My daughter is extremely happy at Stockwell Gardens. She loves attending and is always very reluctant to leave. We have seen her grow so much in confidence and speech - everything since starting.


The staff are all so caring and friendly, they do everything in their power to help, teach and encourage

the children. They treat them like their own, it is so comforting to leave my daughter knowing she’s happy, safe and loved.


Thank you Stockwell Gardens.

On my way back out of the nursery every morning and when picking my child up in the evening I am consumed by an immense and, frankly, slightly unhealthy jealousy. I really wish I could spend my days here and have as much fun as the kids do.

Our little boy started at LEYF Stockwell Gardens when he had just turned 1. He settled well into the baby room and the staff made sure he was comfortable. He has since moved up to the next learning space and his language and personality have flourished. The key workers are extremely approachable and
friendly, ensuring the children feel comfortable and supported. They have consistently shared progression in parent meetings and I am very happy with our experience there. Thank you!

Stockwell Gardens Nursery is a great nursery with a homely and happy feel. My son is really happy there and the staff seem to genuinely care about the children. The range of activities offered is varied and educational, with lots of thought clearly put into them. The staff respond well when there is
anything to report home about, and are always quick to reply to any admin queries. The only area for improvement, in my opinion, is the garden space, it'd be great if there was some wildlife that could be used to educate the children on nature. Overall, however, I am very satisfied with Stockwell Gardens Nursery and would recommend it to friends and family.

My little one is really happy at Stockwell Gardens - she's always excited to go back after the weekend, and everyone is always so warm and friendly. It's like Cheers, everyone knows her name, which gives it a small and comfortable community feeling.

The manager and all the team at Stockwell Gardens nursery do a fantastic job to create a friendly, supportive and engaging environment for young children and toddlers to thrive. Nothing is more important than the care and development of one's child, and the Stockwell Gardens team have impressed me with
their care, sense of community and fun activities they create for the kids. They go the extra effort to make sure growing up is both educational and fun and everyone is welcome. Our son has been very happy there and we're delighted that, among the many options available, we chose to go with Stockwell Gardens. At every development phase from baby to toddler to young boy, the team have always paid attention to the needs of our son and helped ease the transition from one room to the next. The key workers have been great and our son has bonded well with each one. Would highly recommend.

Really happy with how the staff are dealing with our son's transition to the next room. We get full updates and the care and experience they show in knowing when it's time and when they need to be kept with what they know is excellent.

Stockwell Gardens is a wonderful nursery. I moved my son there by chance when his nursery closed down unexpectedly and I couldn't be happier. It is clean, well equipped and the staff are top class. Such a warm, friendly atmosphere and my son loves it.

Exceptional staff in the under 1's room, enthusiastic, happy, committed and caring.
My child has settled in so well and thoroughly enjoys his time at nursery.
The facilities are great. (With our new sensational room!) yet could always be improved!

My son has been going Stockwell Gardens since 2016 and I have had no complaints to raise, but praises on how this nursery has nurtured my son and has taught him so much.


He's in his last months until he starts reception and it's going to be sad to leave.


The staff have been great and the Manager

has done a wonderful job. She is so approachable, as with every staff member. I am always greeted with a hello and how are you.


The children get great nutritional and healthy meals and snacks. All made fresh from the chef.


They encourage parents to participate in a lot of activities with the children, for example, reading to the children to stay and play.

We love Stockwell and our son (aged 2) loves it too. The staff are friendly and caring and he does a range of interesting activities. The manager is lovely and cares about the children, parents and staff. It is also very well equipped, with a garden and soft play room.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.876)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.876) out of 10 for Stockwell Gardens Nursery & 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.908 for Stockwell Gardens Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (128 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.908

  • 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 4.968 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Stockwell Gardens Nursery & Pre-School 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.4 = 0.968

  • 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.
