Parental involvement programs in London

“Linden centre is absolutely brilliant! I have 2 daughters and the youngest went here. My experience has been so much better than with a private nursery. The staff are incredible and loving and supportive and fun! I am so so grateful to Linden for helping raise my daughter.”

“The most wonderful nursery setting. My daughter has absolutely thrived there and the staff are all marvellous. Couldn’t ask for better. 10/10”

“My daughter started in this nursery when she was 12 months old in the baby room, and since then she developed in such a nice Way! She learned a lot of staff and every week she is coming with something new. The staff is really nice and supportive with the kids . My one is really enjoying the nursery! Thank you the amazing team that you are allowing my baby girl to Shine like a Little star every day!”

“Ringrose is absolutely outstanding; both of my children had a wonderful time here, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. I looked around all the nurseries in Chelsea and South Kensington, and Ringrose stood out because of the holistic nature of the experience offered: not only does it offer a fantastically nurturing and warm environment for little ones to flourish, but academically it is rigorous and gives children a great head start when they begin at school as the children are taught phonics very thoroughly indeed and are able to read to a high standard when the leave. St Luke’s Hall is airy, spacious and light, and they have St Luke’s gardens and football pitches on their doorstep so there is plenty of space for them to roam around and enjoy their weekly Playball lessons. I really appreciated the flexibility offered - afternoon sessions are optional, and that is unusual as most nurseries require full day attendance during the second year. The Christmas and summer term productions were always a total delight. Above all, the staff are, without exception, friendly, kind, warm and extremely experienced, and I always felt that I was leaving my children in the most capable hands: both of my children would skip in without a backward glance. Over the past four years my children and I have made some incredible friendships; there is a great community spirit amongst the parent body. I am sad that our time at Ringrose has now come to an end, but I shall cherish the happy memories and continue to recommend it unreservedly to any prospective parents.”

“My son finished nursery today! Everyone at Rising Stars is seriously amazing, they're so good with the kids, and my son feels so loved there. Thanks for helping him grow and learn so much!”

“I toured ten nurseries before I found FRS Kindergarten and knew I didn’t need to look anywhere else. The teachers are so caring and responsive to children’s needs and interests. Just in the past week, activities have included building airports and going on ‘holiday’ with friends/relatives from Uganda, Hong Kong, Russia, South Africa talking to them on zoom or in the huge nursery garden about their home towns around the world, plus the children have been cooking dishes from around the world , learning music, and sports. It’s a Jewish nursery but not exclusively so and the families come from a huge range of backgrounds and locations. It’s small, nurturing, very outdoorsy, super covid safe, which we as a family were particularly worried about. The nursery accepts children from 2 and I couldn’t recommend it more! My two eldest have been and currently attend and my baby will as soon as she’s old enough!”

“Absolutely BRILLIANT pre school. The staff are so friendly and hands on. The manager goes above and beyond, recognising a childs potential, no matter what their ability and nurturing it. They regularly update on your child's progress and work with you to bring them on. I would have no hesitation in recommending this excellent nursery”

“Both our kids attended the German Kindergarten and we were really pleased with it. The staff is friendly and well trained. They are all native German speakers and our bi-lingual kids were very happy. Kids can get outside every day as they have a little garden and playground next door. This was something we really appreciated! The staff is also able to speak English with non-German speaking kids if necessary”

“Our child loves it here and the staff and facilities are great. Highly recommended!”

“Aunties Jackie and Alison and all the other wonderful Aunties work so hard to give the children such creative, fun and varied activities everyday. My daughter absolutely loved her time at Stanmore Baptist and we thank all of the Aunties for making her nursery years filled with such happiness, wonderful friendships and inspiration. Thanks you x”

“İ love this nursery, my son started to go this September and they are so friendly”

“We have had an absolutely wonderful experience with Greenwood Nursery. Coming from a previous nursery where a serious case of abuse had been announced a year ago, trusting a new setting again was not easy for us. At first, we also weren’t fully convinced by the layout, as the nursery is split into two separate buildings. But in the end, this turned out to be a real positive;everything runs smoothly, and the setup actually works incredibly well. The staff are truly fantastic. They provide detailed handovers every day and post frequently on the app, where we can clearly see how busy and engaged they are with the children. Our child was excited to go to nursery every morning and absolutely loved every single member of the team. One of the things we appreciate the most is the variety of activities they offer. They don’t just stay indoors;they take the children out regularly, and they even organised visits to a local care home. This is one of the most heartwarming activities we’ve seen, benefiting both the children and the elderly residents. They also go to the playground twice a day, and at the end of our son’s final day, he came home with a whole bag full of arts and crafts he had made. Although our son is now in school and attends a different nursery for afterschool hours (purely for convenience), we truly miss Greenwood. One of their standout qualities is their openness: parents can come inside at pick-up, walk in freely, and see the children in action without making them uncomfortable or interrupting. This transparency gave us a huge sense of trust and peace of mind;something we haven’t found elsewhere, where doors barely open and everything feels much more closed off. At Greenwood, you can pop in at any time and see exactly what’s going on. They have nothing to hide, and it shows. We would 100% recommend this nursery to any parent. For us, it’s the best nursery in town. If they had an outdoor space, it would be a 10/10;but since they go outside twice a day anyway, I think they fully deserve that 10/10. Definitely give them a try. We’re so grateful for the amazing experience they provided our little one.”

“Sudbrook is a lovely school, the children are loved and taught and come out with a good background. There is a great mix of physical and mental work coupled with healthy amounts of play. Honestly we could have done with having longer hours but if that's the worst problem then they are doing very very well. Highly recommended for your little ones. Not recommended as a sixth form college :) ......................”

“Best Nursery ever, my child loved it there. Staff is amazing, they take care of children like they were their own. My daughter loves there and I can see how she was improving with hers behaviour, speech, manners. Staff is so helpfull and kind. Love every single of them and am so great full to them. I suggest anyone and everyone this amazing nursery, you will not regret and main thing our child will be happy and safe there.”

“The staff are friendly and really go that extra mile with the children . My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her work experience and plenty of activities for the nursery children to experience. Thank you for giving my daughter this wonderful opportunity.”

“The happiest start to life. My son couldn't have asked for a better time.”

“Wonderful nursery with most loving and caring staff. My daughter attended this nursery before moving on to school. She adored her teachers. Her day was full with fun filled activities and the Montessori learning work cycle. Staff is caring and nurturing. My daughter has become a confident individual. All credit to the nursery”

“Thank you to everyone for looking after my child in such an excellent manner and for always accommodating us. She loves loves you all and her social skills are thriving. The staff are lovely and welcoming and that's important as a parent to know you have left your child in good loving hands.”

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ BEST NURSERY in London. The warmth & care our son was given during his time at Newpark Islington lifted the weight I had going back to work after being home with him for a full year. After he settled in, he was all smiles upon arrival and pickup (at only 1 year old!), and the detailed comments from the staff indicated they really knew our son (his likes /dislikes, little habits, etc.) Not to mention that the learning methodology, nutrition, facilities are all best-in-class. We just bought a house in a different part of London, and we are legitimately debating driving all the way back to Islington every day so our son can stay with Maria, Diva, Francesca, Georgia, and the rest of the Newpark’s Islington team. You won’t find better care for your child.”

“Had the most wonderful experience at this Pre-School. The teachers and very kind and friendly, my daughter loves them! They made the transition very easy.”

“I would say the best pre school in Penge, the teachers and the management team are so polite, well behaved and responsible. One of my sons was graduated last year and then enrolled my second child this year.”

“Lovely nursery with caring staff. I currently take my one year old there and always feel that he is well looked after and cared for. He's been going here since he was just over 5 months old. I always get good feedback on what he's been up to, I can see when he's eaten, had a nap, changed his diaper etc and some cute pics on the Famly app. As young as he is, he is learning a lot and I credit his key worker and all other staff involved in his care for that.”

“Best around South London, my son still misses it from big school”

“Our twin girls are so happy at Chrysalis. The staff are so friendly, professional & we know the days that they are in they are being entertained with a wide range of educational activities & good food.”

“Great and very well run kindergarten. The attention to detail and care of the key workers towards the children is exemplary.”
