Welcome to Maythorne Cottages Day Nursery and Preschool, offering dedicated care and education for children aged 3 months to 3 years. Our nursery in Hither Green is located close to Hither Green station and Lewisham tube and benefits from extended opening hours, spanning from 7:45 am to 6:30 pm.
Throughout our age-focused rooms, we provide the best start to schooling life through our enriching and wellbeing-focused Bright Beginnings Curriculum, designed by our own Early Years specialists. This holistic yet personal approach supports each child's wellbeing, development, and progress, whether that involves transitioning between rooms or preparing for school.
Each of our rooms are bright and engaging and filled with resources and activities to support your child in every way. From cosy reading nooks and role-play areas, to play trays and arts and crafts stations, there is always something new to discover.
Moving to outside, we have a lovely garden space for your little one to enjoy. The gardens benefit from freeflow access from the classrooms, allowing your child to choose whether to play inside or out. The garden is landscaped with plenty of covered areas, so fun can be had come rain or shine.
We are also excited to be partnered with Superstar sports.

In addition, we offer Boogie mites an interactive music and movement session, which is loved by children of all ages and provides exciting opportunities to learn about the world through music and song.

Our calculator enables you to estimate your basic fees BEFORE childcare funding is applied. We’ve taken this approach as funding is dependent on your own very individual situation, how old your child is, where you live, whether you’re working and so on.
Our comprehensive funding guides provide guidance on what funding you’re likely to be eligible for, we can send this to you after you’ve estimated your fees.
When you visit us, we can also help you understand your options and work out what your net fees will be after any childcare funding is taken into account.
Oops! We appear to be having a few technical challenges! Our team is working hard to get our fee calculator back up and running soon as soon as possible. Thanks for bearing with us.
