Bunny Hop Day Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Deptford for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 16:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in May 2025. Open since 1996, with 24 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Lewisham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Lewisham from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Children are happy and secure at this well-established and inclusive nursery.
Children are eager to enter in the morning and are greeted by kind and caring staff. Children are encouraged to make informed choices about their play. For example, they self-select resources from the many choices available in the wellorganised playroom. Children grow in confidence and settle easily as they observe all the fun that their friends are having. Staff help children to manage their feelings. For instance, during activities, children talk about how they are feeling.
Staff read stories and use props to help guide children to enable them to speak up.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review staff's support for children's communication and language development to help children extend their thoughts and ideas more consistently n develop different ways for staff to focus on building on their individual teaching abilities to extend children's learning even further.

Still missing for Bunny Hop Day Nursery

- Youngest age taken
- Meals
- Nappies
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
