Creativity stimulation in London

“Both my son and daughter attend/ed HDN from 12 months old. I have been nothing but delighted with the care they’ve received. It is meticulously clean (considerably more so than any other nursery I visited) and food is cooked on site which I found really attractive. My kids settled within the first two days, have always bounded in every morning and left with a smile on their face despite the long days. The staff are really affectionate and gentle with them, and they have developed so much since starting. A special shout out to Emily and Andreea from the baby room who my son seems to love as much as his own parents! When we first joined there wasn’t a great deal of parental involvement - today, they make a huge amount of effort to involve parents with themed days where parents can go in and read stories, do activities etc. they also make an amazing end of year book filled with all the crafts from the previous terms and it’s amazing to sift through and have as a keepsake. Chris (owner) is really receptive to feedback and I loved his approach from day one. He’s focused on children’s learning, while ensuring it’s a fun environment for all. HDN is one of those “less known about” nurseries but I want to take this opportunity to shout from the rooftop how much we love it. I truly do recommend it to any parent in the area and can’t thank the staff enough for making my transition back to work so seamless. Leilah”

“We were incredibly lucky that our son attended Chairbears from the age of 10 months all the way to 3 and a bit. It has been an amazing experience and we're so sad to change nursery as we have now relocated. Best team ever and we are extremely grateful for all the love and support. Diane”

“My child has been attending Willow Nursery for over a year now and I have nothing but praise for this establishment. Thanks to the dedicated Baby Room manager and the staff who all work tirelessly to take care of all the children, my son has developed so much. My child was referred to external NHS departments such as Speech and Language, the Childhood Development Centre and Audiology when it was felt that he may need more support and that was as a result of the close work the Baby Room manager and SENCO manager had done with him. The nursery has fantastic resources and equipment such as a sensory room, SEN trained staff, a large playground, toys and books. Honestly, I visited a number of nurseries in the local area and none of them compared. The nursery is diverse as both the children and staff are of different cultures and raves and this is regularly celebrated. Overall, I can say I am extremely happy with Willow Nursery they take very good care of the children, keep parents and families involved and informed in everything they do and there is a real community feel about it. Well done Willow Nursery!!!”

“Excellent toy shop, fairly small but really have chose a good range of toys to choose from with all different age ranges and different types of toys, board games, outdoor games etc and all at reasonable prices. Also staff are friendly and very helpful. I live locally but would come out of my way if I had to to shop her for my children. Would definitely recommend”

“Ali was really great. Friendly and considerate and the team there are very caring. Helped me feel relaxed and comfortable. I'd recommend them 100%”

“Came to Barrista cafe to work and it was my first time. The coffee and food were amazing and the service was great. I'll definitely come back.”

“I previously got my haircuts from uxbridge road where kwality foods is. All the barber shops on that road don't even compare to this one. Owner is very nice and his haircuts are top notch. He has the experience and is the only barber I deem qualified to cut hair. 10/10. Update: It's been 6 years since I gave this review. However I would like to amend and tell everyone not to get your haircut by the guy with the pot belly. He will man handle your head and squeeze the fluid out of your spine. I got severe neck pain now. The main fella is good only get a cut by him. This is what I get for cheating on my barber......”

“We had our twin boys 3rd Birthday party here at the weekend and the staff were amazing and so accommodating. They did all the setting up, served the food, tidied the toys and cleared away for us which made it much more relaxing to host. Would definitely use here again to host a party. Thank you so much.”

“I had a wonderful experience with my midwife Maria today. She was so attentive, really listened to me, and made me feel heard and supported. Her kindness and caring approach put me at ease right away. I’m so grateful for her help and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and professional midwife.”

“Very good staff . I was getting late, called to inform them. I was looked at very well even though I wad badly late. Thanks so much sherington children centre.”

“The nursery is absolutely fantastic at looking after my child! The staff especially are super friendly and they are also caring towards my child and are really good at helping him grow and develop as he’s getting older. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nursery for their child in the local area, Angela the manager is a credit to the company !”

“This School is very Good My Daughters love it.One of my Daughter's are having a ancient greek Workshop on Feb 1st”

“My daughter has been attending little cubs for over 6 months and she loves it. She seems very happy and I’m really pleased with how much effort the staff clearly put into activities and keeping the classes entertained! They offer opportunities for parents and grandparents to visit and read books which I have really enjoyed as I get to meet the whole class! They do evening online classes for parents to learn about sleep and food from specialists. My daughter seems to love the food and eats all sorts of things she doesn’t try at home so I’m pleased she is getting that variety. The staff spend a good amount of time with you at the end of the day letting you know all about your child’s day which I really appreciate. Overall just a fantastic experience.”

“I am loving cleveland road primary. From yanuran Plus im a child from this school”

“So my son has been going here for nearly a year now and I can honestly say this is a really good Nursery. The front office staff are incredibly helpful and very polite and welcoming and very understanding. As for my son's class there have been amazing he loves to go there he's learning a lot. They helped us with his toilet training, and he was out of nappies in next to no time. I was expecting it to be very hard and difficult, but we did what they advised, and within a week he was out of nappies. Genuinely, if you're looking for a really good nursery, I would highly recommend you just go there for yourself. Have a look around, speak to them, and I'm sure you'll place your little one there.”

“Intricate masonry work in art nouveau style, the curves are daring and the way they came off the edge looks so masterful. A mixture of motifs, foliage and the faces carved in stone make for a harmonious design”

“I feel fortunate that my kids are attending this centre as they love going to the nursery every day. All the kids there seem friendly, creating a welcoming environment. The staff organises great activities for both the children and parents, and the security measures in place are impressive. I am delighted with the centre's services.”

“A lovely playground, my partner's nephew loved it!”

“I will add photos later as the ones available don't do it justice. There is a really large open space for dog walking, running or sunbathing etc and a track around its edging where a lot of people ride bikes. The children's play area is great. My son loves it. It gad swings, slides and climbing frames for all ages. Definitely worth a visit. It gas a friendly vibe and there is always kids to interact with”

“From the moment we arrived, right up until all of our guests left, we were made to feel welcome. Megan in particular was so helpful, and assisted us in setting things up before our guests arrived with their children as well as activities and clearing down. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen my toddler have so much fun with all of his nursery friends in a safe and friendly play space. Every toddler in that room was incredibly happy!! Would highly recommend.”

“Such a brilliant centre, thanks to committed, caring and professional staff, and some wonderful facilities and equipment for babies and children. Thank you Karen, Julie and all who work here.”

“Boys playing football and jockey on a saturday plus great viewing and refreshment area for adults and parents”

“Lovely school, my child settled in straight away and loves attending. She's always talking about what she's learnt. Breakfast club and after school club are great too.”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care and attention our daughter received at 9 months nursery. The staff are incredibly warm, nurturing, and truly dedicated to creating a safe and engaging environment for the children. From the wide variety of activities that stimulate both learning and creativity to the genuine love they show for every child, it’s clear that they go above and beyond. Our daughter looked forward to going and we’ve seen her grow in confidence, skills, and social development. 9 months nursery feels like a second home, and we’re so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for her early years.Highly recommended!”

“Good experience, health visitor D explained everything in a way that we understood and will be helpful on implementing going forward. A lot of toys for kids and the staff were helpful.”

“I can’t recommend Bright Horizons enough .They really went above and beyond with your son. The nursery helped a lot with my son's settling in. They went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and safe. He did not speak English, and the team did the best they could to understand him and help him communicate. The space is very nice for learning and playing. My son loved the outdoors area. Also, the staff are amazing. Everyday Abbie and all staff would greet us with a big smile. They are friendly, respectful with all the children, and always willing to help. We now moved out of London one of the teachers gave my son a friends forever matching bracelet, it was so beautiful. The meals are truly amazing and my son loved it. They update the app everyday with what activities they will be doing, learning topics, pictures and thoughtful development progress check-ins. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone .Thank you for all that you did with my little one. Huge call out to Abbie and all her support and Ana Maria and Fatima from Preschool.”

“Both of my daughters attended this nursery and we loved it so much! My youngest has just started school and is so happy and well prepared, which is a testament to the work the nursery have done with her. It’s a beautiful purpose built setting, recently refurbished, with a lovely outdoor space and a mud garden! From the management to the cooks, everyone is so friendly and lovely and my daughters thrived there. We will miss everyone so much, and will come back to visit!”

“Amazing staff and nice classes. They also serve Halal food in the cafeteria”

“hello miss my spelling test sheet is at school can i come and get it now because i have to read an practise today”

“I initially moved my son from his first nursery (Monkey Puzzle in Uxbridge) as he just didnt enjoy going in and due to his speech delay he was unable to communicate his feelings but there were worries that he was being mistreated in that nursery as he would repeat phrases in a shouty manner that we would never use at home (why are you crying I'm here??? Be quiet! Go sit down now!) After deciding to move him to another nursery I attended Busy bees in person and shared my concerns with the assistant manager Sian who was at the main reception that particular day. She reassured me and arranged a tour of the nursery a few days later where myself, my husband and son were able to have a look around and we had a a lovely chat with Lauren in the preschool room about how a typical day in the nursery would be and how they monitor each childs progress again the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. After our visit our son was instantly warmed by the happy playful environment. He surprisingly settled within a week of attending. His speech, interaction and communication has all really come through as well as his attention. He has honestly been thriving here and although I'm sad he will be leaving the nursery to start school in September - I am ever so grateful for the staff especially Tammy for shaping up his academic journey from here ahead.”
