Learning through exploration in London

“Kingswood Day Nursery is absolutely amazing. From the moment we joined, the staff have been warm, welcoming, and incredibly caring. You can feel how much love and dedication they pour into everything they do. My toddler has grown in confidence, development and happiness since starting there, and it is such a joy to see. They have been spectacular with my son—so patient, nurturing, and full of energy. They really understand how to support him through these important early stages, from encouraging his speech and social skills to helping him feel secure and confident in his daily routine. He’s always excited to go in and comes home with the biggest smile, which says it all. The nursery creates a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where every child is treated with kindness and respect. The staff truly take the time to get to know each child and support them in the best way possible. It is clear they are passionate about what they do, and it makes such a difference. I honestly could not ask for a better place for my little one. Kingswood is a place full of heart. Thank you to all the teachers and the management for helping my lil boy grow”

“Our son has been attending 1st Place at Chumleigh Gardens since he was 10 months old and we couldn’t be happier with the care he has received over the past three years. The staff are fantastic—kind, nurturing, and dedicated. He has built strong relationships with his carers, many of whom have been there throughout his time at the nursery, providing a wonderful sense of continuity. One of the things we love most is the emphasis on outdoor play and exploration. He thrives on being outside every day and especially enjoys the trips to forest school. The nursery also fosters a great sense of community, and he has made lots of friends along the way. The focus on child development is excellent, ensuring he is well-prepared for the next stage of learning. We are incredibly grateful for the care and support he has received and would highly recommend the nursery to other parents.”

“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.”

“LOVE LOVE LOVE this kids space! Bright, inviting and stimulating activities to get on with! It’s a wonderful environment always filled with happy faces and the space is perfect for children to ‘network’ & build a number of skills, including social, communication, logical, physical and imagination! Equipped with loos as well as feeding & changing stations, it’s a no brainer! This place is perfect to visit multiple times and let the little ones blow off some steam!! Highly recommend!”

“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 friendly staff and midwives. Had an excellent experience throughout my pregnancy.”

“Great little Zoo, with a good choice of animals, my personal favourite were the penguins. Going midweek, there were plenty of parents/grandparents with toddlers, who all seemed to be having fun. There's an outdoor play area and a small indoor play area and cafe, and also a restaurant/cafe. There were outside eating areas but they were all closed on the day of our visit. Plenty of parking. We were there 2 hours.”

“Excellent nursery both my son and daughter attended this nursery. Great staff and very helpful and welcoming management team that always greets us with a smile.Brilliantly friendly and committed staff. Lots of engaging activities for the children. A perfect nursery choice for my son. Love Thank you very much.”

“The teachers are really passionate about their teachings. I am extremely pleased with the school as my daughter is getting a private school education without paying the school fees.”

“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.”

“With regards to the childrens classes, The Panther Taekwondo team continually show their commitment to the highest of standards for training, manners, and ettiquette all done in a fun and engaging way. My daughter has learned a great deal from the team and she thrives on moving up the grades fully supported by the fantastic squad leaders and instructors. I highly recommend Panther Taekwondo Academy to all ages and all levels.”

“Food was really good, the fish and chips was stellar, with a thick fillet coated in an airy crisp batter, it was lovely with malt vinegar and the tatare sauce. Burger was well done too. Our server Idil was personable and warm, thanking us for waiting on a busy evening and even giving an extra sticky toffee pudding. Great time all around!”

“Teaching yoga there as a volunteer for Age UK - love it and the people I'm teaching”

“So long as the electronic gates to the Muga pitch is switched on. The surface is nice with an overhead net so the ball doesn't fly off onto the streets or schoolyard nearby. Enjoyed playing there.”

“I have been working at Lady Aisha for a couple of years now and I can honestly say that it has been my favourite job so far. The teachers are so hard working and show dedicated attention towards every pupils achievement. In 2016 our school came first in Barking & Dagenham and our GCSE results were above the national average. The school offers a wide variety of subjects at GCSE level to cater for the students learning needs. The students are bright and often competitive which encourages them to continue working hard. I would definitely recommend this school.”

“I really enjoyed it and I wish I could go back to it and the education standards are very high and Ithaca great amount of fun”

“I am Claudia i love diversity and i met diversity the last year”

“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!”

“Nice, clean pool and free parking!”

“I bought my niece and nephew here for the first time whilst on holiday. They are 8&6, they had a wonderful time. We also enjoyed drinks and snacks from the cafe area. I was very grateful to find this place as it definitely helped wear them out. It’s well maintained and the staff were lovely. This was my nephews favourite part of our holiday. We will definitely visit again next time we are that way.”

“Wonderful little soft play, has a cafe inside and an area for babies, a bouncy castle outside toilets.”

“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!”

“Fabulous place for a party or to drop in. A huge range of activities, for all ages, especially the innovative Escape Rooms! Staff are friendly and accommodating, kind and caring. Some of the you get staff could possibly be more proactive when dealing with smaller children, but I'm sure experience will improve that. I can't recommend this highly enough, and all my guests were impressed too.”

“My family and I recently spent a wonderful afternoon here for a birthday party. As a parent, the first thing I noticed and appreciated was the focus on safety. The equipment is well-maintained, and the layout ensures kids are always in sight. The variety of play structures and areas meant that children were never bored. They climbed, swung, slid, and explored!”

“I am a new retiree and have recently become a volunteer at Barnfield Riding for Disabled/Riding School. I didn’t know what to expect …but the kindness and expert care shown to the horses and clients is exactly what I hoped. At age 66..and having not ridden for many many years..I have been inspired by the staff here to soon start my own riding lessons and aim to get back in the saddle…something I never thought I would ever do. I unreservedly recommend. (maybe anyone reading this might consider volunteering too?)”

“At was my school last year at I miss all my best teaches Karim”

“One of the best nursery schools, this is my sisters school. She ABSOLUTELY loves it ! A staff teacher called "Rahima" is her teacher currently, she says Rahima is fun. This nursery is soo fun ! Recommended to send children to this lovely helpful fun school !”

“Love Irena! My daughter has really exceeded herself in ballet with the support of ballet and enjoys coming every week. Irena excels at the strength of the children and is very disciplined. Strongly recommend kalinka!”

“I highly recommend this nursery. My son, Sayyid, has been attending for three and a half years, and he feels safe and happy there. Every day, he’s excited to go, and he loves everyone who cares for him. The staff are always smiling, friendly, and make him feel like it’s a second home. As a mother, seeing him so happy gives me confidence and peace of mind. Sayyid started attending the nursery as a baby, and it’s been amazing to watch him grow and learn so much over the years. A special thanks to Suri, the nursery manager, who has carefully selected such a wonderful team. She is always welcoming, approachable, and available, and I truly believe the nursery wouldn’t be the same without her.”

“Such a lovely fitted t-shirt with an even stronger message behind it! Lauren communicated well and the t-shirt was delivered within the time scale. 100% recommend!”
