Creative play activities in London

“I was able to spend an hour in the nursery this morning starting the settling in process for our second child at WPD, with our eldest about to move off into Reception at a local primary school. We feel very lucky to have found such a welcoming, safe and caring environment for our children. The staff are all gems and seem to love having fun with the children; our daughter will miss them all very much!”

“Paula and the team were absolutely amazing with our new boy! He is very anxious as recently rehomed with us and was very scruffy and matted after being in kennels. After his groom looked like a different dog! And he was very bouncy and happy so they'd clearly made him feel at ease, and even managed to get all the problem areas! Completely amazing! Definitely our go to for all grooming needs! Very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable as well.”

“We celebrated our daughter's 4th birthday with a small soft play, and it was absolutely perfect! The venue, the private space, and the service were all fantastic! Everyone had a great time, and the team provided amazing service! Thank you ”

The playground is well-designed and safe, making it a great spot for children to have fun, while the football area is perfect for sports enthusiasts looking to play a match or practice. One of the highlights is the lovely coffee shop, which provides a cozy and welcoming atmosphere for visitors of all ages to relax and enjoy a great selection of drinks and snacks. What truly sets this park apart is the beautiful, expansive walking paths that allow you to explore nature at its finest. Whether you prefer a peaceful stroll or a longer walk, the scenery is breathtaking, with lush greenery and fresh air that makes every visit a refreshing experience. Overall, this park is a wonderful place to spend time, stay active, and enjoy nature. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a perfect balance of relaxation and recreation!”

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

“Absolutely wonderful place for my baby, staff are so welcoming and approachable, resources are great too! My favourite in Hillingdon!!”

“This is an outstanding place. You really feel like watching movies at home.”

“My 4 year old have acquired vital skills, including social interaction and foundational literacy and numeracy, from an early age. I wholeheartedly endorse this nursery for parents looking for a reliable and enriching early educational experience for their kids.”

“We came across chickywicks by pure chance but immediately fell in love with its homley,loving, caring environment and staff. After our daughter not settling at her previous nursery it was a huge nerve racking step to try again with chickywicks. Our daughter settled immediately we could not believe how happy she went in after how stressful things had been previously. Not only did the chickywicks team make Ada feel completely secure and happy but they also made a very anxious mum feel exactly the same. Every member of staff go above and beyond to make sure any concern or worry was just immediately forgotten. I truly believe that every single one of the team feel passionately about meeting every child's individual needs. Every member of the team are always so friendly and welcoming they not only cared for Ada but they all knew her personality inside out, they always knew at drop off if Ada was having a wobble and made sure they were extra supportive which is exactly what Ada needed. Chickywicks really are just like one big family and although they gave Ada everything she needs to move on, as her parents we would have kept Ada at chickywicks forever! We were not ready for Adas chickywicks journey to end. So from the very bottom of our hearts thank you to all the team at Chickywicks. We will NEVER forget all you have done for Ada and you will always hold a very special place in our hearts. We cant actually put into words how much we would recommend this nursery.”

“What an amazing nursery. The staff are genuinely caring and kind, and their positivity is refreshing. From the first day they made our one and a half year old daughter feel comfortable and valued, and we are so grateful for the experience she’s had here. Every day our daughter comes home in a joyful mood and it’s clear that the nursery has had a positive impact on her development. We’ve noticed her confidence growing, along with new skills she’s picked up along the way. We didn’t know what to expect with the nursery experience as first time parents but, this nursery has far exceeded anything we could have hoped for. If it were possible, we would choose this staff to support and care for both of our daughters throughout their nursery experience. We highly recommend it to any family looking for an engaging and supportive environment for their child.”

“Our little child started nursery when he was 11months old and had a quite complex heart condition. The compassion and determination from the Boys and Girls Nursery Stanmore to cater for his complexities and ensure they could take our son on was brilliant. Even before he started they went over and beyond to speak to all of the healthcare professionals to ensure that they could fully cater for our sons needs. From Amy and Chloe and Sharon for all the admin things to get him over the line. From Rachel and team in nursery where they got him turning over (even though he was months delayed) to then crawling and walking. To then Lisa/ Amelia and team in pre-toddlers post his operations helping him build the strength to do all of the activities and become a chatter box. To then Sinead and team in toddlers to then prep him to join his new school. We cannot thank you all enough for your efforts, we as a family are truly grateful and happy that Boys and Girls Nursery was his first academic home.”

“This has been a brilliant nursery setting for our daughter who has attended since September. She has developed in so many ways since moving here. They do a great variety of activities with the children every day and personal development and challenges which she loves to help develop skills and confidence. I feel confident that on leaving here Emily will be perfectly ready for school with very fond memories of her time here and her teachers.”

“Great nursery. Facilitates are great, especially the big garden which has a climbing frame, fish pond, sandpit, guinea pigs. They even had incubated chicks earlier in the year. The staff are great and have been working there for years which is always a good sign. My daughter loves it.”

“A truly wonderful nursery. The environment is safe, clean, and full of enriching activities. The team keeps me updated regularly and genuinely care about the children. We’re so happy we chose Munchkinz! Munchkinz has been like a second home for my little one. The progress I’ve seen in their confidence, speech, and social skills is incredible. Thank you to all the lovely staff for your dedication!”

“My daughter has been in the Lodge since Jan and we couldn’t be happier. She has flourished in so many areas of development, especially her social skills being surrounded by caring nursery staff as well as other kids. We get great updates with so many photos which gives us so much comfort that my little one is enjoying her day. The environment is very homely with the staff knowing all the children and the owner, Natasha, making the effort to get to know the parents as well.. my daughter especially loves her key worker, Georgeta, who has helped her settle into nursery so well and kept us updated of all her key milestones at nursery”

“Our daughter has been full time at Bumble Bees for 18 months and it is a truly wonderful nursery. She is surrounded by love and care and she has deep bonds with several of the staff. Since starting the pre-school group in September her development has been really noticeable. The activities are varied and interesting and our daughter relishes the learning. We feel very lucky to have found Bumble Bees and are grateful for the fabulous, professional and extremely kind staff. I wholeheartedly recommend the nursery to others.”

“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!”

“Our daughter has been going to Minis since she was 1 year old and she really loves it there! It is amazing to see how many things she has learnt the past 2.5 years and how the team in every room (but especially in Toddlers and Tots) have helped her to build up her confidence!! All the staff here are very helpful, supportive and paying close attention to children's needs. I also like the fact that every day they are doing plenty of indoor and outdoor activities - 2 walks weather permitted - and kids seem to really enjoy it there!! We highly recommend Millenium Minis!!”

“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.”

“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 can’t thank you enough! My little son had his 4th birthday with Bertie and Boo yesterday and it was just wonderful! So stress free, the staff is very attentive and takes care of everything! Children loved all the activities and the magic show was a great hit! All the staff is clearly enjoying their job, they were wonderful with the kids. Birthday Boy felt very special. We will probably come back next year for another one as it just can’t get better!”

“We had my daughters 1st birthday party here a few weeks ago and everything was organised for us, from the decor, to the food, the invitations and the party bags. All we had to do was provide a cake. The food for the kids were a bit basic and there wasn't much choice but this was not a huge problem. The staff were friendly and welcoming, they had communicated everything with me before hand via email (very responsive) so we pretty much knew what to expect. Everything was organised well on the day and they fulfilled any requests I had. Nothing was too much trouble. I liked the fact they have a no shoes policy so the place was really clean, perfect for kids to crawl around. The venue is great for kids and pretty well thought out. All the kids that attended had a great time. I would definitely return for some stay and play sessions and have already booked for the santas grotto.”

“Attending baby sensory with my second child as well now and there really is no place like it! So many of my non mum or mum to be friends question is it really worth it seems expensive can’t you just do that yourself etc but I promise it’s worth every single penny so much fun for the babies and parents. The equipment is fantastic and the ideas/set ups each week are brilliant! I recommend to everyone ALWAYS!”

“Great local theatre. Intimate, and totally engaging. Very good production of play "Electric Rosary." Great direction. Intelligent set. Good acting. Sustained attention throughout. Good drama to explore issues of faith, AI and the future. Good well priced bar. Friendly people. Affordable prices. Eady parking. What's not to like. Well done all.”

“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.”
