This is the first nursery I have decided to send my daughter, it's coming up to 2 years now what I love about Purple Lion Day Nurseries is the planned activities every week, staff really make an effort and we get to see videos and pictures on Family App. Recently the little music videos shared by them.
I have visited few times, and as a parent I felt the warmth and love within the staff and children. The nursery is very clean and very organised. I attended the Christmas party in December and that was amazing, service provided was perfection. Food and company, staff interaction with parents was good. My daughter started going out for little trips which I normally wouldn't allow other than me and my wife, but the staff take good care of these children. I would recommend this nursery to others.

Really happy with the nursery overall and the thought and care that goes into everything the staff do. Our girls are very happy there and enjoy the various activities they put on for them. The staff genuinely care which you can see reflected in the happiness of the children. The location is also great
for days we have to travel into work, as it's not far from the tube.

My son has been attending the nursery for one year now, and I was able to notice positive changes in his development and overall behaviour from day one.
He enjoys going to nursery and is excited for every day.
Heartfelt thanks to his key worker, and rest of the team involved in my son's education.
Your dedication it's not unnoticed.

Although our daughter was only at the nursery for one term (due to moving house) she had such a wonderful time there and was made to feel safe and secure throughout her time. Developmentally she came on in leaps and bounds too!

My daughter started nursery in April 2024 at Purple Lion Day Nurseries and enjoyed every single day. They do lots of activities, crafting and also have a nice garden. The staff is very friendly. She has learnt lots of new things and every day I am picking her up she is very happy.

Our son has been here for over 2 years now and receives outstanding care and attention. He has some speech delay and requires specific support, the care he gets is absolutely first class.
We know that every day our son goes to Purple Lions Day Nurseries, he will be looked after and loved. We are so
happy with the care that our 1 year old daughter will also start here next month!

The care the staff give our girls is second to none, and we are very happy with this nursery. There are some things that could be improved - they don't do much in the way of extra curricular trips/outings like some nurseries do, and the outdoor space isn't the biggest. But for the location (so close
to the tube station) it's fair. We would highly recommend this nursery.

Amazing and wonderful nursery. My daughter has learned so much in such a short space of time. She looks forward to coming here and is so happy, fulfilled and loved here which makes me so at ease to leave her in the lovely staff's hands. Such caring and patient staff who clearly love their roles.

Lovely team who clearly care about the children. This was an important factor when choosing a nursery in the area. After 3 months of my son attending the nursery, he's settled and his first smile of the day happens at the entrance.
Thank you all for your patience and constant communication.

My son has been at Purple Lion Day Nurseries for 2 and a half years since he was 1 and he is so happy there. He needs some extra support and the nursery have been amazing in helping with applying and advising us as well as supporting him on a day to day basis. They have adapted activities for him and
been very understanding, caring and supportive. The staff are always smiling and happy along with the manager and the area manager, they have all been there to help and support and very hands on.
It's a joy to see my son so happy to go into nursery in the morning with big huddles from the staff.

A lovely nursery with very supportive and caring staff.
Good outside space considering the location and handy car drop off space if you need to drive and only 2 min walk from the station.
Inside it is light, big and spacious so plenty of space for the little ones to run around.
They keep us up to
date with weekly photos and videos and provide individual updates.
We are so glad we chose this nursery for our little girl.

I cannot express enough how wonderful Purple Lion has been for my son since he started attending at just 19 months old in September. The staff are incredibly caring and attentive, creating a warm and nurturing environment that makes him feel safe and happy. He attends two days a week, and I can already
see how much he has grown and developed in such a short time. The activities are engaging and age-appropriate, fostering his curiosity and creativity. I am so grateful for the positive impact that Purple Lion has had on my son's early learning journey, he'll be moving from the baby room into the preschool room in the new year and I know he will absolutely love it. Highly recommend!

Lovely nursery. I was very nervous about putting my little girl into a nursery setting as I didn't know how she's get on but she started in October and settled in straight away. I feel she's very well cared for and has learnt so much and grown in confidence.

It's a wonderful, warm and inviting environment for our baby boy. He enjoys playing in the baby room so much and the staff there are so incredibly kind and friendly to him. They treat him with lots of care. The nursery had a wonderful Christmas party recently and we really enjoyed watching our son play
will all the activities. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

Purple Lion is a fantastic nursery. I can't believe how much my son learns each day and the activities they do. He loves all his teachers and clearly feels so comfortable with them. They give so much attention to all the children and they seem to have so much fun. My son has thrived so much since being
there at 11 months and I can't thank the nursery enough. I will be so sad when he leaves next year for school and I know he will too.

My child has just started with the nursery. I have visited and assessed quite an impressive list of nurseries and I am very happy with my choice. They have a very spacious room, bright, clean, and well-equipped. A very clean kitchen is allocated next to the room. The garden is small but very lovely.
I have seen lots of activities so far to encourage children to learn new things. The staff are lovely and cooperative. Especially I like their morning conversation session with children, which helps children to learn new words and talk. Personally, for me, I didn't have enough time to spend together with my child in the nursery to help her to settle in. Hopefully, she gets used to it quickly.

We have been incredibly impressed with the Nursery since our child started in October 2024. There is a great energy which runs throughout the nursery, and all members of staff are very caring and engaged. Our toddler has settled quickly and is happy to go to nursery each time.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.949)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.949) out of 10 for Purple Lion Day Nurseries (Buckhurst Hill) 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.949 for Purple Lion Day Nurseries (Buckhurst Hill) is calculated as follows: ( (373 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 393 Ratings = 4.949

  • 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 Purple Lion Day Nurseries (Buckhurst Hill) is based on 33 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 33 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.
