Joining the Dawmouse family
A warm, straightforward welcome for children aged two to five — here is everything you need to know about starting with us.
Four simple steps
1 · Get in touch
Call or email us, or book a visit through the site, and tell us a little about your child and the days you are hoping for.
2 · Come and see us
Visit the nursery, meet the team and get a genuine feel for the setting — this is the most important step of all.
3 · Register your place
When you are happy, we will help you complete a simple registration form to secure your child's place.
4 · Settle in gently
We ease every child in at their own pace, with settling sessions designed to make those first days calm and happy.
Flexible days that fit family life
We offer both morning and full-day sessions during term time, and we will happily talk through the pattern of days that works best for your family and your child's stage. Because we are a small setting, places are limited and much loved, so we always recommend getting in touch early.

Our year at a glance
Exact term and inset dates for the current academic year follow the local Hammersmith & Fulham calendar and are confirmed when your child joins us — just get in touch and we will send you the dates for this year.
