Top 30 Best Childhood development stages in London

“My 3 girls have been bare bones members since its conception and over 10yrs later they are still loving it. They attend the weekly drama classes and Lamda and look forward to drama in the woods every Easter. Sinead and Emily are true inspirations and continuously go over and above. They care, they really do and write their amazing shows considering every member making them all feel valued and give them the ability to grow and shine.”

“Great, well organised and community-focused nursery. All the staff is really professional and dedicated to the development and wellbeing of the children. Our child really thrived here and has always a great time”

“Incredibly day care. Friendly, caring and trustworthy. Laura has built a small but real community with the kids and the families. Best thing we've ever found!”

“I was in the year 1955-1956 I would love to meet one of my colleagues!”

“Hi, Yesterday me and wife came across this store on Kings Road, London. We absolutely loved the collection. The whole shopping experience was made even better the superstar store employee Magada. She was so courteous, so helpful. We Wish her all the best and keep up the good work. Regards”

“I've been going to Gemma for the last few years for my sons shoe fitting. I love how brilliant and patient she is with him and how much she knows about kids shoes. There are quirky gifts and great kids clothes too. Her ethics are brilliant and there's always something to look at. Luckily for me she's on my doorstep and I can't imagine going anywhere else for my kids shoes.”

“Rico has done a fantastic job working with us as parents and more importantly, delivered a birthday party that the kids really enjoyed. The flow was smooth and ‘Dino Rico’ has been able to hold the kids attention nicely. They all left the party with great smile especially our son - thank you for making him feel so special :)”

“Had heard great reviews of this nursery before I sent my younger one here. My older one went to a very good nursery and I thought it can't get any better. But I was mistaken, Stepping Stones is a step above any other nursery I have seen or heard. The staff and management are very welcoming and family like. I would recommend putting your child's name on the waiting list as soon as possible as the demand is quite high due to the value they provide.”

“Hands down the best nursery. My daughter started when she was a baby and is now a toddler and we can't thank the nursery enough for her development and progress that she has made. It doesn't feel like a business, you can tell Annoo, Aary and the team genuinely care. Their planning is meticulous and thought-out so the children learn a variety of things each day. I'm always impressed with the quality of the toys available and how clean and tidy everything is kept. The food is very nutritious and my daughter eats more of her meals at nursery than at home. We love the events that that are held to bring the families together and everything is well documented in the app each day and week. We are relocating and we're upset that this nursery can't move with us. Bitter sweet :)”

“Fantastic nursery! Highly experienced, professional and caring staff and management. Structured sessions designed to develop and support the children emotionally and academically. The curriculum is closely aligned with what the children will learn in Reception so it is great preparation for primary school. Highly recommended!”

“My son (5) has been attending Stagecoach Bromley for the past term. It is the first extra curricular club that he really loves, he is so excited to go each week. The staff are so warm and welcoming at drop off, and I feel completely comfortable seeing him off at the door (due to Covid). The staff make parents feel as involved as they can given restrictions. My son has really grown in confidence in a short time. Highly recommend!”

“Our daughter has been at N club for 2 years. She adores it and her teachers Joana and Asma in the Cove. They are out on trips each day in the forest or parks, eat amazing food and do brilliant activities - like making a recycling plant. Thank-you Cove!!”

“Our two children attended the nursery . From day one, we were convinced they were in good hands. The kids were just blossoming and wanting to learn new things. Every child is cared for, loved and guided to be creative. We made the best choice by choosing this nursery. Thank you lovely lady's for all of your love, kindness, patience and support. You always will be part of our family.”

“Sending your child to nursery is difficult for any parent. You want to make the right choice so your little one is happy and therefore develops. During Covid my child did not have the opportunity to interact with other children or be held by other members of family for the first 12 months of his life. Going to nursery was going to be a difficult step. The staff at Maisie Poppins have been more than amazing in helping my son settle in. I can leave him at the door knowing he is in safe hands. As a parent of course I worry, that's natural, but I don't worry about the care he is experiencing. He started two weeks ago and he still has a little way to go but I see a huge difference in his confidence and development. Maisie Poppins has been the right choice and my son is happy.”

“This facility is just amazing. The staff here are incredible and they are so dedicated. They make you and your little one feel so welcome!”

“TAS is an excellent nursery and pre-school setting. My little one has been there for just over a year now and it's been wonderful to see her flourish. The staff are so warm and caring - she and we have great relationships with all of them, and we feel very much a part of the TAS community. The staff also clearly know all the children as individuals and encourage their interests and development accordingly. The approach to learning is fun and creative, whether it's within the setting or out in the community or forest school. If you're looking to get your child into private school, they will do everything they can to help achieve this - I was very impressed with the time and effort invested in getting the children into first choice schools. I also really appreciate the high standard of communication with the parents, as well as the effort they put into celebrating a diverse range of events, often including the parents too! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend TAS to other families, and look forward to my younger one joining the nursery soon!”

“Really haply with the facility as well as the staff members, really friendly, professionals and do know how to understand the child's needs! My daughter used to cry so much at first, but after a few sessions she started to eat better, to enjoy more and made friends to play with! I do love that they have a very good routine in place that works well around the little ones needs, when she come home after a day spent she really is ready to go to sleep after a busy day at nursery!”

“My daughter has attended pound park for a year and I could not be happier. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming and my daughter loves coming to nursery every day. They have been so supportive of my daughters needs and have given her so much help as well as supporting us as a family. They are brilliant at keeping us informed with whats happening in and around nursery and have gone above and beyond to support us with our transition to reception after the summer. We could not have asked for a better nursery. The dedication, enthusiasm and care from the staff has been beyond amazing and the free flow of the nursery has benefited my daughters development greatly. We will be so sad to be moving onto our new school in September and wish we could take all the staff with us.”

“My son started when he was a baby, and he is in pre-school now, we are really happy with what MPH provides, and he enjoys going to nursery Activities are fun and at the same time meaningful he learns a lot He enjoys the cooking club, drama and dance and football club. I love their famly app, we get pictures and updates throughout the day, staffs are very friendly and kind We enjoy their summer fair event, picnic, and sports day where we get to mingle with other parents. They also host twice a year parents meeting where we get all the updates and what is the next step for our son, which is helpful for us to support him at home. We love their new building, very clean and tidy Also, our son enjoys the food at nursery which is prepared fresh and is happy with the balanced food menu. Overall we are really happy with the nursery and the service they provide, our 2nd baby will be joining there soon too. Farzan and Miya ( parents)”

“My daughter went to Bumblebees from 8 months until she went to school and my son from 9 months and he's still there! We love it! It's such a friendly, homely and family orientated nursery - with a wonderful warm and fun atmosphere. My kids have learnt so much! They're an amazing extension from what we do at home learning manners, sharing, social skills and most importantly they felt safe secure and had a ton of fun every day!!!”

“Great staff! They are super friendly. There are loads of activities for the kids and the rooms are well equipped.”

“Boys and Girls Stanmore is such a lovely nursery. All 3 of my children have gone here with just my 2 yo son left. The setting is well kept, clean and a very bright and welcoming place for both the children and parents. Every member of staff is friendly and helpful. Reception staff are great and always a very reliable source for communication which is key when you are leaving your children in someone else’s care. The carers in all the rooms of the nursery are so wonderful - kind, caring and my children established great bonds with all the carers as well as their key person. There are great facilities and you can tell a lot of thought goes into all aspects of the nursery from the toys to the displays and the activities provided each day. The new garden is amazing and the kids are always so excited to get outside. The food made on site by the nursery’s own chef is fantastic.. my children ate/eat so well at nursery and are a lot more open to trying different foods. Both my daughters were ready and well prepared to start their school journey with a huge thanks to Boys and Girls and I have no doubt my son will be the same. I would highly recommend boys and girls to anyone looking for childcare!”

“Bright Little Stars Stanmore is a perfect choice for the nursery for our daughter. She's absolutely loving it there. Always so happy to leave home, knowing she's going to be playing with her favourite teacher, Vilas. Also, many, many thanks to the Chef, Joanna, who found time to help my baby to settle in the thirst weeks. The level of care and education is exceptional, by far has exceeded our expectations. We could not have chosen a better place for our little star! Thank you to everyone at BLS!”

“Well thought out, changing things to do all the time. Brilliant”

“We have had a really positive experience with Creative Explorers. Felt reassured by the professionalism when we went to view. Signup was handled well. Our little boy settled in straight away and loved going in each day to see his teachers and little friends. Regular updates and pictures on the Famly app are really reassuring and I know that he is in great hands with all the ladies in the baby room. We are really sad to be leaving London in a couple of weeks and hope we will be able to find something similar. Would recommend Creative Explorers to anyone :)”

“My first daughter has been attending this nursery since she was just under 1 year old. As a first time mum I was very worried and apprehensive about leaving her in the care of others but I had no choice as I needed to work. I couldn’t have left her in better hands than the staff at Busy Bees Morden. They were so lovely to her, I could see an improvement in her development straight away. I have never had any issues and if anything concerns me I know that I can send a quick email or call and my concerns will be resolved. When my second daughter came, I had no doubts in also sending her to Busy Bees Morden, they are such happy little girls and love going to nursery. The staff have been great during this pandemic, I really could not ask for more from them. The Deputy Centre Director has been great in handling things during these unprecedented times. Thank you Busy Bees Morden!”

“This is a fantastic nursery that has great staff looking after the children (baby room perspective). The food is prepared by very good chefs who consider the children’s nutrition requirements consistently. The staff in the baby room are also very hardworking and happy to accommodate preferences on a child by child basis. The management of the nursery is friendly and willing to accommodate specific situations as required. The nursery uses Parenta and nurserycam for transparency and visibility of your child’s day to day routine with real time updates. Also, there are a few parking spaces at the nursery which is a bonus when it comes to drop offs and pick-ups. Highly recommended and it recently won the award for healthy early years by the Mayor of London”

“Very good place for children to play and learn. Friendly and helpful staff.”
