My son is incredibly happy at The Brentford Day Nursery. He walks in and doesn’t look back. He’s also always happy when we pick him up. Our son is our first child, we had a month of settling in which other nurseries don’t offer but it meant that we felt comfortable leaving him. The nursery communicates
well with us and lets us know of anything they pick up whilst our son is with them, e.g. teething, or a cold. We are really pleased our son is in a safe and loving place. He has also learned and developed so much in his time there.

My son really enjoys nursery and always comes home really cheerful having had a busy day. They do a wide range of appropriate activities, share lots of information during the day and provide a wide selection of food for the 3 meals he has. Impressed by the amount of outside space for London.
We started
at the nursery at Easter and they have been very accommodating of our fluctuating childcare needs which has made my return to work very easy.
I hope it remains this good as my son seems to really like the teachers and to be happy on his nursery days. They are very caring and kind people who already seem to know him well.

My daughter is so happy in Little Garden Brentford. All of the staff are so supportive and provide her with so much care, attention and positivity.
I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery in the area. As first time parents we feel so lucky to leave our precious daughter in such
a wonderful and happy environment!

Brentford day nursery is an organisation which I can confidently say has surpassed and leapt over every expectation I had of them. I have never worried about the safety of my child rather she wishes to go and spend time with her friends and teachers every single day (weekends as well) developing social
and academic skills which, we can see in real-time progress. Truly forming bonds with the staff and kids that I dread the day she will eventually have to leave. The facilities are immaculate, the activities are abundant. But the staff really are the game changer. The most patient and kind people I am personally yet to meet where there have been many an occasion where they went above and beyond for me and my family personally. I could not think of a better institution and people to look after and be with our kids in the most crucial years of their lives and am grateful.

Our son has been going to nursery since his settling in days in December and 3 days per week from January. He has been finding it hard but with the help of the fantastic staff he is now settling in well.


The staff are always friendly, polite and informative. Nothing is an issue for them and they

already have a close bond with our son.


Im looking forward to them developing our son in this stage of his life and I couldn't recommend them enough.

My son came to Little Garden Nursery as a last hope to help him and understand his needs. I came for the open day and knew this was the place for him so well organised and clean but also inviting and friendly. He has been there since August and the difference has been out of this world they truly care
about children and equip them for what they need to thrive.


There is always something happening for the children, a new theme maths counters, dinosaur trays, literacy and creative arts and areas to play to gain their attention and teach them. I love that the food is fresh and cooked on-site.


On a personal level, the Manager and her team really put the effort into getting to know your child as an individual and working with them in a respectful productive and loving environment. My son has thrived and continues to thrive in this place and is a different boy from when he started I can't thank them enough for the help and support and also for teaching me ways to better support him

We have been sending our eldest to Brentford Little Garden Day Nursery for nearly three years and our youngest for eight months. We couldn't be happier with our choice. The staff are truly fantastic - it is their hard work and commitment which make this nursery such an incredibly special, happy, caring
and stimulating place for the children. The breadth of experiences and activities they get to do - inside and outside - is brilliant. They are learning, developing and curious about the world around them. And our children absolutely love the food - delicious and freshly prepared - I'm under strict instructions to never miss a nursery breakfast! There is a very happy vibe here and the family invitations to celebrate various events at the nursery - Christmas, Halloween etc - mean they create a very friendly atmosphere between children, staff and parents.

Thank you for the review and saying staff are fantastic, we love taking care of all the children and setting up our activities to help them explore, discover and learn.

We have been sending our child to the Brentford Little Garden Day Nursery for two months and have been really happy with it. The staff are lovely and you can tell they really care about the children. They offer a wide range of activities to help various aspects of development, including - my favourite
- Spanish lessons on Mondays. Our child is always happy to go there in the morning and sometimes doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day! We’re so pleased we chose Brentford Day Nursery to look after our little one.

We started looking for the nursery in Brentford during spring last year after a very traumatic experience (for both us and our daughter when she briefly attended nursery pre-Covid) I had a list of nurseries I wanted to see, but after seeing Little Garden The Brentford Day Nursery & Pre-School for the
first time I just cancelled other viewings. It clicked immediately. The biggest advantage of this place is obviously the staff. It’s an amazingly diverse team, they are great professionals but also lovely, caring, friendly, down-to-earth people. Our daughter made big progress since attending the nursery just 3 times per week. Rooms are big bright and clean, garden might seem small but it has everything that kids need to have fun outdoors. Food seems lovely and what’s important is it’s freshly prepared. Also, the opening hours are probably the longest in Brentford. I would really recommend this place to anyone who is in doubt.

Both of our young sons have attended this wonderful nursery, the eldest since he was 9 months old. The standard of care has been consistently excellent, with each of our sons' key workers providing superb care. One keyworker has almost been adopted into our family due to the time and energy she has
put into shaping our eldest and two other staff members continue to be a warm and enthusiastic influence on our youngest, who has flourished whilst there. The outdoor space and inventive ways adopted by this team of staff are such a find in a busy location like Brentford and the standards of care relating to safety and first aid are beyond those we've found amongst those of our friends' childcare choices. Additionally, staff turnover is low, allowing continuity for our little one but when new staff do arrive, they are well qualified, energetic and knowledgeable. They are led by the manager who is brilliantly organised and always professional and generous with her time. I hugely recommend them all.

I can’t recommend this nursery enough. My daughter started in February 2022 and has settled in so well. The settling-in period was so hard for myself and my daughter but the staff were amazing, I didn’t think she would settle but she did! The staff have got to know her so well, she gets so excited in
the mornings knowing she is going to be spending her day with her nursery family. There are always fun activities throughout the days and they even have Spanish lessons! I don’t think she ever has time to get bored. I get a daily update from the staff on how her day went and they are always happy to chat. My daughter has never been good at eating proper meals but somehow she eats 2 portions almost every day! We have been sent an updated 3 weekly menu of what is served and it’s like a posh restaurant. I wish I could have my lunch there! Very healthy, balanced meals. While at work, I never have to worry about her as I know she is well looked after, well fed and very happy.

My daughter has attended this nursery since January. I have noticed how much she is learning and her speech gets better every week. I love the app where you can see what your child has done for the day and what they have eaten. Overall, I am very happy with the staff and facilities of Brentford day
nursery. 5 stars from me.

Really pleased with this Nursery! After joining from another local Nursery that closed down, I could immediately see the difference and professionalism in the staff. My son is 2 and has developmental delays, the staff here have given me and my son great support and guidance and also have done everything
possible to settle my little one. I can’t thank the staff enough!

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. We chose it for its space, cleanliness and organisation. Our daughter started this nursery in a baby room during the pandemic at 18 months old, everyone was very accommodating, understanding and helpful to her. She loves it and so do we. With the help of practitioners,
she developed her social skills and met a lot of new friends.

My daughter loves Brentford Day Nursery. She is developing exceptionally well both academically and socially. She feels happy and reassured and has an admirable relationship with all staff including the Nursery Manager. Communication with parents is good. The small family feel works well for our daughter's
personality, as she can sometimes be overwhelmed with lots of new faces/large spaces. The staff are professional and it is clear to see they genuinely love working at the nursery.

My 1-year-old daughter really enjoys her time in the nursery. The settling-in period was long enough for both her and myself to get used to the new environment. I felt reassured that she was in good hands and the communication was brilliant. The staff in the baby room are very friendly, I really enjoy
chatting to them about my daughter’s day during the pickup time. I can see that my baby is kept entertained and she is learning new skills. Management are also very welcoming, they engage with both kids and parents. A great place for the little ones!

My child started attending in Sept 2022 with an excellent settling in period and approach. I find management responsive and caring, the daily logs with descriptions of activities are very useful as well as the time teachers spend at pick up to talk us through how the day went. I’d like to see pictures
more often, but I understand staff are busy, but probably more than this, I’d love the opportunity to visit and get a better idea of how my child interacts with activities and people. Two staff members, in particular, are very caring and affectionate, but I’m glad that my child seems happy with each and all.

Reply from Harjit, Digital Marketing Executive at Little Garden The Brentford Day Nursery & Pre-School

Thank you for the review and we are please to hear you have settled in. With covid restrictions being lifted, we are now looking at how we can get parents involved and into the nursery. This will give you the opportunity to visit and interact with your child during activities.

My son has been at the nursery since September last year. The team at the nursery have taken the time to get to know him and really understand his needs which aren't always straightforward. They are open and clear about where we're heading and collaborate with me on different ways to get there. I appreciate
all their efforts and I can see the positive impact they are having. They understand the importance of pace and keep in mind the bigger picture. I am so pleased he joined this nursery and I'm excited about the next few years.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.969)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.969) out of 10 for Little Garden The Brentford Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.969 for Little Garden The Brentford Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (253 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 261 Ratings = 4.969

  • 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 Little Garden The Brentford Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 22 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 22 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.
