Top 30 Best Young child education in London

“My son has been at this nursery for almost 2 years and he loves it here. The teachers are all amazing - very caring and engaging and have really helped my son develop. The activities are very well thought out and the organic food is very good. He eats a four course meal every lunch!”

“My girls have been attending P2L since they were 8months old, as a parent it is difficult leaving your babies in someone else's care for 10hrs a day however they are now 3.5yrs old and love every single minute of being at the Nursery. The things P2L have taught them are incredible, their speech is very advanced for their age, they come home and shock us constantly with what they have learnt that day. My girls have loved every single room leader/helper they have had. Each worker has made it so easy and comfortable for us as a parent. The caring aspect is second to none. The communication between Management, Staff and Parent is exceptional. My girls have been in 4 different rooms (Baby room up to Pre-School) and I can honestly say I do not want them to leave when the time comes next year.”

“We discovered Reflect Productions at the start of the first lockdown. To say that these lessons, as well as the martial arts sister school, we’re the foundations of sanity and joy during those times is an understatement! In less than two years, peppered with lockdowns, isolation and reunions, we have seen the children deliver incredible performances, build beautiful friendship, learn excellent, core transferable skills and distinctions in two sets of LAMDA exams! No other school has managed a smidge of this during this time. Where others have used covid as an excuse for stepping back, Kirsty and her team have stepped up their game to deliver even more magic to children desperately in need of it and parents aching for something wonderful in times they’ve not been able to provide it. I teach teachers at UCL. If one in every hundred became as dedicated and thoughtful and committed and kind to their students as every one of the teachers are in this performing arts school, I’d be besides myself with gladness! As for my daughters opinion “if I had to skip every class I have and playtimes, I would to be able to carry on doing my performing arts classes”.”

“My son goes to school there, it's for children with learning difficulties. The teachers are warm and welcoming and he loves it there.”

“Great staff! They are super friendly. There are loads of activities for the kids and the rooms are well equipped.”

“Story time session for toddlers on Mondays is excellent.”

“Our both daughters used to go to Les Trois Oursons in 2016-2017. Elena in the Lions room and Sofia in the bunnies room. We cannot recommend the nursery highly enough and we would have definitely continued the next year if we have not moved back to France. For us it was more than a simple nursery. It was like being the part of a family. It is also where I have discovered Montessori methodology. Elena was very shy when she started going at Les Trois Oursons and in the end she was full of confidence, made lots of friends and started talking a lot, both in English and in French. It was also great experience for our little baby Sofia who started the nursery at 10 months. Just a few days to adapt and then she was enjoying every single day there. We would like to say a BIG thank you to the whole team: Regina, Marie-Catherine, Pippa, Anabelle, Maya, Hend, Laure, George. Thank you for everything you have done for Elena and Sofia. Many hugs from Paris :) Tamar & Olivier”

“We hired the event space upstairs for a child’s birthday. We loved the modern clean space and helpful support from Miriam at the nursery. It worked really well for our medium size party and it was easy to clean at the end.”

“My son has greatly enjoyed his time at Ely Nursery. The staff are super caring and lovely. The management actually care and go over and above to ensure that they help families. I highly recommend this Nursery for anyone looking for a home away from home environment for their little one.”

“We are fortunate enough for our daughter to attend Boys and Girls in Rickmansworth and can’t recommend it enough for any local family. At drop-off I always leave reassured that my daughter is in a warm, family-like atmosphere, where she is being well cared for whilst developing. My daughter started when she turned 1 in the Baby room. I have found every member of the Baby room to be really professional and experienced in early childhood development. They have cared so deeply for her and have really take the time to tailor things to her needs to ensure that she was being exposed to things in the best way for her. It was this degree of attention and care that we found to be unique and truly world class in terms of childcare. In the time she has been there she truly has flourished and formed such amazing close bonds with her careers. The facilities are great, they are clean and well planned for the children to get the most out of their time there; the newly developed outside space makes it extra special. As my daughter transitions to the pre-toddler room I have no fear; as I know such a great team will be awaiting to care for her; managed by a fabulous management team.”

“Eastbury farm school is a place where my 3 children feel safe. It's a place where the teaching is second to none. The dedication of the new head Miss Workman and her leadership team is refreshing and I can only see things improving here. The recent results are proof of that. I love the school and everything about it, from the well mannered children to the lovely playground atmosphere. Not to mention the fabulous fundraisers! Don't let the Ofsted report put you off. Come and see the school and speak to the staff parents and children and then make your choice. It will be well worth it.”

“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!”

“My daughter develops incredibly in Busy Bees in Cheam Park. The staff are so nice and helpful at every step of our journey and the setting is beautiful and stimulating. We have been going there for 3 years now and I highly recommend it to my friends.”

“Our son attended nursery here from 14 months old until last month and I can only have words of gratitude for the team. Always very caring with him, keeping us involved, sharing the activities he attended and a detailed journey of his progress. The staff is always approachable and open for conversation. The facilities at both miniMelrose and main Melrose are very clean, tidy and well equipped, and the outdoor space, including the constant use of the local park is just perfect! Will definitely recommend :)”

“Wonderful environment to improve the creativity and extra activities of children as well as their educational ability. I would recommend it to the parents.”

“My sons loved it at Playdays (Barons Court branch) and we have known the staff for over 5 years now. My kids started in the baby room and graduated from pre-school to leave for formal school. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone without hesitation. It is a happy nursery with excellent, professional and caring staff.”

“Little Acorns is a fantastic nursery. My daughter was here from when she turned 1 to 3.5 years old. She had a lovely time with all the minders in the different age groups. She has learnt so much, and I can definitely see the impact made by the efforts of the lovely team at Little Acorns. Special mention must be made of the management team as well, who are always easy to contact. I particularly appreciated the effort made by the staff to keep the morale going during the uncertain times of the first Covid lockdown, with frequent zoom calls, story videos, etc. Overall, a great experience. I highly recommend Little Acorns nursery.”

“Bright Little Stars Stanmore is a perfect choice for the nursery for our daughter. She's absolutely loving it there. Always so happy to leave home, knowing she's going to be playing with her favourite teacher, Vilas. Also, many, many thanks to the Chef, Joanna, who found time to help my baby to settle in the thirst weeks. The level of care and education is exceptional, by far has exceeded our expectations. We could not have chosen a better place for our little star! Thank you to everyone at BLS!”

“Highly recommend this magical and loving place. Playdays is wonderful - it's a loving, warm, caring, nurturing and fun nursery. Both our children went there, and both have nothing but happy memories. Our son is just finishing up (ready for big school) after 3 great years, starting in the baby room at the age of 1. The teachers are warm, attentive and obviously care about the kids and their well being. They know the children so well! The manager, Miss Sarah, is friendly, professional and a great communicator. She has been there many years and seen us through both our children growing up in Playdays, and it's thanks I'm sure to her attention to detail and staff happiness (the turn over is really low!) the place is so magical. There are lots of great activities like baby yoga, swimming, french, dance etc. In fact, I'm really teary our time is at an end - but all children must move on to big school eventually!”

“Amazing Nursery! My son started to attend Base Zero from 10 months old and as a first time mum with a lockdown baby I was very nervous at first but the staff helped him settle in really well and he’s enjoyed attending ever since. He has developed so much since attending and takes part in loads of different activities every day. The staff are all lovely and always happy, I knew from the first time I came to view the nursery it was the perfect place for my son and I was right. Would highly recommend !”

“A very nice little children centre with very friendly staff and a lot of activity and courses for parents with small children.”

“Well thought out, changing things to do all the time. Brilliant”

“I had my son's 4th birthday party at the Sevenoaks Branch. We had a brilliant time and the staff were so helpful in making sure the party went smoothly. It was all set up when we arrived and they were great in making sure the table was ready with lunch on at the right time and they made sure the cake was cut and ready to hand out for us at the end. I'd highly recommend using them for a party. The kids had a fab time and by the time the party ended I was still feeling calm and stress free!”

“Great fun for the kids, loved by my 5 and 1 year old. Lots of different things to do, but spare a thought for the poor people who have to square everything away after each session!!!”

“Great place for toddlers up 5. Lots of activities, very friendly.”

“Lovely staff, welcoming and helpful. Good quality activities”

“Amazing and unique experience today. Greeted with hot chocolate and mulled wine, Santa's sleigh, a movie about Christmas in Ghana, drumming session, Mrs Claus kitchen, face painting and then santa himself. It's local and convenient. Will come again next year”

“Dawny's are amazing! I can’t recommend them enough. From the very 1st settle they have made us feel very welcome and my little girl settled into nursery so quickly with a smile at the end of most days which was absolutely down to the care, attention and focus on her. Every morning and evening you are greeted with smiling faces and they really do seem to love their jobs.”

“This is excellent place to work in.Charlotte and charanjit is very supportive. Always help me to help the children for their progression and care. All the staff members are very helpful and friendly.This is a very friendly community setting. Everyone respects each others and their beliefs and cultures.”

“Very pleased so far with Little Learners Montessori. Our toddler is happy to go in the mornings, and comes out full of beans with plenty to tell us. The carers all seem lovely and dependable and we were impressed by the tour of the nursery. Lots of communication and regular photos/updates over the Famly app, too, which is important to us. Overall very satisfied.”
