Creative learning spaces in London

“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.”

“Fabulous production of 'I want my hat back'. My 3 year old was engaged and entertained the entire 45 min (and us). The actors did a great job and the venue itself is well thought out with play areas etc. We will be back.”

“Aysel and the team organised my daughter's 6th birthday party. Extremely professional, patient, organised and thorough. The team showed up promptly for venue set up and 2 onside managers made sure the party ran like a military operation. I will certainly be using them again and highly recommend the same of you!”

“A fun, interactive space to climb, run, jump and explore everything that a plant needs to grow. Based in a natural setting the size of 40 tennis courts, children can explore all the things plants need to grow in our Children's Garden, designed for children from 2 to 12 years old. Over 100 mature trees are spread over this beautiful landscape, with hidden treasures and adventures around every corner, leading to a 4m high canopy walk wrapped around a 200-year-old oak in the heart of the Children's Garden. No pre-booking required – all visitors are welcome to come and go throughout the day until one hour before the Gardens close.”

“I attended as an active participiant in a session of "If Poets Ruled the World"”

“Attended a party here. Nicely placed for children’s party. A bit hard to find entrance to location.”

“Great venue. With amazing productions. The car parking is quite limited so get there early.”

“They are so good staff and clean place for kids”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Excellent school with caring teachers and a very friendly executive headteacher who is on the front gates greeting kids some mornings”

“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.”

“My Daughter absolutely loves coming to Dawson’s! All of the teachers are so lovely, especially Miss Elin who is approachable & has genuine care & pride for her students. We are now part of the Baby Team & cannot wait to represent the school in competitions! Would highly recommend DSPA!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”

“Very nice hall for upto 35 to 40 people. A kids birthday party was held. Nice car park to park around 10 cars. Kitchen and also small outdoor space available.”

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

“Great venue full of community activities.”

“Wonderful community resource with rooms to hire. Café and cookery school kitchen, social spaces and pool table. Really impressive.”

“Great atmosphere I would rate this place a solid 10 cuz it's a geat place to go to very welcoming I've been going to the adventure for 8years now and I'm 13and I've loved everything scineivebeen here it's the best”

“My boys have been coming to Little Street since they were 18 months . They have always loved it . It's a great place to nurture the imagination and the staff is always very nice and friendly. It's also very clean and tidy. My kids are 5 now and they are still enjoying very much playing at Little Street . It's a very safe place where parents can relax while the children are playing.”

“Absolutely love this nursery, all the teachers are so kind and understanding ❤️ Ms Anne, Ms Dawn and Ms Aileen, thank you for being so wonderful to my 2 year old! He enjoys being there.”

“Thank you team forge, we have had a great stay of 3 years and have been happy with all the services. Special thanks to Florian who has been so kind and thoughtful. Even our son will miss him. Special mention for John who has always been warm and welcoming.”

“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 daughter loves going to this nursery. They always welcome her with the biggest smile and make her feel special every time. My daughter has learnt so much since being there for the last year or so. She has become more confident and her breath of vocabulary has most definitely widened because of their teaching. When she comes home she is always repeating songs they sing during circle time. I would highly recommend this nursery as not only do they support the child to progress but also give really good advice to parents regarding potty training etc. Whenever I pick my daughter up I love how nicely the children play together and enjoys playing with her friends.”

““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!””

“Great place to spend a nice relaxing evening with friends or family at. I absolutely loved my time there in the atmosphere was outstanding too. I would definitely come here again. Especially that it is minutes away from Greenwich market and Greenwich boat pier - amazing location.”

“Lovely staff and classes for babies. Good meet and greet if you want to meet new mothers. Coffee and biscuits free.”

“It's a work in progress and even though I feel like it should have more games for children of different ages, I love this park. It's the best one in Harrow. We can't wait for the entire park to be finished so we can properly enter the play area and not go on the grass.”

“The one oclock club is like the dream backgarden but of your best friends house so you don’t have to tidy up! Your children can run wild with no shoes, get wonderfully wet and grubby and generally have a bit of a 90s childhood experience. There a thousand different toys to play and experiment. I’ve got a 4 year old and a 1 year old and it suits them both perfectly. They can explore the space independently and it’s the perfect size for me to keep an eye on them without hovering over them. We love it!”
