Kindergarten programs 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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“A lovely and caring local nursey. My son has been there since he was nine months old. I took him out to another nursery for a few months in the summer thinking that he would enjoy bigger garden space but he never did. We returned to SBS and he's been happy since. They organise Christmas play and summer activities allowing parents to join. My kid sometimes sings Christmas songs at home and I know that he's been practising for the Christmas play. Another plus is that parents in the nursery know each other because there is a playground just right outside of the nursery and plenty of opportunity for parents to exchange info during pick up time. I would recommend SBS.”

“Arthur absolutely loves going to nursery, all the staff are so lovely and friendly! Would highly recommend ☺️”

“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.”

“My daughter has been attending Stanmore BLS since last Sept and she loves the carers, other kids and the Milkyway room itself. She tells is what she played with on a nursery day, how she put her coat on/off etc. She has a lovely rapport with her key worker and all other carers too. She gets excited at the mention of Nursery! She is soon moving up to Orion and the team have arranged frequent visits to the room in advance so she settles easier - she seems to love the new room and I can see from the room visit that she will have a play-adventure everyday. Also happy with the webinars and learning resources BLS offer - I just attended the potty webinar this week and on the back of that we will soon be ready to implement the tools and advice to our daughter.”

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

“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.”

“Smart Play is very good nursery. A lot of educational programs for children, a good attitude of teachers towards children. A pleasant and cozy environment. My two kids attended Smart Play. Son(2018-2020y) and daughter just graduated ( 2022-2024y) My children and me love all the Smart Play staff a lot. I can confidently and happily recommend Smart Play to other parents.”

“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.”

“I am very happy that I chose this nursery. My son loved it from the first days. All the members made his adaptation very easy and pleasant, so much that the first week when I came to pick him up, he was crying because he didn't want to leave. Thank you all for the care, love, support and contribution to my child's development. It’s been amazing seeing him happy to attend and spend his days at little smile! I definitely recommend it!”

“Well structured and modern building. The most amazing and attentive staff. The nursery makes sure they celebrate all important days as well as cultures. Very experienced management and have accommodated all of my child’s needs. Would certainly recommend!”

“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!”

“We’ve sent both our DS to this nursery over the last 3 years. The consistency of care is fantastic; same consistent carers mean they have really taken care and helped our sons to develop. They worked with us through any “leaps”, teething or potty training situations. The chef David has been amazing, catering to their dietary needs (vegetarian, no onion/ garlic) with a smile and enthusiasm. The boys over the years have really enjoyed each day and their time especially with the Montessori approach. We get verbal feedback at the end of each day (whether a quick brief or more detailed as required). We loved that the boys were taken outside to the green common next door whenever feasible and were exposed weekly to music afternoons and exercise / sport sessions. They come back having painted, played, read books, learnt about culture and everything in between. The carers have been amazing - Kim, Rosa, Camilla, Lucy, Tiana, Prima, Cara, Leena, and recently Saheeda - we’ve known most of these over the last 3 years if not all of them (and they are still there!) - that consistency of presence and care has been incredible in providing a “second home” to our children. They know our boys, and saw them grow up from less than 12 months of age to 3 years. It was a really warming and caring environment which helped nurture our sons at such a young age. The love given to them (even at their worst times) was and has been invaluable. We’ve (all of us) had a truly happy experience with the fortune green team. From our perspective and from what I heard from parents at other nurseries, this is the one of the best nurseries in West Hampstead; despite others perhaps being more convenient location wise, or “newer”. Finally, this review has not come as a one-off assessment or as a new parent who recently joined; it’s over 2-3 years of experience with two very different type of DS. Thank you to the fortune green team for being there with us for our boys; my wife and I will not forget our time together and for ALL the right reasons. Lots of love S&K, A&V.”

“My son started attending the nursery when he turned 2. He had a speech delay and struggled with social play. It only took a month for me to see how much of an astounding effect Ihsan had on my son. He started talking more, playing with other kids, listening to instructions etc and a major part of this development was the staff at Ihsan nursery. They also supported him with the local SENCO and support plan meetings with me and his key carer. This made me feel so assured that the areas where my son needs assistance in developing would be focused on and worked on during his time at nursery. It wasn’t just as if I was leaving my son with babysitters but I was taking him to a nursery that actually considers and really cares about helping children develop essential skills and qualities that will help them for the rest of their lives. I also used to take my twin daughters to the stay and play from when they were around 1 till they were ready to join the nursery. They absolutely loved it. I would go almost everyday and they had different themed activities, friendly staff and a clear routine (play, clean up, circle time) which really helped my daughters once they started nursery at Ihsan. My kids love it at Ihsan and I’m so proud that they are part of the Ihsan family.”

“We absolutely love this venue at Sevenoaks. Perfect for meet-ups. We have playdates here with our children and their friends/family on many occasions, aswell as having my sons exclusive party hire here 2 years running. Stress- free. He is crazy about this play centre, and he always loves the adventure. They also give a free pass valid for 6months if you hold ur party here. Its clean, very well run and inviting. Great parking too! There's a cute cafe and snacks for adults and little ones. The staff are brilliant, attentive, extremely helpful and caring. Its such a great venue to inspire amazing learning through play. We highly recommend Little street.”

“This is an incredible nursery. The staff is caring and extremely understanding. They are flexible. The children are well cared for, they eat very well. The nursery nurses are very professional and on top of the children development with daily reports and advices. My son loves it there and never cried one single time when dropped off in the morning. He is healthy. I could not recommend Bright Futures nursery enough!”

“As new parents we had the usual worries of having our child leave the home environs to start spending time at a nursery and pre-school. From questions about how settling in would happen, eating, drinking water, to physical safety and provision of attentive care and learning. We are pleased to share with parents looking to use a nursery and pre-school in the Pinner / Eastcote area that our experience and our kiddos experience has been wonderful. Our child joined the class for smaller children (Fawns) and then moved on to the class for bigger children (Cubs). All over the nursery, the staff have shown great responsibility in providing individualized care, guidance and have been attentive to our requests (almost daily) for looking after the well being of our little one when under their supervision. The staff from the head teacher to the teaching staff, assistants and support staff have shown great gentleness in handling all matter of things that can occur with a little 3 year old. They have observed our child's development needs and have been in constant conversation about these as out child has moved along. Observations of personality, abilities to follow instructions, manage independently have all been addressed. Last but not the least they have made learning fun covering all areas of the Early Years curriculum. As a result our child has blossomed at Cheeky Chums emerging from it more mature, independent and confident. I'd hand down recommend this nursery and pre-school to any new parents looking to use one local to Pinner / Eastcote. Well done team Cheeky Chums and a huge heartfelt Thank you from us parents! This time in our child's journey will forever be cherished for all times to come!”

“I'm thrilled with RIMU Music Day Nursery! The staff are wonderful, my child is always happy, and the constant updates and observations on Famly are a great touch. Highly recommended!”

“We feel incredibly blessed to have found The Gower School - Montessori Nursery! From day one, the staff has been nothing short of amazing. All of the teachers are true professionals — caring, kind and enthusiastic — with a genuine passion for teaching (not only children but their parents as well. We found their lectures and courses very useful). Core day activities, music, ballet, sports, forest school, French - everything is excellent. They go above and beyond to ensure that each child is not only happy and comfortable but also continuously progressing. We are grateful for how supportive they’ve been during the sometimes difficult settling-in process with our younger daughter, always providing patience and understanding. It truly feels like they are part of our family. We're especially grateful for the support the staff provided in helping our older daughter prepare for her 4+ assessments. Thanks, in large part, to their dedication and expertise, she was accepted into the top selective schools in North London. A huge “thank you” to everyone at the nursery for taking such wonderful care of our precious children! I firmly believe this is the best nursery in London.”

“The most wonderful nursery! Our little boy has developed and learnt so much there. He absolutely loves going to nursery. They love and care for the children so well. He blows them kisses goodbye at pick up. I completely trust them and appreciate all their hard work. I could go on and on. The main thing I’ll say is that I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Kindred. Very professional, warm and friendly, excellent care. You won’t regret sending your children to them. We love it there and think all the staff are fantastic. Thank you!”

“My son is 22 months old and he hasn’t settled well in a few nursery’s I’ve taken him in the past few months. He has settled in Over the rainbow so well that I’m in shock and not only that but just in a few days he’s seems to have better interaction with us and wants to play at home more and is very joyful. I’m so glad I found this nursery. The staff is what makes this nursery .. it’s not a fantastic location but the activity’s and the staff are unbelievable and just so easy going, informative, gentle and reassuring. I’m very thankful and can’t wait to see my son blossom as I know he’s in the best care. Honestly this nursery is brilliant. Servete is my sons key worker and she’s so lovely. But every staff member there is just fantastic.”

“CurioCity is the perfect place for our little daughter. We were quite concerned starting her at six months of age but the nursery staff put us so much at ease from the very beginning. The bond that the teachers share with the children in the baby room is so heartwarming and reassuring. Our daughter absolutely loves going there and gets very excited every day at drop-off. The children get exposed to many different experiences and the teachers are led by each child’s impulse & interests. What this nursery offers every day would be impossible to duplicate at home: different crafts, music, reading, muddy outdoor time (in the NEW garden area or the park), taking their nap outdoors when the weather allows in the summer months - all embedded in a comforting daily routine. My wife and I are completely in love with this nursery. The daily updates we receive on our daughter‘s development (including pictures and videos) are so precious to us! And the food they offer the little ones is AMAZING!!”

“Our daughter has really enjoyed attending this camp for a few years now. The camp offers a variety of sports related activities. Luke and the team at Plumcroft are friendly and welcoming and take good care of the kids. Would recommend!”

“Bowes Park is a really lovely nursery. All the staff are wonderful and treat the children with love and respect. It is really well managed and parents are kept constantly informed about the children’s progress. We were so happy to find Bowes Park after a negative experience at a different nursery, it is a very happy place and I would definitely recommend it to any parents looking for a great nursery.”

“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 !”

“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!!”

“My child went to Le Jardin des Dyvrande from the age of one. He thrived in this nurturing environment. The Early Years team worked closely together and planned relevant and engaging experiences for all the children. I felt that the daily communication from the staff helped to paint a picture of what happened each day and I like how they all had a relationship with my child. The settling in process went smoothly and we were sad to leave when we moved from London.”
