Weekend Childcare That Works for London Families
At Hatching Dragons, we recognise that work, life, and parenting don’t follow a neat five-day schedule. Our weekend childcare and weekend school services are designed to support working parents, promote child development, and reflect the real needs of families living and working in London today.
We don’t just provide childcare. We provide structure, learning, and peace of mind, every Saturday and Sunday.

Why Weekend Childcare Is More Than Convenience
In a city like London, where dual-income households are essential and the cost of living keeps rising, access to flexible, high-quality weekend daycare is a necessity, not a luxury.
Our weekend childcare is designed to:
- Support workforce productivity.
- Enable economic participation for parents with non-traditional hours.
- Foster cognitive and emotional development during critical early years.
- Provide continuity in learning outside the standard week.
