Child development activities in Twickenham

“I’ve had such a positive experience with Monkey Puzzle Twickenham. The staff are warm and attentive, and you can see how much care they put into creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for the children. My little one has settled in so well and comes home happy and excited to share what they’ve learned each day.”

“Our son, who is 2yrs old now, has been at Beaumont House full time since he was 11 Months old. We have a very good communication with the staff, everybody is very caring, flexible and attentive to him. He is very happy going to the nursery, that's the principal for us. He loves doing messy play, singing, playing in the garden and participating to lots of the experiences that it is proposed!”

“We have had an absolutely wonderful experience with Greenwood Nursery. Coming from a previous nursery where a serious case of abuse had been announced a year ago, trusting a new setting again was not easy for us. At first, we also weren’t fully convinced by the layout, as the nursery is split into two separate buildings. But in the end, this turned out to be a real positive;everything runs smoothly, and the setup actually works incredibly well. The staff are truly fantastic. They provide detailed handovers every day and post frequently on the app, where we can clearly see how busy and engaged they are with the children. Our child was excited to go to nursery every morning and absolutely loved every single member of the team. One of the things we appreciate the most is the variety of activities they offer. They don’t just stay indoors;they take the children out regularly, and they even organised visits to a local care home. This is one of the most heartwarming activities we’ve seen, benefiting both the children and the elderly residents. They also go to the playground twice a day, and at the end of our son’s final day, he came home with a whole bag full of arts and crafts he had made. Although our son is now in school and attends a different nursery for afterschool hours (purely for convenience), we truly miss Greenwood. One of their standout qualities is their openness: parents can come inside at pick-up, walk in freely, and see the children in action without making them uncomfortable or interrupting. This transparency gave us a huge sense of trust and peace of mind;something we haven’t found elsewhere, where doors barely open and everything feels much more closed off. At Greenwood, you can pop in at any time and see exactly what’s going on. They have nothing to hide, and it shows. We would 100% recommend this nursery to any parent. For us, it’s the best nursery in town. If they had an outdoor space, it would be a 10/10;but since they go outside twice a day anyway, I think they fully deserve that 10/10. Definitely give them a try. We’re so grateful for the amazing experience they provided our little one.”

“My two kids are very happy at Teddies- staff are brilliant!”

“Theresa & Gemma run a very good nursery. We have been very pleased with how our son has developed and how well he has been treated. The live updates every day while he is there is a great feature”

“Our daughter is incredibly happy here. The team is extremely professional and the level of care is exceptional. The Montessori approach has also helped our daughter with her self confidence and independence.”

“Fabulous nursery staff are friendly helpful and really care about each individual child in their care. The children love going to nursery and all seem happy at the end of every day. The activities help the development of the children and their nurturing focus is excellent.”

“The one oclock club is like the dream backgarden but of your best friends house so you don’t have to tidy up! Your children can run wild with no shoes, get wonderfully wet and grubby and generally have a bit of a 90s childhood experience. There a thousand different toys to play and experiment. I’ve got a 4 year old and a 1 year old and it suits them both perfectly. They can explore the space independently and it’s the perfect size for me to keep an eye on them without hovering over them. We love it!”

“Such a wonderful school,all members of staff were so polite when we visited.5*”

“HKF is a really fantastic nursery. We had two children who went there, and the staff really got to know them and supported their unique personalities. The nursery has a lovely garden that the children use all the time for outdoor learning and exploring. Monika, the owner and manager, is in every day and knows all the children, which is really reassuring. There’s always plenty going on with lots of activities, but the kids also get time to chill out when they need it. What really stood out for us was how great the staff are at helping children understand and manage their emotions, teaching kindness, and letting them grow in their own way. We honestly couldn’t recommend HKF more!”

“Very happy with the care provided and the facilities are amazing ❤️”

“Since joining the nursery, we’ve seen such a positive change in our child’s development — not only in learning but also socially and emotionally. The staff are incredibly nurturing and attentive, always making the children feel safe, valued, and encouraged. Communication with parents is excellent; we always feel informed and involved in our child’s progress and daily activities. The learning environment is bright, engaging, and well-organized, with a great mix of structured learning and free play. It’s clear the team genuinely cares about each child’s individual needs and happiness. We’re really grateful to have found a setting that feels like a second home.”

“Loving, creative childcare setting run by an expert team in a great environment. Our son has loved attending and really grown as as a person. Highly recommended”

“Wonderful nursery! My little one is really happy there. Staff is brilliant, caring and supportive. From the beautiful ambient of Marble Hill Park to delicious and nutritious food lovingly prepared daily. Teachers and management who genuinely care for children and their families. Great option for outdoorsy kids.”

“Excellent school very dedicated staff”

“My son just started here and he absolutely loves it! To the point he cries to not go home! I am so impressed by the school, the location is lovely and the teachers great, he has honestly been so happy so far, I would say it is worth every penny!”

“My daughter has attended for over a year now and absolutely loves it. Her development is helped so much by being there and she regularly surprises me with how capable she is in doing things thanks to the nursery activities. They do lots of fun activities but also very practical ones like cooking, prepping vegetables, personal hygiene, using scissors etc. Knowing how happy and content she is really helps with my mum guilt. It may not be the flashiest nursery in the area but for caring for the kids and delivering a good experience, you can't get better.”

“My son had such a wonderful time at kerswell, the staff was amazing. He is now in school and his little sister has started back in January and loves going there. The children are very well cared for. The transition from preschool to school was very smooth too, he had learn everything he needed to be confident before starting reception.”
