Preschool educational programs in London

“It's a lovely pre-school! Both my children attend and love it.”

“Visited this new nursery on an open day recently & was really impressed with it - the staff were extremely helpful, the space was well designed for children to learn and the garden was ideal for playtime! Very well situated near town centre & station - ideal all around!”

“Spacious,bright and clean setting, with professional and very friendly staff, always willing to help and the children are support in every aspect to developed, learn and achieve. Happy preschool for happy children!”

“Excellent pre school. Lovely friendly staff. My kid loves it there”

“My son has attended this nursery from a 1year old and has recently just left for school, the confidence, independence and compassion he has gone to school with is from the staff across the nursery who have shaped him into the little boy he is today. The nursery has always offered a high quality of care from nutritional meals to compassion calls to check in if unwell. It’s a lovely setting and we already have our second child registered to start, highly recommend.”

“We have been delighted with this nursery. The care and attention they have shown my son have been above and beyond what I expected. It’s made going back to work a little easier. The garden is a big positive for an inner city nursery.”

“We couldn’t be happier with play b c preschool . The staff have truly gone above and beyond for our son, making him feel safe, supported, and excited to learn every day. He’s grown so much in confidence since starting, and it’s clear how much thought and care they put into everything they do—from creative activities to the genuine relationships they build with the children. We’re so grateful to have found such a wonderful place”

“Our son has been at DBs since he was one, and he’s now in the pre-school class. He has always been settled there and made lots of friends. It’s a very loving, fun and creative environment and the staff are really wonderful with the kids. Annabel, the manager, has made a big difference since she started last year. We’ll be really sad to leave the nursery.”

“We are so glad to have chosen Hilly Fields for our daughter, who has attended since she turned one. She's incredibly happy there - she loves her key worker and other room staff, engages in a huge variety of activities, and eats and sleeps really well. We love that Theatre Bugs are brought in weekly for the children to enjoy music and dancing, and the large garden means they get plenty of outdoors time. Nursery management are fantastic and communication is outstanding - we receive lovely updates on their app every day. We can't recommend it highly enough!”

“As my daughter finishes up the happiest 2 years at Bright Horizons I thought Id write a review. We have not had a single thing we could possibly question or complain about in the past 2 years. The staff are wonderful and quickly become a second family, they are caring, friendly, passionate and motivated and always want the best for the children. My daughter has happily gone into nursery every day and is off to school as a well rounded, confident and clever young girl mostly thanks to her wonderful key workers LKeisha and Laura. Special mention has got to go to the manager Loraine and the chef John. Elizabeths eyes light up when she sees them and they are the kindest people you will meet. If youre deliberating sending your child here do not hesitate - it was the best decision we ever made.”

“This nursery is fantastic. I'm so glad I found you. Elaine and the team are amazing. Thank you so much for the wonderful year, we are delighted to be a part of your little community.”

“I cannot recommend Springfield lodge enough. My little one has been going since December and everyone at the nursery have been great. So caring and really trying to help him develop. He’s been slow to walk but all the staff have been trying to help him. I saw a previous post saying the staff were rude and perhaps it was because she was not from the UK. I really struggle to believe that this has been their experience as truly I think everyone at the nursery is exceptionally kind and really friendly. It’s also very multicultural and they go out of their way to embrace all of the different cultures, both with the variety of food but also loads of little extras including the different languages and celebrations. I’m a first time mum, so didn’t know what to expect but the nursery have gone out their way to reassure me and it really is the best environment for my little one.”

“Loving, creative childcare setting run by an expert team in a great environment. Our son has loved attending and really grown as as a person. Highly recommended”

“This is a fantastic nursery. Our son settled extremely quickly and that is because all the staff were brilliant and you can tell that they care about the children. All the staff across the nursery knew our son's name within a day and would say hello to him as we dropped him off. There is plenty of outside space which our son loved and they do loads of activities with the children throughout the day which they update you on through the app. Our son developed so much from being here and we highly recommend it for people looking for an outstanding nursery in Surbiton.”

“We lovely WM Battersea! We viewed a few nurseries in the area before landing on WM and they have truly been such a wonderful choice. Our daughter joined at 14 months and is soon to progress to the toddler room. She is always so excited to get to nursery and see all of the team in the baby room, she speaks about them when she comes home and is always in such a good mood after a day there. They offer really well balanced meals and the ratio of staff to children is excellent. We would recommend this nursery 10x over. Thank you WM for taking such good care of our baby girl!”

“Send my daughter here and this is her second nursery. Very very happy with all the team here. My daughter’s key worker is amazing and genuinely makes us feel our daughter is properly cared for. We stayed for a little bit one afternoon for a Father’s Day stay and play and you could see the bond that they had made. It was heartwarming to see. If we had another baby we wouldn’t hesitate to send them here. Thank you to all the staff for all the amazing work you do!”

“Today my daughter finished her wonderful time at St Patrick's nursery, as she starts school next week. Both my son and daughter started in Bakerloo Room...the baby room, and moved through Jubilee & Piccadilly room (toddler room) and then Victoria School House (pre-school). All three rooms were amazing for my children's development in a caring and safe environment, I would and have recommended to friends and neighbours to definitely consider St Patrick's for their children when the time comes. As a parent, both my children were very happy with their time at St Patrick's and the level of communication was second to none. My son had allergies and they are very supportive and treated this with high importance. If you are thinking about which nursery to send your child...you'll have peace of mind at St Patrick's, What a Wonderful Place to let your little one explore and have adventures with the team at St Patrick's.”

“A big thank you to the all team in totstars! We organised our daughter 4th birthday party and we had an amazing experience. Kids enjoyed the staying... there was music, lots of decorations and party food was good and fresh. Our daughter has amazing memories about her party and great time with her friend in Totstar.... I would recommend it to anyone!!! A big thank you to Carla-Maria for being so supportive and understanding. Party was spot on!!!!!”

“Our little girl loves every moment at this warm, nurturing nursery. She started at this nursery when she was 9 months old and quickly settled in. We viewed seven nurseries in the area before deciding that this one was right for her for four main reasons: 1. The room is bright and airy and with space for several activity stations/areas. 2. Babies can wander around the room freely and choose activities they are interested in (though inevitably everyone does everything eventually!) 3. There is a separate nap room! This is a rare find and it reassured us greatly as our daughter was coming off from feeding-to-sleep and we were not sure that she would nap well. The dedicated nap environment certainly helps as it means children who nap little will be taken into the main room and not disturb those who sleep for longer. After just a couple of weeks our daughter was sleeping with some gentle rocking/singing only. 4. The food is nutritious and varied. For example, one day last week they had a pepper and butternut squash soup for tea and a Moroccan tagine for lunch. My daughter was eating only lumpy purees when she first joined and the nursery staff were supportive in gradually introduced her to different textures. I feel the care my daughter receives at nursery is second to none. I fully trust all the staff with her care and see them as a family extension for her. They comfort her if she is upset and notify us and care for her if she becomes unwell. Her key worker, and all the practitioners at nursery, are clearly loved by her: if she is ever resisting leaving for nursery in the morning, I just need to say their names and she is happy in the knowledge that she is going to see some of her favourite people! Furthermore, the variety of activities that she does at nursery has helped her development no end. The regular updates on the app, and periodic detailed observations specific to my daughter help us to mirror activities at nursery and vice-versa. Motor-skills-wise, nursery encouraged her with standing, then walking, and their regular outdoor play and dance lessons have certainly contributed to her having good rhythm now! She was encouraged to feed herself at mealtimes, with nursery really supportive of her transition to becoming an independent toddler. Education-wise, there are always activities related to words, numbers, identifying colours, animals, objects etc.. Alongside this, there is plenty of seasonally-themed art activities, such as painting autumnal leaves, and educational play, e.g. washing dishes whilst singing about it, or finding hidden animals whilst reading an animal book. I cannot fault the nursery: they are attentive, responsive and communicative, and I don't know any child who doesn't have a great time there!”

“Super deserved 5 star review here and If I could give another star, I would xD It's been almost one year now that my eldest son attend Kïdo Tooting and we are really impressed with the staff commitment towards the kids development and education. The whole family is often involved in the wonderful Kïdo initiatives and this gave us the opportunity to get to know and to bond with other families too. Also we get every month detail report with the goals that our son has reached and what he needs to still work on. Really well done!”

“Very good education and care quality”

“Couldn't have picked a better nursery to send my child to. My son's development came on leaps and bounds after joining the nursery, all the staff are wonderful and I loved the updates via the app. I would give 6 stars if I could.”

“This nursery is absolutely wonderful - the staff are incredibly caring, thoughtful and helpful. Especially thankful for Taniha and the managing team - you created an experience and environment that exceeded all expectations! I feel incredibly lucky to have found this nursery for my child.”

“A brilliant nursery with dedicated staff who clearly care about the children and their work.”

“The staff are very dedicated and caring. It’s like having an extended family. They go the extra mile and both my daughters have loved going there. Emma the chef is an exceptional cook and she got both my girls eating well. Thank you.”

“Louise has truly worked wonders at the nursery! The environment she's created is simply wonderful for children's growth. The extra care they provide is remarkable.”

“We checked out quite a few nurseries in the area (some had spider webs to begin with!) and BH Bromley stood out by its professional and friendly team and how they look after the place that was renovated in recent years. It also comes with friendly hours that suit our busy day jobs. Nikki, Natasha and team have gone extra mile to accommodate our boy when we had to switch him to full time. They had his well-being at the centre of considerations. It was nice to see that staff (too many names to thank) from different rooms all work as one team supporting each other and they genuinely love spending time with children. Our boy finishes chef Nikki’s food every day! As parents we can get on with our day without worrying about our son. Everyone acts as the key person as they all knew how the day went for our boy when we picked him up. We just had a Mother’s Day tea. Being two daddies, it really felt no difference at all and that all parents are welcome and it was so lovely to chat to many.”
