We are incredibly grateful to the wonderful team at Edgware Sparklers Nursery for taking such excellent care of our child. From day one, we have been consistently impressed by the dedication, kindness, and professionalism of the staff. The nurturing environment you have created has allowed our child
to flourish socially and academically.
We appreciate the regular updates and the detailed reports on our child's progress. It's evident that the staff goes above and beyond to ensure that parents are informed and involved.
Claude comes home excited and eager to share what he has learned and experienced each day. It's heartwarming to see his enthusiasm for learning and play, which is a testament to the creative and fun environment you provide.
Thank you, Edgware Sparklers Nursery, specially Maria for your unwavering commitment and hard work. You have created a second home for our child, and we couldn't be happier with the care and education he is receiving.

My daughter absolutely loved her experience at Sparklers Nursery, I’ve had no complaints regarding the team or the environment since my daughter started in September. The staff are kind, friendly and very supportive to the children and parents. The friendships she’s made with the children as well as
the practitioners will be missed dearly. I have lots of pictures of my daughter’s time and development throughout her time at Sparklers for memories. Overall, I am very pleased with Sparklers and I do recommend to anyone.

I want to start by thanking two particular members of staff for the great care and attention that they show my daughter. Also, to all the staff and to the nursery itself for the great place that they have created for our children. I love all the feedback and updates that they give daily. I would not
trust anyone else with my daughter. The place itself is very well maintained and well kept. My daughter has learned a lot and is very happy every day when she sees that entrance door. Thank you!

Many thanks, from the heart, for all your hard work, love, dedication and patience to my children, and for keeping personal belongings in order (toys, clothes), helping with potty training, caring when they were not feeling well, making every day a fun environment to go to which was also very important.

My 3 year old has been attending this nursery since March 2023 and I can’t thank the staff enough for how far she has come, ie they helped her with toilet training when I have been trying myself for over a year. Including dummies as it’s a no dummy policy which I am glad. She has always been a mummies
girl so attending the nursery has grown her confidence. Lately she comes home being able to remember everyone’s names now and calling them her ‘best-friends’ which is the cutest how she’s bonded with the staff as well as other children as she was such a shy child and she has learnt so much! So thank you again Sparklers Nursery.

My son started in September of this year. I cannot thank his teachers and the manager enough. The change in him has been nothing short of amazing; his willingness to eat and try new foods has improved so much! It’s so nice to see him so excited to go to nursery. They really care about the work they
do at Sparklers and I’m so grateful.

Sparklers Nursery is not the best nursery. This is because they don't focus on the education of the children and they are quite unorganised. Some of the staff looking after the children do not come across as very friendly at all. The administration is poor and they do not construct simple emails properly.
There was even a situation whereby they sent an email to all parents without blind copying. I could see every parent's email address. I would not recommend this nursery to anyone. There was only a handful of staff that were good at their job. One staff member accused my husband of not being my son's father even though he gave the password and they have a passport picture of both of us locked away in their filing cabinet. Disappointing!

Reply from Zara Habib, Manager at Sparklers Nursery

Thank you for your review. Your child was with us for four terms and was very happy here. At no point did you want to take your child out of the nursery.


Your child thrived here holistically including educationally. At no point did you tell us you were unhappy with their development while your child was here.


We are a busy and organised nursery with a lot of moving parts.

We take safeguarding our children very seriously and we double-check and triple-check to ensure the children are given to the correct parents.


Our staff are incredibly friendly and work really hard. We pride ourselves on good relationships with parents and carers.


As you can see from all the reviews from parents, we have a very good reputation amongst our parents who are happy with the nursery. Year after year they have sent their younger siblings to us and continue to refer through word of mouth.


We wish you and our family the best.

My little boy has been attending Sparklers Nursery since he was 11 months and he is now three. He absolutely loves it there and receives outstanding care and support. All the staff members are amazing with kids and delightful. The care, commitment and passion of the staff are very clear and it shows
in the way they interact with my son and other children. My son is very happy at this nursery, and I would recommend it to anyone.

I am happy that my daughter was attending this day care, although from the beginning after the holidays when I left her she was crying, over time she left with enthusiasm, the staff is attentive and friendly to the needs of each child, they do different activities each day, my daughter learned a lot
there, she even eats alone with a little help from me, she is more independent now. I recommend it, it is a very good day care!

My daughter joined Sparklers Nursery as an 18-month-old toddler; she was shy, had a little bit of a speech problem and was only familiar with her close family unit. She is now a confident, intelligent, smart, sociable, and emotionally stable young girl and Sparklers Nursery has contributed to that.
Thank you for the nurture, love, care and for going above and beyond for my daughter, the staff members always made my daughter feel special, loved, safe and cared for. As she moves to the next level, I am happy to say that she is a more confident, joyous and enthusiastic little girl and the whole of Sparklers Team has contributed to that. Thank you to all the staff members and I wish you all the best in the future.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.797)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.797) out of 10 for Sparklers Nursery 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 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.797 for Sparklers Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (414 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 488 Ratings = 4.797

  • 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 Sparklers Nursery is based on 39 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 39 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.
