Parent involvement in London

“Now that I'm in Year 10 looking back this was a fantastic primary school and gave me a good start to life. Good Facilities, Great teachers. All around great primary school”

“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!!”

“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.”

“Both my son and daughter attend/ed HDN from 12 months old. I have been nothing but delighted with the care they’ve received. It is meticulously clean (considerably more so than any other nursery I visited) and food is cooked on site which I found really attractive. My kids settled within the first two days, have always bounded in every morning and left with a smile on their face despite the long days. The staff are really affectionate and gentle with them, and they have developed so much since starting. A special shout out to Emily and Andreea from the baby room who my son seems to love as much as his own parents! When we first joined there wasn’t a great deal of parental involvement - today, they make a huge amount of effort to involve parents with themed days where parents can go in and read stories, do activities etc. they also make an amazing end of year book filled with all the crafts from the previous terms and it’s amazing to sift through and have as a keepsake. Chris (owner) is really receptive to feedback and I loved his approach from day one. He’s focused on children’s learning, while ensuring it’s a fun environment for all. HDN is one of those “less known about” nurseries but I want to take this opportunity to shout from the rooftop how much we love it. I truly do recommend it to any parent in the area and can’t thank the staff enough for making my transition back to work so seamless. Leilah”

“My child has been attending Willow Nursery for over a year now and I have nothing but praise for this establishment. Thanks to the dedicated Baby Room manager and the staff who all work tirelessly to take care of all the children, my son has developed so much. My child was referred to external NHS departments such as Speech and Language, the Childhood Development Centre and Audiology when it was felt that he may need more support and that was as a result of the close work the Baby Room manager and SENCO manager had done with him. The nursery has fantastic resources and equipment such as a sensory room, SEN trained staff, a large playground, toys and books. Honestly, I visited a number of nurseries in the local area and none of them compared. The nursery is diverse as both the children and staff are of different cultures and raves and this is regularly celebrated. Overall, I can say I am extremely happy with Willow Nursery they take very good care of the children, keep parents and families involved and informed in everything they do and there is a real community feel about it. Well done Willow Nursery!!!”

“My husband and I have both been thrilled with the care provided by the nursery to both our sons since we enrolled our eldest in June 2021. The care provided by the setting is, in our opinion, outstanding. They feel at home in the nursery and that is all down to the love, care and engagement provided by the staff to the children, which is abundant. When discussing the boys with any member of staff, it is evidently clear they know our children well - they know their likes and dislikes, they embrace their personalities and they provide a learning environment in which their individuality can flourish. The nursery achieves a perfect balance between allowing the children to thrive in a play-led, loving environment whilst also identifying how they can nurture their learning in a way that feels fun and exciting to the children. Thank you so much Fatemah for taking such amazing care of our boys!”

“I would give you 10 stars if I could! Lovely welcoming centre and staff who create a fun and friendly atmosphere and the building is fun, friendly and colourful”

“Made my little one's 4th birthday party there, and it was awesome. A nice playground for little children, inside space for eating and cake time, helpful staff and lots of support from the house team. Greatly recommended.”

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

“Marish is a school where you get satisfaction it is a beautiful school if i would recommend anyone about school i would say Marish thanks Marish samhitha pinisetti”

“My son is so happy here. He's improved a lot and I can clearly see how's he been looking after very well. Staff are really helpful and friendly. It deserves Outstanding ofsted rate.”

“My son has been attending Lullabies Day Nursery since August 2022 and soon to be leaving sadly to start Reception, our settling in period was amazing and staff went above and beyond to help my son settle in who was very attached to me and took a moment to settle. The baby room staff did a great job and were on hand to also help me during the transition (which may have been harder). My son flourished in the baby room and was spoiled with so much love and care. The toddler room we really saw a larger than life personality form learning to really articulate and become independent. He was making great friendships and excited for learning from all the amazing activities. Thank god for Sunflowers as they did most of the potty training too :) soon we were ready to jump straight into preschool. My son has excelled and changed so much in this last chapter, there are new things he learns daily which we must follow at home. We are always corrected and informed that we must follow the golden rules. Butterflies not only complete assessments on a regular basis they also help share constructive feedback and work with parents to ensure our child’s needs are met and he is on the right path of his development stages. My son enjoys all aspects of the wide range of activities and group learning. The nursery have by far the biggest garden which the children LOVE, my son also eats very well there and is provided with delicious meals each week. The management team are always available to help and free for a chat, it makes me so sad to leave nursery as I have always felt safe leaving my son with such an amazing hard working team, he is always happy and has so many stories at the end of each day to highlight how amazing his day was. I always look forward to picking him up and receiving feedback. My son is a very happy and confident child, he loves his teachers and friends. We are so lucky to have had Lullabies help us during our challenging times of work / life balance, they have really played a massive hand in who my son is today, we could not have done it without them and thank you all tremendously for all your support during these amazing year. We wish you all well and will always cherish all that have you done for our son. Anisha xx”

“Very helpful staff amazing teachers i am very happy that my kids are in this school”

“Ruislip Stars Nurseries is a fantastic nursery that my husband and I would highly recommend. Our daughter started at Victoria Road but has now moved to the new St Mary's (on the Fairway) branch. Our daughter has attended full-time since she was ten months old and has thrived under the care and affection shown by the whole team. They have always provided the highest level of care and enabled her to achieve her full potential. Our daughter suffers from multiple severe food allergies and it is very reassuring knowing that she is being looked after by such a diligent team. Nicole is a wonderful leader and is working with a fantastic team. Our son also attended the setting during his summer holidays and had nothing but positive things to say - in fact he was a little sad when his time there came to an end! Thank you Ruislip Stars for being so amazing!”

“The selborne was excellent in inserting my daughter to support her, because we moved to London from Italy for almost a year, my daughter could not read write and do math. In a year she has done so much and improved so much, she loves going to school and loves teachers because they were very wonderful and she is recovering everything with serenity and enthusiasm. Thanks for everything Their work is really great. :)”

“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.”

“This School is very Good My Daughters love it.One of my Daughter's are having a ancient greek Workshop on Feb 1st”

“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.”

“I have been at first rung for 3 years, the staff are really nice and supportive. I have achieved a lot in the last 3 years . I completed level 1 childcare and L1 in digital media, I also achieved L1 Maths and L1 English , at the moment I am doing L2 English, and Child care work placement in the nursery, during this time I have had a great support from the Tutors , staff working in the First rung, they made me feel welcome, valued, meet my individual needs.”

“Two brilliant children all the way through from Reception & Infants at the adjoining Infants school to Yrs 3, 4, 5 & 6 at this excellent school, first now thriving at secondary. So good in fact, I volunteered as a Parent Governor 5 or more years ago to support it's great efforts in the community, and it's gone from strength to strength. Don't believe Ofsted, this is an OUTSTANDING school and no mistake. Don't believe me? Go in for a visit yourself.”

“Hopes and Dreams has been outstanding for 4y old our son. They helped him build confidence, kindness, skill, joy and a true sense of camaraderie. The space, admin and front line staff are all great and made things easy and fun, both for him and for us. The only problem? Everyone wants in, so try early, and ty again until you get a space. At first we didn't realize it would make such a difference at such a young age, but it definitely has.”

“This Busy Bees is absolutely outstanding. Our kids are so, so happy when they go and their development has been clear for everyone to see. The communication from the nursery is brilliant, even on weekends and out of hours and we firmly believe that they care for our children really well. The best thing about the place is that despite anything that may be happening at the time, the staff always approach the kids with a smile on their face and the staff give us such a lovely, warm feeling and one which entices us to bring our children there. Thank you so much. You do a stellar job and we are beyond grateful.”

“If Kindred is a nursery that you're considering for your little one, go for them! My son joined in March 2024 (2 years old) and they immediately put me at ease. Fast forward 7 months and his development is unbelievable. He loves his nursery so, so much and the team are ALL absolutely brilliant. Honestly, have no doubts.”

“It was soo fun for kids I came to pick up my daughter and I saw her have soo much fun I told her do you wanna go home she was like ‘’no””

“The folks of the Breastfeeding Support Network are always so helpful and welcoming—whether you're expecting, figuring it out with your day-old baby, or established and curious about what comes next. It's a lovely supportive environment to get information and connect with other moms.”

“Such a brilliant centre, thanks to committed, caring and professional staff, and some wonderful facilities and equipment for babies and children. Thank you Karen, Julie and all who work here.”

“Kindred Nursery has consistently exceeded my expectations in every way. My daughter is having an exceptional experience there. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and always receptive and supportive with all enquiries. She looks forward to going each morning, and I've noticed significant improvements in her education. I highly recommend Kindred Nursery for its excellent environment and dedicated team.”
