  • 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.

We had both our kids at Weir Link. The current staff and the director and deputy director are great, showing so much care and dedication to the children. I was really touched by something that happened recently. Our small child had his finger trapped in a door and had to go to hospital for an operation.
The deputy director phoned my wife twice in the evening, when her job was over, to inquire how our little one was doing. We were really impressed with how caring she was. The staff also thought carefully and prepared solutions how to protect our kid's hand when he returned to nursery. He is now all fine and very happy to be back.

I'm really happy with the nursery in all Aspect. If I have to find something that could be improved I would suggest to don't change key persons so often. I believe kids need to build up a relation with the key person and any change means to start this build up from scratch.

With our eldest now at school, we are repeating the Weir Link journey with our youngest, who, having been there a matter of months is really blossoming under the care of the staff and brilliant management. Lately, my daughter has not wanted to leave, which speaks for itself! The staff know each child
inside out and show the utmost care, going above and beyond. It is a wonderful nursery.

We currently have our second child at Weir Link and there was nowhere else we would have rather had her cared for after such a great experience with our first, who really blossomed in his time, setting him up perfectly for school.

My son has been at the nursery for over 18 months now (I think!) and he absolutely loves it. My daughter is signed up to begin in August and I know too that she will love it. We couldn't ask for more from the staff at the nursery. Regardless of any problem thrown at them, things run very smoothly indeed.
My son's social skills, speech and early learning skills are more progressed than children I know of a similar age that do not attend such a good nursery. At drop off I always look in the kitchen and it is spotless! When perusing the newsletter I can see that they have a packed activity schedule and my son is always bringing home bits of art for us! When we ask the staff for help (potty training/stop biting other children etc.) they are very good at reinforcing what we are trying to do at home.

My grandson has attended The Weir Link Nursery from the age of 13 months to 3 years and 10 months. During his time there, I have witnessed his amazing progress and ongoing development under the care and supervision of a professional and extremely caring team. Although there have been several staff changes,
the team has been led by the Nursery manager who has always shown passion for her job. Whenever I dropped off or collected my grandson from the Nursery, I was always made to feel welcome and kept informed of any necessary information. I look forward to experiencing their continued commitment when my granddaughter attends early in 2019 at the age of 11 months. Well done indeed and THANK YOU, The Weir Link Nursery!

Our kids have been attending this nursery since very early. We have seen the nursery grow and improve every year. The staff and direction have done outstanding work, and the result is there for everyone to see.


We think our kids are better thanks to you.


Hearty thanks.

Both our children have attended The Weir Link nursery and we couldn't be happier with both the teachers and the management. Our eldest is now at school (started nursery at 9 months) and our little one is in the Baby room. Daily varied activities to stimulate the children, a lot of personalised and loving
care, a solid organization in the background: this nursery feels like family to us. They offer an extraordinary value for money (they have been awarded Outstanding by Ofsted) considering the prices of other nurseries in the area. We are very proud of all the achievements of these last years and couldn't recommend them highly enough.

We have been at The Weir Link for a few years. It's a great nursery and our kids are really happy there. The activities they do are really good. My daughter loves it so much she doesn't want to leave when I pick her up!

My eldest son went to The Weir Link from 9 months until he left for school and he loved it. When we had our youngest a year ago, it was an obvious choice to go back. I was thrilled to see how much the nursery had come on under new management, but even more thrilled that some of the staff that my eldest
had loved were still there and now look after my youngest. The nursery space and garden are wonderful, the staff professional and I always feel like my son is as loved and cared for as he would be at home. That's all you can ask really!

The Weir Link is an outstanding nursery. We have been particularly impressed at the level of care given to all of the children by the staff - your child is truly treated as an individual rather than just a 'number'. The range of activities which the children partake in is really impressive and there
is a significant focus on children's development through learning and play, even at a very young age. We love getting the weekly updates of what the children have been up to and our 14 month-old daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting at the nursery. We feel very lucky to have her at such a wonderful nursery!

We are very pleased with the Weir Link.


Our eldest daughter thrived there and is now doing well in reception academically and socially which in large part is because of the dedicated staff at the Weir Link and their complete focus on children and their development. The nursery improved a great

deal over the 4 years our eldest daughter was there and is now a very well functioning and organised place. The staff are friendly, open and most important of all, caring. They are clearly motivated and from the outside, it seems that they are made to feel valued by the nursery's management. I appreciate the child learning plans, the feedback to parents and the activities both indoors and outdoors. We had no hesitation in choosing to send our second daughter there from a few months ago and we are as pleased with the care she gets now as we were with our eldest.


It's nice to be able to get a chance to provide this feedback to the nursery and the staff: they're a class act.

A close-knit nursery who are dedicated and committed to each child and their development! They are very transparent and inform you if there are any concerns regarding your child. I would definitely recommend this nursery to friends and family! My daughter had a wonderful experience and will miss it
once she has started school!

A great nursery with lovely, caring and welcoming staff. My son started here on his 1st birthday and 1 and 1/2 years later, we are still over the moon. He settled into his new routine very quickly, thanks to the amazing staff and all his transitions have been seamless. He looks forward to his time at
nursery every day!

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.
