Thank you for your review. These early years are precious, and time does fly! You are your daughter's lifelong teacher, and we thank you for letting us be a part of it. We always strive to make learning magical through creativity. Don't forget we have a Kids Play Now Club based in the Eltham Centre, mornings Monday to Friday during holidays too for 1-8 year olds so we can still keep the magic going even when at Primary School. Watch out for our Crafty-art Graduation Party! It's a tear-jerker but also a celebration of becoming a 'Wise Wizard'!

We do small group activities focusing on early communication and language. It's wand-erful to hear that you believe your child to be thriving at Crafty Wizards Pre-School. Thank you for recommending this to others, as a small set of pre-schools that have grown in the Eltham and New Eltham area it really does help when generic larger chains move into the area. Did you know that we provide snacks all day for our children, fresh, organic, locally sourced where possible fruit and veg, along with dry snacks and milk/ water? Thank you for taking the time to write us a review.

'Overall amazing'. Our team will be over the moon on their broomsticks! Thank you for taking the time to write this review. Settling in can be a tricky time for some children and parents. We have social stories, transitional objects and a range of strategies in our cauldron. Our staff have had training in attachment theories, it is lovely to hear that you think your daughter is now settled and that she loves our activities. We look forward to our annual Magical Movers Day, Equality Week, Healthy Body Happy Me Week and Graduation for our leavers.

We want our Crafty Wizards to have fun, be safe in a caring environment and enjoy learning about the world around them - we want to make learning magical through creativity. Thank you for recognising our team and the hard work that they put in at preschool. We always say to our Crafty Wizards that 'Teamwork makes the dream work!' and to believe in the 'power of yet', with an open mindset our Crafty Wizards and the team can do anything, maybe not everything just yet, but we can in the future! We love learning and our team is always modelling this through extending their early years knowledge. Thank you for taking the time to write us a review.

Thank you for your review and for saying that our 'care of the children is exemplary'. Our staff team are consistently training to develop their knowledge and support for our Crafty Wizards. This month alone staff have been training in Forest School, Ofsted workshop in London, safeguarding course, music Boogie Mites training, Interactive Music Making and we are going to the Childcare Expo shortly! Learning never ends and nor should it! We teach our Crafty Wizards to have an open mindset and talk about something called the 'power of yet', just because we struggle at something now and think we can't do it, that just means we haven't mastered it 'yet'.

Another tear in our eyes! 5 - stars in all areas! Life is all about relationships right? Our team have watched a speech by Rita Pierson talking about the importance of relationships in life, particularly the relationship between children and their teachers. Take a look on social media if you have time. Our champion team work hard to provide learning opportunities for all our unique children. We have a range of take-home learning opportunity bags, please speak with your key person to take one home if you have not already. Thank you for taking the time to review us, please spread the word as with larger chains moving in we pride ourselves on our reputation, without you and your Crafty Wizard there would be no magic!

Wow! A review like this gives us fuel in our broomsticks to continue in our mission to make learning magical! We opened a new preschool in Alderwood in November and a creche for 1-8-year-olds, it's been a busy time, and a review like this makes us very happy. We are still a small set of 'family' style pre-schools, and management and our director are all early years trained, we are not a large corporate chain and like to think that we have a big heart and strong local connections. There is no greater endorsement than 100% recommend! We never sit on our laurels though, look out for new initiatives and opportunities coming soon, including a February half-term club! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review.

It is fabulous to hear that your son never cries when coming to Crafty Wizards when previously he struggled with going to nursery. Our staff use a range of strategies to help support settling in and confidence. We are happy to read that you have been seeing our daily updates with activities set up and the children in action. If you are not yet signed up to our parent portal please do ask a staff member, here you will be able to see our observations and assessments too. Look out for information on our February holiday club coming up, we have been working hard to offer an amazing week for our Crafty Wizards and families that need childcare during this time. Thank you for spending the time to write us a review.

Wow, you have a unique angle, having experienced care in 3 previous nurseries. It is an honour to receive your 5 stars in all areas review and state that your son is now 'thriving'. The manager, Senco and team work extremely hard with our unique Crafty Wizards, their families, outside agencies and a lot of behind-the-scenes, paperwork and planning. This review will really bring a tear to our team because they are all working at Crafty Wizards Pre-School because they care and want to give our Crafty Wizards the best opportunities now and for their futures. Thank you.

We love smiles at Crafty Wizards! We are so glad that your son settled in quickly after a troubled start at another nursery. We are always thinking of new ways to plan activities around the interests and needs of our Crafty Wizards. Some of our pre-schools have celebrated Chinese New Year, Winnie the Pooh Day and Pizza day is coming up too! We have just ordered caterpillars for our spring learning activities, our 'Farm in a box' learning opportunities are on the horizon too! July will be here before you know it and although it is a sad time saying goodbye, we have a magical celebration at our Graduation for our leavers!

Thank you for your review, it's heart-warming to hear that you 'cannot recommend enough' Crafty Wizards Pre-school. We are a small set of 'family style' pre-schools, not a large chain, your positive comments and word of mouth really do help support our efforts. We work closely with local communities, businesses and schools. We are planning to meet up again with local groups to encourage intergenerational learning opportunities! Thank you again, there is no magic with out Crafty WIzards and families.

'Above and beyond'! We do aim high at Crafty Wizards and promote this with our children, we have a song about this for our Crafty Wizards that we sing: "C-R-A-F-T-Y, Crafty Wizards come let's fly..... Let's aim high, touch the sky, there is nothing we can't try...." We believe in open mindsets and that if we can't do something now, it doesn't mean that we can't, we just haven't achieved it 'yet'. That's the power of yet! Thank you for taking the time to review us.

We do work hard to support all our unique Crafty Wizards. We have been shortlisted by the National Day Nurseries Association for how we support children in play, with a focus on those that need additional support with their learning. We use strategies from I-Can, Small Talk, all our staff have received Makaton training this year and we have a number of strategies to promote early communication. We value parent partnerships so it is very fulfilling when we read a review like this, it will be shared with the team. Thank you.

Five stars in all areas! We have been shortlisted for the Play & Learning – Supporting Children with SEND by the National Day Nurseries Association and they interviewed us yesterday asking, "What do you want your children to be able to do when they leave pre-school". The answer for us is to have children that want to learn and enjoy it, have grown in confidence, independence and resilience, have the tools to make healthy attachments and connections with peers and adults. It is magic to hear that you have seen your daughter's confidence and independence grow in such a short time and a parent's recommendation to other parents is always heart-warming to hear from our hard-working team. Thank you for taking the time to review us.

Your five stars and magical words mean a lot, thank you. It is heartwarming to hear how your son is enjoying Crafty Wizards Pre-School. We hope that you enjoyed our superhero event and hope to see you and your son at our Crafty Cakes event for our Crafty Wizards and parents. Also, look out for a guest popping into pre-school shortly too! We will be supporting transitions to primary school this coming term in role-play, stories, written reports and more. Graduation will be here before you know it but we also encourage families to keep in touch, some of our Crafty Wizards are now teenagers!

Wand-er-ful! Thank you so much for your five stars in all areas review. We do aim to give the personal touch, not being a large chain we pride ourselves in our mangers and team knowing the interests and needs of our Crafty Wizards. We have a number of events coming up to celebrate our ten years and provide opportunities for our parents to come into our pre-schools again. Our next event is our superhero day. Look out for information. Soon there will also be... a Crafty cakes day, disco day, magical movers week and graduation! Oh and we do forest school once a week and play phonics now too! Have a magical day!

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.779) out of 10 for Crafty Wizards World Pre-School - Eltham is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.979 for Crafty Wizards World Pre-School - Eltham is calculated as follows: ( (93 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 95 Ratings = 4.979
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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Crafty Wizards World Pre-School - Eltham is based on 8 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 = 3.8
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 25 number of registered child places is 5, which has been reached with 8 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.
