Working Mums Daycare & Pre-School Centre in Mortlake was established in 1992. Located in a charming single-story converted Edwardian school building, we offer high-quality care and education for up to 76 children, from three months old until they transition to school.
The nursery is organised into two age groups. Our youngest children are based in the Sea Turtles room, from three months to just over two years old, while our Dolphins room supports children aged two to four. Both groups have direct access to their own outdoor gardens, with an additional play and gardening area at the front of the setting. Outdoor learning is a core feature of nursery life, giving children daily opportunities to explore, discover and play in natural surroundings.
We follow a learn-through-play pedagogy, offering a broad and balanced range of learning opportunities that extend from the children’s own interests. Our curriculum supports every child to become a confident, engaged and motivated learner, preparing them for their next steps in education.
Our greatest strength is our team, and we are proud to have a number of long-standing practitioners, some of whom have been part of the setting for over a decade. This consistency provides children and families with a warm, familiar and trusted environment throughout their early years journey.
Our management team

Jenny Gooch, Nursery Manager
Jenny has been part of Working Mums since 1992, joining when the Mortlake setting first opened and Working Mums Daycare & Preschool was established. Starting off as a member of our cover staff after leaving school, she quickly discovered her passion for early years and knew she wanted to build her career in childcare. Jenny progressed through a range of roles, becoming NVQ Level 3 qualified in Early Childhood Care and Education, and gaining experience across all age groups. Her strong leadership skills and dedication to children’s development led to her appointment as Nursery Manager in 2014.

Manjit Patel, Deputy Nursery Manager
Manjit joined our Mortlake Nursery in February 2008. Before joining Working Mums, she developed extensive experience caring for children aged four months to four years through her work as a nanny. She has vocational qualifications in childcare and education, along with a degree in psychology.
Manjit loves working with young children because every day is full of surprises, and thanks to them she gets to work in a lively, fun and happy environment. Outside of work she enjoys spending time with friends and family, especially her two sons.
