About this employer
Millie’s House Nursery & Pre-School at Fulham Reach is a 92-place nursery caring for children aged three months to five years old. It is beautifully situated on Distillery Lane, in front of Frank Banfield Park, just a few minutes’ walk from Hammersmith station.
Housed in a modern, purpose-built building, the nursery features large windows that flood the rooms with natural light and open onto its private garden during the warmer months, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The spacious garden provides children with plenty of room to explore, play and connect with nature in a safe and stimulating environment.
Each age group benefits from its own dedicated room and garden area, carefully designed to support every stage of development. Across five bright and spacious rooms, children are encouraged to learn through play, developing sensory awareness, gross motor skills, independence, communication and language, while building social connections with their peers.
The nursery’s mission is to provide a happy, warm and cosy environment where children can learn and grow as individuals. Through nurturing care and encouragement, the team supports children in developing resilience, embracing new experiences and reaching their full potential.
