Hello

Welcome to Little Stars Creche

An artistic drop off space for children in Dulwich

Shine Bright at Little Stars Community Crèche!

Need a couple of hours to run errands, attend an appointment, work or simply recharge? Little Stars Community Crèche offers a safe, fun, and engaging environment for your little ones aged 18 months to 4 years old. We provide a unique crèche experience that nurtures their creativity and allows you the flexibility you need.

What Makes Little Stars Special?

  We're not your average crèche! Being part of a theatre school, we infuse a touch of performance and play into every session. Here's what a typical two-hour session looks like:

  • Explore & Play (55 minutes): Children arrive and immerse themselves in our thoughtfully designed Montessori-style play area. This space is filled with inviting activities that encourage exploration, creativity, and social interaction.
  • Snack Time (15 minutes): Time to refuel! Please pack a healthy snack for your child to enjoy.
  • Music & Movement Magic (30 minutes): Let's get moving! Your little star will participate in a fun and engaging music or dance session led by our talented staff. This is a great opportunity to express themselves, develop coordination, and discover the joy of performance.
  • Story Time Serenity (20 minutes): We wind down the session with a soothing and captivating story time. This helps children relax, develop their listening skills, and spark their imaginations.

Peace of Mind for Parents

We understand that leaving your child is a big decision. At Little Stars, your child's safety and well-being are our top priorities.

  • OFSTED Standards: We adhere to all OFSTED industry standards to ensure a safe and regulated environment.
  • Consistent Care: Your child will benefit from a regular team of dedicated staff who they will quickly get to know and love. Building these familiar relationships helps children feel secure and comfortable.
  • Expertly Trained Staff: Our crèche workers are not only experienced childcare providers but also trained performers with a passion for working with children. They hold enhanced BDS checks, safeguarding and EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) qualifications, ensuring they are equipped to provide the best possible care and support.

A Note From Our Founder, Kat Henry:

 "I created Little Stars out of a genuine need. When working on Freedom Academy, I longed for a safe and engaging space for my own child to spend a couple of hours. I didn't just want a place to play; I wanted somewhere she would genuinely love and where I felt comfortable leaving her.

Now, as a mother of three and with a wealth of experience and passion for this project, I feel confident in providing that very space for other parents. A place where you can drop off your child without feeling guilty for needing a little time for yourself, knowing that they are in a loving, nurturing environment.

My wonderful team shares the same values and passion as I do, and I am certain your child will love Little Stars as much as I have loved creating it for you and them."

  • Parents needing time for appointments

  • Busy parents who need to complete a weekly shop
  • Individuals attending classes or workshops
