I have had two children at Keren's and my youngest is now in her final year. I can't recommend the nursery enough. They are so kind and thoughtful with the children, and my girls felt really at home there. All of the activities are so well considered and my eldest went to school feeling really confident
about so many things. Thank you Karen's.

Reply from Yael Brown, Deputy Manager at Keren's Nursery Hampstead Garden Suburb

Thank you so much for your support and kind words about the nursery we have loved having your family a part of ours for so many years.

My daughter went to Keren's Nursery for two years and we couldn't be more satisfied with their care during her attend. Parents were well informed about what the children's activities were with daily notes and photos via the app and weekly news. We were involved in many events too and could see the children's
development. All staff is very kind, attentive and professional, the location is great, the daily activities are fantastic. Choosing Keren's for my daughter's nursery was one of our best decision for us after we moved to the UK.

My daughter attends Keren's Nursery and I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention the teachers have given her over the past year. The teachers are nurturing, attentive and encouraging and treat my daughter as if she was their own. The nursery feels like a home away from home! They offer support
but also encourage independence and truly believe in learning through play. A great decision for the early years of a child’s life.

The nursery is very caring and has organised a lot of creative and meaningful activities for the children from very early age.
The children also have a lot of opportunities to engage in outdoor activities.
The classes have been kept small in size, which is very good for the little ones as they get
more attention from the children.
The teachers are very friendly and can give parents a lot of feedback and observations on how the kid gets on.
The nappy change process has also been well taken care of. And the children are encouraged to get messy.
Overall I found the nursery is well managed, and it is a loving place for both teachers and the children.

This was the best thing I could ever do for my son. He has improved and grown so much just by going to the nursery. The staff are amazing, they work with the children and they teach them how to be independent. The nursery is not just about playing with cheap plastic toys, it is about teaching them how
to learn.
My son goes to nursery with a smile on his face and when I pick him up his smile is still there.

Reply from Yael Brown, Deputy Manager at Keren's Nursery Hampstead Garden Suburb

Thank you so much for your kind words and wonderful review, we are so pleased to hear your son is so happy and doing well. Our staff continuously strives to offer the best care and learning experiences for the children each day and happy this gets transferred to you.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My daughter has been at the nursery for almost a year now. Being quite a sensitive child and finding it hard to adjust to a new setting, Keren's Nursery has truly been a blessing for us. It is warm, it is child-centred it provides amazing experiences so vital for such young age. Children are exposed
to a variety of activities and introduced to outdoors and sports (Acroyoga is my daughter's favourite thing).
It celebrates Jewish culture, whilst being open to everything else: the nursery had a Chinese New Year celebration and the cutest tea party for the King's coronation.
If you are looking for a "home away from home" kind of setting - this is the place.
One thing to consider is the long holidays and many Jewish holidays and short days (the nursery's core hours are 9-15).

Great nursery where children come and leave with a smile on their face! Teachers are fantastic - kind, well educated, considerate and we are happy settling in was smooth and our daughter never said she doesn't want to go to nursery. She is however sad when she finds out it's the weekend and the nursery
is closed!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.776)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.776) out of 10 for Keren's Nursery Hampstead Garden Suburb 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 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 4.853 for Keren's Nursery Hampstead Garden Suburb is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.853

  • 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 4.923 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Keren's Nursery Hampstead Garden Suburb is based on 12 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 65 number of registered child places is 13. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 13 = 0.923

  • 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.

Job Title: Nursery Deputy Manager

Joined: 2015

I was a childminder between 2010 and 2015 and qualified in level 3 childcare. I joined Keren’s in 2015. I have an additional level 5 in management and leadership in childcare workforce. I am designated safeguarding lead, and a forest school leader.


What I love most about my job is seeing the children learn every day and their faces smile. The fulfilment you get from working with children is like no other reward in a job. I love my colleagues and the atmosphere we create here each day. I love the freedom and support I get in regards to furthering myself professionally in my career.

Natalia Moldoveanu

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2017

I have been working in Keren’s Nursery since 2017. I always loved working with children and really value the time that I spend working in childcare. When I first started, I was a nursery practitioner. I was then fortunate enough to climb the ladder to room leader and then to the role of a manager. Throughout the 6 years I spent in this nursery, I believe that the training, support and motivation from the directors and management were the key factors that helped me grow in my career. I currently hold a QTS and graduated with a degree in psychology and sociology. I have a total of 15 years experience working with children and a Level 3 in management and leadership. Working in a nursery is a job I am very grateful to have as my love for working with young children and bonding with staff will never end. For me, it is important that children grow up in a happy, loving environment and that the staff not only feel motivated and valued, but also help each other grow. The safety and happiness of the children and the wellbeing of the staff is my biggest priority. I am currently married with a wonderful 15-year-old daughter and in my spare time I love spending time with my family and friends, travelling and cooking.
