P & C Childcare Services are a well established, high quality, professional childcare provider catering for working parents, students, young mothers, single parents, and families in Lambeth and the surrounding areas. We care for children from 4 months old to 5 years. We cover Van Gogh Primary (formerly known as Durand Academy) and Christchurch for morning drop off/pick ups.
We provide a safe and secure environment, full of creativity, arts and crafts, music, story time, outdoor play and language skills. We encourage independence, self-confidence and respect for others. Our children are treated in a gentle and caring manner at all times. We realise that these are some of the most memorable times in your child's life; we want to be a part of that learning and development and fill it with wonderful memories.
The children have access to an enclosed garden no matter the weather, and we often take trips to the local parks, woodland areas and nature reserves. We have newly decorated premises with refurbished baby and toddler rooms, secured kitchen area, separate toilet and rest area.
