Join Us for an Open Morning at 1st Place
Come and see what everyday life looks like at our Elephant & Castle nursery.
Our open morning is a chance to explore our spaces, meet the team, and learn more about how we support children to learn, play and thrive at 1st Place.
Our nursery offers a play-based, child-led approach to learning, guided by the EYFS and inspired by Reggio Emilia. With bright, spacious rooms for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers, plus outdoor play and regular outings, children are supported to explore, create and grow with confidence.
We’re ideally located near Elephant Park and Burgess Park, with access to Forest School sessions, museums, theatres and local green spaces - all part of everyday learning.
Places are available for children aged 6 months+, including term-time and full-time options, with 15 and 30 hour funded places.
1st Place at The Elephant

Address: 15 Hampton Street, London SE17 3AN
The Elephant is our newest nursery, opening in the Summer of 2023.
The Elephant at 1st Place is located near Elephant and Castle station and benefits from great transport links allowing regular trips to local parks and a nature reserve for Forest School and outings.
The central location means that trips to museums and theatre are easily accessible by walking or bus and we've enjoyed making the most of this!
The interior has a spacious and airy feel and is made up of 7 rooms including a sensory room. Outdoors, we have two secure play areas where children can play with trikes and toys, enjoy planting or relax in the reading corner.
On a recent Ofsted inspection in May - the nursery achieved a Good rating in all areas.
