More2Childcare and More2Riverside: Award-Winning Nurseries in Greenwich Celebrate Platinum Accreditation
| Kelly Salambasis
We are absolutely delighted to announce that More2Childcare and More2Riverside – two of the leading nurseries in Greenwich – have been awarded the Jigsaw Early Years Platinum #JustQuality Accreditation. This is not just a badge – it is a powerful reflection of our team's passion, dedication, and commitment to delivering outstanding early years education.
Unlike a one-off inspection like Ofsted, the #JustQuality Accreditation takes place over time. In our case, it spanned four years of continuous reflection and improvement, with evidence gathered across every part of the nursery. Each room at both sites compiled their own floor book, with a master book produced for leadership, showcasing how we deliver exceptional early years care and education in a way that’s both consistent and impactful.
This accreditation sets us apart – as far as we are aware to date, we are currently the only nursery in the borough of Greenwich to hold the Platinum award. It's a testament to the exceptional work taking place in every room, every day.
A Nursery in Greenwich Where Children Truly Thrive
What makes More2Childcare and More2Riverside such special places for children and families?
The answer lies in our approach. Our rooms are not just well-resourced – they are thoughtfully set up with open-ended materials, child-led provocations, and guided play experiences that encourage curiosity, exploration, and creativity. Children don’t just play – they investigate, imagine, and grow.
The STEAM curriculum (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Maths) plays a central role in both settings, connecting learning to the local Greenwich community. From real-life problem-solving projects to science experiments and art installations, children are immersed in meaningful, hands-on activities that prepare them for a world of discovery.
Inclusive Practice at the Heart of What We Do
Our inclusive ethos shines throughout both nurseries. Our dedicated and experienced SENCO works closely with families and external agencies to ensure that every child’s individual needs are recognised, supported, and celebrated. Whether your child is developing typically or requires extra support, our teams are ready to adapt, listen, and create the best possible path forward.
We’re also committed to staff development. Ongoing training in areas like heuristic play, peer observation, reflective practice, and attachment-led care ensures that our educators are constantly growing and improving. When you choose our Greenwich nursery, you’re choosing a team that never stands still – one that’s always asking, “What next?” and “How can we do better?”
What Is the #JustQuality Accreditation?
If you’re wondering what this prestigious accreditation involves, here’s a quick overview:
The #JustQuality Accreditation is a year-long reflective process that allows early years settings to demonstrate how they’re having a real impact on children’s lives. Using the IMPACT Method, which focuses on intent, implementation, and impact, staff build evidence across six key areas:
- #Reflection
- #Protection
- #Interaction
- #Inspiration
- #Progression
- #Collaboration
Each room works through a detailed specification book, adding photos, case studies, planning documents, and observations. The goal is to demonstrate how every decision made in the nursery is intentional, effective, and impactful – leading to better outcomes for children.
With over 700 settings across the UK working towards this accreditation, achieving the Platinum level is a huge honour, and we are beyond proud to share this success with our families and wider Greenwich community.
