Top 30 Best Reliable childcare options in London

“I contacted Fiona at Harmony at Home when we were in a bind after our nanny was off with an injury during half term. I received a call back immediately, as well as clarity of solutions, pricing, etc. She offered me various nanny profiles, all of whom had great experiences and references. The nanny who came (Lorry) is simply exceptional! We are so pleased, and will definitely use Harmony at Home again.”

“We absolutely adore this nursery. Our daughter genuinely skips in every morning and has grown so much in confidence under their care. She was previously at another very big chain nursery in the area which had incredibly high staff turnover, and no one really seemed to ‘get’ her. It felt very anonymous. ABC is a world away from that. The kids play outside for hours everyday, and seem to be properly loved by the teachers who are just wonderful. Cannot recommend highly enough.”

“Very much love this nursery. Our daughter went there from when she was 13 month, till 2.4. Staff is very caring, my daughter would miss them. They provide daily reports, weekly reports. Management is really responsive.”

“Ive been using Jackie at Little Cherubs Childcare for 7 years now and then my second son joined her 3 years ago and my third child on the way will be joining her too. Jackie is a good honest person and is a great teacher to the children her childcare is outstanding. Her family is lovely and she cooks good healthy meals for my children. She does lots of activities and takes the children out on days out. I decided to go to a child minder rather than a nursery and i felt there are too many illnesses carried around between lots of children and its true as my children are hardly ever ill. She is flexible with hours alot more than a nursery. I like to know my individual childs needs are met and my kids get very excited when they go to her as she always have something planned. 100% recommended. Mr & Mrs England x”

“Very friendly and relaxed place. Toddler was happy and learned numbers and letters.”

“Everyone at the nursery treats your child as their own. Home meals cooked everyday & they even get the kids involved sometimes too. They check in with you on progress before & at the end of every session your child has & really prepares them for reception. My son is now exceeding in reception & I know its down to Tafii!”

“Our toy poodle starts pulling like a maniac when realising (hundreds of yards away) that we are bringing him to Cinzia – the best recommendation one can get. He simply loves her and his mates he is going to meet there. Cinzia is a highly trusted dog carer and we couldn’t do without her.”

“Amazing service through Night Nannies- head and shoulders the best agency I dealt with and Anastasia and Julie are lovely people. I was looking for a maternity nurse at short notice and they answered phone immediately and sent through some great options same day. Most of all I was impressed with how they handled a situation which didn't work out- the first nanny was a bit lazy and I gave this feedback. Night Nannies were absolutely brilliant and concerned for my experience and offered an incredible replacement. I now have someone totally fabulous who I, my dog and my one month old baby adore. I'm able to enjoy the experience of a newborn and get some rest- thanks so much Night Nannies xx”

“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!”

“Tree house is a really nice place where staff and other parents are friendly and supportive. It has really helped our family and I’m sure it will help many more”

“Nannie Annie’s is the best nursery I have ever seen. I was lucky to have the pleasure of sending both of my children here. they have by far exceeded my expectations and offer so much more than just a normal nursery. My children were nurtured in a very loving environment but at the same time, mastered independence. Each member of staff is first class, so attentive, keeping parents updated at every step of the way. The curriculum would rival most schools and you can tell that Nannie Annie’s ethos is about raising each child individually. the celebrations, themes and resources are outstanding and I truly believe that my children will thrive after having the best start within this nursery. Would highly recommend! Outstanding!”

“I have to admit that we've not yet taken the ski holiday, which might render this review premature at best. However, I have found the responsiveness, thoughtfulness, patience and professionalism of the Ski Line rep Elaine so exceptional, I had to mention it here. Even if we don't end up taking the holiday due to Covid or quarantine or whatever, Elaine has been fantastic. A great asset to this company; I hope all the reps are as terrific as her.”

“A fantastic nursery. My son has been there from the age of 1 - 4 and enjoyed himself all the way through.”

“My child has attended the nursery for two years and he has truly blossomed during his time there. Everything from the social skills to his vocabulary have improved dramatically over the years. The staff are dedicated, warm and caring and welcoming to both parents and children. I can't praise all the ladies enough for all their work at the nursery! My son loves going to the nursery and that’s what very important for me as a parent.”
