She's super comfortable and happy here. All staff are so great and helping her interact with others and helping her language journey. They make sure she's outside exploring, trying new things which is great. They've been great when I've expressed concerns with her delays in speech.

We had visited quite a few nurseries for my 18-month-old and were thrilled to find Crafty Wizards Pre-School - Bromley which unusually for a preschool takes from 18 months. We love the format that all ages are mixed together promoting peer learning and the setting is intimate and personal. The staff
are wonderful and really care about the kids. There are two gardens, one of which is a bit like a small forest school with a mud kitchen, which our little one loves. Since day 1 he's been so happy to be there with zero separation anxiety. Highly recommend it to other parents who want something different to the usual nursery format.

Reply from Management team, Management at Crafty Wizards Pre-School - Bromley

We are newly welcoming 18 month year olds and it has been a delight! Our caring and passionate team work hard to ensure that our Crafty Wizards settle, we understand how important transitions are and forming relationships. Thank you for taking the time to write a 5 stars in all areas review. Please tell family and friends about Crafty Wizards; we are not a large chain and value close links with the community. Watch this space for our Easter events coming soon!

Our little boy has been at Crafty Wizards Pre-School Bromley for a few months and we couldn't be happier. The staff are all super friendly, and I really feel that they care for the kids and help them develop their little personalities.
We feel very lucky to have found Crafty Wizards, the staff are
kind, caring and supportive of the children. They create a lovely environment full of fun and laughter.
There is a real balance between learning and play, he has grown so much emotionally and socially.
He always feels comfortable and safe with the staff, and as a parent I could honestly not ask for more.
We are pleased to highly recommend Crafty Wizards Pre-School Bromley and believe it has provided the perfect foundation for our son to continue his journey in life. It's a superb, warm and nurturing environment where he has flourished. We are hugely grateful for the support and thank you for all your hard work and care!

Our daughter has had the most amazing experience at Crafty Wizards. She looks forward to going in and truly enjoys all the amazing activities and fun with her friends and teachers. Every day there are new activities, which are so well thought out and my daughter loves the surprise every time she goes
in. All the teachers are incredible, so kind and caring and really have supported my daughter through her settling into the school and her development/enjoyment of the school in the way they play and interact with her, they truly are so engaged and fun. They have also been so great with discussing with myself with ways that we can work together to have made the settling in work for our daughter. Love the social media page; our daughter also loves to see her pictures - showing us all her activities of the day. My daughter also loves the structured routine of the day, ranging from free play, to carpet reading, circle time, garden time; lots of diversity and fun.

Reply from Management team, Magical Management at Crafty Wizards Pre-School - Bromley

5 big stars in all areas. Thank you for taking the time to write such a heart warming and detailed review. Our team work hard to make learning magical through creativity. We think learning should be fun and spell-binding! We are opening our doors to 18 month year olds, please let friends and family know. We are a small set of childcare settings, not a large corporate chain which there are so many of now, even buying up space in local schools. We believe that we are small enough to care but large enough to make a difference. Thanks again.

My daughter has been attending Crafty Wizards Bromley for almost 2 and a half months and has made a huge progress in her social and physical skills.
The educators at the site has been amazing at helping her settle into the new routine. They have been very understanding and responsive to her needs.
I also love how the set up changes every day and that outside play is highly encouraged.

Reply from Management team, Management at Crafty Wizards Pre-School - Bromley

Thank you for your glowing 5 stars in all areas. The team work hard to support every unique Crafty Wizard. It is spell-binding to hear that you think our practitioners are amazing and that your daughter has made huge progress. We have recently just enjoyed our Community Christmas Market and have lots more planned in the next week and New Year. We love to make learning magical through creativity, learning and creativity is always a magical journey, not an end point destination.

Reply from Crafty Wizards Team, Management at Crafty Wizards Pre-School - Bromley

Glittering 5 stars in all areas- magic! We have just spent even more money on creative learning opportunities, a chalkboard table, tyre toppers, painting easels, den-making materials, resources for the mud kitchen, and lots more! We are enjoying our holiday club right now and have our 'Magical Movers' week coming up soon, along with end-of-year celebrations and Graduation! Thank you for taking the time to write this review.

The Crafty Wizards team is wonderful. Our daughter who is 2 and a half has flourished in this setting after two failed starts at two other pre-schools where she was unable to settle.
The team has succeeded while other local settings were not able to meet our daughter's needs. They have been extremely
patient and understanding with our little girl who has anxiety, as well as a language delay. They worked with us to settle our daughter who now happily walks into preschool with a smile. The regular updates give us peace of mind knowing our daughter is settled and happy. There are different activities every day that keep our daughter engaged and intrigued.
Crafty Wizards is inclusive, creative, enthusiastic, and adapts to the needs of the individual child, focusing on their strengths, embracing their individual quirks, and understanding any additional needs they may have.
I can honestly say this is one of the most inclusive, caring settings I have come across, with the nicest people.

I am very happy with the school that my son goes to, as he himself says, my school is really magical. The girls are cooperative, they pay a lot of attention to my son. Whatever happens, they will let you know. They will explain everything to you, everything is very clean and neat. They play very nice
and beautiful games, Creative, all the best for.

I would 100% recommend this preschool.
My daughter loves her mornings - playing and learning/exploring fun.
They have different activities for them each day, they keep you updated with pictures.
All of the staff are amazing.
The manager is lovely. The first time that I and my husband visited
the nursery, the nursery was not done but we were sure that my daughter would go there because I loved the manager she was really kind!

I cannot fault the staff they are amazing. They have improved my child’s development in a short amount of time which is absolutely outstanding. All the staff are lovely they greet us on every visit.
I have made the best decision to move my daughter from another nursey to here and I don’t regret it.
I don’t have much to say as I cannot fault this nursery and the staff! I would highly recommend this nursery without a doubt.
The team are an asset to your company.

Reply from Matthew Byrne, Director at Crafty Wizards Pre-School - Bromley

Our child has been going to Crafty Wizards Bromley for a few months now, and we have been so pleased with this preschool. She loves going to school and can’t wait to tell us about her day on the walk home. The staff do a great job at coming up with a variety of educational and fun activities to fill
the day. It’s so nice to see photo updates throughout the day. The staff are very attentive and kind. Can’t fault the care and education at Crafty Wizards Bromley!

Reply from Matthew Byrne, Director at Crafty Wizards Pre-School - Bromley

Thank you for your five stars in all areas, magic! Our first term in Bromley has been perfect.

Please do let friends and family know how we make learning magical through creativity. We are a small set of family-style pre-schools, not a large corporate chain, and it is through parent praise that we have grown. Thank you for taking the time to write this review.

We have been very pleased with Crafty Wizards Bromley. We had heard great things about their other sites in Greenwich and were so happy that a centre opened near us. Our little one loves ‘going to school’ and can’t wait to see what exciting activities await. The teachers are very friendly and informative.
They are always sure to create a variety of fun and educational activities and learning with lots of outdoor play. Love being kept up to date with photos throughout the day. Overall, we are so pleased with our choice and happy to be part of the Crafty Wizards Pre-school community.

Reply from Matthew Byrne, Director at Crafty Wizards Pre-School - Bromley

Thank you for your magical review! It is spell-binding to hear that you heard about our glowing reputation - we have been in the Top 20 for parent recommendations on day nurseries since 2016 in the small nurseries category in London and the UK! As a small set of family-style pre-schools positive word of mouth has really helped us grow and offer more opportunities for our families. We have just finished our successful October holiday club and look forward this term to our focus on celebrations and our pumpkin carving competition! Look out for our sound wall outside coming soon. We have worked hard on our grassy outdoor area with learning displays and outdoor resources such as our play stage, mud kitchen and mini-beast area. Thank you for taking the time to review us.

Crafty Wizards took over from a previous team (Christ Church Preschool) in September 2023 and they have been great so far! My 3-year-old daughter loves attending the preschool and always comes back with colourful crafts and positive stories to tell. The staff are friendly and professional and communicate
well keeping parents up to date on the activities on a daily basis (via secured social media group). Their opening hours are convenient for us and we have work commitments. I would definitely recommend Crafty Wizard Bromley!

Reply from Matthew Byrne, Director at Crafty Wizards Pre-School - Bromley

Thank you for your review. We have put lots in place in only a couple of months to add extra sparkle to the site and outdoor space. Have you seen our back grassed area? Our amazing child-focused displays and learning opportunities? We also have plans for a music wall and another planting area at our front outdoor play space too. We invite you to come in and have a look around when you next drop off and we can do a learning walk for you. Did you know that we have locally sourced and organic fruit and veg for our children and dry snacks accessible all day? Management is heavily involved in our pre-schools and would love to invite you in for a discussion on how we strive to make learning magical through creativity. Hopefully next time we will get 5 stars in all areas. Thank you for taking the time to write this review.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.939)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.939) out of 10 for Crafty Wizards Pre-School - Bromley 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.939 for Crafty Wizards Pre-School - Bromley is calculated as follows: ( (168 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.939

  • 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 Crafty Wizards Pre-School - Bromley is based on 15 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 15 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.
