  • Coin Street Nursery, London
Based in the Coin Street neighbourhood centre, minutes from Waterloo station, Coin Street’s 84-place day nursery and specialist baby care unit provides high quality, affordable childcare for children from 6 months to 5 years. The nursery’s highly qualified team has an informed educational philosophy that ensures every child develops at their own pace.

The practitioners choose activities to extend each child’s learning and development process and to broaden horizons. Their diverse backgrounds are celebrated and reflected in the activities they choose.

Coin Street nursery recognises that each child’s learning process is unique, therefore they support the natural disposition of each child to explore, investigate and discover the things that interest them and celebrate their achievements in portfolios.

The nursery has interactive areas for activities. A safe outside play area allows children to explore and enjoy their environment, while the Family Room offers privacy for parents. Children are taken on educational places of interest.

Recent trips include:

•        Weekly dance sessions at Rambert
•        Weekly football sessions at Colombo Community Centre
•        China Town to celebrate Chinese New Year
•        Tate Modern
•        British Transport Museum
•        London City Farm
•        Forrest School.

The staff develop strong partnerships with parents and offer sensitive support during the settling-in process and ongoing contact through a key nursery worker.

Their sessions include at least two meals and snacks, all included in the fees and meals are prepared daily by an on-site chef, advised by a dietitian. They were shortlisted for the food award in the Nursery World Awards 2017 for their approach to healthy eating.

The nursery is part of Coin Street’s Ofsted Outstanding Family and Children’s centre. This is often a benefit to parents as they offer free programmes to help support your child and you along the way.

My son had a wonderful time at Coin Street Nursery! He was there only for 5 months, from 14 to 18 months old, but it was a very important and formative experience for him, being his first time in a nursery (we left because we are moving). My son settled in easily thanks to the care and warmth and thoughtfulness
of his key person and soon began to be comfortable with all the other practitioners of the Explorers Room. He loved socialising with the other babies and by the time he left he knew most of them by name. As parents, we were very positively impressed with the 1-to-1 care that the practitioners have for every single child, and with the many thoughtful verbal and written observations that they offered. We loved the variety of experiences and creative activities that they created for the children: from painting to building, to caring for plants, to seeing little ducklings hatch from the eggs and grow - What unique memories of his time at Coin Street nursery!

Reply from Angelica Brown, Early Years Manager ' Explorers Room at Coin Street Nursery

Thank you for your wonderful review of the care we provided for your son. We certainly enjoyed our time with him, seeing him develop from 14 months to now has been amazing. The key person and the rest of us will certainly miss him. It was also lovely getting to know you both as parents and we valued your support with his settling in and your partnership with the key person and the rest of the team. We wish you all the best with your move and please don’t hesitate to visit us at any time you are nearby.
Regards, Angelica Brown.

My baby went to the nursery as I was studying in King’s College nearby. The staff were always greeting us with a smile and my little boy learned so much! At only two and a half, he learned the different shapes, singing all the alphabet and to count to ten with lots and lots of vocabulary to express
himself! He bonded nicely with his key person but also with all other members of staff and he now teaches me all the nursery rhythms he learned there.

Reply from Marie Kapszewicz at Coin Street Nursery

Thank you Zineb - it was great to see your son's progress. Best wishes from everyone here at Coin Street Nursery.

Coin Street staff are brilliant. That, the open, welcoming environment, good quality and variety of toys and activities made this our first choice and they haven't disappointed. Yes, it's not perfect, and I don't agree with having any screen (they have one large one they use for programmes), but both
our children have always felt safe, secure and, I think, loved here, which is most important to us. Their child-led planning and facilitation lets the children get on with the important business of learning through whatever play they are most interested in.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Coin Street.

Our little boy loves his time at Coin Street - it's a beautifully light, clean nursery with lots of space (indoors and out). The staff are so caring and the kids all seem to have great fun! There's messy play, a lovely safe outdoors space and cosy reading corners. The food is delicious and home cooked
on site. The management team are communicative and really welcoming - our little boy is flourishing there, I highly recommend it.

Reply from Kathryn Yiannadji at Coin Street Nursery

Thank you for your kind words - we're delighted to hear that your child is flourishing with us.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.025)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.025) out of 10 for Coin Street Nursery 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 7 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 4.732 for Coin Street Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (70 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 82 Ratings = 4.732

  • 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 4.293 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Coin Street Nursery is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 59 number of registered child places is 11.8. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.8 = 0.593

  • 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.
