Developmental play in London

“I cannot express enough how amazing our experience has been at this nursery! It has been a truly wonderful place for my child, who has not only learned so much but has also had an incredible amount of fun. The staff is caring, attentive, and highly professional, creating a warm and welcoming environment that made my child feel safe and happy every day. My little one always came home with a big smile, excited to share stories about the activities and friends at the nursery. It’s clear that the team puts a lot of thought and effort into making the experience enjoyable and enriching for the children. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and joyful place for their child. Thank you for making this such a positive and memorable experience for us!”

“We absolutely loved Nathalie’s sensory classes and always looked forward to our Thursday mornings. The sessions are so thoughtfully designed and perfectly tuned into babies’ development. The quality of the resources and the care that goes into each themed session is truly incredible. Starting when my baby was just 3–4 months old gave me so much confidence as a new mum, and it was so lovely to connect with other mums along the way. Nathalie creates such a warm, welcoming space, we couldn’t recommend these classes enough.”

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

“From the moment you step into Puddleducks New Southgate Nursery, you are greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately puts both children and parents at ease. The vibrant, cheerful environment is thoughtfully designed to stimulate young minds and nurture creativity, making it an ideal setting for early childhood education. One standout feature of Puddleducks is its exceptional staff, particularly Sameerah, whose dedication and passion for her work shine through in everything she does. Sameerah is a beacon of kindness and professionalism, consistently going above and beyond to ensure each child feels valued and supported. Her ability to connect with children on an individual level is truly remarkable, fostering a sense of trust and security that is essential for young learners. For any parent seeking a nurturing and stimulating environment for their little ones, Puddleducks, is the perfect choice.”

“My daughter has been attending this nursery for a year now when she was 11 months old and I always find her cheerful there - it feels like a second home to her. I would like to say this is one of the best childcare centres in this area. I was very skeptical initially as a mum to leave my daughter the whole day (10hours). All the staff members Veerpal, Dale, Shazia, Tahira, etc including the head teacher Himanshu are so nurturing, supportive, caring, attentive, kind and helpful to her as well as the other babies. I have always found the key worker Veerpal to be very communicative about my daughter's progress (including the online updates about her progress) and the way she allowed my daughter to take her time to settle in. Whenever I needed any kind of adjustments the whole staff including admin team was always supportive and efficient. The staff do invest a lot of time, effort and patience to allow babies to explore and be independent. I was surprised when I saw my daughter wanting to drink water/milk in a cup on her own without spilling, Building sand castles, messy plays, spending a good amount of time daily in the garden, allowing babies to make individual decisions, making shapes out of play dough, exploring natural materials and nature, singing various rhymes and describing the characters from the story, etc They do have a lot of extra activities for kids accompanied by parents. A yearly outdoor (farm) trip for the kids and parents. Visits to religious places accompanied by parents, obstacle course, etc I have seen a lot of improvements and her skills being enhanced each time. I would highly recommend the Grove house infant centre to anyone looking for a childcare / nursery in the area.”

“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.”

“This nursery is the best by far. My little girl has been attending Little Elms, Shirley for almost 5 months and she has such a great time. The staff are very caring and affectionate towards my little girl needs!”

“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”

“My son is neurodivergent and has anxiety. The staff at holiday club were really good at reassuring him and helping him have a good time, thank you.”

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

“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!”

“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.”

“6 years ago, we started to look for nurseries for our first born near where we lived (quite far from Adventures) and really didn't get that same impression as when we stepped foot in Adventures Day Nursery for our first visit. Throughout the past 6 years, we've been fortunate enough to have the dedicated team look after both our sons and the love & affection shown is above anything we've seen at any nursery. I’ve found it’s been worth those long drop offs in the morning and those times I'd need to have my laptop with me to start work. It's clear Kim has taken her love of this work and spent time hiring staff who share that same passion to create this unique environment. This become particularly important when our 2nd child was diagnosed with a range of allergies, and it meant we were even more cautious around nursery care. However, the Adventures Team were able to accommodate and have made him feel very included in all activities. Sadly we're now coming to end of this journey, we can't help but recommend Kim & the wider team.”

“Our son, who is 2yrs old now, has been at Beaumont House full time since he was 11 Months old. We have a very good communication with the staff, everybody is very caring, flexible and attentive to him. He is very happy going to the nursery, that's the principal for us. He loves doing messy play, singing, playing in the garden and participating to lots of the experiences that it is proposed!”

“My daughter has been at Creative Explorers since she was 9 months old and is now 2. She loves it! The staff are welcoming and informative. Letting us know everything that's been going on when we collect her. I can't recommend this nursery enough.”

“I could not recommend Tinkys nursery more! My daughter has been attending since age 1 and almost 3 now . From social development to academic development, my daughter has made excellent progress in her learning and social skills . Their attention to detail is next to none and they really do keep track of all activities/events each day to report to you on email and collection of your child. The freshly made nutritious meals are just another bonus. The staff are warm, friendly and approachable and my daughter is happy to see them when I drop her off and I know that she’s had a good day when I collect her as she chats about what she’s been up to. She has thrived since starting Tinkys and made special bonds with her peers and care givers . I feel confident leaving her with the lovely team knowing that she’ll have a great day and will be well cared for and treated as an individual.”

“Great community hub for children and families.”

“Love the workshops and stay and play”

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

“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 place to visit with your children.”

“Even though travelling here by car can be a nightmare during peak hours, the center itself is in a good location with a playground and greenery all around it. The staff were polite, friendly and very helpful with our appointment there.”

“My son has been going to this nursery for a few months now, I was very scared and worried before he started as he'd always been with me only for 14 months but they made him feel like at home, he's been happy and cheerful everyday he went in, he's having fun and everyone has such a care with him and his needs. They are very patient with my requests and they are very thoughtful in sending me pictures and updating me, when I leave him crying they reassure me with pictures that he's well and having a good day. They update the app regularly so I can easily track how much he eats and sleep as well as giving me a thorough handover at pick up. They also make regular observations and reports tracking his development, as much as he was ready to walk, it took him going into nursery and seeing the other kids to give him the courage to take his first steps. Every single person has been fantastic and I'm very happy and grateful for everyone taking care of my little boy but I want to give a special thanks to his room leader Jade for the care she puts into taking care of him and the other children as well.”

“We have nearly four years experience with Archway Children's Centre (our one year old is in the Baby room and our four year old - at the nursery since she was 10 months old - is now in the Pre-School room). We only have positive things to say and frequently thank our lucky stars such high quality childcare was available to us. The facilities are fantastic but more importantly, the management and staff are amazing. Warm and respectful of each other and the children, but also extremely professional. They combine care, attention and affection for the children with remarkably creative ideas for educating and entertaining them. Our children love it and we feel they are in the best hands.”

“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.”

“My daughter has been at The Pickford since she was 9 months old and I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough! All of the staff have been fantastic and my daughter loves going to nursery. They’ve helped my husband and I as first time parents to understand the different milestones, set realistic goals and handle dealing with tantrums! The nursery has such a wonderful family feel to it and has helped my daughter gain skills, confidence and make fantastic friends (with the other children and staff!). A great, welcoming environment and I am so happy and comfortable sending my child in everyday. We could not recommend enough!!”

“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.”

“I couldn't imagine a better place for my son and I am so grateful to Joanna and her team of wonderful, kind carers. My son joined Rainbow House at 11 months old at a time when he only wanted to be with his mum and dad. We did a gradual settling in and thanks to JoJos's patience and through various engaging activities and a lot of one to one time they built trust and a great relationship with him. My son loves going to Rainbow House and talks about Jojo and his friends constantly! They do perform miracles - he eats his lunch even on days when he eats nothing at home. At nap time he goes to sleep on his own (since his first full day) even though he has never done this at home once! After two months his vocabulary exploded with words and phrases. They are constantly doing fun activities- playing in the garden, messy play, arts and crafts - each week has a different theme. I would highly recommend Rainbow House, they have exceeded all my expectations. It's a truly magical, happy place!”
