Early education programs in London

“So grateful to have this nursery in our neighbourhood! The owners/directors Caterina and Judit are a strong and reliable team who have the children's interests truly at heart and a very respectful way of working with them. All three of my children will have been under the care of C&J and their team and I couldn't be happier. The nursery building itself is a great space with many different areas including the art room, quiet room for stories, the stage, the garden, baby room, food and kitchen area and of course the main hall with all the Montessori resources. You can actually go inside for pick up and drop off which makes a difference when it's raining :) There is also spanish and drama sessions by external providers who do a brilliant job.”

“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”

“I think the pre school is absolutely amazing! My son has loved attending from day 1, he is always sad to leave, my sons speech progression since attending is absolutely amazing and the staff are so lovely and care for your child the way we would want them to be cared for! Honestly fantastic!”

“Blossoms Years is a very special place we are lucky to be part of. I honestly can’t recommend them enough. The staff are so friendly, welcoming and approachable and partner so well with the parents. The forest school facilities at Blossoms are outstanding and most importantly are used for a large part of the day whatever the weather. They also provide many other extracurricular activities including music and PE lessons which varies the children’s exposure and learning. I can not thank the staff enough for all that they do for the children. They go above and beyond in so many ways and you can tell they love their job and the children and only ever want the best. I can’t thank Blossoms enough for installing a sense of fun, learning and starting my two children’s education in such a positive way. Instilling these foundations is a credit to the staff and one I am truly thankful for.”

“My son has really excelled at this nursery. He enjoys going in everyday and is always excited. The nursery staff are all wonderful, always welcoming and have created a lovely, safe and creative environment which nurtures the children and brings out the best in them. Would definitely recommend this nursery and will be sending my other children there also.”

“Amazing staff, lovely setting. Our daughter absolutely loved her time here at Faces. Highly recommend this Preschool. Aleya's mummy and Daddy.”

“My sons have attended their summer camp & football clubs for years & they’ve absolutely loved them. The weekly school football club is what my son looks forward to most each week. The coaches are all fantastic & really motivate the children, & they even attend our school summer fairs to support us, by having a Beat the Goalie stall which all the kids love playing. Non Stop Action is a kind & supportive business, which I hope will be around for many years to come.”

“Learnt about this nursery by chance in the internet, and I couldn't feel happier of having done so. Despite that my daughter's mother tongue wasn't English, it was admirable to see how well she adapted, since the very first day! All thanks to the excellent team of professionals at Bees Knees, they've supported us whenever we've needed them. I absolutely recommend this nursery.”

“Our two sons are currently attending Playdays, in the baby room and in the preschool room. We are extremely happy with the nursery. The staff is very kind and caring and most of them have been around for many years which is great as a lot of nurseries nearby have a high staff turnover. The nursery is very well managed by Miss Kerry and everything runs smoothly. The children have the opportunity to do lots of activities (baby yoga, dance, french, swimming...) as well as regular trips to the park. We would 100% recommend this nursery to parents.”

“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!”

“Flying tots is amazing, Sharon and her team are the ideal people one can ask to work with open communication, support with getting the right documents like the DBS, certificates and trainings to nurture holistic chaperones. Loved the help I received with my DBS processing and Most of all, I loved the souvenirs we received, they really inspire you that you are indeed a flying chaperone who will go places.”

“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.”

“My sons have attend the nursery one is shy and the other very lively and not so shy! The nursery has been really good in teaching and using creativity. My son is always bring home drawings and creations and loves seeing them at home. He really loved a counting book that nursery made that he brought home. Really helped with his counting. Staff are friendly and responsive to parents questions.”

“My daughter attends the nursery and could not be happier. The staff are incredible and obviously really care about the children - my daughter has built fantastic bonds with not only her key workers but all of the staff. Every day we are given detailed hand overs about her adventures at nursery and the different ways they are focusing on her development. We have watched her flourish since she started attending and it was been wonderful to see. I cannot recommend this nursery enough, it feels like a second family and we are so lucky to have found it!”

“My 3 year old is attending this nursery and he is really happy. Every time when i go to pick him up always a happy smile on his face. He definitely enjoys his time there. Also the members are really gentle, caring and understanding.”

“We booked Joe for our school Halloween Disco and my word he did not disappoint! Super easy to work with and plan the event, and then the quality of service throughout the 2 hour set was top drawer. Kids and parents were absolutely blown away!”

“We luv this centre sooo much. My LO is in his element when he gets there it’s like his 2nd home. The staff go the extra mile in everything they do for our LO. The staff are amazing and so caring towards our children. Thxs so much Southmead Children’s centre for what you do for our little ones.”

“Words cannot fully express our gratitude to St. Panteleimon Nursery. A heartfelt thank you from our entire family for the love and care you've shown to our beloved child (Viaan Gupta). Your warmth and welcoming nature have meant so much to both us as parents and our child. The staff have been incredibly supportive, and our child has loved every moment, taking their first steps towards independence. You were always there whenever we needed help, support, or advice, and always with a smile and kindness. We knew the nursery had an outstanding rating by Ofsted, and now we truly understand why. Our son has learned so much and had a wonderful experience at nursery. A special thank you to Ms. Andri Kyriakidou, Anjal Ahluwalia, Neha Vekariya, Khloe Barton, and Mr. Christos Kyriakidis for all that you've done for my child (Viaan Gupta) ! Thank you! :)”

“Golden Star Nursery has been a wonderful experience for our family. The staff are warm, caring, and attentive, and our child loves going each day. 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 ”

“Great nursery made by the lovely staff - highly recommend”

“My Son has been going to The Young Once since end of November 2024. When I saw him get off the breakfast table and walk by himself to the baby area, it was such a proud moment. He feels happy and at home there. This is the only nursery we have come across where the lovely staff has a big smile on their face at 8:00 am and same smile and enthusiasm at 6:00pm. This was so important to me. Kelly said to me you had the baby 9 months in your belly then a year of maternity and then you have to leave your baby with strangers, this nursery really gets it and gives our little humans all the love, confidence and care we wish for them. My little boy loves this place and when I ask him are you going to play with Carol. He has the biggest smile on his face and Carol is right, he can say her name now. I am so glad I visited this nursery and my little one is going to have amazing 4 years here.”

“Highly recommend nursery. Great communication, very friendly staff. The update on what my daughter does on the app is very helpful and reassuring. Photo updates on activities my daughter is always great to see.”

“My 8 year old daughter has been attending Art K on a Saturday morning for about a year and it is the highlight of her week. She has settled into the warm, caring environment really well and has produced some beautiful art... her skills are definitely being developed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Art K to anyone with a child who is interested in art... in fact I have recommended the group to many friends already!”

“The best Montessori nursery I ever found in London. Authentic Montessori, beautifull and nurturing environment. The owner and the teachers are kind, professional and very supportive to the children's development. They understand & apply true Montessori, as well as EYFS. The children really get good education and good care in this school.”

“My son loves going to nursery now. He excitedly runs to get to press the doorbell to go in and comes out smiling at pick up. It wasn't an easy start for him as he hadn't been away from me apart from with a couple of other family members before. Staff were accommodating and mindful of his needs and discussed with me how to help him settle and worked to find a strategy that made him feel nursery was a safe space. They were also very kind when I had my own little wobble as I was feeling worried about the whole situation. I love that new activities are set up each day. Pictures of these and of what the kids are up to are posted on the private parents facebook group a couple times a day. It means we can show my son and chat about his day and what is going on at nursery. It helps build his speech, but also allows us to learn more about who is important to him at nursery and what he enjoys even though he isn't yet able to express it fully in words. My son enjoys being outside. With the nursery's vast garden and free flow between in and outdoors most of the time, he clearly makes the most of it. Good wipe down coat advisable.”

“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!”

“My son went to PlayDays nursery and Ms Kerry and her team have took care of him really well for the last 6 months. My son joined the nursery when he was around 8 months old, with the team doing a home visit to introduce themselves to my son and performed a detailed profiling of his likes and dislikes and daily routine. During the first day of the settling I still remember that the key teacher started to introduce him to the new friends and toys and gradually make him feel more comfortable. The settling sessions were really good to slowly step up with the hours per day, which helps with the separation anxiety for first time parents. My son started off crying whenever we dropped him off and slowly he progressed to waving bye to me after a couple of weeks, which gave me the comfort that he’s enjoying himself there. The staffs were really enthusiastic and seems very passionate about giving the best they could for the babies. They take them out for walks, create art pieces with them, did lots of fun play, take lots of photos and share with us about their growth, they hand write daily journals and note down all the big moments that we may have missed and keep us updated everyday about the fun they had. There are of course days that my son is unwell and they really put in the effort to take extra care and follow our instructions to them closely and give us timely feedback. We truly appreciate all the work that they done for us!”

“Les Petites Etoiles has become an extension of our family. We absolutely love this nursery, the caretakers and all the staff. It's clear they are very invested in our children, and my children are always so happy to go to nursery every day which is all we can ask for. They took my daughter in at 6 months, and they saw her grow into a thriving toddler and have cared for her along every step of the way. They also have a really great outdoor space and are outside rain or shine, which is important for us! And I can't speak more highly of their food. My children eat better at nursery than at home! I couldn't recommend LPE more highly, any child who is lucky enough to go here will have a wonderful experience.”
