“Amazing nursery to say the least. Staff very attentive, caring and really care about the development of the children definitely a home away from home experience for both my children who attended”

“Ever since my child attended this nursery they flourished even more. The nursery allowed them to explore and be creative understanding that each child is unique. The staff are hardworking and genuinely care about the children. Professional and prompt in responding to parents enquires. I now have my second child and will be enrolling them here once they are old enough. I only wish they would accept younger kids!”

The activities are fun, educational, and perfectly suited for the needs of children We’ve seen so much growth and confidence in our child since joining. Communication with parents is good too — we always feel informed and reassured. Highly recommended!”

“My Son has been going to The Young Once since end of November 2024. When I saw him get off the breakfast table and walk by himself to the baby area, it was such a proud moment. He feels happy and at home there. This is the only nursery we have come across where the lovely staff has a big smile on their face at 8:00 am and same smile and enthusiasm at 6:00pm. This was so important to me. Kelly said to me you had the baby 9 months in your belly then a year of maternity and then you have to leave your baby with strangers, this nursery really gets it and gives our little humans all the love, confidence and care we wish for them. My little boy loves this place and when I ask him are you going to play with Carol. He has the biggest smile on his face and Carol is right, he can say her name now. I am so glad I visited this nursery and my little one is going to have amazing 4 years here.”

“This nursery is a great place for our child to grow up and develop. Our son has loved it since joining at 8 months. He is well cared by loving passionate and very qualified staff members.”

“Little Learners Northwood is a wonderful nursery with a team of caring and nurturing staff who really do go above and beyond for the children. My son has been attending for a year and is thriving thanks to the wonderful team. They take great care of all the children and are so friendly and welcoming. It's wonderful to recieve pictures during the day to see what our son has been up to. Every day the teachers set up different activities based on themes throughout the year such as mothers day, diwali, Halloween, Christmas etc. We are so pleased we chose Little Learners for our son.”

“I could not recommend Tinkys nursery more! My daughter has been attending since age 1 and almost 3 now . From social development to academic development, my daughter has made excellent progress in her learning and social skills . Their attention to detail is next to none and they really do keep track of all activities/events each day to report to you on email and collection of your child. The freshly made nutritious meals are just another bonus. The staff are warm, friendly and approachable and my daughter is happy to see them when I drop her off and I know that she’s had a good day when I collect her as she chats about what she’s been up to. She has thrived since starting Tinkys and made special bonds with her peers and care givers . I feel confident leaving her with the lovely team knowing that she’ll have a great day and will be well cared for and treated as an individual.”

“An amazing service! One of the best shopping experiences I have ever had. My wife and I, popped in to look around. Sonny was very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. We ended up buying a whole travel system. Sorry for staying over the closing hours. PS. prices are really competitive even comparing with online.”

“My daughter has been going to this nursery since we came out of the first lockdown and she absolutely loves it. We haven't had any negative experiences or reasons to complain. The first time we went to view the nursery, we were amazed at the space the children have to play and explore. The staff are always welcoming and ready to have a chat about your child's progress. A lot of times when my daughter comes back from nursery, she role plays her experience with her dolls and teddy bears like she is teaching them, that really helps me to see how she is developing. I am grateful for the teachers and the work they are doing. As a parent, I have the comfort in knowing that Ethelred Nursery is providing the best environment for my daughters growth right now.”

“I love this place because it is my school”

“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!”

“I had 2 of my children at leaping Toads nursery, and I can honestly say it was the most amazing experience. I am a very nervous parent, and it takes a lot for me to trust anyone with my children, but I did not have one concern while my children were in their care. My children were always so excited to go to nursery and created lovely bonds with all staff members. Sean and Jodie were my childrens key workers, and they made me so comfortable and always looked after my boys. My 2-year-old son was very close to Jodie. I am so grateful to her! The administrative team was also very good! Saman was always helpful and helped me whenever I needed it, alongside Arabella from billing. Overall, I would recommend everyone to send their children to Leaping Toads nursery as it was the most positive experience for me and my family.”

“Google, this is not a plant nursery...”

“I am very satisfied with this kindergarten, the staff is very communicative and takes great care of the children”

“I attended Ragland School in 1943 at the grand age of 4 spending 6 months in nursery Lorna Drain”

“My son started attending this nursery from September 2024 because the previous one was closed. It was the best decision I made. Jigsaw nursery will fulfill the dreams of parents, it gives children a sense of security, care and takes care of education. Manager Chloe always greets with a smile and a kind word. Lauren my son key worker is an important person in his life, every day after nursery he asks if he will see her the next day. Angel, Rahima, Kami and Suad also approach their responsibilities with passion and respect. My son always says that he ate a delicious lunch and had a great time at his nursery. I can recommend this nursery with all my heart.”

“Hanwell Montessori has been such a wonderful influence on our first kid - even at 3 years old, they're confident, articulate, happy and as connected to the staff as their friends - so soon we'll send our next little one too!”

“I spent quite a long time visiting various nurseries in and around the area but once I visited this place, I knew my son would settle in. The staff and management are very welcoming, friendly and approachable. The nursery has a lovely warm feel to it, my son is very happy as am I. My second son is due to attend shortly and I'm full of confidence he'll love it too.”

“This truly international school with multicultural teachers is very family kind of place. They are not big so they have possibility to provide an individual approach to each kid. At the same time the school is within British educational system and provide good education on two languages. All the teachers are very caring and supportive. My son loves it!”

“Being a teacher, I was anxious about sending my child to a nursery as I compared all nurseries to the amazing nursery setting at my current school, so I was apprehensive about sending my child to nursery at 2years old knowing he wasn't yet old enough to attend a school nursery. To all parents of toddlers, I cannot praise this nursery enough! My son has been attending since January and the staff have been simply amazing at helping him to settle and develop his learning! I requested to see his key folder today for the first time as I couldn't make the recent parent consultation and I was simply blown away by the care his keyworker (Nicole) has taken to complete this- from the reports and observations to the detail in how much they know my son individually. I couldn't be happier with this setting and cannot recommend them highly enough! I viewed all three Leapfrog Nurseries and have friends whose children attend the other settings and I feel by far that this one is the best simply made even more special by the individual staff, manager and assistant manager who make you feel ever so comfortable and who truly care for your child above and beyond!”

“Best nursery in the area . Highly recommended”

“Amazing, professional and outstanding service .”

“An absolutely fabulous nursery. My son only attended one day a week but his progress in all areas sped up phenomenally after only a few sessions. Being at BP boosted his confidence, his interest in art, his social skills and his language and numeracy skills immensely. I can't emphasise enough just how lovely the staff are at BP; Henry looked forward to seeing them every week and barely gave me a second glance once dropped off! The staff were always consistent and everyone I spoke to there knew exactly who my son was and all his likes, dislikes and habits. A far cry from a previous nursery he attended where I saw his key worker twice in about three months and there was no sense of closeness with the toddlers at all... Henry always had the best time at BP, especially getting to go outside exploring every day he was there. We were absolutely devastated to leave and only did so because we were moving out of area. I would highly recommend this nursery if you are looking for a calm, well organised, friendly environment and professional staff who go above and beyond for the kids.”
