  • Weir Link Nursery & Pre-School, London
Rated Outstanding by Ofsted (November 2017), Weir Link Nursery & Pre-School provides childcare and education to children from birth to 5 years old.

The Nursery is situated inside The Weir Link community centre, not far from Clapham South tube. It's a bright, open plan setting with separate areas for different age groups and a large garden.

The children enjoy lots of varied activities with the experienced staff, from messy play in the mud kitchen to sensory ice, yoga, science experiments, growing herbs, and more! Parents get involved too, reading stories to the children in their first languages.

A dedicated chef provides all the children's meals using recipes from LEYF’s nutritious menu.

Our son has developed amazingly over his time at Weir Link Nursery & Pre-School. The days are well-structured and helped him get into a routine. The staff are all really friendly, good with communicating, and have an individual plan for each child. They also go beyond the regular activities by helping
with suggestions for home learning and organising special things like walks in the local area, and activities around events like the coronation. Overall, we’re really happy!

Reply from Dhanvanti Deshmukh, Nursery Manager at Weir Link Nursery & Pre-School

Thank you! As rightly said, the staff team are all friendly and we want to make sure we provide amazing experiences to every child at our nursery. Due to our limited outdoor space, we take the children out into our community - visiting local parks, library, or just for a walk in the buggies which children thoroughly enjoy. We recently had a farm experience for our children and they were amazed to see the farm animals in their garden.
Thank you

My son has been going to Weir Link Nursery for a year, and he's thriving. His language and social skills are developing fast, he has bonded with the staff, and he has made friends among the other children. I'm very pleased with the care he is receiving on a daily basis, and he seems quite happy as well!

Our daughter has just transitioned between classroom's and whilst it was sad for us to leave the lovely baby room behind, our daughter has already settled into the new room (thanks to the gradual transition the team use) and is really enjoying her time. I would echo the other comments regarding a family
feel but also emphasise the focus on development and tracking the progress the children make, the new online app has been a big step forward for this as well. We're looking forward to sending our second daughter here when the time comes.

My husband and I are very pleased with our choice of this nursery for our two kids. The staff are very focused on the babies, friendly and approachable. They organise fun and creative learning activities for the babies to encourage language and physical development. They also give us useful feedback
on the kids’ progress and tips on what to do at home. Our toddlers are always happy to go to nursery and attached to their carers!
I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents!

Excellent place for children, my child is progressing so well.
My child is comfortable and coming out of his shell so much, so independent and loves going to nursery at The Weir Link, he has built a strong bond with all the staff.

Weir Link nursery under the management team is the best nursery we could have hoped to send our children to. They are professional, caring, and run a tight ship and the activities and facilities for the children are really excellent.
We have been impressed whenever we visit and we're confident our
kids are developing very well there. They are always happy to be taken to nursery in the mornings. It's not just when things go right - when things go wrong (illness, bumps and scrapes) Weir Link is in touch quickly, they have a plan and a clear process so everyone knows what to do. Overall, an amazing nursery and I unreservedly recommend them.

The staff at Weir Link are like an extended family and make my son feel like their family.
They care genuinely and passionately and seem to really love their jobs working with the children.
We receive brilliant and regular daily feedback on the daily activities and progress or areas to try to help
work on with our son.
The facilities are great and activities varied and the real winner for us is the large outside space.

The nursery has a family feel. The management team are welcoming and always available. The nursery is small but the rooms are always set up well for the children to use. My son settled well, as everyone made me feel comfortable.

My toddler attends Weir Link Nursery and I can only sing its praises, especially due to the staff. The environment itself is great with a lovely outdoor play area and a close by playground and park. Every day there are different and interesting activities set up, so I feel my very inquisitive son gets
ample opportunities to explore, be creative and learn. The wonderful staff is very caring and quick to communicate feedback on my son’s day and other relevant matters. The manager is also really great as she is always engaged with every child and is often in the room playing with all the kids. (My son’s previous nursery did not have this kind of engagement from the manager). Overall, we really lovely this nursery.

Both my children (boy and girl with very different personalities) go to The Weir Link and they really like it. Staff are kind and adapt to your child's personality and learning preferences to get the best out of them. Wouldn't go anywhere else!

My son has had a thoroughly enjoyable experience while at the Weir Link Nursery in Balham. From the planning and implementation of the activities provided, to the mental and physical development of my child. It has been exceptional. My son's verbal, listening and writing have improved significantly
during his time at the nursery and as a result he is very happy and confident in himself.

My son has been in this nursery for over 7 months and I can see how he has developed his learning/social skills significantly. The staff is always very friendly and caring. I wish they could earn more money as they deserve it. I have also seen an improvement in its cleanliness since last year. I will
recommend this nursery to friends and family as I feel that my son is very well looked after. Thanks.

Both our daughters are in Weir Link Nursery and are very happy there. Every day they are doing interesting activities and they both really enjoy going. Our youngest daughter only recently joined the baby room and it didn't take long for her to settle in. The teachers are always very friendly and you
always get an informative account of your child's day at the end of the day. The children also really enjoy playing in the outdoor garden and the older children go on an occasional outing to the library, local shop or church. Both nursery teachers and management are very engaged working with the children and motivated and you really get the feeling they care a lot.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.940)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.940) out of 10 for Weir Link 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.940 for Weir Link Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (235 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.94

  • 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 Weir Link Nursery & Pre-School is based on 21 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 47 number of registered child places is 9.4, which has been reached with 21 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.
