Our children have been attending this nursery for over the course of 6 years, we are very happy with the service provided. Both children loved attending Fledgelings Day Nursery from the baby room through to the end of pre-school.

Our daughter loves going to the nursery and enjoys her time there. Her class teachers are all very caring and attentive to her needs. She is now more confident and active. Also, her eating has improved significantly; she tries more food and eats more portions. Using the app is very reassuring including
updates on the naps, toileting and eating. Our daughter loves the outdoors but they do not get much outdoor time due to staff numbers. Also, a weekly/monthly summary of what the class does throughout the day with photos would be great. All in all, very happy with the nursery and glad our daughter is comfortable and happy.

Fledgelings Day Nursery has been providing childcare for my children for the past five years. My children have been there from babies through to leaving for school. Each member of staff is experienced, caring and nurturing towards the children. If any issues are raised they are quickly resolved.

My son previously attended this nursery six years ago and we all loved it so there was no question about sending my daughter there. She has had a great time at Fledgelings Day Nursery and it really shows in her confidence, abilities and knowledge. She’s loved all the activities, learning about different
topics and the occasional trip to the park. The facilities are always brilliant and I know she’s offered nutritional meals three times a day (even at times when she’s being extra picky!) The team have been excellent at each stage, from the baby room to preschool. It’s been a great foundation for school and I’m sure she’ll continue to flourish. The staff have been great throughout, even with the challenges of Covid, and my daughter will really miss them when she leaves. Big thank you to the staff for teaching, caring and restyling her hair every time she asks!

The nursery room staff at Fledgelings Day Nursery are like extended members of the family!
They love, guide and care for my daughter in the same way I would. The nursery has aided my daughter with self confidence, academic and social skills in preparation for starting school. The nursery has a homely
feel and they are always completing so many learning activities. She is always encouraged to try new things including foods and snacks.
The nursery is very educational through play.

Fledglings Day Nursery has been a great place for my son to excel and learn about the world. He has made many new friends and really come out of his shy bubble. His speech has come on leaps and bounds and I believe this is a happy and safe setting for all children to be themselves while setting them
up for future success.

I just had to share my experience with this amazing nursery.
My three-year-old son has been attending for a year now and I can honestly say, I have never been more pleased with a childcare provider before. The staff is incredibly professional and truly seem to love what they do, which is evident in
the way they interact with the children. The connection with the parents is outstanding, and my husband and I both feel completely confident and secure leaving our son in their care. I usually don't give excellent feedback, but this place deserves it. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for exceptional childcare.

My baby attends Robin room. Activities throughout the day are stimulating and children are happy and engaged upon visits.
The app allows regular check-ins with staff for updates throughout the day on my child. This includes sleep, food intake and nappies.
Pictures and videos are provided on the
app so I can see what my child is doing throughout the day.

My wife and I walked into this Nursery and we knew it was the Nursery we wanted to send our daughter. We absolutely love this school and the teachers. It was the first time that our daughter didn’t cry when we left, instead she said bye to us.
Our daughter has been attending Fledgelings Day Nursery
Hornchurch for just over one and a half years now. We feel so lucky to have been able to secure a place at Fledgelings Day Nursery Hornchurch. The settling in was quick and the staff made it feel stress free. Our daughter has always been happy when arriving at the nursery in the morning and when picked up in the evening. The staff at Nursery is so dedicated to the well being of all children.
Ever since enrolling her, we have seen many improvements. Nursery helps her more than we expect. Before she enrolled to the nursery, she was not able to speak and communicate with us. She is now singing songs, dancing, drawing amazing pictures and knows all numbers and letters. Thank you so much!

Our daughter loves nursery. She is excited to go every morning and doesn't want to leave. All the staff deeply care about her and her well-being. They are attentive to her needs and are nurturing and loving towards her, just what she needs. Her talking has come on amazing since starting there and we
couldn't be happier.
She also eats really well and loves the menu.

Reply from Salma Khodabaksh, Owner at Fledgelings Day Nursery (Hornchurch)

Thank you for your response so pleased to see that she was always excited to come into nursery. Our menus are devised by our 8 Chefs between the nurseries constantly communicating to ensure that all found that are cooked on the premises are enjoyed and also nutritional for the children.

Our 3-year-old has been with the nursery since she was 1. Although key workers have changed a few times in each room that she was in, it didn't really impact her as she is close to all carers. Staff and management are very supportive of individual child's needs. Updates have been much better with the
app - prompt core updates but development updates/photos are on a periodic basis. Would be nice to see more photos of what the kids are up to.


There are definitely a lot of activities (evidenced by messy painted clothes and artwork)! Our little one looks forward to nursery. They used to go to the park/ walks outside but don't think they have done any in the last year - probably due to lack of staff/staff turnover. It would be great if this can start again. Food/nutrition - we only get updates on the app on what they had that day but never any photos. I do know they have never served chicken nuggets - our little one didn't know what it was at a party!


Overall - very happy with Fledgelings

Thank you for your review. Appreciate the feedback on outings will look Into this and hopefully reinstate this. Our Chef only serves cooked food. We do not purchase processed foods on our premises.

My child has been attending Fledgelings Day Nursery since she was eleven months old. She is now four years and in the preschool room getting ready to leave to go to school in September.
Throughout my daughter's time at the nursery there has never been a doubt in my mind that she is well cared for and
loved by the staff. All her assigned key workers have been great and communication is fab, especially with the new app.
There are great resources and my child will come home daily talking about all the new things she has learnt. I know that all staff at Fledgelings are building a wonderful foundation for my daughter to start school and she will miss them all dearly when she leaves in August!

My daughter went to Fledgelings Hornchurch and started in the toddler room. She had a really good relationship with her key worker. She then progressed to the pre-school room, where she has had a few key workers. Notwithstanding this, my daughter has felt comfortable going to all staff and she talks
about how friendly they are. There are lots of activities for the kids to do. It's nice to have the app where they share photos and keep parents updated.

Our daughter started at the nursery when she was 13 months. The care was very good in the baby room, and I love the app that keeps you up to date. Unfortunately, her key worker left during her time in the baby room but she adapted well to her new key worker. The nursery indoors and outdoors is always
very clean and they have nice wooden outdoor equipment. She is now in the Sparrows Room. The care is also very good. My only criticisms are there was a lot of staff turnover when she first moved to that room which seems to have settled now, and also that she has come out quite a few times very dirty (her face which could be cleaned). Overall Fledgelings Day Nursery Hornchurch is a good nursery and the staff are very caring and know the children well.

Reply from Salma Khodabaksh, Owner at Fledgelings Day Nursery (Hornchurch)

Thank you for your review and we are now working hard on ensuring our staff turnover is at a minimum. I appreciate your review as it allows us to reflect and make positive changes. We will feedback your response to all our staff.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.667)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.667) out of 10 for Fledgelings Day Nursery (Hornchurch) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.667 for Fledgelings Day Nursery (Hornchurch) is calculated as follows: ( (284 Excellents x 5) + (72 Goods x 4) + (28 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 384 Ratings = 4.667

  • 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 Fledgelings Day Nursery (Hornchurch) is based on 31 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8, which has been reached with 31 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.
