Most London nurseries have a tiny patch of concrete where kids stare at a single dandelion for 45 minutes. Not this one. Bright Horizons Clapham has an award-worthy outdoor space with a sandpit that could double as a small beach, a climbing structure that would make a mountain goat nervous, and—get this—a mud kitchen. Yes, parents, you will be doing laundry for the rest of your natural life, but your child will come home smelling like joy and wet earth.

They also do “forest school” sessions in nearby Clapham Common, where kids learn to identify bugs and not eat poison ivy. By age three, your little darling will be better at survival than you are. I still can’t start a campfire without YouTube, but your toddler will be whittling a spoon out of a fallen branch.
