About LADYBIRD NURSERIES LIMITED

The heart of Ladybird Nurseries is simple: we provide a genuine home-from-home environment. Run by the same family since 1995, we believe the best foundation for a child is built on trust, warmth, and decades of experience. Our family ethos is expressed through partnership — by working closely with every family, we create a secure, nurturing space that allows each child the confidence and opportunity to thrive and fulfil their unique potential.

Ladybird Nurseries began in 1995. Inspired by her son Eshan's positive experience at our Anerley setting, Priya took over the nursery that year. She was soon driven to expand, opening our Beckenham nursery in 1997, guided by a commitment to personal, family-led care.

As both settings gained an excellent local reputation, Eshan joined his mother after university to help grow the Ladybird group. Together, they opened Ladybird Penge in 2017 and Ladybird Thornsett in 2020.

Our commitment to quality, supportive care continues to drive us forward. For this latest stage of growth, the family team expanded further: Eshan was joined by his wife Rusika, his brother Rohan, and his sister-in-law Serena. Together, this expanded team is delighted to announce the opening of two new exceptional nurseries at the end of 2025: Ladybird Bromley and Ladybird Chalfont.
