Welcome to First Steps Pre-School

Where every child can flourish, explore & develop

irst Steps Pre-School is based in Blackheath Village, South-East London, and provides a warm and engaging setting for children aged 9 months to 5 years.

We believe in the inherent curiosity and wonder of young children, and nurturing this is at the heart of everything we do.

At First Steps, children are encouraged to follow their curiosity, engage in imaginative play, and explore their own learning pathways. We would love to meet you and your little one!

We help make learning fun for your child.

When your child spends time at First Steps Pre-School, they’ll discover their passion for learning in our spacious play areas, including our garden and forest area, all designed to bring out their full potential and show them just how fun learning can be.

Why Choose Us?

We provide an innovative, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children develop independence, confidence, and a positive sense of themselves and the world around them.
At First Steps, learning extends far beyond the classroom. Our spacious outdoor areas, including our dedicated forest space, allow children to explore nature, build resilience, and learn through real-world experiences. Inside, our Montessori-inspired approach encourages independence, curiosity, and a genuine love of learning, with thoughtfully organised spaces that feel warm, welcoming, and homely.

Our team is deeply committed to each child’s wellbeing and development, ensuring First Steps truly feels like a home away from home. We pride ourselves on creating a safe, caring environment where every child is known, valued, and supported to reach their full potential.

Call us on 020 8852 1233 to arrange a visit. 
We look forward to hearing from you!
