I would highly recommend Crafty Wizards Pre-School. My child took a while to settle and the staff worked so hard to help my child feel comfortable and confident. I feel they have listened to my child's interests and needs and in return I have a child who is happy and wants to go to nursery. The staff
are very approachable and easy to talk. They make themselves available at both and drop off and pick up. Thank you Crafty Wizards!

Reply from Management team, Magical Management at Crafty Wizards Pre-School - Avery Hill Park

Thank you so much for the lovely recommendation! We're delighted to hear your child is happy and thriving at Crafty Wizards. We understand how important a smooth settling-in period is, and we're so proud of our team's dedication to each child's individual needs. We appreciate your kind words and are thrilled to be part of your child's journey! Please tell friends and family. We have so many events coming up in the next few months: 'Big Questions, Tiny Tunes' parent event at our creche, a 'Hop Till You Drop' Easter community event with an Egg hunt and our FREE activity days.

Both my husband and I want to send our thank you and just say how grateful we are for this term with our youngest at Crafty Wizards. As they are aware, he is not our first child, however, this is his first experience of being away from us as parents. From the moment he started with your team at Crafty
Wizards, until today walking through the door our little boy feels nothing but love, warmth, and a safe environment he can flourish in. On top of that, any time I have had any questions, queries or anything I need answering, you, yourself, have been incredibly helpful in assisting us in what we need.

Reply from Management team, Management at Crafty Wizards Pre-School - Avery Hill Park

Wow, our team will be spell-bound at this review and will give them extra sparkle for 20-20THRIVE.

We look forward to a magical learning journey ahead, look out for events coming soon! Please let family, friends and neighbours know about what we offer at Crafty Wizards, our holiday club, on-demand hourly childcare and our new nursery from children from 3 months.

My children have been attending this preschool since 2018 and they offer amazing care, learning opportunities and fun activities. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend, it's an outstanding setting and my children thrived at Crafty Wizards.

Reply from Management team, Magical Management at Crafty Wizards Pre-School - Avery Hill Park

Fantastic pre-school, amazing staff, they are accommodating and very kind. They have helped my son's speech a lot. They have helped boost his confidence and his sharing skills, he absolutely loves pre-school and looks forward to going. Couldn't recommend Crafty Wizards Avery Hill more than I already
do! Keep up the amazing work all!

Reply from Management team, Magical Management at Crafty Wizards Pre-School - Avery Hill Park

The manager and team will be over-the-moon on their broomsticks to read this review! They work hard to make learning magical through creativity. Thank you for your recommendations - as a small set of childcare settings Crafty Wizards was founded locally, by a local teacher and we really do value community. If you didn't get to join us at our Christmas Community Market look out for more exciting festive opportunities at Crafty Wizards. We have evening children's workshops which are popular and give you the magic of time! Follow us on social media. Thank you for your warm and kind review.

My child absolutely loves it here, he has made a lot of friends and he is always excited to go. It's a great place, the staff is always helpful and friendly and as a parent, I couldn't be happier with our choice.

The environment and the staff are excellent. I have seen great improvements in my boys and am very pleased with the development so far.
The activities and social media/IT platforms are also a very good policy that gives a very good insight into the activities my wards are engaged in. I would always
recommend Crafty to people.

Reply from Crafty Wizards Team, Magical Management at Crafty Wizards Pre-School - Avery Hill Park

What a magical review. We also have termly stays and plays for parents to see a snapshot of our day. We have an open-door policy and welcome conversations at any time to come and speak about your Crafty Wizards development. You are your child's lifelong teacher and we value strong partnerships. Our outdoor space might be small but we take regular trips to Forest School, the University of Greenwich's allotments and outdoor initiatives, and of course Avery Hill Park just opposite where we had a magnificent time at our magical movers day with our Crafty Wizards and families.

Fun activities are free such as a bonus for lovely staff members, I would recommend Crafty Wizards to everyone it's amazing my child has learned so much and is doing very well her speech has improved and I am very happy.

Reply from Crafty Wizards Team, Magical Management at Crafty Wizards Pre-School - Avery Hill Park

5 stars in all areas, thank you. Our small and dedicated team and management always want to make learning magical through creativity. As a small set of pre-schools, we are not a large corporate chain. We have been running in the Eltham area since 2011 we care about partnerships with parents and the local community. Set up by a qualified teacher born and living in Greenwich, we think we know our community, we are small enough to care and large enough to make a positive difference. It is always special when we hear a parent say that their child is progressing well and feels nurtured and cared for.

Cannot recommend this preschool enough! My son has attended for the past 2 years and is leaving to go to Primary School prepared and ready to take it on. My son loved attending all the trips to the park, forest school, library, sports day, and bus trips. The staff have been amazing, nothing is ever
too much trouble and the communication has been great through the app and email.
Sad for my son to leave but know I will be sending my youngest when he is old enough!

Reply from Crafty Wizards Team, Magical Management at Crafty Wizards Pre-School - Avery Hill Park

We love our park trips, Forest School sessions, and local visits too! Our small team will feel wonderful reading your kind words. Our Graduation for our leavers is always a time of mixed emotions, seeing the progress that has been made is real magic but we are just the start of your child's magical learning journey. Thank you for taking the time to write this.

As soon as I visited Crafty Wizards I felt immediately comfortable that my son would be safe and happy here. The staff are very welcoming and are aware of how it feels to be a parent to let your little one go for the first time. All of the staff have gotten to know my son and have shared observations
that I, as his mother, have also noticed. I love that I get to see social media photos of him during the day. They set up lots of activities and have a large selection of toys children can access and make their decisions about play. Highly recommend.

Such a great nursery. The staff are super friendly! My son attended Crafty Wizards for 2 years back in 2019 and my daughter attends now and are both so happy there. They have both learned so much from this nursery. I highly recommend this nursery!

Reply from Crafty Wizards Team, Magical Management at Crafty Wizards Pre-School - Avery Hill Park

Sending a second child is praise enough, it shows that you felt happy and secure with us.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.977)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.977) out of 10 for Crafty Wizards Pre-School - Avery Hill Park 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.977 for Crafty Wizards Pre-School - Avery Hill Park is calculated as follows: ( (129 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.977

  • 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 - Avery Hill Park is based on 11 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 25 number of registered child places is 5, which has been reached with 11 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.
