  • St Paul's Nursery, London
St Paul’s is situated in a beautifully converted church on Dock Street. The nursery is located within walking distance of Aldgate East and Tower Hill underground stations, Tower Gateway (DLR) and Liverpool and Fenchurch Street mainline stations, making the nursery an ideal location for commuters and local residents.

The building has recently undergone a significant refurbishment which has helped to create a vibrant and spacious environment for children to explore and engage in free flow activities. Children participate in daily walks and explore their local community, visiting Swedenborg Park, the Docks and a nearby playground.

Our young one has been thoroughly enjoying her time here, the facilities are great, the staff are really friendly and accomodating. Everyone seems very knowledgable and friendly and are quick to deal with requests and are always on hand to answer any queries. Fantastic for my child and it gives peace
of mind knowing she's at a place she's really happy with.

This is a fantastic nursery. After my eldest attended here 2017-2019 there was nowhere else I wanted my youngest to go and I was thrilled she got a place. The best thing about this nursery is the staff. They are committed, friendly, knowledgeable and just so kind and welcoming to the children. I feel
totally happy and secure leaving my daughter with them knowing she will have a great time, be well looked after and stimulated. Her talking and development have come on leaps and bounds since being at St Paul’s. I know she is being given a chance to chat, to play and to explore her surroundings. I couldn’t recommend this nursery more highly.

Our little one has settled really well in the nursery. The staff have made us feel welcome from day 1 and are very engaged in the kids’ wellbeing through the offering of different activities and food.
She comes home very happy about what she’s done and enjoys her time there.
Competitive prices, very
nice staff and structure and long hours available, I would definitely recommend the nursery.

We are satisfied with the nursery. The staff are very caring and warm. The facility is a repurposed church so the ceiling inside is incredibly high which is a good point. I guess the only point that would have been good in my opinion is better outside space. I would highly recommend this nursery.

We started recently at this nursery and we are very happy as we really felt welcome.
This is our 3rd child and our other two were in another nursery so we had strong expectations. All were fulfilled and our daughter really enjoys St Paul's Nursery and the staff, who are really nice. I will definitely
continue to recommend it to our friends.

I had to drop my nephew at St Paul's Nursery the other day as his parents had to work long shifts. I have never seen a child as excited as my nephew to attend the nursery. He kept praising the nursery and the staff through the journey. He mentioned about different activities and his friends at St Paul's
Nursery. I’m so glad that my nephew attends this nursery as this is a fantastic start for his life. I would like to say thank you to the staff and the management for an amazing job.

Great place for kids. The staff are really friendly and know how to cater to each child's needs. Outstanding service in my opinion! The management is great always there for both kids and parents. Safeguarding kids is at the forefront of everything they do. They provide exceptional nutritional food catering
for my child's peanut allergy and learning is centered around everything. Facilities are very good with all safety being met.

I can't thank the management team and staff at St Paul's Nursery enough for their hard work and the amazing care they give to the children. The team are helpful and supportive in every aspect. I was a little dubious sending my child back after lockdown but was super impressed with all the policies and
protocols put in place which made me feel at ease. The manager is always contacted and a pleasure to speak to. Daily activities, daily feedback and the food menu's are a big hit with us. I can't recommend St Paul's Nursery enough to anyone that is looking for a placement for their children. The location is very good too.

My nephew went back to the nursery after the lockdown period.
I was very impressed with the protocols put in place not only for the safety of the children but also for the peace of mind for the parents.
It's obviously very worrying times so all the protocols have been very reassuring.
Management
took their time to explain and give solace with care and compassion but also keeping very professional. The deputy manager also came across very professional and efficient again all giving me and no doubt many other parents that I have spoken to confidence that our children are in safe hands. Well done team keep up the good work. And thank you.

Excellent location on the main road. Presentable and clean atmosphere. The team at the nursery is fantastic and friendly. Very helpful and will highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a place locally.
Walking distance to Aldgate station and Tower Hill station. A supermarket and other local

Wonderful Nursery! My son is attending since July and is well cared for, stimulated and supported.
He started at 9months old and in the middle of Covid crises and as hard as it can be leaving our kid, we were reassured, thanks to the staff's positive and welcoming attitude. We never once worried he
wouldn't have the best day.
Thanks to everyone from the top down for taking such good care of our son.

My son started nursery when he was 8 months old and it has been almost 16 months since then. We were very pleased with the level of care my son received from the amazing staff. They are always very friendly and warm and willing to talk about his progress. The daily end of day report delivering verbally
provides me an excellent opportunity to know how my son spends his day.
I had some concerns when we decided to send him back in mid-June after the lockdown. However, I feel that we had made a wise decision as my son is definitely much happier to be back and we are impressed by how the nursery and staffs have dealt with the Covid-19 situation. It is a relief to know that he is in good hands. May I have one suggestion, please? It would be great if we can still have some video updates/pictures showing us what they do during the day like before.
Overall, we are very happy about the nursery especially the lovely staff.

My daughter was attending the St Paul's Nursery for the last three years and I can confidently say that the team has been fantastic in taking care of my daughter. I feel my child has learned a lot of invaluable key values like sharing, caring with other peer children and how to show respect and confidently
communicate with others. I was worry-free when my daughter would attend the nursey and while I was at work since I know she is in the best hands possible.
Now that my daughter will be attending her reception year at a new school, St Paul's will be terribly missed by her and by all of us in the family.
Keep up the good work!

My daughter has been attending the nursery since she was eight months old (she’s two and a half years old now) and she absolutely loves it. The staff is lovely and dedicated, and she’s always happy to see them. We are incredibly grateful for having such amazing ladies taking care of and educating our
daughter. The communication with us has always been great, and it has been absolutely outstanding during these recent hard times. There’s no other place we would take her, and I really recommend it as I think it’s the best in the area.

As a first time mum, I got very attached to my little one and I was worried a lot about her. In this nursery, I feel that my child is safe, they will look after and try everything they can do to make her comfortable and they always take me into account and the needs of my family. Many times at work,
I had to cover colleagues and different shifts, which were not planned, and I had to communicate with the nursery and explain the situation. The nursery was always willing and flexible to help and look after my little one. They are very affectionate and cheerful to all children and I haven’t noticed any member of staff showing any pressure or stress when they might have a problem or be under pressure. I mostly appreciate that they are truthful and can be strict with the “parent’s expectations” and I suppose they treat truthfully my little one when she does naughty things, like I would do at home and make her understand what is wrong and right and become a better person!

I can't be happier that I chose St Paul’s Nursery for my daughter. The positive attitude, energy, dedication and creativity of staff just amazes me on an ongoing basis. I love that they provide such a great, varied, exciting and engaging learning and play opportunities, which they also share with me

The staff are very friendly, supporting, caring and knowledgeable at the same time. I feel my daughter is in perfect hands when I leave her in the morning. Thank you St Paul’s Nursery!

The nursery is a very inclusive and welcoming environment where my child feels at ease. The nursery offers a large range of stimuli to the children who have the opportunity of learning and improving their skills on a daily basis. The staff are very engaging both with children and parents, showing they
do care to make the most out of the pupils. The staff greet and welcome the children with a huge smile in the morning and I can notice my child has a great pleasure in going to the nursey.
Since my child joined the nursery, my child has improved his/her communication skills, starting to master the meaning of sharing, and has made friends with whom to play within and outside the nursery.
Management and administration are always punctual and thorough in providing information and the weekly Friday newsletter is a wonderful way to keep the parents up-to-date on what the children do during the week and other useful information (food, activities, etc.)
Overall, I am very satisfied!

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.192)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.192) out of 10 for St Paul's Nursery 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 9 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 4.917 for St Paul's Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (99 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 4.275 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Paul's Nursery is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 120 number of registered child places is 24. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.375

  • 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.
