Child development programs in London

“Really happy with the way my daighter Isabelle developed in all aspects. She made friends, she loves her teachers. The reception and management is also great, responsive and they don t put money first but the child wellbeing. Adapting easily to child needs and always provide a daily report. Very transparent and professional. Food is also great, many healthy and diverse choices, also i love the fact there are many events, we as parents take part too ( stay and play, macmillan breakfast etc) . Thank you team”

“Our daughter has had the best 2 years at Willows Hammersmith and we will have the fondest of memories from her time there. The staff have been tremendous throughout and there is a great atmosphere around the nursery. Blenda and her team do a fantastic job and we wish them all the very best for the future, thank you!”

“My daughter has been attending Stanmore BLS since last Sept and she loves the carers, other kids and the Milkyway room itself. She tells is what she played with on a nursery day, how she put her coat on/off etc. She has a lovely rapport with her key worker and all other carers too. She gets excited at the mention of Nursery! She is soon moving up to Orion and the team have arranged frequent visits to the room in advance so she settles easier - she seems to love the new room and I can see from the room visit that she will have a play-adventure everyday. Also happy with the webinars and learning resources BLS offer - I just attended the potty webinar this week and on the back of that we will soon be ready to implement the tools and advice to our daughter.”

“Monira is an outstanding (and award winning!) childminder and we feel very lucky to have been able to have our son attend her setting from 9 months - and soon his sibling will also be attending. The setting provides safe and professional care, and a loving family atmosphere in which all the current kids are thriving. Monira is a child whisperer, adored by all the kids and always thinking of interesting new activities for them and how best to help the older kids learn new skills. Recommended without hesitation.”

“I am very happy with the care my daughter receives at Liz Daycare Centre .The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely caring, which makes us feel confident leaving her each day. She has settled in well, enjoys the activities, and has shown noticeable progress in her social and communication skills. We really appreciate the regular updates and the welcoming environment. Thank you for all that you do. at the nursery.”

“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.”

“Both my children attend Seriously Fun Swimming and love the lessons. They have become super confident swimmers thanks to the patient and kind teachers at SFS! They look forward to going to lessons each week and the teachers make it fun a particular highlight being the end of term certificate presentation and “fun week”! I would wholeheartedly recommend SFS to all parents looking to get their children swimming confidently and loving the water!!x”

“Amazing playground. My family visited on a Friday late afternoon during half term. This place is a melting pot of multinationals, all co-existing peacefully and happily. That is why this part of London is so special”

“Very welcoming and well run. Lots of activities outside and in for all the different stages of development”

From pregnancy to the end of reception, the centre provides resources and services. The Family Hub offers drop-in sessions for parents and carers seeking information and support.For the most accurate and up-to-date details, I recommend you contact the centre directly”

“Very helpful friendly staff . Willing to offer help and advice. I am grateful”

“This is a wonderful project and shop. Affordable, high quality toys and books. Some of my sons favourite books came from here! Excited to pay it forward and bring whatever toys and books are in good condition when he outgrows them. Well worth a stop! The assistants were also very kind once when I was in with my baby and it started pouring rain. My son started crying from hunger and they let me sit down and feed him until the rain was light enough to leave. Just a kind thing that helped me out that day :)”

“My son started this nursery few months ago and he really enjoy the learning experience. Overall atmosphere is positive and motivate children to be on their best behaviour. Teachers and all staff of this school is really hardworking and approachable. I would really recommend the school to everyone. This is an outstanding Nursery.”

“Smart Play is very good nursery. A lot of educational programs for children, a good attitude of teachers towards children. A pleasant and cozy environment. My two kids attended Smart Play. Son(2018-2020y) and daughter just graduated ( 2022-2024y) My children and me love all the Smart Play staff a lot. I can confidently and happily recommend Smart Play to other parents.”

“The Nursery is very well equipped and clean. The Head Teacher and staff are excellent. Very caring and understanding each child’s needs. Had lots of fun on Grandparents Day. Would recommend it to friends and family.”

“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!”

“Well structured and modern building. The most amazing and attentive staff. The nursery makes sure they celebrate all important days as well as cultures. Very experienced management and have accommodated all of my child’s needs. Would certainly recommend!”

“Trained and experienced staff , always ready to respond to our child’s individual needs. As a Mum I would like to say Thank you for all your hard work and for creating such a positive and stimulating environment for the children . Deyar and Nazira ( beautiful ladies with beautiful hearts) have been very supportive and positive towards my child throughout the years. The graduation ceremony was very special heartwarming celebration of the children's accomplishments and a lovely way to mark their transition to the next stage of their learning journey. The children looked adorable in their gowns and mortarboards. The ceremony was well-organized and created a memorable experience for both the children and their families. We love this nursery and all the staff♥️”

“Best nursery ever! I had a very bad experience with the first nursery my son went to, when we arrived at gingerbread within the first week my son loved it!!!! It was so nice to leave him in the morning smiling and sure he will have a good time! The staff is amazing and very friendly. Kids have so many toys to play with and all the activities are fun. I will definitely recommend gingerbread! Thank you for everything ❤️”

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

“I would highly recommend this nursery (and have done so to anyone who ever asks me). Our 3 year old boy has been attending for a year and he is so happy here. He has been cared for and nutured so much by the wonderful staff, who clearly love what they do. I watch as they constantly assess his needs and ensure he's happy, does he need to let off some steam in the garden, need a nap, a snack or just some quiet time? They have a Forest School and so many activities which have provided him learning opportunities and much needed fun. The team are professional and communicative, which has always put my mind at ease. We have a 10 month old daughter who will be joining him soon and there is no where else we would rather our children develop, learn and grow. Thank you to everyone at Dulwich Oaks, for everything.”

“I cannot thank Pound Park nursery and all staff enough for my two children having a lovely year 2018-2019. Every member of staff is such an asset to the nursery and it’s so great collecting happy children who love going to that place everyday! And amazing seeing them develop with the child led approach they use. Thanks once I again I highly recommend the nursery”

“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!”

“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!”

“Our son attended Teddington Busy Bees since 2019, joining when he was 7 months old. The team and management have been so welcoming over the years and have really supported his introduction to an early years setting and encouraged his development. The nursery faced many challenges during covid 2020/2021 up to the first part of this year, but the staff balanced both covid safety messures all the while ressuring the children and parents that the nursery would be a safe ,secure friendly environment. I am truely thankful for all the wonderful memories he has created, social and physical development coupled with friendships formed with children and staff . The staff have been key in his development, regardless of which room he has been in all the staff have got to know him and continued as he moved through each room. He is now ready to start reception today , he is more than ready thanks to the wonderful team at Busy Bees. Highly recommend the nursery.”

“I could not recommend Tinkys nursery more! My daughter has been attending since age 1 and almost 3 now . From social development to academic development, my daughter has made excellent progress in her learning and social skills . Their attention to detail is next to none and they really do keep track of all activities/events each day to report to you on email and collection of your child. The freshly made nutritious meals are just another bonus. The staff are warm, friendly and approachable and my daughter is happy to see them when I drop her off and I know that she’s had a good day when I collect her as she chats about what she’s been up to. She has thrived since starting Tinkys and made special bonds with her peers and care givers . I feel confident leaving her with the lovely team knowing that she’ll have a great day and will be well cared for and treated as an individual.”

“Warm, professional, and truly child-focused Little Lamps Nursery has been amazing for my 3.5-year-old daughter. The staff are caring, patient, and attentive even during her early settling-in and recent illness. Every day is packed with creative play, emotional learning, and genuine joy. They celebrate each child’s background and make families feel supported. My daughter always excited to go to nursery! means that she is enjoying and love being with her friends and teachers. Couldn’t ask for better!”
