Preschooler activities in London

“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 :)”

“Truly an amazing place to send you child to, mine had the best time ever since she joined and their learning standards, the commitment of teachers towards children is amazing. Have recommended quite a few friends and all are happy to be associated with them.”

“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!”

“We couldn’t recommend enough! Our 2 girls are super happy! Excellent nursery from A to Z, the staff is amazing, super caring and always available to help and support the children development with a tailored approach. They always take the children out organising exciting activities and going extra mile (Library, Museum and local markets, Trip on the Uber Boat!). A big thank you to Little Cubs!”

“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)”

“I recommend, the staff is very friendly and always helps. My child feels very well there.”

“The nursery who made my daughter feel safe and happy! My heart was fulfilled when my daughter used to come home so joyful and with drawings in the bag or all around with glitter. We really liked the staff, such a friendly one. Also thumbs up for the management, first one to not have issues with. Grateful that our daughter could take part of this nursery, changed only because we moved to another area, if we wouldn’t, she would definitely still be there playing with her friends! Highly recommending this nursery!”

“Almost a year that my little girl is attending this nursery on a full time basis and I am happy to see her progress!!! She loves the nursery and all the staff there!!! She goes in with pleasure- made little friends there ! I can say that the nursery grows with it's children! They are ready to listen to any request/ feedback or complaint! Really like their professional and friendly attitude regarding the children! All the staff knows all the children's names- they always have something nice to say to them! They encourage children to be independent to learn and develop into little people meanwhile respecting every child's own special way! I can only recommend the nursery! Really really happy with them and the most important: i TRUST my biggest treasure to the and they never let me down!”

“Our son adored his 3 1/2 years at this nursery! The staff are all brilliant, and it is smoothly run by Yvette and Chris who really put heart into this nursery. We will miss everyone who works there now our son has started school!”

“Sarah looked after my first son at preschool 14 years ago, so, when I had to decide where to send my youngest son to preschool, I didn't hesitate - I knew that she and her team would be absolutely right to look after him. My son started in September 2019, aged two and four months, and settled in incredibly quickly, thanks in no small part to Active Early Years Academy's child-centred approach. They really do care, they take the time to get to know your child, to encourage them, but at the same time, to let them go at their own pace. We were so upset when his time was cut short there due to Covid-19. He often talks about preschool still, his friends there, the activities they did. I am forever grateful that he had such a lovely start to school and I feel sure it will stand him in good stead in the future. I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah and all at Active Early Years Academy.”

“Only our first week, and very happy, our son just wants to stay and play when I pick him up! The teachers have fed back everything he's been doing and there has already been lots of lovely creative/learning evidence! From baked goodies and art to new letters and words learnt!”

“A lovely village preschool, open term time on weekday mornings 9.15 to 12.15. my daughter has attended since April 2016 and is very happy there.”

“As proud supplier of the meals to Two Hands Preschool we have been lucky enough to work with Joanna and her fantastic team from nearly the very beginning (kitchen design) through to children eating their first meals. At all times Joanna and the Team have placed the child's needs first and their passion shows in every choice they have made.”

“Hi my name is Katharina, I am a university student studying early childhood education and part of my study is to do some work experience in an educational setting. I chose to work at the Monkey puzzle Nursery in Sheen because it’s close to my university, safe, it’s a nice area, a small nursery too that has every age group and the team that works there is super friendly and makes you feel like you are part of their little family.”

“My daughter goes to Acacia Preschool and she absolutely loves it. The staff is brilliant and very caring. It’s the best nursery in New Malden! I highly recommend it to anyone!!!”

“Lovely place, amazing atmosphere, happy place for happy children ❤️”

“Both our children have gone through Butterfly. A really fantastic experience for them both. There is a wonderful variety of activities and both children have been wonderfully prepared for school both from a core reading/writing skills but more importantly how confident and independent they both became under the care of Butterfly. The staff are awesome and very adaptive to individual needs.”

“Newly renovated nursery with great staff who have helped our daughter settle in well”

“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.”

“Wonderful caring staff. My child looks forward to going everyday.”

“The staff is lovely and it truly is a second home for our daughter. Very professional staff and they take great care of the children too. Our daughter loves it .”

“My son has attended Little Birches West Wickham for over a year now. I can highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for the best possible place. Ultimately, I wanted my child to be happy and he really is, he walks in most days and doesn’t stop to look back - that is because he is comfortable and feels safe in this environment. The hard-working staff all know my son and my son knows them all. They have created a nurturing environment, where he is invited to play, explore, be curious, respect others and learn life skills. If you haven’t already, it’s worth a visit as we were blown away by the different indoor and outdoor learning spaces, each decorated and resourced in an eco-friendly way, not to mention the forest school in the surrounding woods. My son has formed the most wonderful friendships already, and we are regularly updated with photos and comments about his progress via Tapestry and at the gate. We feel very much a part of the LB family and are incredibly lucky to have our son attend here.”

“My DS went to Zikora at 13 months and stayed there until 2.7 yo, when we moved out of London. I am very grateful for the care he received there. He has learned how to count, recite the alphabet, and sing many songs. In the nursery children learn to plant flowers and vegetables, then see them grow and sometimes make a dinner from them! It’s amazing! I don’t know any nursery in East London which does this. My son comes from the nursery and starts to take off and put on his shoes and coat by himself! The manager Mohammed is very dedicated and strives to provide new interesting and educational activities such as pottery and wood work. The staff who looks after kids are fantastic and very supportive. They suggested for a long time I start to potty train DS, which I had thought him too young for, but thankfully I took their advise and with their support he is now fully trained (except for his nightly sleep). I would definitely recommend Zikora Day Nursery to everyone who wants good care and great development for their child while they work.”

“Absolutely wonderful nursery. Management and care staff always go above and beyond. Absolutely beautiful building aswell. Thanks again to the Monkey Puzzle Woodford team!”

“Found this Gem on a childcare app. As a new establishment and a new mum, you put all your faith and trust into the teachers caring for your children, with no more than your own judgements to go by... Hense im writing this review. My son is A lockdown baby, his start in life was limited, and in turn struggles with some interactions. I took him in to meet Elaine for about an hour and a half and i sat back and watched. I was instantly comforted, reassured, and completely at ease with her and the girls, and so was he, I was soooo impressed with how hands on and caring they are. The space is fun, safe, clean and spacious. The kids absolutely adore the staff. The activities are interactive, enjoyable and educational. I can honestly say after the second day I took him, i left with confidence, that he was completely in safe hands. I am sooo greatful to have found this preschool. I cant thank them enough for what theyve already done!! They know what theyre doing, theyre so kind and caring, very thorough and will of course accomodate to your needs. My Boy is absolutely thriving. Thank you sooo much.”

“A wonderful place for children to learn. The staff are very professional and friendly. Generally, the atmosphere is conducive for child development. I would definitely recommend.”

“KidsLab is such a lovely nursery with a great personal experience. I still remember how Avyaan developed from being shy in the beginning to a confident and caring child. He has spent 18 to 19 months at Kidslab full time and we loved every moment of it. The staff is so responsible and helpful and it felt that its like an extended family where Avyaan is spending his weekdays.”
