Nursery School Wimbledon (Queen Road) SW19

Are you looking for a nursery school in Wimbledon that can offer your child a safe, nurturing, home from home environment?

Hello, I’m Siobhan Drewett, the Manager of Playdays Nursery School Wimbledon on Queens Road. I’ve been part of the Playdays family since 2011, and during that time, I’ve grown my career and my passion for early years education every step of the way.

I hold an NVQ Level 5 in Childcare and management and strive to be the best I can by furthering my development with a wide range of courses. I also have certificates in Food and Hygiene, Safeguarding, Safer Recruitment, Special Education needs, Staff Well-being, Inclusive Practice, Paediatric First Aid and many more. As well as myself, I strive to make each and every staff member the best they can be by sending them on a variety of courses each term so they are constantly developing their skills and knowledge and bringing new ideas for the children.

I began my journey at our Wimbledon Hill branch as a Nursery Nurse in the Toddler Room, before progressing to Head of Room for both our Toddler and Pre-School age groups. While working in the rooms, I took pride in getting to know all the children in my care individually and providing them with the support they needed, as well as guiding parents throughout their nursery experience. In 2014, I was promoted to Deputy Manager, where I gained valuable experience supporting the daily running of the nursery – before becoming acting Manager of our Queens Road setting in 2017 for a maternity cover. This strengthened my knowledge and gave me hands on experience in managing a setting. I returned to my previous position at Wimbledon Hill in 2018, however, it wasn’t long before I was proudly promoted to Manager of our Queens Road setting in 2019. Since then, I have made the Queens Road branch my own and installed my ethos within my staff team. Although I am now Manager, I still know each and every child in my care and love spending time within the rooms supporting my staff to be the best practitioner they can be as well as still making time to engage with the children and bring out their cheeky sides.

Working with children has always been my passion. I truly believe every child deserves the very best start in life, and it’s incredibly rewarding to watch them grow, learn, and develop their unique personalities. Outside of Playdays, I also run a local Rainbows and Brownies pack with my sister – something I absolutely love as it gives me another chance to nurture children’s confidence and curiosity.

At Playdays Wimbledon Queens Road, we pride ourselves on being a home-from-home nursery right in the heart of Wimbledon. Our bright, spacious rooms are all on the ground floor – no stairs to worry about – and being interlinked makes it easy for siblings to stay connected and for children to make smooth transitions between rooms.

We’re also extremely lucky to have a huge outdoor garden, giving our children plenty of fresh air and opportunities for outdoor learning and play. With nearby parks and libraries, we love to get out and about, exploring our local community and encouraging children to discover the world around them.

My team and I are committed to creating a warm, happy, and secure environment where every child feels safe, valued, and ready to learn. We work closely with parents to ensure we’re supporting each child’s individual journey – helping them develop independence, confidence, and a lifelong love for learning.

At Playdays, we’re not just caring for children, we’re helping them grow.
