  • Harrow Road Nursery & Pre-School, London
Rated Good by Ofsted (April 2018), Harrow Road Nursery & Pre-School provides childcare and education to children from birth to 5 years old.

You can find them off Westway, close to Royal Oak and Warwick Avenue tube stations. They're a bright, spacious nursery with a large outdoor play area. The experienced staff have worked together for many years.

They inspire children to learn through curiosity and discovery. No activity is ever the same… from open fire cooking and obstacle courses, to science experiments, messy arts play, and more. The children love to get involved in the local community too, with trips to the shops and nearby care home.

A dedicated chef prepares all meals using healthy recipes from LEYF’s menu.

A friendly and well-run nursery which provides a rich and varied learning experience for the children. We have sent both of our daughters here, and our second is now in the preschool room. We particularly appreciate all the extra activities, which recently included taking the class to the National Portrait
Gallery and China Town. Although the garden is not massive, there is plenty of space for the children, and there is a big focus on outdoor play. I was impressed to see the children can play with a mud kitchen and worm and insect house.
What really stands out for us is the warmth and friendliness of the staff. We feel like they really care for our daughter and she has formed a strong bond with her carers.

My daughter has been going to Harrow Road for two months now, and she’s absolutely loving it! We were a bit worried at first because she was 5.5 months old when she started and could barely sit up, but the staff was exceptionally encouraging and helped her development in so many ways including mobility
and weaning! She is also making a lot of little friends who are very caring and playful with her.

The members of staff are fantastic, and my child is really happy to see them. My child has enjoyed his time at the nursery ever since he has started.
As a parent, I am very satisfied with the quality of care, and I also find it very useful that the nursery uses a mobile application they share information
about upcoming events or any other updates about my child.

I previously had my first born and now my secondborn attends this nursery. There is nothing more I can say but a really fantastic and dynamic team. Every aspect of this nursery is perfect for what my children need. The staff not only nurtures my child’s skills and abilities but also they are part of
moulding them into being wonderful children. I would choose them over and over again.

Our baby is having a wonderful time at this nursery. The team was very accommodating and helpful during the settling-in period. Teachers are very competent, sweet and communicative with the parents, and attention is given to the needs of each child, in our experience.

Currently, my youngest is at this nursery, but my older child also attended. Both children love going to the nursery. The stand-out point I want to make is how cared for they are as individuals. I feel my children are fabulous kids with big personalities, and it comes over that the staff feel the same
way and enjoy their company.

The best nursery - all my kids went and some still are. Amazing staff. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a nursery. My older kids who are in school still talk about their experiences with the nursery.

My son (2 years) has been going to this nursery full-time for over a year now and he seems very happy there. He is fond of all the staff and enjoys the activity-filled days. The staff understands his passions and will work with those to further his learning. I trust that he is in great hands.

I have been so happy with this nursery - after trialling two different nurseries, I have really felt like my son has been in excellent hands and in a very practical, kind and nurturing environment. The manager and assistant manager and his classroom teachers in Pre-school have all been very proactive
and responsive. I would recommend this nursery to anyone! The facilities will be even better when the nursery moves back to its original campus.

My daughter started at the nursery earlier in the year at the age of 10 months. Despite being one of the younger ones in the baby room, she has settled in extremely well and is always very happy on drop off and pick up. The staff are always friendly and it is clear they look after the little ones with
such care, knowledge and dedication. We are very happy with our choice of nursery.

I've had nothing but a positive experience at Harrow Road Nursery and Preschool.
The staff are kind and warm, my antisocial 1-year-old who had never been away from me settled in pretty much immediately (I almost felt offended.)
The communication is fantastic, I'm kept in the loop with pictures and
updates. The best thing for me personally, is that they let me know what she's eaten and how much she liked it so I know what snacks to buy at home.
They showed understanding and flexibility during our enrollment process.
Generally a nice nursery, it's clean and has a nice vibe. My son attended eight years ago and I was happy then but he was pre-school age so I was less apprehensive as he could talk and communicate any issues he had. But with a baby, the threshold for trust is much higher and they have been fantastic.
Would (and often do,) recommend to any parent in the area.

My eldest has attended this nursery since 2020 and he loves it. He’s grown a real bond with his last key workers and now his previous. When he joined he wasn’t potty trained and I was so anxious about starting. Thank you to a member of staff who made me feel at ease, even when my son would have some
accidents she always reassured me and my son. He will be moving on to another nursery soon (due to the cost of living) and I’m truly sad for him to say goodbye, especially to his current key worker. She is truly the kindest, most gentle key worker my son has ever had. On days when my son has felt overwhelmed, she has met me at the door (even when she’s busy) to regulate his emotions. Thank you.
My youngest will be joining in the next few weeks and I’m excited for him to start this new journey with this nursery. If I had the money I would have both my boys here together because I love the way the staff care for them and are always working alongside me.

My children have attended Harrow Road Nursery and love their teachers and the activities they are part of. I could never have imagined the development opportunities they would have throughout their baby, toddler, and pre-school years. Let alone the meals that are available to them. The staff are loving
and friendly and considered part of our extended family as my children love them so much. I’ve recommended it to many people looking for a day nursery in the area.

I have been very lucky to have sent my kids to this nursery (little one still in baby room, eldest one now moved on but still so well greeted and loved every time we do pick up of her brother). Feels like home to us now, I trust the staff completely despite all the challenging situations and sometimes
pretty overwhelming rules. They all work so hard and most importantly do love the little ones. Would highly recommend.

My son has been attending the nursery in 2020 for a couple of years and my daughter is now attending for a year and a half.
They learnt how to speak English and learnt/improved many skills.
The staff is great and we feel like they are really taking time to know each kid and parents.
We trust the
staff and feel like our children were/are learning in a safe environment
We are now moving to another area so we have to change nursery, I know our daughter (and us) will miss it very much!

My son has been attending Harrow Road Nursery & Pre-School since 2019. He is very happy and we are very grateful for the rich learning environment in the nursery. My child had speech and language delay. I have been supported by the management team extremely well and she has provided so many activities
and arranged a meeting with a speech and language therapist for my son. He is now progressing so well and ready for the reception.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.865)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.865) out of 10 for Harrow Road 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.865 for Harrow Road Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (186 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.865

  • 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 Harrow Road Nursery & Pre-School is based on 18 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 18 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.
