Creative learning experiences in London

“Both my son (for 4.5yrs) and daughter (for 2yrs) attended this excellent nursery. The standard of care and teaching is very high. My children used to literally run in to the nursery in the morning which is a strong reflection on the positive and loving environment that has been created. The food is cooked on site and is a varied healthy menu. It really helps because my children at school now eat everything and love fruit/veg. The Management is very friendly and approachable. The Manager (Nirupa) is absolutely lovely and is assisted by her efficient son which creates a warm family environment. Any issues are addressed very promptly with good feedback to the parents. The communication and relationship with the parents is excellent. I thoroughly recommend and positively endorse this nursery.”

“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.”

“Our son joined the circus and trapeze classes this year and loves it. Tiggy and the team create a friendly, safe, fun atmosphere for the kids and it's amazing how quickly they learn.”

“I have had multiple treatments performed by Rowena and I have been so pleased with the results every time! On my most recent visit I had a small amount of lip filler as I wanted a change but was very anxious about overdoing it. Rowena listened to exactly what I wanted and made me feel very comfortable. I love how it turned out - subtle but amazing!”

“I absolutely loved making my trinity pendant and I am very proud to wear it. Ela is a great teacher and the morning was really enjoyable. I can’t wait to do another workshop and learn more about making jewellery.”

“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!”

“Ritchie was amazing for our daughter’s 5th birthday party. He kept us thoroughly entertained both the children and adults. He really knows how to interact with the kids and was really easy to deal with regarding the booking process and meeting Ritchie on the day. I would definitely recommend and would use Ritchie again. Thanks so very much It was great to meet you too.”

“I’ve had conversations on the phone and in person with a number of different staff since my daughter has started full time in Nov 2024. I have been really impressed with them all and the quality of communication I’ve received. It’s always so hard leaving your baby with strangers and I speak from experience of 3 different well-established nurseries (2 of which were rated Outstanding by Ofsted) that my elder child had been at. The experience so far with Boys & Girls Croxley has been really good. The updates via the Blossom app are prompt throughout the day helping me keep up with my daughter’s experience and reassuring me about her wellbeing. The photos and well thought-out daily activities cover a real breadth of topics and developmental opportunities and I’m seeing the positive changes in her as a result. When she has been unfortunate enough to have little accidents or difficulty falling asleep or being upset, the staff have kept me informed and personalised their response to her by calling and making me aware of all the things they have tried and asking if there is anything else they might be able to do to help her feel more comfortable. She has settled in really well and I would highly recommend this nursery to Others based on my experience so far.”

“Rise is an amazing nursery.We would sincerely like to thank all the staff at rise who helped our daughter progress through each stage at the nursery.The atmosphere is wonderful and the staff and teachers are very caring.Our daughter has left the nursery more confident and this has helped her integrate smoothly in reception when she started school this September. The food is excellent.My daughter had a wonderful time and created lovely memories and friends.A big thank you once again -would highly recommend RISE to one and all.”

“We’re very happy with the nursery The staff are kind, caring, and professional, and we’ve seen great improvement in his behavior, communication, and confidence. The place is always safe, and they have fun, educational activities. Thank you for everything!”

“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!”

“My daughter is just leaving this place to a full time placement. I can’t thank you enough for the year and a half my daughter has been here. Nayyar her key worker was the best, always giving us a snippet of her day but how happy she is to go there and the stories I hear from her afterwards is satisfaction enough. Thank you to everyone who is a part of this place will defo recommend and if my wife lets us have another child will defo see you again!”

“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.”

“Wonderful nursery and amazing team here that has been looking after my child incredibly well for the last two years. They have been all very knowledgeable, caring and very supportive during every stages of my child's development. They plan lots of activities with and for children, encouraging participation from parents as well. Very quickly, the staff built the trust that I was very confident that kids grow and develop in a safe and comfortable environment in this nursery. The surroundings are beautiful as well. In addition to well-designed outdoor play area, the Chorleywood Estate gives unbelievable access to different animals, long walks, free play area in the nature. Lots of places to park your car too, which sometimes becomes an important thing to consider during busy drop off and pick up times. Overall, lovely community feel - highly recommend!”

“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!”

“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!”

“The Paddington Bear Experience was a truly special day out for both adults and children. The live actors were brilliant and engaging. The set and scenery was incredible - lots of attention to detail! Booking was made easy by the lovely staff. Overall, it was a memorable day out and special treat at Christmas time.”

“Our son has attended this school for several years. It has helped him to develop as a performer and as a young man. The staff are superb and the family environment found here nurtures creativity and builds confidence in a safe space. We cannot thank them enough for all they have done for our son.”

“So grateful to have this nursery in our neighbourhood! The owners/directors Caterina and Judit are a strong and reliable team who have the children's interests truly at heart and a very respectful way of working with them. All three of my children will have been under the care of C&J and their team and I couldn't be happier. The nursery building itself is a great space with many different areas including the art room, quiet room for stories, the stage, the garden, baby room, food and kitchen area and of course the main hall with all the Montessori resources. You can actually go inside for pick up and drop off which makes a difference when it's raining :) There is also spanish and drama sessions by external providers who do a brilliant job.”

“We had visited quite a few nurseries for my 18-month old and and were thrilled to find Crafty Wizards preschool which unusually for a preschool takes from 18-months. We love the format that all ages are mixed together promoting peer learning and the setting is intimate and personal. The staff are wonderful and really care about the kids. There are two gardens, one of which is a bit like a small forest school with a mud kitchen, which our little one loves. Since day 1 he’s been so happy to be there with zero separation anxiety. Highly recommend to other parents who want something different to the usual nursery format.”

“My son has really excelled at this nursery. He enjoys going in everyday and is always excited. The nursery staff are all wonderful, always welcoming and have created a lovely, safe and creative environment which nurtures the children and brings out the best in them. Would definitely recommend this nursery and will be sending my other children there also.”

“My 4 year old daughter attends Ballet at Starmakerz every week and she absolutely adores it. Every morning she asks “is it ballet today?” it is without doubt the highlight of her week. She was nervous to start with but Lisa and the team were amazing at encouraging her to give it a try and even offered us a second free trial, after which I could barely drag her away at the end! Really can’t recommend highly enough, even for the shy children it’s a brilliant confidence boost.”
