Family activities in South Croydon

“A really lovely large park. Children's playground, a massive lake with 3 different piers which overlook it, a viewing mount you can see all around from, and a massive field. Really good for children to run freely, or cycle in.”

“I will be placing my son into this nursery in a few months time. Having experienced other settings, Fennies offers a variety of events not seen at other nurseries. The building is light and spacious and the staff are very friendly.”

“Always very friendly and a decent selection of chocolate. What more can you want? Oh yes, they also do Collect+ so it's handy to get deliveries / send parcels at convenient times.”

“My son has been going to Kinderland for over 2 years now and we have always found the staff to be friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Our son absolutely loves his time at the nursery and it's not surprising given the excellent facilities and wide range of varied activities that take place there (leaps and bounds among his favourite). His mum and I would love to be able to take credit for the way he's developing, but in truth he spends 4 1/2 days in the care of the nursery. Their excellent care has played a huge part in him becoming a thoughtful, kind and sharing little boy. I can't recommend Kinderland Day Nursery enough.”

“I've used Max and attended various Hoopstar events over the years. They bring something unique every time and it's great to see entertainers who go the extra mile to keep things fresh and creative. If you've got little ones who need a smile and to be kept busy for a few hours, check out their website to see the variety of shows they put on. There's something for everyone!”

“Great children's centre. My favourite. It has a sensory room and soft play. It is open every day, different activities. Check beforehand to avoid disappointment. It gets full so be on time.”

“My son joined Little Apples at 14 months old and quickly settled in, largely down to the friendly and caring staff. Each morning we are greeted with a warm smile and each afternoon at pick up we are told what he did that day and what his response was to that activity. Throughout the day we can see what he is up to using the Blossoms app, where his general progress is recorded and well as developmental milestone tracking and praise. We genuinely feel relaxed when our son is at Little Apples and therefore made the easy decision to enrol our youngest child there too (he starts in a few months). We feel very lucky to have found such a great nursery for our boys; knowing we can go to work and have peace of mind that they are having fun, learning and kept safe.”

“Both our son and daughter began to learn to swim with Aquatots from the age of 6 months. They are now 10 and 6 and still enjoy their weekly lessons. From our perspective, we have watched them grow in confidence and technique with supportive, caring and encouraging teachers. The administrative support team are also incredibly helpful. We cannot recommend Aquatots highly enough.”

“The service I received from Blue Dental is outstanding after a couple of visits I can now smile with confidence, polite and treatment was quick and practically painless. Thank you”

“5 stars!!!! These guys where amazing. Free pizzas in the woods what more could you ask for. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend!”

“I have had two children at Fennies over a period of five years (2013-2018) encompassing all the grades (Baby Room, Toddler Room, Pre-School Room) and have been very happy with it. The staff are wonderful, very engaged, energetic and positive. They are creative and imaginative and come up with so many different ways to help the children learn and grow. The physical space is very good and well set up and there is a huge garden in which the children spend time in all but the coldest days. My children have loved their time at Fennies and have been very well prepared for school there.”

“We attended the open day on 11th march and we were very happy with the staff who answered all our questions patiently. Beautifully located nursery where kids get to be right next to a sports field”

“This is the second nursery we have tried in this area. It is far and away the best. The teachers are dedicated professionals (most are also Montessori trained in addition to EYFS training) who are obviously enjoying their work with children, and who are committed to Lemon Tree in the long term. In other words, unlike the other nursery we tried which had huge problems with staff turnover, the teachers at Lemon Tree know us, we know all of them, and most importantly they and the children know each other. Every week my partner and I talk about how relieved we are that our son is at Lemon Tree, and how confident we feel in the care and attention he is receiving there. They also have an enormous outdoor play area with real grass and trees, not just a carpark covered in astroturf. The children are given many opportunities for outside play and they integrate natural learning with their Montessori curriculum. I would recommend this place without qualification.”

“Very friendly service. Great people. My cat is always eager to see the boss.”

“Absolutely lovely nursery. My son has been attending for the last 2 years and has really thrived there. It’s really happy and supportive environment, all the staff are friendly and my son loves going. Would highly recommend.”

“A very friendly school which I enjoyed every bit since the start of the term.Best place ever!!!”

“Attractive new pool and the staff are friendly. Most visitors obey the no shoes (beyond a certain point) rule. This contributes to keeping the surroundings clean and pleasant for all.”

“Amazing school with dedicated and caring staff AND its own radio station... watch out Capital radio!”
