Marsham Street has provided childcare to my daughter from 6months+. Given her young age when starting it was a little concerning to leave my child who couldn't yet walk or even role over into the care of a third person. Marsham street staff were great and a real credit to the nursery, from the initial
settling in process through to daily check-in and updates. The team provide superb care and it wasn't long before my daughter was keen to be getting in every morning for another creative day of play and learning. The team work hard to provide a great social environment for the children and I'm without doubt that our daughter has benefited significantly from attendance at the nursery. The food menu looks great and on some days I'm jealous of my daughters lunch in comparison to my own. Parents are encouraged to join events through the year to see their child in their learning environment and courses are run to help support home learning (free of charge).

My 18 month old daughter goes to this nursery. I found this nursery is the best one around. I use to send my elder daughter to a nursery which was a big brand name but the personal touch my younger daughter get here it is far different. All the staff are really friendly and they enjoy working there.
Kids looks like they want to stay in nursery for 24/7 and all are cheering.

They are good and the facilities can improve or be renewed. The toddler's section needs to be more tidy and clean especially that there was a problem that was causing a bad smell. The carpets, toys and other things need to be replaced. The nursery should be a place that is colourful, clean, bright and
everything easy to clean (not smelly)!
But overall the staff and management are very good and I am happy with how they deal with parents concerns.

My son has been attending the Marsham Street Community Nursery since mid-2016 and we are happy. There have been a few staff changes over the past year or so and it has been for the good. A variety of activities/interesting events such as a trip to a recycling centre or a farm. From this year, a new
manager has introduced new fun activities such as ‘dressing up like my favourite book character’ or ‘PJ day’, etc.

Our daughter joined the nursery as she was 3 months old and adaption went smoothly from the very first moment. We were impressed by how the staff managed to include her in all activities despite her very young age. The blend of activities is very impressive and our child learns a lot (language, stories,
songs, and behaviour). She loves the nursery and the staff and asks also on weekends if she can attend nursery!!

Marsham Street is an absolutely fantastic place for children! It is warm, cosy and safe. My daughter is two and a half years old and has been going to Marsham Street for 6 months now, and my husband and I are very happy with the care and attention she receives. The staff are extremely committed and
make every effort to ensure that the children are happy, safe and indeed having a good time. My daughter settled in quickly and looks forward to going to nursery every day!

My son is in his final few months at Marsham Street Community Nursery and during his time (18 months), has transformed into a confident, toddler who is ready for reception.


My son's primary carers at school have been fantastic, consistently challenging him in a structured way that has helped him

grow into a happy toddler who is keen to take on new challenges and learn.


I would happily recommend the school to any prospective parent.

The staff at LEYF Marsham Street are fabulous! They are so kind and caring; they patiently helped my ten month old son settle in and now he really enjoys going to nursery.
A very special thank you to all the lovely people in the ground floor baby room. Thank you so much for taking such good care of
my little one!

My son is very fortunate to attend Marsham Street Community Nursery! Since he joined the nursery, my son has grown leaps and bounds in communication, learning, moral values and overall development. He absolutely loves his school and the caregivers. I can't thank them enough for taking great care of
my son.
As a working parent, it gives me a great peace of mind to know that my son is in a safe pair of hands, while I'm at work.

My son is very happy at this nursery. The staff take very good care of the children. On the whole, I think the nursery is very good. To make things better, there could be more challenging activities for the toddlers such as puzzles. There could also be vocabulary building activities. The meals are alright
but there could be more variety.

Staff are extremely helpful and caring towards children, however, I would love for my child to leave nursery as clean as they arrived. I wish they would have uniforms instead of their own clothes, as nursery prices are really high.

Marsham Street Nursery does an amazing job with the children.
They are caring and encouraging. Children seem to love the nursery and be very inspired by the staff. And they are always trying to improve their standards and offer new activities to the children.
My daughter couldn’t be in better hands.

The nursery environment, ambience, setup and staff are very encouraging to a developing and young creative mind. Staff are approachable and friendly, it is a safe and clean school with well thought out facilities. My child is happier to come to school here at Marsham and can be visibly seen interacting
with everyone. I cannot recommend the school and staff highly enough.

Last August bank holiday (2017), my child (then aged 2 years + 5 months) got very upset about nursery being closed for the day. I had planned a special day out for us and he didn't want to know! That's when I realised how happy he is at Marsham Street. Since then, he has developed strong friendships
with his peers and it's clear he has a few favourite members of staff. I value this because part of the reason we have put him in a nursery rather than another form of childcare is I want him to get a lot of socialisation. My child is happy to see us when we pick him up but there are no tears at drop-off in the mornings. The food is nutritious, the menus are well designed and he gets time to play outside as well as rest. The programme of field trips for the pre-schoolers is developing well. Sometimes he surprises me with things he's learned at nursery; singing songs I don't necessarily know or using a mnemonic I've not heard. I am sure he will be well prepared to start school next year.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.891)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.891) out of 10 for Marsham Street 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.891 for Marsham Street Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (173 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.891

  • 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 Marsham Street Nursery & Pre-School is based on 16 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8, which has been reached with 16 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.
