My son started when he was 11 months and he settled in very quickly. The staff were very happy and enthusiastic, he has always been happy to go off with the staff in the morning. He is now in the toddler and preschool room and he gets excited when told he is going to nursery. He always comes home with
evidence that he has had a fun day and he loves going on the outings that they do daily. I am truly grateful for the care and love they show my son on a day-to-day basis, it makes it easier to go to work and have a good day knowing he is comfortable and loved within the nursery. From the management to the staff, it is a very lovely environment, I would truly recommend to all!

We absolutely love Brixton Nursery. Our son has been attending from 13 months, and he loves it! The staff are brilliant, and they do so many fun activities, including trips to the park, indoor play areas and the local market! The nursery has such a lovely feel to it, which is down to the staff’s genuine
enthusiasm, and they clearly truly care about all the children - we couldn’t be happier.

This was our top choice of nursery, and we were very pleased to secure a place for our 1-year-old. The staff are very friendly and helpful and work hard to make it a warm environment for the children under their care.
While there is a relative lack of outdoor space given the location (hugely convenient,
next to the tube station), the staff ensures the children take trips out to playgrounds, the library, the indoor play centre, and other facilities, which is more stimulating and enjoyable for the children anyway.
We are delighted our now nearly two-year-old will continue at this nursery.

My son has been attending the nursery for 7 months now and he is progressing well for his age. His communication is coming along nicely and he uses signs at home when he communicates with me to.


My son is allowed to go into the toddler room which is great as this will allow his settling-in period

to be smooth rubbing.

Fantastic nursery. It's a shame that the rec centre no longer allows proper access to the balcony for outdoor time, but I don't think the nursery is to blame. Apart from that, everything is great. The staff are all particularly wonderful.

Our two children attended Brixton LEYF Nursery at the early ages of 1 year old and right up to graduation day, before they headed off to primary school. Our son now 8 years old has great fond memories of nursery and the great bonds he made with his teachers and friends, which he's still in contact with.
Likewise, our daughter, now 4 years old and has recently graduated this summer 2022 and is in primary school reception. She's had a fantastic happy, learning and playing experience at Brixton LEYF nursery and made great friends along the way. They both have been thriving ever since and that's thanks to all the nurture, dedication, interest in their wellbeing and warmth they received from all their teachers, including managers and chefs, over the years. As new parents, we took the chance and gut feeling with Brixton LEYF nursery and we are ever so grateful and satisfied with our children's well-being and enthusiasm for learning - especially in a happy environment. Brixton LEYF is just fantastic!

I have had 3 children at nursery. Ages now 14, 5 and 3. Staff are still present who looked after my 14 yr old. I love this nursery. It is very warm, cosy and welcoming. My children have entered reception being quite advanced. The children have always been happy to go to nursery and never want to leave.
My 3 yr old is now on holiday and he can't wait to go back.

My son has grown up at Little Angels Nursery School, starting off in the baby room, all the way to the pre-school. The staff are very loving, kind and considerate and have taught my son very well. I have been most impressed with the fact that at age 3, he is counting up to 50, knows all of his colours,
shapes, can spell his name and is able to identify letters and numerals.
I (and my son) will be very, very sad the day he has to leave later this year.
Keep up the good work.

We are so happy to see our son thrive at Brixton nursery! He’s been attending for several months now and it’s a joy to see his smile as he enters the nursery room every day. In a short amount of time, we’ve seen him develop in an amazing way. He is so happy, he loves the teachers who take such good
care of him! All staff are always very friendly, happy to share what the kids have done and how they’re evolving. We’re very happy with the choice of nursery for sure!

My son has attended Brixton Leyf Nursery since he was one and now, two years later, he still runs into nursery with glee every day without fail. The Brixton team are incredibly warm, careful, sensitive and thoughtful and I know that he feels safe and secure. Everyone has taken the time to get to know
him as an individual and it is clear that they understand what makes him tick, how to encourage him to learn and participate in all their imaginative activities and also when he just needs a cuddle. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.

Our daughter (now 18-months) loves it here! She toddles in waving at all her friends and smiling happily. She loves all the brilliant teachers, who are the most positive and friendly people I’ve ever met. They genuinely love each child and take the time to get to know them and celebrate their individual
personalities. I don’t know where they all get their energy from, but it seems boundless.
As a first time mum, I was sad to go back to work, but it has been amazing knowing that our daughter is so happy and so well cared for. She has learned so much in such a short space of time, and we are so grateful to all the teachers for being so wonderful with her.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.184)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.184) out of 10 for Brixton Garden Nursery & Pre-school (formerly Little Angel Nursery School) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 8 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 4.813 for Brixton Garden Nursery & Pre-school (formerly Little Angel Nursery School) is calculated as follows: ( (82 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.813

  • 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 4.371 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brixton Garden Nursery & Pre-school (formerly Little Angel Nursery School) is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 70 number of registered child places is 14. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.571

  • 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.
