  • The French Nursery School and Our Spanish Class, Les Chatons, London
The French Nursery School – Les Chatons – was established in 1996 after the founder was inspired by toddlers in her family learning to speak in a number of languages and switch seamlessly between them.

Now with over two decades of experience, Les Chatons' aim is to create an engaging environment where children's self-esteem and confidence are encouraged.

The nursery is proud to be rated Good by Ofsted (November 2022):

"Children are happy in this home-from-home, nurturing environment. Staff greet children enthusiastically with smiles and cuddles as they arrive at nursery. Staff have clear, strong bonds with the children and their parents. This enables children to feel safe and secure. Children are well supported in developing their independence."

We were extremely impressed by Les Chatons from the day we enrolled our daughter to the day she left. Over almost two years we have seen her develop every day and felt comfortable knowing she was in a warm and nurturing environment. We particularly valued how personal and caring all of the staff were
and how our daughter would look forward to going to nursery in the morning. The growth in her linguistic skills would not have been possible were it not for the approach adopted at Les Chatons. We strongly recommend it to our friends and family.

Our son had a wonderful 2 years at Les Chatons. The caretakers really get to know the children well and I felt that it was a very intimate personalised environment. The groups are small which means the child gets a lot of attention and any concern from the parent is attended to immediately. My son felt
very comfortable at the nursery and made really good friends. The activities and school outings were really great (visits to the library, fire station, police station etc.). I was also very happy with the hygiene level practised at the nursery.

Lovely setting and has very kind, trustworthy and gentle staff. My daughter and son went there and now speak French well in spite of it not being the mother tongue of me or my wife. The manager runs it with a lovely family feel to it, and is always responsive and engaged.

I highly recommend Les Chatons. My child was extremely happy there, and I was very pleased with the overall level of care, attention and cleanliness at the school. The staff are very friendly and patient and my child was always happy to go there. It is an outstanding nursery and we are very sad now
that our child has to leave to attend a bigger school. We have already recommended Les Chatons to friends and will continue to do so.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.443)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.443) out of 10 for The French Nursery School and Our Spanish Class, Les Chatons is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 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 4.843 for The French Nursery School and Our Spanish Class, Les Chatons is calculated as follows: ( (60 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 70 Ratings = 4.843

  • 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 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The French Nursery School and Our Spanish Class, Les Chatons 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 24 number of registered child places is 4.8, which has been reached with 6 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.
