Great crèche, great staff! Our little one has been there since she was 8 months old; she is now 2 years and 5 months. She loves going to the crèche every day and the atmosphere is brilliant. Would definitively recommend it!

Couldn't ask for a better nursery! Everything from the staff who are absolutely brilliant, to the location and resources available for the children. The varied activities really give them a chance to try a bit of everything and the relationships formed with the staff and my son have been fantastic,
he's always up and ready for nursery to see his favourite teachers!

The nursery is a wonderful, warm and nurturing environment for my son. He loves going to play with the animals and his friends. The staff have been amazing at settling him, and we have seen excellent development in his language and social skills since he has been there. He often comes home singing a
new song- the latest was Zoom Zoom Zoom.

This nursery is great! My son has developed wonderfully and built great relationships with the staff.


He started at the age of six months and I feel he has developed greatly from the interaction with the staff and kids at the nursery. I love the fact that a number staff speak different languages

and my son has the opportunity to learn these languages.


The staff are attentive to my son's needs and they keep me informed of his progress. I like the fact that the chef takes the time to get to know what the kids like and don’t like and try to offer the kids different food to expand their taste in foods.


The staff is what makes the nursery such a great place, and I could not have hoped for a better nursery.

We have been delighted with our daughter's progress since attending Brixton Community Nursery. The staff are extremely attentive and committed to her welfare and development. The team also go out of their way to build a community, arranging regular family events to make us feel included. We would unreservedly
recommend Brixton Community Nursery to other parents.

I would certainly recommend this nursery to anyone! It has such a happy atmosphere which is down to the lovely and very dedicated staff. They always go the extra mile to make both you and your child feel welcome. As a parent, I really appreciate the feedback I get on a daily basis. This lets me know
what activities they are doing to help facilitate my child’s learning. An added bonus for me is the food that’s provided - it perfectly caters to children’s taste whilst limiting sugar and salt.


A truly fantastic Nursery!

This is a great nursery in an urban location. The staff work very hard to create varied activities for the children, often taking them out to the park, to the soft play and swimming activities in a nearby recreation centre (where it is situated). My son really enjoys it, the staff create a very caring,
relaxed environment, and he is developing very well. They have there own chef preparing fresh meals on site every day, who responds to there needs and creates a great menu!

My son enjoys coming. We don’t get any of that “it’s not a nursery day today” moan that I hear from parents with children at other nurseries.


Good food is always prepared on-site. The nursery kitchen currently only has four hygiene stars but they lost one when their chef was away and I expect them

to get it back at the next inspection.


Great location at the rec, and while there is only limited outside space, the children often get taken to the playzone which my son loves. He will shortly turn three and start swimming once a week.

My daughter has been attending Brixton Community Nursery since she was 9 months old. The staff are absolutely amazing, they are fun, caring and infinitely patient (both with parents and children). My daughter has really blossomed, she is doing well with reading and counting, but most importantly she
is happy.
They go on real-life outings the market and library and learn about each other's interests and diversity.
The chef is brilliant and she eats a vast range of foods and flavours (better than she does at home). I think the nursery is great.

The nursery's greatest asset is their staff, who are truly caring, attentive, joyous and work as a close-knit family. The frequent events for parents, seaside trips and outings, their emphasis on arts and crafts activities and story time are also a plus! Our daughter - and her parents - thrive on those.
Food provision is another highlight as the chef is highly committed to offering the best, and cooks with love. The nursery is not big in terms of space and I am somehow let down by the lack of windows too, but I feel the staff are attentive to children's needs and take them out to explore the world often. They have been making use of local parks and facilities, including their play zone and the pool. Keep up the excellent work!

Brixton Nursery is a great nursery for many reasons, to name a few: excellent food prepared on site, great activity diversity, great curriculum and child development follow up, great facilities with the REC, outings to parks, library and market, staff is brilliant (very positive, dynamic and supportive),
great understanding of child personality, etc.
I would say the only downside is for older children (3+); I feel like there isn't enough indoor space for them to run/exercise their motor skills and the garden (small terrace) is also tiny.

Our daughter is very happy at the nursery, where she has now been going for eight months. We find the staff warm and welcoming and there's a real sense of community there.
The walls are covered with pictures from recent trips and activities and the outside space is amazing! Huge for an Inner London

We are very happy there.

Our son has been at Little Angels since he was one and we all love it. The staff and facilities are fantastic, with an amazing outdoor space. Our son is now there and is very social and confident and loves learning his letters and he has just got a sticker for doing well in his phonics. He has lots
of lovely friends and is very happy at Little Angels.

Great service, always willing to help. Staff are friendly and happy.
Lots of things to stimulate the babies.
The staff are always willing to help, advise and reassure you that your child is in the best care. They have notified me when my baby has fallen over or bumped his head and as he has asthma
they always tell me how well he is doing that day.

Our son started at Little Angels in March 2015, aged 10 months old. I was dreading going back to work and leaving him. However, I needn't have worried as our son settled into Little Angels very easily and has been SO happy there. The staff are incredible - all of them! They are so warm, loving,
kind and just brilliant with the children. Nothing is too much trouble. When I lost the Father's Day card they'd made with my son, they offered to make a new one the next day. When I mislaid his coat they found it the next day. The staff really celebrate the children and love their jobs and our son has loved interacting with the other children. I'm sure attending nursery has bolstered his self confidence as well - and I would choose Little Angels over a child minder any day. I had been worried about how much sleep he'd get during the day there, but they have a separate room for sleeping and he tends to sleep around 1.5 hours at lunch time. Little Angels also has lots of outdoor space, including a separate playground for the Under 2's. I really couldn't recommend this nursery more highly.

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.
