Laurel Way Playgroup 21 Woodside Avenue, London N12 8AQ

"The head teacher Susan is one of the best in this area. Thank you Susan and all of the Laurel Way staff!"

"Both my children went to Laurel Way Playgroup and I couldn't recommend it enough to parents looking for a supportive and nurturing nursery. The staff were brilliant and made learning through play so much fun. They prepared the children for Primary School wonderfully and I know that I owe both my children's easy transitions to that. The environment was caring and inclusive at all times and I loved the fact that they celebrated a variety of festivals and celebrations throughout the year and learnt about their friends' cultures. My all time favourite memory is the end of year Mini Olympics where children would represent their country of origin (with their very own painted flags!) and parade like Olympians before taking part in their races. This was followed by an amazing international buffet provided by the parents. Fond memories!"

"A real gem. This nursery really cares for each individual child - it is a real home from home. The children learn via play and don't even realise it. They offer Spanish, Stretch and Grow sessions, nature walks, cookery, trips to theatres, Teddy Bear charity picnics, Makaton signing, and much more. Lovely tailor made outdoor space and a huge range of resources."

"Excellent Nursery ! The staff are caring, the kids are happy. The learning is fun and well planned out with lots of variety to suit all children's needs. There is special attention for children with learning difficulties. Children who are exceeding their age will be stretched. There is a fabulous art room for the little Picasso's, an allotment for the garden lovers. Stretch and Grow, Spanish, Cooking lessons, Theatre outings, Mobile Library and of course lots of toys to play and learn. Including the sand pit, dolls house, indoor home corner, outdoor play house, climbing wall, slide and most famous the Telly Tubby Hill, with tunnels included. The end of Summer Mini Olympics is also a fantastic day with all the parents making food from round the world, your little ones will be so happy that you will shed a tear when they leave! I did with 2 of my children and now I have another two attending this great playgroup!"
