16 Families were present at the launch, joined by Councillor John Fahy, Deputy Leader of the Royal Borough of Greenwich and Cabinet Member for Children’s Services.

The event featured play sessions with puzzles, books, dressing up, and musical instruments inside. Also featured were water and sand play, painting and collage, as well as the slide outside, sampled by the Deputy Leader (below).

"With GLL and other provider organisations across the borough we are continuing to offer improvements to the services that children’s centres are able to offer to families. This new nursery will be greatly welcomed by families in Eltham."

"Children will enjoy the environment we are providing, both in and outdoors, and parents will be assured that their children are in the care of highly qualified, experienced and friendly staff. They will, of course, also be able to continue to use all the other services that the Children’s Centre offers.”
