Child development in Welling

“My son is neurodivergent and has anxiety. The staff at holiday club were really good at reassuring him and helping him have a good time, thank you.”

“I am very happy that I chose this nursery. My son loved it from the first days. All the members made his adaptation very easy and pleasant, so much that the first week when I came to pick him up, he was crying because he didn't want to leave. Thank you all for the care, love, support and contribution to my child's development. It’s been amazing seeing him happy to attend and spend his days at little smile! I definitely recommend it!”

“Little Learners Northwood is a wonderful nursery with a team of caring and nurturing staff who really do go above and beyond for the children. My son has been attending for a year and is thriving thanks to the wonderful team. They take great care of all the children and are so friendly and welcoming. It's wonderful to recieve pictures during the day to see what our son has been up to. Every day the teachers set up different activities based on themes throughout the year such as mothers day, diwali, Halloween, Christmas etc. We are so pleased we chose Little Learners for our son.”

“this is excellent I hope there is a new version of this THANKS by the way I absolutely enjoy using this google app BYE”

“Great school, great lunch choices, great teachers, unsure of the politics however.”

“It's my children's (Temilola and Pharrell) school . They say it's amazing . The headteacher is Mr Craft , but I April it would be Ms(Mrs) Scotts.”

“This forest is just so magical. You feel how old and ancient everything is. There's a church nearby, and some of the graves are from people who were alive in the 1800s, which is really cool. I would recommend coming here if you love forests and exploring!”

“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!”

“My daughter has been at Creative Explorers since she was 9 months old and is now 2. She loves it! The staff are welcoming and informative. Letting us know everything that's been going on when we collect her. I can't recommend this nursery enough.”

“Like all parents, I was anxious about sending my 1 yr old daughter to nursery when I returned to work but I didn’t need to worry – the nursery is a real gem & she loved it from day one. Little Aisha has a warm, friendly, family feel and the staff genuinely care about the kids. Our daughter really bonded with her key workers in butterfly and caterpillar room . We couldn’t ask for more in terms of the support, love & attention she receives.”

“We’ve sent both our DS to this nursery over the last 3 years. The consistency of care is fantastic; same consistent carers mean they have really taken care and helped our sons to develop. They worked with us through any “leaps”, teething or potty training situations. The chef David has been amazing, catering to their dietary needs (vegetarian, no onion/ garlic) with a smile and enthusiasm. The boys over the years have really enjoyed each day and their time especially with the Montessori approach. We get verbal feedback at the end of each day (whether a quick brief or more detailed as required). We loved that the boys were taken outside to the green common next door whenever feasible and were exposed weekly to music afternoons and exercise / sport sessions. They come back having painted, played, read books, learnt about culture and everything in between. The carers have been amazing - Kim, Rosa, Camilla, Lucy, Tiana, Prima, Cara, Leena, and recently Saheeda - we’ve known most of these over the last 3 years if not all of them (and they are still there!) - that consistency of presence and care has been incredible in providing a “second home” to our children. They know our boys, and saw them grow up from less than 12 months of age to 3 years. It was a really warming and caring environment which helped nurture our sons at such a young age. The love given to them (even at their worst times) was and has been invaluable. We’ve (all of us) had a truly happy experience with the fortune green team. From our perspective and from what I heard from parents at other nurseries, this is the one of the best nurseries in West Hampstead; despite others perhaps being more convenient location wise, or “newer”. Finally, this review has not come as a one-off assessment or as a new parent who recently joined; it’s over 2-3 years of experience with two very different type of DS. Thank you to the fortune green team for being there with us for our boys; my wife and I will not forget our time together and for ALL the right reasons. Lots of love S&K, A&V.”

“Great staff, l remember when my baby got his BCG , it was a cold and rainy day but it ended up being a good day for my baby and l , the place was conducive for breastfeeding and relaxing and the staff were all so nice ,my baby was still a newborn and l was exhausted but that day my energy was boosted and made me more confident of going out and wanting to attend more class.”

“So you need to get your new born vaccinated? And you love somewhere within a 4 mile radius of tolworth? Then this is your centre. If you are driving there, please plan some additional time to find parking. Take your pram with you in case you have to walk a distance from where you parked to the centre. Situated right next to a school is this brilliant children's centre with absolutely amazing staff! We went in for a BCG and it was a breeze once we were inside. The staff was fantastic from welcoming and helping my pregnant wife with carrying the baby seat, guiding us to the waiting room, then the vaccination staff was intelligent and well informed on all things about the vaccine, explained all the potential side effects and how to care for the area that was vaccinated etc. all was done in less than 5 minutes. Wearing layers of baby clothes that are easy to remove and put back on would be ideal. I prefer the zip ones to the buttoned ones.”

“We love munchkins! It’s the best small soft play in the area. Really wonderful friendly staff who run the cafe and cook delicious food. Plenty of space for the children to play and also for the adults to sit down!! We have been visiting since our son was around 10 months old he’s now nearly two and it’s still great!! Thanks team we always enjoy it! Xx”

“Sutherland has been a great nursery! Our son really enjoyed his time there, but he had to leave due to relocation. The highlight was the staff who were very kind and sweet. My son settled very well after a couple of weeks. He often wanted a morning cuddle from the staff with a smile on his face when I dropped him off in the morning. They did lots of fun activities, like making cards, costume party, celebration for national book day and sensory activities. The management team is very responsive. When I asked about the dietary plan and requested more meals with meat/fish, they acted in a few days to increase to 4 days/week with meat/fish. We also like their onsite kitchen so all the food could be prepared freshly for our son :) Their financial manager Julia is very friendly and helpful. She usually replies my email promptly with detailed answers. When my son needed to leave after giving notice, they made some adaptation for our schedule and waived some of the fee. That was very appreciated! We were a bit shocked by the 48hr quarantine policy regardless of the child's illness. That was challenging for us as two full-time working parents, but the manager said that policy will be reviewed in the future. Overall, our experience with Sutherland was great!”

“Great nursery! The staff are always caring and lovely and the facilities are great! They are working really closely with my daughter to speed up her language and emotional development and I couldn't be more happy of the results! She is now really chatty and much more confident! Absolutely recommended!”

“The school is very open to new ideas and suggestions. I have found that the staff are welcoming, polite and hard working. my daughter enjoys going there. The secondary section of the school is new and i can see that the headmaster and the rest of the staff are trying to improve all areas of the school. I think the school needs more help and input from parents.”

“As a teacher of the school I feel very happy with the way I am supported by the management and the community. Lovely environment.”

“My daughter has been going to this nursery since we came out of the first lockdown and she absolutely loves it. We haven't had any negative experiences or reasons to complain. The first time we went to view the nursery, we were amazed at the space the children have to play and explore. The staff are always welcoming and ready to have a chat about your child's progress. A lot of times when my daughter comes back from nursery, she role plays her experience with her dolls and teddy bears like she is teaching them, that really helps me to see how she is developing. I am grateful for the teachers and the work they are doing. As a parent, I have the comfort in knowing that Ethelred Nursery is providing the best environment for my daughters growth right now.”

“Went here with my friend and children what a lovely place for children to be children free snacks and lots to do. Very friendly and helpful staff especially the reception team I had to write a review after reading lots of negatives ones I don't know why these are on there they are not seeing what I'm seeing good work John Smith keep it up...”

“Love the workshops and stay and play”

“This the best nursery I’ve ever come across. The staff are always doing their best to help improve with the development of the children. Qualified, very professional and most caring. I’ve visited many nurseries prior to finding this nursery and easily far much better in terms of providing social and learning activities. Now I have peace of mind. I can’t recommend this nursery enough.”

““Kindred Nursery is the best in the area! The nursery manager is very supportive and accommodating, and the staff are amazing. My child struggled to settle in a previous nursery, but here he quickly felt comfortable and was happily staying for 5 hours. He absolutely loves his teachers, especially Kezia, and the whole team is wonderful. Truly the best experience we could ask for!””

“Carolina was absolutely amazing! She was so helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. Her communication was excellent, she replied quickly to all my messages and kept me updated every step of the way. Thanks to her efficiency and dedication, I managed to find a job within just a couple of days! I’m so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a job through Little Ones.”

“My son and daughter attended Effra Nursery and I they loved it there. The teachers are so attentive and very friendly. My children left knowing how to write their names, read words and start to understand numbers. Would recommend to anyone.”

“This park is good for playing and for walking dogs but there are not as many ducks as in the other park down the road with the big pond. There are swings here though.”

“This place and it's staff, are genuinely amazing. They provide an excellent service, maintain a caring and nurturing environment and really care about what they do. They treat the kids like extended family, and my kids adore being there.”

“Great initiative. My daughter always comes home happy and full of stories of what she has gotten up to. ;-)”

“Great service, very well coming”
