The children are the heart of all that we do at Excel Child Care Services.

Welcome to Excel Child Care Services Nursery, a family-run nursery in the heart of Forest Hill, South London.

For over 23 years, we have been at the forefront of babies’ and children’s development, providing a warm, safe, and loving environment where every child can thrive.

From the very beginning, our philosophy has been simple: children learn and grow best when they feel secure, valued, and loved.

That’s why our team combines careful planning and structured learning opportunities with plenty of cuddles, encouragement, and genuine care. We see every child as a unique individual, and we tailor our approach to meet their needs, interests, and stage of development.

We welcome children from as young as 3 months through to 8 years old, supporting families through those vital early years and into the start of their school journey.

Whether it’s the first days of nursery, the excitement of learning new words, or preparing for the move to primary school, we are proud to be part of every milestone.

Our longevity speaks for itself. For more than two decades, families in Forest Hill and surrounding areas have trusted us to nurture their little ones.

Many of the children who once attended Excel Child Care Services are now grown, and their parents often tell us how much our nursery shaped their early years with confidence and joy. We even have a ex attendee who is now a young parent who has brought her baby to us – this is one of the best testimonies of our urge to excel in child care.

What makes us different is the family feel at the heart of our nursery. Being family-run means we truly understand the importance of trust, consistency, and communication. We build strong partnerships with parents, working together to support each child’s development and ensure they feel safe, secure, and happy every day.

Our highly qualified and caring staff are passionate about early years education.

Through thoughtful planning, stimulating activities, and play-based learning, we create an environment where curiosity is encouraged, imaginations are nurtured, and confidence grows. But we never forget the importance of warmth, reassurance, and affection—those little moments of love and cuddles that make all the difference.

Our Vision:

We have a clear vision to provide a safe, happy, caring, nurturing and stimulating environment for all our children.

So that every child in our care progresses and develops into successful learners and that no child is left behind.
