The initial visit to Red Robin was very positive. The Head Teacher was warm and welcoming, and the preschool room teacher was very knowledgeable about the Montessori curriculum, which I appreciated. However, my experience with their administration was disappointing. On my son's fourth day, he had a meltdown, and despite emailing to request updates and photos, my message was ignored, with no response or acknowledgement. On two occasions, staff members who didn't know me handed over my child without verifying my identity, raising security concerns. Updates on my child's day were rare as again he was often handed over by staff who weren't familiar with his routine. The most troubling incident was when my child became ill. I reached out to ask what he ate that day, but the response was vague and lacked transparency. Consequently, I was unable to trace what, if anything made him unwell. Due to poor communication, lack of accountability, and security concerns, I cannot recommend this nursery.

My son has been attending Red Robins for a year. He has a good relationship with the staff who are professional, friendly, and caring. I feel comfortable leaving him. There are a lot of activities for the children to take part in. Good communication and video/picture updates of your child's learning journey via the learning journals app. Overall I am satisfied with the service.

Outstanding nursery. My 3-year-old daughter is very happy there. All staff doing a great job, they love children and create a very friendly and supportive atmosphere that positively affects kid's development.

Red Robin is a lovely nursery and our daughter has settled in brilliantly over the past 6 months since she started. We were so nervous about her starting childcare and being able to sleep and eat well without us there but the staff are brilliant, helping her to get used to her new environment and enjoy all the activities they offer. There is a huge garden and in good weather the children spend loads of time outside, and the different age groups mingle all the time so our daughter has friends from the baby room right up to pre-school. She has learned so many new words and great new skills through playing. Best of all, when we went to pick her up this week she didn't want to leave as she was having such a lovely time - what could be a better recommendation than that?

Our 4-year-old and 1-year-old go to Red Robin. The staff are amazing and approachable. They look after the children like they are on their own. Good communication and an open-door policy. Our children have learnt and developed so much from being at the nursery. Our children have particularly loved the large outdoor space and the Montessori toys. I would recommend Red Robin to friends and family.

Wonderful staff that clearly love all the children. The nursery is like a family. Any concerns are addressed quickly and they help to support your wishes in order to merge home and nursery life. My daughter is always excited to go to nursery!

We love this nursery. My daughter has thrived since being there, and the staff are so friendly and loving. From the moment I stepped in, it felt like home, and they had a big garden for them to play outside.

We loved Red Robin Montessori and would definitely recommend it! Our daughter initially went to another nursery, which had problems and closed, so we were nervous about finding a new one. We were recommended Red Robin and the experience couldn’t have been more different, it was so much better. We felt peace of mind from the start. Leaving your baby will always be hard, but knowing you’re leaving them in a caring environment with kind, loving staff who know what they’re doing makes a huge difference. Many of the staff have been there for years. It has a lovely big garden, which is rare for London and was one of our daughter's favourite things. She’s at school now but still mentions nursery and told me the other day she missed a member of staff, the garden and the food! Red Robin certainly helped her development too, from toilet training to writing her name. She was able to flourish. There were always lots of great activities and some really special occasions, such as sports day and the nativity, which we’ll remember forever.

My son goes to this nursery and really enjoy the time there, they have great teachers and best educational methods and they have a big garden for outdoor activities. Management really helpful. Highly recommended this nursery.

My daughter is very happy at Red Robin and has been there for 14 months (she is now just under 3). She has grown in confidence and I can see her learning and developing in the way she plays and interacts with others. Red Robin staff have always been supportive and helped a huge amount with potty training. My daughter has developed relationships with the children and adults there, which is beautiful. We were really drawn to the facilities, especially their hall and the garden. I love that they have a weekly dance class too, which my daughter enjoys. My only point of improvement would be to get more feedback on her daily activities there.

Overall we had a good experience and we are very pleased with the nursery and the staff. Our daughter seems happy and looks forward to meeting her teachers and friends. Very friendly and caring staff who try to accommodate parents special requests when possible. We would highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter started Red Robin in May at 10 months old. As a first-time parent, I was apprehensive about leaving my daughter and returning to work. The Red Robin staff were really supportive and encouraging through the settling in process. They have also been proactive in sharing my daughter's development with me on a daily basis. Throughout the warm summer, the children have been able to enjoy the large garden and the exploration has encouraged my daughter's confidence to grow. The key thing that drew me to this nursery was the longevity of the majority of their staff. It is encouraged that children get to know all key workers in the nursery over time and it has helped my daughter become more comfortable with people outside of the nursery also. This for me is the key to her development. Overall, we feel our daughter is thriving at Red Robin and are grateful for all they do as a team.

My son is really happy and he improved a lot since he started the nursery.He is eating better now. The staff is polite and helpful. I’m very pleased with our choice to take our son to Red Robin Montessori.

My child is quite shy, but with the help and encouragement from the brilliant staff members at Red Robins, my child eventually came out of his shell. My child started the nursery at just months old, he made his first steps at the nursery, he began to make friends and he grew an attachment to certain staff members due to the continuous extra care and support they showed towards him. I appreciate that every step of my child’s growth was captured and uploaded onto his learning journal. As he progressed, the more positive things he had to tell me at the end of each day when I would collect him from nursery. There were times his day was filled with so much enjoyment, he wouldn’t be ready to go home. Seeing all of this made me feel at peace for leaving my child in care for such long hours. Thank you to all members of staff at Red Robins. You’re all appreciated and I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

A great nursery! The nursery teachers are lovely and supportive, they’ve taken time to get to know and understand my daughter. Always willing to offer tips and advice when asked, but never impose. She is developing so well and really looks forward to going to nursery and seeing her friends and teachers. There’s regular events throughout the year where parents are invited to the nursery to spend time with their children and see the amazing work they’ve done, as well as socialise with the teachers and other parents. The children are fed balanced meals and sent home with a report everyday so you understand what they’ve eaten, when their nappies have been changed and any other relevant information. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to send my daughter to Red Robin Montessori!

My little one has been with Red Robin for 3 years and has loved it. The staff are so wonderfully fun and friendly. His language, numeracy and phonics are fantastic and I am sure he is very well prepared for school. They helped us through potty training, allergy foods and separation anxiety. They've made special gifts to celebrate milestones. The food is excellent and he often asks for seconds. The garden and communal hall are what grabbed me when we first visited. Such huge open space and the kids love it. My son is thrilled to spend so much time outside. The garden is his favourite.

I cannot praise this nursery enough - it’s such a hidden gem. The staff are absolutely lovely, they really care about my son’s well-being and take great care of him. He started when he was one and had no issues settling in - he really loves it there. They have such a passion for supporting children through their development and helping them achieve those milestones. My husband and I are always welcomed into the nursery with lovely events, such as sports days, Christmas plays and summer fairs - they also do an annual parents' day where you can come in and meet with their teacher and just have a chat about how they are doing - although we’ve been told we can request this at any time. The building itself is so lovely with a large hall where the kids all have home-cooked lunches together and a huge garden to play in - this was the best nursery I visited by miles in the Thornton Heath area.

Staff are very friendly, polite and professional. They listen to your child's needs and provide the service he needs. I would recommend this nursery. My son has made improvements since he started the nursery, his mood, his behaviour and also massive development.

Both my children received so much love, care and attention whilst they attended. We are very sad that our son had to leave as we moved but are grateful nonetheless that he got to be part of the nursery. Our daughter left with a great head start to school. We will always have fond memories of Red Robin Montessori and it's staff!

The best nursery, amazing staff, home from home. I viewed quiet a few nurseries at the time and Red Robin Montessori hands down blew me away. I have peace of mind at work knowing my daughter is well looked after. The staff are caring, friendly and super helpful. My little girl has developed and learned loads in a short space of time and not to mention they are excellent at working with you to toilet train your toddler. They serve healthy meals and have extra activities such as football and Spanish as well as guest speakers and activities on special dates. My daughter loves going to the nursery every day and can't wait to see her friends and teachers. The staff keep you informed of the activities via an online learning journal which I find to be super helpful and enjoyable to see my little girl so happy playing. Highly recommend this nursery! Also, it is a 5-minute walk from Thornton Heath station.
