About us
Made by local parents
Three Bonner Primary parents wanted childcare that was affordable and good. In 2014 they started it themselves.
Our story
We opened in 2014 at the Glasshouse Parkview Community Centre in Bethnal Green. Since 2015 we've been in the main hall at Globe Primary School.
We're still not for profit and still Ofsted-registered. We want every child to have a great afternoon, and every parent to know their child is in safe hands.
We're a local employer too, and a Living Wage employer. We support our staff to keep learning, and look after their wellbeing.
