Child development centers in London

“Best of the best Nurcery ever !”

“Snowflakes is a great nursery. I'm really happy with it. My 1st son was there from 2009 - 2012 and I'm now back with my daughter who is just under 2. Both my children never cried going into the nursery. Staff are so nurturing , friendly, and professional. The manager is great, very approachable always receives me with a smile and willingness to help and make my daughter experience the best one. My daughter loves it there. I get daily updates with pictures of her and commetns on her development. For the very fewest times my daughter has been unwell or hurt herself whilst at nursery, staff have acted appropriately and informed me promptly. One of great things I love is also the fact that everything is included, from nappies, to milk, to food. For me as a working mum that is great, not to have to worry about having to pack a bag everyday.”

“Excellent Nursery. Great Staff and facilities. My kids have really developed and I have seen a notable difference. Would highly recommend to anyone without hesitation.”

“Five stars really aren't enough. I knew exactly what i was looking for when searching for childcare for my son, I have found that at Kidz village.When I drop my son off I have peace of mind and know he is well cared for. It really is a second home. The food provided is great quality, my son gladly has extra portions. Activies are varied and provide great learning experiences. Communication with the owner has been seamless, from my initial enquiries when registering to updates on my sons progress. All staff are polite and well informed and give great advice. I couldn't ask for anymore! Thank you Kidz Village!”

“Absolutely love Little Kits - the girls who run it are just totally wonderful too! I always get so many compliments from other parents on the hire stuff whenever I have it at my children’s parties. It means I don’t have to buy extra crockery, picnic rugs, cushions etc, and find somewhere to store it all, just for parties - or worse, buy disposable stuff! Such a great company, highly highly recommend them!”

“My little one and I have just completed the Baby Development course run by Frances. As a new mum it's quite nerve-wracking trying a baby sensory class wondering whether it's the right one for you and your baby, and having tried a few it's safe to say that we have found the perfect class for me and my baby. The classes have been quite small and intimate which has allowed us to get to know Frances well, as well as interact with other new mums. She is really invested in all the babies and parents that attend her session. We love her sessions, have learnt baby massage skills which I still use on my baby every evening as part of his bed time routine as well as some of the sign language and songs. We can't wait for discovery tots which is the next level up from baby development.”

“Little Acorns Montessori School - A Haven for Independent and Curious Learners Our experience with Little Acorns Montessori School has been a transformative journey, especially for our two sons. This nursery isn't just a place for learning; it's a vibrant, nurturing environment that embodies the essence of Montessori education. The school's commitment to the Montessori principles is evident in every aspect, significantly impacting our children's development. Both our sons have shown remarkable progress in academic areas such as writing, phonics, and numeracy. However, what truly sets Little Acorns apart is how it has nurtured them into becoming independent and curious learners. This transformation is a clear testament to the effectiveness of the Montessori method practiced at the school. The school offers a range of activities beyond the traditional curriculum, including dancing and French lessons, which our sons absolutely love. These activities not only supplement their learning but also cater to their diverse interests, fostering a joyous and holistic educational experience. The atmosphere at Little Acorns is akin to a warm, welcoming family. This sense of community and belonging, fostered by the dedicated staff, makes the school a true home away from home for our children. In summary, Little Acorns Montessori School stands out as an exemplary institution for parents who value not only academic excellence but also the overall development of their children. Our sons' growth into independent and curious learners is a direct reflection of the nurturing, Montessori-centered environment that Little Acorns provides. We wholeheartedly recommend this school to any parent seeking a comprehensive, caring, and enriching educational experience for their children.”

“Absolutely fantastic nursery, the staff is so friendly and always going for the extra mile for the kids and for parents! I see the staff all absolutely love their job and I couldn't be any happier! My son is still attending there and absolutely loving the Football (and other sports) on Wednesdays! His language skills and knowledge of the letters and numbers have significantly increased! Best nursery ever! Keep up the amazing work! Well done!”

“Living in Notting Hill, you’re spoiled for choice of nurseries. I toured every one and my decision was easy. Being in Ladbroke Square Montessori feels like a warm hug. You can literally feel the joy exuding from the place. The children are engaged and thoughtful and most importantly thrilled to be there. The school truly puts children first. Offering every child a morning spot is a perfect example of this since most children are still napping when they start nursery. The lovely garden in the back and weekly visits to the gorgeous Ladbroke Square are two amazing perks. My daughter is actually disappointed on weekends because she is not going to nursery. She’s learned key skills and is set up for success to have a smooth transition to reception. I have made lifelong friends there as well as my children. I have now sent 2 children to nursery at Ladbroke Square. Best decision I ever made. It’s such a special place.”

“Les Chatons is simply a wonderful nursery -- we couldn't ask for a better place to send our 3 year old. She has been attending Les Chatons for over a year and in that time has developed in so many aspects, not least in her grasp of French and Spanish. Our daughter absolutely loves the wonderful teachers and her time there, so much so that she has asked me to increase the number of days that she attends. Marie-Laurence impressed us from our first meeting with her when we were looking at different nurseries. She clearly has a deep knowledge of early education and has done an amazing job at combining skills development with a warm, caring and fun environment that allows plenty of space for kids to be kids. Les Chatons also stands apart in how flexible they are in accommodating different schedules and how well they communicate with us as parents, both on a daily basis and with termly progress reports and meetings. I cannot say enough good things about Les Chatons -- we, and importantly, our daughter, absolutely love the nursery and staff and will be very sad to move on! Thank you Marie-Laurence and all the Les Chatons staff!”

“I don’t have enough words to express my gratitude to Little Angels and the staff of the baby room. It was the best choice we could have for our little one to start nursery. Cindy, Bharti, Rebekka, Christina and Makia, were all a delight to have as our baby’s caregivers/teachers. They were caring and loving and made our baby love going to nursery. Besides the amazing stuff, the learning & development plan was very well prepared. We could see all the development our baby made thanks to these people and their patience and hard work. I would blindly recommend this nursery, especially as a safe start for your baby and their transition from home with parents to first time in nursery. Thanks for everything!”

“As a mother, I can wholeheartedly say that KidsLab is the best nursery in Canary Wharf — if not all of London. My son joined them just before his first birthday and settled in within a week without much hassle. Since I was a working mom, I always felt I might miss out on important milestones, but the staff at KidsLab never made me feel that way. I received pictures and videos of all the special moments, and that made such a difference. What really sets them apart is how they include parents in the journey. The staff genuinely take the time to get to know the child through conversations with parents, so they can support each child better. I have had so many warm, thoughtful chats with the team, they are not transactional at all, and always make you feel like part of a family. The staff truly care, and they ensure that the children are constantly learning through activities, rhymes, garden playtime, drama, and dance classes — making sure there is holistic development and lots of joy in the process. My son is a curious, active child, and I have seen incredible growth, not just intellectually but also emotionally and socially. He has learnt empathy, discipline, and how to thrive in a social setup. I often get compliments about how intelligent he is, and a lot of that credit goes to the amazing team at KidsLab. Huge, huge kudos to Juliana, Runi, Danielle, Vanessza, Radhika, and every single member of the team. As a mother, I can proudly say KidsLab is a wonderful place, and I couldn’t recommend it more if you are looking for a nurturing, engaging nursery for your little one.”

“Amazing nursery to say the least. Staff very attentive, caring and really care about the development of the children definitely a home away from home experience for both my children who attended”

“Sad that my little one is leaving to go to big school, my daughter loved coming here, they taught her so much and is definitely ready for school and have done so well getting her ready for school. Some of the things my daughter has learnt is amazing! The staff work hard, all the staff are so lovely and the manager is so passionate about every child being her little treasure. The difference between other nurseries and this nursery is that Michelle (manager) does not see the nursery as a ‘business’ but a home where she treats all the families and children like her own and is very supportive. Thank you little treasures and to all you special staff who looked after my daughter… we will be back and pop by for visits ❤️”

“Both of my children attend Stepping Stones Nursery in Hillingdon and absolutely love it. The staff are warm, caring, and really dedicated. My kids are learning so much and always come home happy. We get regular updates through the app and during parents’ meetings, which helps us stay involved. Highly recommend!”

“My son has been coming here for over a year now and he absolutely loves it. The staff are amazing, he gets up to all sorts of wonderful activities, the place itself is spotlessly clean and full of imaginative and fun things for children to get on with. He has nutritious meals (and they succeed in getting him to eat more vegetables than I can!) and he goes off in the mornings smiling and happy to be spending the day here. When I moved to Walton I viewed a few nurseries but Monkey Puzzle was by far the best I saw. An outstanding place - Annoo and Aary, thank you for being the best nursery provider for my son!”

“My little one has attended Little Green Forest Nursery since she was 16 months and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. It is visible to parents how much they care about children, the continuos progress & learning and the support the team offers if any concerns arise. My daughter goes in every day with a smile and that’s the best reassurance you can for ask for as a parent. The whole team is professional, approachable and caring. Thanks for doing such a great job!”

“Five stars with bells on! Our two children adore Vicarage Christ Church nursery. Our eldest still talks about being there with huge affection and remembers so many of the incredible activities they did. These ranged from free play to playing with foam to cooking to topic-based craft activities. The children play outside on tricycles, slides, obstacle courses and have story time under the trees. The dedicated and fun staff take the on regular walks onto Sheen Common and sometimes on Nursery excursions to see the trains or into Richmond Park. Meanwhile, embedded within all their learning is an understanding of letters, sounds, numbers and developing social skills. Our youngest is still at the nursery and runs to see his teachers with excitement every morning. The children all look adorable in their red and white smocks and we regularly see photographs and are provided with updates of their activities and on their progress. Both our children grew in confidence in the teachers (who have been their for ages) care, and I couldn’t think of a better nursery and start to their schooling than Vicarage Christ Church Nursery.”

“Ever since my child attended this nursery they flourished even more. The nursery allowed them to explore and be creative understanding that each child is unique. The staff are hardworking and genuinely care about the children. Professional and prompt in responding to parents enquires. I now have my second child and will be enrolling them here once they are old enough. I only wish they would accept younger kids!”
