Excellent nursery, our daughter is in the preschool room. They provide a wide range of structured activities including phonics, so she will be very well-prepared for school. Can’t fault the place. The staff are all very dedicated and caring. Highly recommend.

We've had our daughter at Little Garden Nursery for 2 years now (started at 10 months old) and I couldn't rate this nursery highly enough. Our daughter has been able to develop and establish strong relationships with all the staff and kids in her class. The staff really care for each child and it's
been amazing to see her treated like family. She's absolutely flourished under their care and grown to be quite independent. The range of activities is always changing and there's no shortage of new things she comes home telling us about. The communication between management and parents is outstanding, especially during the pandemic. We've also been able to get to know the staff in each of her rooms as she's progressed and have always felt in-the-loop with how she's getting on. From the moment we drop her off, to the end of the day the entire team seems to have the highest energy levels which the children really feed off of. If there was a way to rate this better than 5 stars I would!

We have had two kids now attend Little Garden Nursery and I really cannot recommend it highly enough. I’ll talk about our youngest child as that’s more recent. He’s been in the baby room for over 6 months and the smiles on both his face and his key worker’s every morning say it all. He’s not just looked
after, he’s loved and really cared for. He does a range of different activities that I would never do at home with him and it has really aided his development. It’s not been easy for the nursery to negotiate the many different covid scenarios but they’ve done it very respectfully and carefully. Whenever we have any problems or concerns with our son, the nursery addresses them straight away. I recently had to go away at the very last minute for work and the nursery couldn’t have been more helpful, fitting him in for extra days at extremely late notice. No childcare in London is cheap but I don’t mind paying the money to the manager and team because of the fabulous service they provide.

We love this place. Our son joined this March in Toddler room later than we'd intended due to Covid, which then collided with the birth of our second son ... but despite our timing being less than perfect, the staff here were brilliant at quickly getting the measure of him and devoting their love and
attention to settle him in. We felt really well supported by his keyworker from the beginning and he's now loving Preschool and I get the sense that he sees the staff as his friends and allies! His confidence has grown tenfold since being here and it is so so nice to see, so we feel very grateful to the manager and her brilliant team and we are looking forward to sending our second little person too.

Fabulous nursery - our daughter has been here since she was 9 months (now 14 months) and she has the most wonderful time. My husband and I both work full time and were anxious about her spending five days at nursery but it couldn’t be better; the staff adore her and keep her so busy, and she has grown
so much in confidence and independence since joining. The babies spend lots of time outside in the garden, have heaps of activities to enjoy - such as yoga and Spanish music lessons, and the room even has a wooden slide/climbing apparatus and ball pit! We receive a daily report of her nap times/meals/nappies and activities which is very helpful and reassuring. Thank you team Kentish Town Day Nursery & Pre-school!

I had two daughters in this nursery and one has just gone to primary school. The preschool was very good at making sure that my daughter was prepared and ready for her new adventure and cannot thank them enough. My youngest is in the toddler room and she has come out of her shell so much since being
there. The staff in the room are amazing with her and she literally runs into the room every morning. I could not recommend this nursery more as it is so lovely and the staff are amazing.

A great place for my child to improve her social skills. The staff are great at making things easy to learn, whilst keeping it fun and creative which helps to keep her engaged. I was worried as my daughter came from another nursery but the staff were so welcoming that she ran in on her first day without
saying bye and cried when she had to leave. Her key person in Toddlers was amazing and my daughter talks about her all the time. She has now been in preschool for 1 week so it's hard to comment but she is definitely still very happy and I would unreservedly recommend the nursery.

Great nursery with a range of activities for the children including yoga, bilingual classes and painting. All records of the child’s activities, eg sleeping, eating, nappy change are conveniently tracked via an app that is updated daily. There’s a diverse and friendly team of carers who have a genuine

Our son started to go to Kentish Town Day Nursery when he was 8 months and loved it so much. We are moving out of London so cannot keep him at this nursery but are very sad to leave. The staff is incredibly kind and caring and our son loved going there from the beginning. He was always so excited to
see his key carer in the morning and will miss her a lot. He learned a lot from the other children and the activities offered by the nursery and seemed to have great fun there. I would definitely recommend this nursery and wish we could have the same where we go now! The management team is also amazing; the Nursery Manager is really good at communicating with parents, very involved with the children, and definitely passionate about what she does. Thank you so much to her and all the team!

Our little boy started nursery with about a week's notice (we were very lucky with our timing to avoid a waitlist I think!) as I had a last-minute job offer in December last year; he would have been about 15 months. He settled into the baby room really quickly having been very much a child of isolation
over lockdown - it was all very new and his key workers were so kind and patient settling him into his new environment. He now waits by the door in the morning as he's so excited to get down to see his friends and the staff, he squeals with delight as we walk out the front door - it really is so reassuring. And really, what more do you need than that as a parent to know that he is comfortable and happy and clearly having much more fun at nursery than home! We're so pleased with Little Garden and everyone that looks after our little man - thank you.

My son is 33 months. Choosing a good, trustworthy nursery is one of the challenges for parents because it’s the first step outside of the family but this nursery is one of my best choices. Whenever my son goes to the nursery, he is so happy and tells me that ‘I love nursery’. Staff are so attentive,
friendly and welcoming. Also, updates on what’s going on in the nursery are regular and clear communications. I’m so glad above that and appreciate their hardworking, especially in this pandemic. I highly recommend this nursery.

Our son started at Little Garden Kentish Town in Spring 2020. We are keyworkers and they rescued us from having no childcare at all! Despite the difficult times, our son has thrived there. He loves going to nursery so much; we have to be careful not to mention it too soon in the mornings! We get regular
updates from the nursery on his progress, including photos of the fun and messy play he gets up to. The manager has always been extremely responsive and approachable, and the staff are all fantastic. He recently moved from baby to toddler room, and we continue to be very satisfied with the wonderful care he receives.

My daughter thrived in the preschool, and her confidence grew immensely during her time at the setting. The staff were phenomenal and always made sure they met her needs. She is full of energy, and they knew how to ensure that she could develop and grow whilst keeping her active, stimulated and interested.
The garden was such a brilliant space for her, and she loved the outdoor times. By the time she left, she was so ready for school and so enthusiastic and keen to learn. I can't recommend the nursery enough!

Since the pandemic has started, they have put in place very strict rules in order to avoid/limit the spread of the virus, and we feel very confident when we drop the children at the nursery every day.

We started at Kentish Town Day nursery in October 2020 for my 18 month old daughter and have had a fabulous experience. My daughter was at a different nursery over the summer and she never quite settled. It was exactly the opposite here. She took to the staff and care very well and is happy and smiling
at drop-offs and pickups. I have found the staff and management great at communication and just very personalised and caring. They make a real effort with activities for the children and have also made an effort to get to know us as the parents. Would 100% recommend if you are considering for your child.

This nursery school is absolutely amazing! I was terrified of leaving my 14-month-old daughter the first week! She is now 18 months. I sat outside and cried as was so worried! Within a week to two, my daughter was kicking her legs with excitement as we reached the nursery school door every day.
She
has breakfast and lunch there and the staff are super kind and caring. My daughter is so happy and the management go above and beyond expectations really. It’s my first child and the staff have given me wonderful advice on training with my daughter from stopping breastfeeding to sleeping in her own bed and good ways to teach her learning opportunities. I would be lost without their support and care.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.850)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.850) out of 10 for Little Garden The Kentish Town Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.850 for Little Garden The Kentish Town Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (238 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 274 Ratings = 4.85

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Garden The Kentish Town Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 23 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 78 number of registered child places is 15.6, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.

We shared the same passion for teaching and I can’t imagine working for anybody else. When Lisa said she was coming to work for Little Garden Day Nurseries, I knew I wanted to work with her. I have been working at Kentish Town Day Nursery for 9 months and I absolutely love the atmosphere, the team and the children.

I started as a part-time nursery nurse and have worked my way up. I champion safeguarding, policies and procedures and will support anywhere I am needed with complete confidence. I’m excited about what I can bring to the role as a Deputy Manager and all its challenges.
