Stimulating education in South Croydon

“We cannot fault anything about this nursery. The members of staff are wonderful and have really gotten to know our little boy. They communicate with us every evening at pick up and tell us everything about his day, what they've done, what he has eaten, how much he has slept, his mood and his progress. We cannot believe how much he has come on since joining this nursery in September after stalling in his development at another place. The food offered is varied and my little boys eating has really improved too. The facilities are great and the children spend lots of time outside and even have PE classes. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone!”

“It's so amazing anyone to think its not good well they ain't seen nothing yet. I love Stagecoach its my life xxxxx”

“My two have been attending for a year and they love it. Plus they have been brought out of their shells and made lots of friends. The teachers are very friendly and nice and encouraging and the whole thing is at much higher standards then other drama school”

“My daughter has been going to this nursery now for coming on two years. I am so pleased with her progress, she is so far ahead. Her development is that of a child a year ahead. She is confident and so happy. The staff at the nursery have provided her with the best education, safeguarding and care. I could not ask for anything more. Especially during covid they have been so supportive and friendly whilst caring for my daughter. I am so pleased I choose Busy Bees Haling Park. I highly recommend it.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“From my point of view on Whitgift, it did seem to be fairly large and good, with new sports hall and labs and DT/IT stuffs. Teachers are really nice (but a few) and education is at a high standard. There is school tuck shop around the school ground, with direct payment in school canteen.”

“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.”

“I’m a staff member and a parent, (on maternity) the girls are lovely, I felt welcome when I had started, my child absolutely loves it here and I know she is well looked after when I’m not there, she has learnt so much, they do so much with the children, amazing activities and themes they celebrate regularly and she always brings home work to show me and her dad, the company is brilliant, and they are a credit to Play Place, 5 star ⭐️”

“Fantastic Nursery place with natural and forest School approach to learning”

“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”

“I have been working at Purley Oaks for over 10 years now as a class teacher , both in Year One and Reception. I can honestly say that I love it here. Everyone is so kind and welcoming . We all help each other out no matter what year group we are in or what job role we have - we are a great team! I was advised when I was an NQT to keep moving to different schools but I really don’t want to be anywhere else! In Reception we are a fantastic team and work very closely together. We have such fun and it is amazing to see the children progress throughout the year. I feel that in Early Years we give children a great start to their learning careers!”

“A great school that I attended 1960 - 1965. Teachers I remember Mr Rees, Mrs.fisher, Mrs. Coles all very strict but good.”

“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.”

“My son loves going to nursery and loves his nursery teachers at Little Learners!”

“Very good school principle very nice gives a good education for all kids”

“Both of my children have attended this nursery. Staff are kind, attentive and professional. My children have always come home happy and content from being there. They have been superb during the pandemic. They are flexible to our needs when possible and really go the extra mile to do things for the kids. Highly recommend.”

“My son is cherished and nurtured in this lovely school.”

“Excellent pre-school lots of activities and great staff”

“Excellent nursery. Staff are very caring, attentive and develop the children. The setting is also fantastic in the park. Highly recommend.”
