The 30 Best Developmental programs in London

“Best nursery in the area . Highly recommended”

“Love this nursery. I fully trust my child is safe and cared for and learning well in this environment. They go on lots of outings too to parks, libraries, museums, the tate gallery round the corner. Lots of the teachers are doing degrees and other qualifications at the moment which makes me trust the quality.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“I don’t have enough words to express my gratitude to Little Angels and the staff of the baby room. It was the best choice we could have for our little one to start nursery. Cindy, Bharti, Rebekka, Christina and Makia, were all a delight to have as our baby’s caregivers/teachers. They were caring and loving and made our baby love going to nursery. Besides the amazing stuff, the learning & development plan was very well prepared. We could see all the development our baby made thanks to these people and their patience and hard work. I would blindly recommend this nursery, especially as a safe start for your baby and their transition from home with parents to first time in nursery. Thanks for everything!”

“Amazing nursery to say the least. Staff very attentive, caring and really care about the development of the children definitely a home away from home experience for both my children who attended”

“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!”

“My son has been at Bubbly for around 7 months now, and has settled in well. He always has a big smile when going into nursery. Frances is absolutely lovely and really cares about all the children at bubbly. Frances does everything she can to help and support my son. We are very grateful. It really is a fantastic school”

“Our daughter started attending just before her third birthday, and the care she received has been exceptional. The staff are not only kind and caring but also genuinely invested in each child’s development. They provided specific feedback tailored to our daughter, which made us feel that she was truly known and valued. I can’t express how much this nursery feels like a second home for her. The staff’s warmth, care, and attention have made all the difference. They treat her like family, and it shows in her happiness every day. We’re grateful to have found such a nurturing and loving nursery.”

“Both of my children attend this nursery. One started at 10 months old and one at 2 years old. The staff are absolutely amazing with both of them. I can truly say I have so much faith in all of the staff and the nursery itself! I even leave my children there beyond there normal hours and the nursery are happy to work around my work schedule. My children love the nursery and have made so much progress. This nursery has been a god sent to me - really amazing work guys! Thank you Magicwords Nursery!”

“Two of my children have attended this nursery and both absolutely loved their experiences. Both developed strong bonds with the staff and my daughter currently attending just adores them and they have been a brilliant support in her care and development since she was 9 months old. Now that they have moved to a new premises the setting itself cannot be faulted, they have beautiful classrooms and an outside space that the children can run around and play which was the only downside with the old building.”

“Love simply kids for wraparound care and holiday clubs. The team behind this business truly care for your children and go above and beyond. They are a special bunch.”

The activities are fun, educational, and perfectly suited for the needs of children We’ve seen so much growth and confidence in our child since joining. Communication with parents is good too — we always feel informed and reassured. Highly recommended!”

“The best Nursery ever, my child always coming out with huge smile, the girls are very informative especially Maya Sahi ”

“I was very nervous about sending my son to nursery, but from the moment he started at Monkey Puzzle, I’ve seen him thrive in so many ways. The team’s care and attention have truly put my mind at ease. Another thing that reassures me is seeing the owner around frequently. It’s clear she is personally involved in the day-to-day life of the nursery, checking in with the children and staff, and making sure everything runs smoothly. Knowing that she is so present gives me confidence that my son is in a truly caring and well-managed environment. One of the things I love most is the daily photo updates – it’s wonderful to see what he’s been up to throughout the day and the little moments that make me smile. The meals prepared by their on-site chef are not only delicious but also healthy, giving me confidence that he’s getting the best nutrition while at nursery. I also really appreciate how the nursery celebrates and explores different cultures, helping children learn about the world in a fun and inclusive way. It’s clear that every child’s development and happiness is a priority here. Thank you to Monkey Puzzle for taking such care of my heart and helping my son grow in such a happy, nurturing environment.”

“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!”

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.
