Top 30 Best Preschool daycares in London

“So grateful for the wonderful staff here, who seem to genuinely enjoy looking after the babies! My little girl loves it - she gets to socialise with other babies, is exposed to a range of activities (some of which are much too messy for me to be willing to do at home!) has learned to eat a varied range of foods, goes outside to play every day and has bonded wonderfully with her key worker and other staff and babies. The location is extremely convenient and the rooms are kept clean and decorated nicely. We love it.”

They've attended farm trips, excursion to The London Aquarium, parent/child, sports and crafts day, as well as multi sports sessions with a trained coach. These extra activities are well organised and planned (I've volunteered a few times and seen it for myself). I've worked in childcare and would highly recommend Kingswood.

Wonderful caring teachers, there are lots of amazing daily fun activities, the baby room space is playful and inviting to children. I especially like how engaged they are when it comes to communicating with parents and making us feel involved - so far I have attended one stay & play and loved every single minute of it. It would be great if the outdoor space was more up to date / bigger but I know there are some plans already in place. We are delighted with our experience so far and our son is very happy to go every day which is the most important thing.”

“Competent and loving staff in the baby room. The buggy room is awkwardly situated and not practical at all though.. I wish they did something about it.”

“My daughter loved this nursery. It was the best decision i made sending her before lockdown and after. The team took such great care of my daughter. She suffers with ASD and they accommodated her needs. Supported her. She had the best summer 2020 at Brighton Horizons Westhill. Thank you to Eve and her whole team.”

“Had daughters party here, friendly staff, play frame, entertainment, food, party bags. also attended a few different events in the holidays, my kids always have fun and love returning!”

“Magic Nursery in Finchley is a great environment for children. My daughter is extremely shy and she had been attending another nursery before i found this one. I was very nervous and worried about her move and how she would settle in but it has been the best choice ive made. Although she is quiet she has made so much friends, and staff always encourage her to get involved. She has built good trusting relationships and although she is still shy she absolutely loves nursery. Not to mention the superb development in her reading, writing, and communication skills. I am very impressed. Great keyworker who understands my daughter well. Well done to all the staff, and thank you to everyone, its so great to know she is in safe hands and in an environment where she is comfortable and enjoys!!”

“My little one spent 3.5 years in the nursery and we never had to worry about his well being. This nursery is excellent and staff is very friendly. Highly recommended for parents looking for good options.”

“Kido is a caring and supportive nursery that our daughter loves. We moved to Kido from another Crouch End nursery as soon as it opened and we like everything about it. The staff are friendly and cheerful, the facilities are brand new and rich in resources for the kids, and our daughter is making friends and learning new things every day. The curriculum is unique and is giving our daughter exposure to sign language, Mandarin, sport, and so much more. And we particularly appreciate how communicative Kido is with parents - there's an app that provides daily personalized updates, photos of your child, and other news - and staff communicate regularly with parents about events at the nursery. We really couldn't be happier and would recommend Kido to anyone in the Crouch End area.”

“I have two children at Mallards Wood. The nursery has a real family feel due to the intimate setting & the staff, who are always extremely friendly, approachable & enthusiastic. You can tell they really care about the children from the way they engage with them, but also the way in which my children respond to & talk about the staff, who they have both formed strong bonds with. The activities are diverse, creative & engaging, whilst also helping with the children’s learning & development. Any issues we have had have always been dealt with swiftly & professionally. Meals are made on site & are varied & healthy. What really sets the nursery apart is the way in which staff always go the extra mile. From Birthday parties, to summer fetes, graduation ceremonies & ways of communicating & engaging with pupils & parents during lockdown – the time, effort & consideration the staff put in is priceless.”

“My daughter settled in October 2019 and started in the baby room at this nursery in November 2019 at the age of 6.5 months old. As a first time mum , I am entirely comfortable with leaving my daughter in the care of the nurturing staff in the setting - the care from the staff in baby room is exceptional, she adores her key person and is always smiling on her arrival to nursery. At the same time as my daughter starting, the new manager joined the nursery and added wonderful changes to the nursery, we were offered a parents evening appointment which was very informative and gave us more of an insight as to our daughter's development at nursery, special occasions are celebrated throughout the nursery as a whole with all involved (we particularly enjoyed the dad's choir at Christmas). The nursery is a happy stimulating environment for the children and has a warm welcoming from everyone.”
