About Us

Our Nursery

Welcome to our brand new nursery where exceptional childcare of the highest quality awaits you. We are an open plan nursery with a no shoes policy for a cleaner and more comfortable environment.
At Little Genius Day Nursery, we pride ourselves on our unique approach to childcare. Our nursery is designed as an open plan layout with a dedicated baby area. This setup enables a tight-knit community and fosters friendship among children of all ages. It provides the older children with the opportunity to develop empathy and leadership skills and the younger ones to benefit from observing and learning from their peers across different age groups.
We also pride ourselves on being a unique, no-shoe nursery as we prioritise cleanliness and comfort for all our little ones. We ask parents to provide their child with a pair of indoor shoes to wear during their time at the nursery.  

Convenient Location

Our nursery is conveniently located just a short, 30-second walk from the DLR station, connecting us to Stratford and Canary Wharf seamlessly. With both Stratford and Canary Wharf just 10 minutes away, busy parents can enjoy quick and convenient access to major hubs while ensuring their child is well-cared for in our nurturing environment.

Additionally, our location is serviced by several bus routes, including the 108, 309, 115, 15, D6, D7, and D8, providing even more flexibility and accessibility for families. Join us and experience stress-free commuting and easy access to essential destinations for both work and leisure.
