Our son has been at this nursery for 6 months now and we are very happy with the care they are providing to him. Thanks to the staff, he has settled in very well and is always pleased to see them when I drop him off in the morning! Due to healthcare reasons, his development is behind but since he has
been at Junior VIPs, he has made good developmental progress and the staff have worked with us and other professionals to help him progress. We are also very happy with the communication we get from the nursery. When we have a question, the nursery manager always responds quickly and provides the information we need. The staff are always friendly and genuinely care about the children. When we've visited the room is always clean and there are engaging toys and activities for the children. The food provided is varied and our son seems to eat well there.

This nursery is hands down the best in the area. The level of care they have provided my child and the amount of progress she's made since being here has been amazing. My daughter can be very picky about who she likes and can be comfortable with, so the fact that her key workers are some of her favourite
people speaks volumes about how well they look after her. She always has a smile on her face after drop off and pick up so I know she looks forward to going there and always has a good day.
The nursery itself is organised well and super clean, they're always bringing the community of parents together, in addition to celebrating their diverse staff and children by running multicultural days every month.
The nursery manager knows what he's doing and you can tell just by how happy the staff are and how well they all get on.
I'm super grateful for two members of staff in particular - what a dream team! My child has quite literally grown up with them and as a mum, I couldn't be happier!

My daughter has had an amazing time at the nursery and I am really happy with the level of care.
You can feel the genuine care and warmth from all staff members, I was initially anxious about sending my clingy 13-month-old to nursery but she fully settled in no time. The staff worked with me, especially
around her sleep routines, and are flexible to accommodate parent needs.
Junior VIP is a great nursery and a hidden gem in Croydon.

My daughter has been with Junior VIPs Nursery since May 2021 until May 2023 and the only reason why she had to leave was the house move.
The staff have been always caring, friendly, showing great interest in her interests and personality.
Feedback given to parents was always thorough. Everyone from
management to room practitioners demonstrated outstanding communication skills.
We were very keen (so was my daughter) on a numerous number of daily activities which helped her developed in various areas of learning, arts and crafts being the strongest link!
Cleanliness and the equipment of the rooms has with no doubt been kept to the highest standards. The garden is huge, safe and well-equipped, which can be considered a great asset in this part of the borough.
Social events are held every now and again which enables parents to see the learning environment, indoor and outdoor facilities as well as meet other parents.
We will hugely miss it and will struggle to find a new nursery as brilliant as VIP!

We have just moved house and so had to take our daughter out of Junior VIPs. We absolutely loved the nursery, the team, and most importantly, so did our daughter.
There were hugs and smiles from her first day to the last (and even some tears from us at the end!). The staff were so great in the toddler
room, and then the team in pre-school continued the amazing work. The management team were so flexible and always willing to help. We will miss you all very much, and my daughter is still talking about you all. A family feel and an excellently run place that is a 10/10.

I would like to say thanks to all staff at Junior VIPs Nursery for such amazing care and support! Both of my children enjoyed their time at nursery a lot. I am grateful for all you have done, especially for my son, who has already graduated. He was not an easy one to handle, but we have been given amazing
support. My daughter is still there and loving it - always talking at home, especially about two amazing teachers. The management of the nursery is also great; we have been always supported. Extremely happy with this nursery and always recommend it to our friends!

Very happy with this nursery. My son is in upper pre-school and it's very organised and the lesson plans are well-thought-out. I wasn't keen on the location of the nursery which they obviously can't help but when you go inside it's a beautiful, welcoming space with staff who are engaged in their role.
I viewed many nurseries in Croydon, some more well-known but this nursery definitely stood out for their genuine care and passion for advancing the kids' learning. Thanks for all your hard work Junior VIPs' staff.

My experience of this nursery was that this nursery was very convenient for me when I needed to get back to work after many months of having a newborn baby as a first time parent. It has excellent teachers who are very professional and knew exactly what was required of them first hand. This nursery
really helped me. I would recommend all the services provided to any first time parents as you have a really good service. The location where it is situated is excellent and very reliable if you are a working parent. Thank you for looking after my toddler. Job well done to management.

Since my daughter has been in this nursery I have had nothing but trouble from them and have had to complain to Ofsted, whether it be them giving out my personal data without my permission, or refusing to give me information regarding my daughter or more recently calling me a third party and not allowing
me to have access to their accident log, picking up my daughter and either her shoes being put on back to front or soil in her underwear from not being cleaned properly. I would not recommend this nursery at all.

Reply from Radhika Mithia, Director at Junior VIPs Nursery

We appreciate your negative feedback, which we take very seriously. The nursery policies are dictated by the contract which the parent has signed and the guidelines and recommendations from Ofsted. Our principal priority is to look after the health, safety, education and welfare of the child. We always try to improve our services wherever possible. The management team disagrees with the comments the reviewer has made which are unfounded and the nursery has the full support of the contracted parent of the child in question. You also appreciate that the child in question continues to enjoy and thrive at our nursery. There has never been a breach of any data protection legislation and the reviewer has been provided with all appropriate information recommended by Ofsted in respect of their child’s education and welfare. However, we are sorry to learn that you feel you have had a bad experience with the nursery. The management team will be happy to meet with you and discuss your concerns.

I cannot recommend this Junior Vip’s nursery enough. My daughter joined aged 3 and my only regret is I didn’t move her earlier. My daughter absolutely loved her time here and is very sad to be leaving to go to school in September. The Key Worker in the Preschool room is worth her weight in gold! She
shows brilliant commitment, knowledge in EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) and really listens and knows the children. It is no wonder my daughter is sad each week when she leaves. She absolutely adores the staff and describes them as kind, caring, making her laugh, this is all I could want from people looking after my child while I am at work. Junior Vip really is a home away from home for my daughter and I cannot thank all the staff enough. The nursery is colourful and the garden for somewhere in Croydon is an amazingly large space. They provide the children with such a variety of activities each day where she has developed a wide range of skills and it's always fun. This is a brilliant nursery for children to thrive.

My son started at Junior VIPs Nursery in the Baby Room and he is in the lower pre-school now. His development has been outstanding. He is bilingual and his English improved a lot. He made many friends there and he loves to do the activities promoted. The nursery has a really good space for children
and an incredible garden. The staff and management are really friendly and supportive. The measures against Covid-19 have been shown to be quite effective and safe. I would highly recommend them.

I love that VIP Nursery accommodates my son's dietary specifications. I am grateful that the management and staff are understanding and listens to parents. The activities are wonderful, my son learns a lot from them. Each room my son's been to is clean and tidy with lots of toys and space. We appreciate
the reports emailed to us with our son's photos in nursery, it gives us ease and happiness to see what he was doing during the day. We felt supported during lockdown as management and staff gave additional assistance and support for our son's activities at home. They kept in touch to make sure our son is supported at home. Thank you, VIP.

An excellent nursery. Two of my children attend this nursery so we have experienced all the rooms as a family. My oldest started in the lower pre-school and her development has been astounding. She has grown up at Junior VIP and has been school ready for a while. When I pick the children up they are
always happy and well-fed. They love the staff. The staff all care for the children so well and get to know them well too. I love the daily feedback in person and by email. I love talking about their development at parent's evenings. Even with my youngest who was in the baby room and is now in the toddler room there was so much care taken to cater to his personal needs and his progress noticeable. The nursery has great facilities and a great outdoor space. Well done to all the staff and management, this is your best asset in my opinion. Thank you for your efforts in caring for my children. Junior VIPs is a top nursery.

We have been extremely pleased with the provision at Junior VIP's. The standard of care is excellent. The staff are very professional, from a variety of backgrounds and I felt extr5emely confident leaving my child there every day. The facilities are just over a year old and are of a high standard. This
is a family run nursery and this permeates through the culture of the nursery. The food is tasty and caters for different needs. You get a daily report of activity via email every day. It all ends with a magnificent graduation ceremony with gowns and mortarboards!

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.097)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.097) out of 10 for Junior VIPs Nursery 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 6 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 4.971 for Junior VIPs Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (68 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 70 Ratings = 4.971

  • 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 4.126 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Junior VIPs Nursery is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 57 number of registered child places is 11.4. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.4 = 0.526

  • 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.
