A baby and toddler nursery in Royal Wharf

Royal Wharf is home to our babies and young toddlers. The Nest combines the best elements of different approaches to provide your child with a broad, fulfilling early years experience — through great care, outdoor learning, languages, music and movement.

Nest Royal Wharf has cared for babies and young toddlers since 2019, a short walk from Pontoon Dock DLR. We welcome families from Royal Wharf, Silvertown and across the Royal Docks. Children join from 6 months and are looked after by a skilled, first-aid-trained team in a nut-free nursery rated Good by Ofsted. Every day includes freshly cooked meals, play in our own garden and our enrichment programme, and you can follow it all through daily updates on the Famly app.

When your child reaches the right age they will move to our Marco Polo site — a few minutes away — where they continue with the same approach and routine. It’s a continuation, not a change.
