My little boy has been going to Little Garden for 3m now (he's just over 1) I must say the staff are fantastic. We narrowed the choice of nursery down to 2-3 given location but opted for Little Garden because it felt more of a local nursery than one from a major company. He was a little apprehensive
of leaving us at first but has settled down really well. The staff give great feedback, we get daily reports and photos and also he seems to love the food there! They have a great outdoor space and a lovely area inside he seems to be making great friends.

My son has been attending since he was 1 year old and is now 3 years old. One of the reasons we have stayed living in the area is because of how amazing this nursery is. The staff all go beyond expectations to deliver a fantastic experience for our son. They communicate well with parents, provide a
varied and healthy menu and genuinely care about each child individually.
They use an app to provide regular updates and welcome updates from home-based activities too. They actively encourage children to learn and to reach milestones. Activities are always varied, stimulating and fun. We are so happy we found this nursery!

My daughter has attended Little Gardens since September 2020. I myself work in a nursery and being on the other side is very different. I was very impressed with the settling in period, I was given full information about how my daughter got on when collecting her.
The staff are very caring and are
always there to talk to if needed! I enjoy reading her daily feedback and smile when I see pictures attached too!
The communication between management and parents is excellent including memos, ideas for activities at home and monthly newsletters.
They have handled 2020 extremely well and all children seem happy! The staff are always smiling!!

I would like to acknowledge the support and care which our little one receives at Little Garden Nursery. The staff understand and address our child’s needs so that the time spent there each week delivers the maximum benefit and, importantly, the maximum enjoyment. Every morning as we head off, the
is so much eagerness and excitement, with lots of joy and affection for all the carers.
I know and feel that if a problem arose, the team would try to address it swiftly. I feel that they have my child’s progress and wellbeing always in mind – thank you all!
The chef is also worthy of praise, for the varied and attractive menus which he rolls out each week – thank you, chef, for such interesting meals!

My son started Clapham Day Nursery when he was 6 months old and is still currently attending (aged 2.5 now).
My son's keyworker and buddy are complete assets to the nursery, they are such wonderful, hardworking and caring people and my son adored them.
He has now moved up a class and again the staff
at Clapham Day Nursery are the most caring and kind and have your child's best interests at heart always!
I would highly recommend this nursery if you are looking for a family community, a nursery that pays attention in detail to your child's development, nutrition and their overall wellbeing.
I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful journey my son has been on with Clapham Day Nursery and I am excited to see more.
Thank you so much!

Since my child started at the nursery in September 2020, we have seen him come on leaps and bounds in his personal development and his character blossom.

My daughter attended Little Garden from Feb 2018 - July 2020. I have always been very happy with the care and support my daughter received. The management and staff are all lovely and welcoming. Being a single parent with all of my family living overseas, Little Garden has been my only support network
and I have to say I feel a bit lost now without Little Garden. Unfortunately, I had to move my daughter to a different nursery due to moving house. Compared to our now new nursery, Little Garden is an absolutely fantastic and outstanding childcare provider.

It’s been about 6 months since the new management started and I am so happy with the changes. The rooms feel calm and organised and there has been a real focus on the children. The staff are amazing and kind and caring and this being my second child there we have formed strong bonds with those staff
that have been there for both children. My eldest has settled into reception brilliantly and I have the great preparation from the preschool team to thank for that. We are very happy here.

My child has attended the nursery from Sep 2017 to Aug 2018. New in London, he naturally expressed shyness and lack of confidence at the beginning of the term. The team has supported him in an extremely gentle way, creating confidence and building the right environment for him to learn English, gain
confidence and make new friendships. This was done by continuous dialogue with his needs and amendment of the curricula around the kids' interests, incl. letting the kids choose the weekly topic (monsters, space, etc), indoor activities, outdoor activities and more. A new manager joined around May and a couple of changes to the key workers have resulted in even better order and improvements to the daily routines.

My son has been going to the nursery for the last four months. He's in the toddler room and he loves every second that he's there, even when he's not there, he asks to go. The manager is very, very good and he keeps his staff on their toes, making sure they are all doing their jobs properly. He's also
very easy to speak to and has a good sense of humour. The staff are welcoming and really care for the children. I recommend this nursery to everyone.

We visited many nurseries, and are quite happy we picked this one for our 11-month old, though it isn't that close to home for us.


Management and staff are very warm, welcoming and knowledgeable, You can tell they really care. Baby settled very easily, and we even learned some useful tricks to make

life easier at home.


Very nice facilities, great toys and activities, smart nutrition, and flexible enough to accommodate our non-standard fluctuating schedules. We also really like the diversity of languages among babies and staff.


Cost isn't ridiculous, but a bit higher than other places. You get what you pay for though.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.222)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.222) out of 10 for Little Garden The Clapham Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.694 for Little Garden The Clapham Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (26 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.694

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 3.528 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Garden The Clapham Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.25

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 54 number of registered child places is 10.8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.8 = 0.278

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Lyn Barallonn-Hibbert

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2017

My journey with Little Garden Day Nurseries started in August 2017 at our wonderful Brentford Day Nursery and Pre-school, as Deputy Manager. In my first managerial position, I have had the privilege of working with some outstanding managers at my previous nursery, I feel I was prepared and structured to take this challenge and still striving to be.


Since I was a little girl I had always wanted to be a teacher, I used to love playing role-play with my cousins back home in the Seychelles (where I grew up). My inspiration also comes from my older sister who is a Montessori teacher currently working in Italy.


I have over 15 years’ experience within the childcare sector and I have loved every minute of my job whatever role I have embarked on. When Little Garden changed ownership in 2019, I met Andy Morris and his wonderful team. From then on, I have learned the phrase ‘Every day is a school day’ - although we are teaching the children, the children also have an impact on us. We all learn something new every day. I must say this is one phrase I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
At the beginning of this year, the whole world began battling COVID-19. At Little Garden, we went from being a team to a family. We strive to keep everyone safe and our mission remains the same, we work tirelessly to ensure everyone in our care is kept safe, and their well-being and safety are met and as part of this, I was transferred to be the Clapham Manager.

My journey in childcare started in 2014, I had progressed to preschool room leader, during this time I developed my management skills and knowledge. In 2020 I was thankful that an opportunity opened for the Deputy Manager position, to which I was successful.


I am passionate about my role within the nursery, and it is amazing working with such a fantastic team. I am excited to move the nursery forward and work alongside a manager that strives for outstanding.
