Incredible nursery, after two weeks my boy was delighted to go to the nursery to learn and play, constant updates with your children's progress.
The advantage with language having Spanish as a second language in the nursery I couldn’t ask for more.

The team at Denbigh Under Fives Pre-School are amazing! My daughter and I feel very welcome each morning we attend. Very spacious and clean indoors and great area outside with heaps of equipment which my daughter loves and talks about all the way home! She has come on leaps and bounds since attending
and it's certainly showing at home, so thank you so much.

Denbigh Under Fives is an excellent nursery which provides a nurturing environment. My 2-year-old son absolutely loves going there. We are always greeted with a big welcoming smile. All staff are super friendly, professional and caring. I am always given feedback about my son's progress and highlight
of his day. There is a very creative outdoor play area for the children to play. Denbigh's wonderful team is doing a fantastic job. I highly recommend this amazing nursery to anyone!

I am so impressed from the very beginning since my second child went to this school and now my third child. With the level of care and how they put 101 per cent efforts in care for my children. All the staff are welcoming, friendly and enthusiastic. Never seen teams like that. You seem to be all teamwork
and kindhearted people. All the activities are well planned and engaging. I am so honoured that my kids are part of Denbigh Under Fives.

The staff are all lovely and take a genuine interest in the children. They encourage them to make friends and as well as having fun the children also learn. I was very surprised when my 2-year-old started saying the days of the week!
They have a lovely garden where the children can play outside and
learn about nature. They also teach them to cook and make pottery.

We've been so happy with Denbigh for our daughter. The staff are caring, attentive and very thoughtful and engaging with the children. They do fun activities with the children that involve cooking, singing, dancing, and learning about other cultures. We also appreciate that they make use of the outdoor
space and give the children time to play in the fresh air.

The lady who runs this beautiful, intimate nursery is on the ball in every way and is so kind and caring and truly cares for each and every child. During these difficult times, she and all staff have gone above and beyond to keep all parents informed and up to date.
It’s like dropping my little man
off with his other nanny when he goes in. Could not have asked for better. Thank you so much to all.

Best nursery in London! With the most hard-working, dedicated, responsible, friendly and loving staff I have ever met! I am very overprotective of my child (as any other parent) and I feel that this nursery provides a safe, educational and fun environment for her. My daughter began in September this
year and she now sings nursery rhymes that they’ve taught her in English and Spanish! And so much more! It’s really great! I couldn’t recommend this place enough! Thank you for everything!

Very good nursery. It is slightly different compared to other nurseries that's why I wanted to put my child there. Very warm and friendly place. Staff always welcome and full of ideas to keep children busy. They teach Spanish so that's a bonus. My daughter loves going there.

Our daughter has multiple food allergies, so when we were looking for a nursery the knowledge of how to manage allergies was on the top of our list. After researching nurseries in the area and attending the open days, Denbigh filled us with complete confidence. The staff are very caring and welcoming
and they have gone out of their way to ensure that the nursery is a safe environment for our daughter; they ensure that the activities are tailored so that she can join in and that measures are in place for snack and meal times.


Our daughter loves nursery and she has fostered a great relationship with the staff - she certainly feels very much at home there and since joining she has thrived in her social and language skills.


I cannot rate the staff highly enough and have already recommended it to a friend who has since joined and is also very happy.

We are very delighted with Denbigh Under Fives. Our 3 daughters, 2 now in School and another still in, have enjoyed their time there. The staff are brilliant in the care of my little ones, always supportive particularly when struggling to settle and any concern regarding my daughter's development.


We

have been part of events they have organised, good times and much fun, that our kids so far still in their memories.


I have absolutely no hesitation to recommend Denbigh Nursery to any parent. Until now one of the best of the best.

I love this nursery, my 9-year-old Son when he was two, used to go in this nursery. I recommended it to my friend and her child used to go there and she was happy.
Now, my twins, two-year-old boys are going to this nursery. When they started one of them used to cry, but now they love to go there
and that shows me due to the kindness of the staff there. They are friendly and hard working, that's why I love the nursery.

I really, really love this nursery. All the teachers are so friendly and give a warm welcoming to both child and parents. It was my first and only choice, due to previous family members going and I’m really happy with my choice. It's a really nice loving and calm place. My son is two years old and literally
doesn't leave my side.
For the first week I did some settling with him, and felt really at home, on the second week there were a few tears but it is literally his third week being here and he’s completely settling in a lot quicker than I thought. He is now starting to say bye to me and I’m so proud of him and very thankful to the staff for making him feel so welcome and happy there.
I wouldn’t ask for a better place for my son to be. An amazing place which has got a good outdoor space to which is perfect because kids love being outside.

My daughter loves going to nursery! When I pick her up from school she is always upbeat and excited to tell me about all the things she did that day. It is very clear to me that the staff at Denbigh Under Fives really care for their children. They are also very flexible at meeting the needs of the child
as well as the parents. Great little nursery!

My daughter would live at Denbeigh Under Five's if she could. She always has such a positive attitude when entering and leaving nursery. The love that she is given by her carers at the nursery is that of a families, with love and discipline and I'm ever so grateful. Her progress is outstanding and the
support to families is exceptional.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.942)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.942) out of 10 for Denbigh Under Fives 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.942 for Denbigh Under Fives Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (316 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 330 Ratings = 4.942

  • 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 Denbigh Under Fives Pre-School is based on 28 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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 28 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.
