The perfect choice, on your doorstep

An award-winning Nursery to help
your child achive their best self.

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.”

Funky Owls is such a lovely nursery with fantastic staff. After our previous experiences at a larger ‘chain’ nursery, it’s been so wonderful to send our daughters to a setting with a great emphasis on community and where all the staff know all the children. An added bonus are the great extra curricular activities, such as tennis and music. Our shy 3 yo old now loves going to nursery and our cheeky 20 month old has been supported so well since she joined as a baby. We cannot fault our experience with Funky Owls and we are excited to see the new venue once it’s finished!

We have sadly had to say goodbye to Funky Owls as we are moving away from the area, but would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a loving, caring nursery where your child can flourish and have fun! The nursery is run by a couple of amazing mums who welcome you as a part of the Funky Owls family, and we always felt that they would do whatever they could to help and support our son, and also us as a family. What I found the most refreshing was the honesty of the staff/management at Funky Owls, with such clear and open communication with parents. We always felt that we were in the loop of what was happening, especially through the recent difficult times with the pandemic.

Thanks for having us as part of the Funky Owls family, we really will miss you all lots!

My daughter started at Funky Owls when she was 9 months old and I can’t believe how much she has developed over the few months she has been there. She has grown in confidence and is now a thriving bubbly one year old. The staff there are fantastic and look after and love her as though she were their own. When I drop her off in the morning, she literally dives into their arms such is the excitement to be there. Thank you to the whole team there, you are doing so much for my little girl, I can’t thank you enough!

The perfect start to our child’s journey. Our son attended Funky Owls for almost 3 years. He made great friends (he is in school with 7 or so) and enjoyed his time there immensely. The staff were warm and caring and it was always a joy to collect him at the end of a busy working day and be informed of all the fun activities he’d enjoyed. There is a “family feel” to this nursery as Zuzanna created it and shaped it using her experience to provide a nurturing setting for young, adventurous children. The nursery evolved constantly during our time there and I was always very impressed by the provisions. We have very fond memories of Funky Owls.

A lovely nursery, my daughter settled really well and loved her time there. The communication from the team was brilliant with daily updates and pictures via the app on all the activities they had been up to that day. The staff are all very friendly and supportive

Funky Owls is an absolutely wonderful nursery – my nearly 2 year old daughter adores the staff and doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day! We’ve been going from about 14 months but they take under 1s. The materials and toys they have are great – she’s learnt so much since attending the setting. The meals are so varied and made on site which I think is a real plus. She’s often going out on outings outside of the nursery which is great for her development as well. And I’ve made some friends too! Can’t recommend it more highly.
