Child friendly learning spaces in London

“Great play area suitable for a variety of ages and great accessibility.”

“Has a really nice basketball court with nets, and very easy to find!”

“LOVE LOVE LOVE this kids space! Bright, inviting and stimulating activities to get on with! It’s a wonderful environment always filled with happy faces and the space is perfect for children to ‘network’ & build a number of skills, including social, communication, logical, physical and imagination! Equipped with loos as well as feeding & changing stations, it’s a no brainer! This place is perfect to visit multiple times and let the little ones blow off some steam!! Highly recommend!”

“The team at Playhood have created a workspace that is fresh, comfortable and tackles the issue of disconnect many of us have between work and family life. It's an excellent concept managed with thought and consideration. Bright, spacious rooms to work in and the cosiest little nursery at the bottom of a beautiful garden. Not to mention a delicious lunchtime food offering! Highly recommend!”

“Great show put together by the playing space team and great performances all round.”

“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!”

“What a fantastic holiday club, my kids absolutely loved it, the main thing is the staff are amazing really caring and thoughtful to every child. I asked the manager if I could watch a session and he couldn't have been more inviting, I was blown away with how organised everything was and every child had a smiles on their faces. I had no problem leaving all my 3 kids I have been to quite a few holiday clubs and this one is easily the best in the area. I strongly recommend funny feet if you need somewhere for the children, they will not only have a wonderful time with all the activities but also be in safe hand with the Incredible team behind Funny Feet.”

“My Daughter has been going to stagecoach for many years now and really looks forward to her classes every Saturday. I’ve seen her confidence grow and stagecoach is definitely the one to thank for that. The experiences offered to the kids are brilliant, from doing shows at local fairs, workshops, and even big theatre productions. Felicity and the team are so passionate and professional, I would definitely recommend for any child who is interested in all things singing, dancing and acting!”

“A perfect venue for organising a kids party: very clean and cozy, with lots of toys, balloons, well-organised and convenient, with very helpful Sandra. :) We celebrated 1 year birthday of our 7 NCT group kids and it went very well, everyone enjoyed it a lot!”

“Friendly, great education, fantastic food, lovely rooms. Our daughter loves it and we feel confident dropping her everyday. Thank you to everyone”

“Brilliant idea, fantastic service with helpful volunteers. Love coming here!”

“Great place to bring your little ones for activities and health clinics. Friendly staff, varied schedule.”

“We absolutely love the Little Gym in Wandsworth! The instructors are amazing—not only do they focus on teaching movement skills, but they also give individual care and attention to both my 2-year-old and 5-year-old boys. It’s such a joy to see how much they enjoy practicing and gaining self-confidence here, and they look forward to coming every weekend! The teachers and staff are all so friendly, professional, and welcoming. It’s a fantastic environment for kids to have fun.”

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

“Really lovely soft play at the back of Costa coffee. It is the perfect size for babies, toddlers and small children. It has so many lovely toys to play with, things to climb and different activities in the walls. It’s kept very clean and tidy and the lady who works there is so so lovely. She has such a friendly and gentle vibe to her and she talks to the parents and the children and helps them to play. There’s tables to sit at and high chairs as well as colouring for kids to do. There’s age appropriate snacks to buy and water available. There’s a baby changing facility as well. We were given a banana for free on our way out the first time we went which was so sweet and loved by my little girl. I’ll be going back many many times!”

“My toddler enjoyed his first formal sport lesson at the centre. Beautiful provision and lovely staff.”

“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.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars It was my first time visiting Softplay with my 15-month-old, and I was pleasantly surprised! The area was spacious, clean, and not overcrowded at all. I loved that they had separate sections for different age groups — including a special area just for little ones up to 18 months. Everything was well supervised. One of the staff members was especially attentive, always making sure the older kids didn’t wander into the baby area and that everyone followed the rules. It made the experience feel very safe and respectful for everyone. The whole place was spotless, the vibe was great, and even the food was good! I also really appreciated that we didn’t need to pre-book — we just walked in, and for the whole family, it was only £11.50 for a two-hour slot, which is amazing value. Overall, it was a wonderful experience — clean, well-organized, and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!”

“We absolutely love this venue at Sevenoaks. Perfect for meet-ups. We have playdates here with our children and their friends/family on many occasions, aswell as having my sons exclusive party hire here 2 years running. Stress- free. He is crazy about this play centre, and he always loves the adventure. They also give a free pass valid for 6months if you hold ur party here. Its clean, very well run and inviting. Great parking too! There's a cute cafe and snacks for adults and little ones. The staff are brilliant, attentive, extremely helpful and caring. Its such a great venue to inspire amazing learning through play. We highly recommend Little street.”

“Very special ,beautiful place, such an antidote to the busy road nearby.”

“Don't get to go here very often, but when we do we LOVE it. Mandy is so lovely and helpful”

“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!”

“My son has just finished his first year, I was super nervous about leaving him for the first time but I knew every time I left he was being well cared for. I viewed 10 other play schools/nurseries and none of them compared to the warm feeling at St Andrews. My son tells me about the different things they explore each term and how much fun he has had, especially in the giant sand pit. All the staff are amazing and you can tell they love all the children, my son especially loves his key worker Zoe and constantly talks about her! We look forward to returning in the new year!”

“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...”

“Great place for babies and toddlers to have free fun while learning and being engaged. They are different activities on difference days. The staff are friendly too.”

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

“Great place to visit with your children.”

“The most wonderful nursery! Our little boy has developed and learnt so much there. He absolutely loves going to nursery. They love and care for the children so well. He blows them kisses goodbye at pick up. I completely trust them and appreciate all their hard work. I could go on and on. The main thing I’ll say is that I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Kindred. Very professional, warm and friendly, excellent care. You won’t regret sending your children to them. We love it there and think all the staff are fantastic. Thank you!”

“Our son has been attending 1st Place at Chumleigh Gardens since he was 10 months old and we couldn’t be happier with the care he has received over the past three years. The staff are fantastic—kind, nurturing, and dedicated. He has built strong relationships with his carers, many of whom have been there throughout his time at the nursery, providing a wonderful sense of continuity. One of the things we love most is the emphasis on outdoor play and exploration. He thrives on being outside every day and especially enjoys the trips to forest school. The nursery also fosters a great sense of community, and he has made lots of friends along the way. The focus on child development is excellent, ensuring he is well-prepared for the next stage of learning. We are incredibly grateful for the care and support he has received and would highly recommend the nursery to other parents.”
