Little Learners Two (In the Gardens)
Good★ 5.0 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A pre-school in London for children from birth to 8+, open 09:00 to 15:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in December 2023. Open since 2012, with 12 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 Wandsworth
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Wandsworth 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 greeted warmly by caring staff who know them well. They are happy, behave well and confidently interact with staff, visitors and each other. Staff take every opportunity to give descriptive praise to children. Children who are reluctant to join group activities are supported sensitively to take their time and join in when they feel ready. This helps promote their confidence and self-esteem.
Children can independently access a wide range of activities, both indoors and outdoors. Activities cover all areas of the curriculum and promote children's allround development. Staff sit with children and support them to develop their ideas and extend their learning. For example, children playing with cars in the shaving foam observe that the cars are dirty. Staff skilfully pose effective questions and the children decide they need a car wash. Staff then provide a bowl of warm water and children enjoy washing the cars.
Children have weekly access to dance, sport and storytelling activities. They learn about the natural environment as they walk in the park and observe changes in nature. They incubate eggs and hatch ducklings once a year and have the opportunity to see and handle exotic zoo animals twice a year.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- further develop strategies to support all children's early communication skills.

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.
