About the Employer

Funky Owls Nursery is situated in the heart of Colliers Wood, just a stone’s throw from the underground, and local bus routes, making the setting the perfect choice for busy working parents. Behind our doors, you will find a beautifully sustainable, natural environment, where children are excited to learn, and practitioners are excited to teach. In 2022, Ofsted noted “The setting is committed to using more eco-friendly products and natural materials.“ At the same time, nestled amongst the Wandle Park, Colliers Wood Recreation Ground, and on the doorstep of Merton Abbey Mills, there is an abundance of opportunities for our children to extend their learning beyond the setting on their daily excursions. We believe our children should have the opportunity to explore their local surroundings and be involved in their local community. Our most recent Ofsted report cites “The staff ensure that children participate in outings daily, and parents speak highly about children’s engagement within the community.”
