine-filled rooms.

Nutritional Approach
We believe food is fundamental to healthy growth, happy minds, and positive lifelong habits. In the earliest years, what children eat shapes taste preferences, supports brain development, and lays the foundations for long-term health.
All meals are freshly prepared on site each day using quality, seasonal ingredients. Our menus are developed with expert guidance, designed for inclusion, and go beyond Early Years Foundation Stage requirements. We want every child to become a confident, curious eater.

Meet Our Nursery Manager
Anna Malec
Hi, I'm Anna. I joined The Little School in 2005, having worked in childcare since 2003, starting as an au pair and nanny. The nursery supported me in achieving my Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications and has always encouraged professional development. I was the nursery SENCo for 10 years, supporting many children with additional needs, and I'm currently completing my Level 5 Nursery Manager apprenticeship.
I've always been passionate about working with children and knew from the age of ten that my career would be in childcare or teaching. It's incredibly fulfilling to watch babies and young children learn, develop and grow into confident individuals ready for school.
The Little School is very close to my heart. Over the past 20 years, it has been a huge part of my professional and personal life. My own children attended from the baby room to preschool, and I am grateful for the love, care and education they received.
