Our Summary
About Us
Yeeha! Childcare established in 2009, OFSTED rated Outstanding Across All Areas.
We have two settings providing traditional full time childcare at our Heber Road home-from-home site and a second setting, offering flexible childcare at our Grove Vale Soft Play Drop In Centre.
Yeeha!'s Heber Road setting is the only provision in the area; owned and operated by an experienced and long standing fully qualified team of Early Years Educators, providing unrivalled quality childcare within a residential home-from-home setting in the heart of East Dulwich.
Our Heber Road setting provides a high quality home-from-home environment for children aged 10 months to 5 years to thrive emotionally and developmentally; building lifelong positive relationships with their peers, a love of learning, the joy of music as well as the wonder of the wildlife on our doorstep.
Tailor made activities are tailored for individual children to encourage and support growth of skills and passions.
We employ expert planning to support expected development, allowing children to reach their full potential through optimal opportunities within a truly enabling environment.
We have dedicated and fully equipped activity rooms including: music room, making room, library, front and rear enclosed gardens with sand play, water play, climbing frame, slide and swing, tool station, home corner, mud kitchens and container gardening. We have a beautiful, dedicated and cosy nursery room for children to nap during the day in comfort.
For children aged 2 and above, we offer our Wider Horizons summer Forest School, where Yeeha! children spend 4 weeks off site at Peckham Rye Park enjoying shelter building, pond and stream dipping, bug hunts, tree walks, bird ID, colour walks and tree climbing etc.
Yeeha! Also has a full rod organic allotment. Here, fully mobile children enjoy planting, watering, harvesting and eating organic fruits and vegetables, securing a positive relationship with healthy foods and an understanding of where and how foods are grown. The importance of wildlife, the seasons and hands-on experience of growing fruits and vegetables underpins children's connection with the natural world, their place in it and the foundations of science/knowledge and understanding of the world.
Our Heber Rd home from home setting, provides an exceptionally enabling environment supporting children to achieve emotional security, joyful socialisation and child lead developmental success, operating Monday to Friday 8am - 6pm year round.

I chose Yeeha for my daughter after removing her from an Outstanding nursery I was unhappy with. Yeeha appealed to me because I liked the people running it and working there and wanted my daughter to be around positive role-models. I liked the way they spoke to, interacted with and engaged with my daughter and there was a warm, friendly and fun atmosphere - with a dozen children of different ages. She ate healthy home cooked meals and I liked the premises - a welcoming home which was always spotless - my daughter always went happily in the morning and always came home clean and dry. Overall I knew she was safe and I trusted she was being well cared for. On pick up I was given verbal feedback and also sent the occasional photograph. I feel lucky to have sent my daughter there.
Overall
My daughter was with Yeeha! from the age of 1 to 5 years. Having looked at many nurseries, I could tell that Yeeha! was a very special and unique place from the moment I walked in - and I felt so relieved to have found somewhere that I immediately knew she would not only be safe, but happy and nurtured. A home from home, with people she could build a trusting relationship with. And indeed right from the first drop off, my little girl went in happy and I felt assured she was in the great hands.
Over the years that we were at Yeeha! the team played an invaluable role in my daughter's development and in preparing her (at the right time) for key stages, toilet training, greater socialisation, preparation for school etc . So much care and attention was given to the development of skills and nurturing of her personality with a great range of tailored activities. The team were always there to listen, give guidance and discuss how to overcome any challenges that inevitably arise as children grow, which was hugely appreciated.
I can't recommend Yeeha! highly enough to anyone looking for early year's childcare. It really is quite exceptional. I think I was as sad as my daughter to leave when the first year of school came around!

We could not speak more highly of Yeeha! and the exceptional care both our children receive there. Our daughter, now nearly 5 has been at Yeeha! since she was 11 months old and our son, now 18 months, since he was a year.
We absolutely love the home from home setting and the wonderful staff. We fully support and value their ethos and approach to child development whether it be through music, play or simply showering them with love. Our daughter has thrived there over the past four years, we’re so proud of the way she’s developed and grown with their help and support and now it really feels like she’s perfectly prepared for her start at school - emotionally, physically and developmentally thanks to the relatively small, nurturing and secure environment Yeeha! provides.
Along her Yeeha! journey our daughter has been lucky enough to form close friendships with four of her cohorts, who remain firm friends despite most of them leaving the setting the year before her. All of them bright, gorgeous and play wonderfully together and we know Yeeha had a huge hand in this. Our daughter was made to feel very special when they left, with bespoke activities planned just for her and she has continued to form bonds with other children in the setting even though they are that little bit younger.
We’ve had an extremely positive experience with Yeeha!, both our children are happy and excited to go there with our 18 month old son now running through the door behind his sister. If you’re looking for somewhere that will support and guide you as you bring up your child with the help of their professional yet intimate and loving setting and all it has to offer, we most certainly recommend Yeeha!

My daughter went to Yeeha from just under 2 years old to 4 and had simply the best time. The care and attention to the children is absolute. Every member of staff is totally part of the team and they stay. Consistency is so important and that’s what the children get. Consistent great care. She loved every day and has made friends for life, we were supported as parents and we all throughly loved the experience couldn’t recommend more.
P.s.a year later we still discuss how good the “bake” is the food was always a hit so if you have a fussy eater would throughly recommend.

Our son, Harry, attended Yeeha! from
10 months, 4 days a week until he went to school. During his time at Yeeha! he was treated in a loving and caring environment that optimised his development in all respects – personal, physical and emotional.
Harry was very happy during his time at Yeeha! and loved by the staff that worked there – the high retention of staff and the pleasant surroundings of the premises would have contributed to this.
We would highly recommend Yeeha! to any other family considering childcare in the local area.
