My daughter has just completed a year at Kings House Nursery from age 3 to 4. I was impressed from my first viewing. Whilst other nurseries did viewings outside of opening times, Kings House showed me around during the morning whilst the children were in class. I was able to see the lovely nurturing
environment and how different groups of children were engaged in meaningful activities. The building and gardens are beautiful and well-equipped. The children are given mostly healthy snacks but also occasional treats. I also liked the online platform for sharing updates to know what the children have been up to each week. It has been a pleasure to see my daughter grow in confidence in their care. Thank you to the manager and the team for giving her such a positive start to her school life.

Amazing nursery with the best teachers. They care for my daughter like she is their own, it's a joy to send her here. Every day the teachers welcome us with a smile. We get daily/weekly updates of what our child is doing at nursery as well as what she will be doing for the term. My daughter has a lot
of energy and I found this nursery was perfect for giving her some structure but still having loads of fun! I can't recommend this nursery enough!

The absolute best nursery I’ve ever seen. The staff go above and beyond for the kids there. My son learned so much and it was a positive caring nursery environment. I don’t know one parent that wasn’t impressed and happy with King's House Nursery. I can’t recommend them enough.

Incredible nursery with amazing staff.
You can see and feel the love from everyone that works here.
They are really engaging with our little son and care for him like one of their own, it’s so reassuring to know he’s safe and happy.
I honestly can’t praise or recommend this nursery highly enough.

Absolutely amazing nursery! My son thoroughly enjoyed his time at the nursery! The Teachers and all the staff are first class - if I could give 10 Stars I would. If you are looking for a nursery in the Richmond area, look no further!

My girl has been in the nursery for 2 terms (both caterpillar and butterfly class), starting from speaking no English, too shy to speak to people after a long covid stay at home period. To my surprise, she settled in straight away, running into nursery without looking back every morning, even asked
me to cancel the summer holiday because she wanted to stay in nursery! The nursery staff are so supportive, they are really taking care of and monitoring my girl’s development, giving honest and useful suggestions about how to bring the best out of her, never rush, very gentle, I can tell they have a step by step plan of getting her language out. We can’t believe after just two terms, she’s now a chatterbox, and even received a 4+ assessment offer! Most importantly, thanks to King’s House Nursery, my girl has developed a very positive attitude in going to school, which I think will benefit her in the long run.

Our daughter started nursery without knowing English.
The nursery staff are really gentle and understanding for my daughter and for us as parents. They are really lovely and they always encourage us to settle at the nursery.

Our son has had a wonderful experience at King's House Nursery, the nursery heads and their team have made his introduction to nursery a very happy affair - they are all so welcoming, kind, patient, and caring. We continue to be impressed by the wide range of intellectually stimulating and fun activities.
We really appreciate so much continual feedback via weekly letters, updates and the parent app. The nursery always appears clean and tidy and the children look very happy. A huge thank you to everyone.

King's House Nursery School is a very special place. From the teacher's genuine smiles that greet you at the start of the day to the beaming smile from my daughter upon pick up every single day, I am delighted to have found what I believe is the best nursery in Richmond. Underpinning it all is a very
clear outline for gentle yet structured learning objectives and a team that is wholly on board to provide your child with the best possible care and attention for those few hours they are away from you.

King's House Nursery is such a lovely nursery where children are nurtured, supported and encouraged and the communication with parents is excellent. The staff is warm, welcoming and very engaged with the children and their families. Both our sons attended and received an excellent preparation for school.
The teachers put a lot of thought every day on the activities they prepare for the children which are fun but also help them develop all the skills they need. I would highly recommend it.

Amazing staff that truly care about my daughter’s wellbeing and development. I love that my daughter runs to the front door every morning itching to get to nursery. She loves her teachers and enjoys taking part in daily activities like planting sunflowers and dancing and singing to nursery rhymes. King's
House is a happy nursery that nurtures their pupils. We definitely made the right choice in deciding to send our little one here.

Kings House nursery is a wonderful environment for children to learn and be nurtured. One of the things I most value is the fact the majority of staff have been there a long time. My daughter absolutely loves going to the nursery every day and even asks about attending at the weekends! If you are looking
for the best in terms of care and facilities, look no further!

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.169)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.169) out of 10 for King's House Nursery 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 4.875 for King's House Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (21 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.875

  • 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 3.294 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for King's House Nursery is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 59 number of registered child places is 11.8. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.8 = 0.169

  • 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.
