View Full Details of Hatching Dragons Nursery WestminsterI had both my children attend this nursery and I must say I am extremely happy with the way they have developed. My son left to school very well-prepared. They offer a wide range of different experiences for children from experimenting with different materials to educational visits and much more recently. The nursery over the last year has changed and developed a lot. Will recommend to any parent who is looking for a nursery where they feel their child is in good hands and is constantly progressing.
Fantastic loving nursery. My daughter is in the preschool room and is so happy - she runs in every day. I have been so impressed by the quality of the teaching, activities (including regular trips out in the local area), how smoothly mandarin is integrated (a new language for my daughter but she's picking it up and never struggles to understand what's happening) but most if all the genuine affection from the staff and how well they know my daughter as an individual. I wish we'd sent her older brother there!
The staff are amazing, they are fully dedicated to the kid's development and they love to spend time with them. I always see them enthusiastic about their job, I have full confidence that my kid is well looked after. They are doing a lot and varied activities. They answer all our questions and communicate a lot with us.
We have been truly blessed with our experience with this lovely nursery and lovely staff. My baby was 12 months when he joined and they have really made it easy for us to leave our baby under their care and we have seen our child improve significantly in terms of being more sociable and more creative. Also, we have observed that he has learned all the numbers, colours, animals and he has started to make well-structured sentences in his speaking. The staff are all very nice and warm, I highly recommend this nursery.
Our little one has been going to Hatching Dragons for almost 4 months and we have nothing but praise for all of the staff. She is clearly enjoying it on top of picking up a language we never imagined she would get a chance to. Being what looks like a converted convent or a church, the facilities are amazing, offering a great sense of space both in and out, especially when compared to other central London nurseries. This combination of extremely attentive staff, great facilities and amazing value add through use of Mandarin makes Hatching Dragons a no brainer for any kid.
My son started at Hatching Dragons when he was 11 months old and loves it there. Initially, there were tears when I picked him up but now when I see him he is always smiling and happy. The nursery is a lovely room for the kids to run around in, as is their playground. It's nice that all the kids of different ages play together, the little ones learn from the older ones, who are caring of the little ones. The staff are very friendly and caring, and I always get updates when I pick him up. He is obviously very fond of them too. He learns so much there, and I'm always amazed when I see what he has learnt. As a first time mother, I was a little anxious about parting from my little one for the whole day but Hatching Dragons has made me feel at ease with how caring they all are of him and how fond he is of them.
My kids who are three years old have been at Hatching Dragons Nursery Westminster for four months now and are very happy there. They've made very good friends from day one and so have the parents. They spend all day painting, playing, doing yoga, learning Mandarin and English, reading books, learning and are having the best time. So much so that I have to bribe them with snacks to go home most days. Hatching Dragons Nursery Westminster has fantastic facilities inside the nursery, several very spacious rooms with lots of toys and space to play. Outside area is functional too. It is also very secure. Parents receive reports and photos every day via the app and verbal feedback at pickup, also we are given lots of artwork and things kids have made that day. All the teachers and managers are loving, very friendly and everyone has their key person who provides in-depth feedback to the parents about kids' development and progress. Operating hours are well suited to working parents too.
Hatching Dragons Nursery Westminster is a very nice nursery with lovely teachers and management. Always a good atmosphere. The daily routines are fixed, which gives comfort for the child as well as for the parent. Everyday we receive daily logs for the day including nice photos and videos with descriptions of what the child has been up to.
Thank you so much for caring and loving my son. He has learnt and grown a lot for these four months. At home, he doesn't stop singing and I am learning new songs from him! He really enjoyed the nursery. One thing I was disappointed with was the breakfast - cornflakes and rice cereal. Those are high in sugar and salt for toddlers but the nursery uses them even if I have requested not to give them to my son. But, overall, great indoor/outdoor space and lovely staff. Thank you very much.
Hatching Dragons Westminster is fantastic! It has been wonderful in so many ways for my son (who has just turned 2), and for us as parents. The staff are outstanding: their energy constantly amazes me, and they are always thinking of fun, creative activities for the children to do. They clearly know each child so well, picking up and talking about their particular and personal aspects, and adapt activities to meet their needs. The settling in was done with so much love and care. My son regularly talks happily about the nursery staff and talks about how he 'loves them so much'! I'm additionally amazed at the mandarin that he has already been able to learn there, having only been there part time for a couple of months.
My daughter loves HD Nursery, she loves her friends, talks about the staff and her activities all the time! She has become very confident, enjoys looking after the babies and is proud to know so many Mandarin words already. We feel very confident having her there, the team is warm and friendly, the food/menu is healthy. I wish you had opened earlier! We strongly recommend HD Nursery.
I would very strongly recommend all parents to check out Hatching Dragons Nursery Westminster as we think it's the best nursery our son could have got. Our son joined the nursery a year ago when he was 9 months. It has been great to see him through the journey so far; becoming more aware, learning to walk, and then speaking many words in Mandarin and English. He is most excited and eager about going to nursery every morning and wants to stay longer and play in the evenings when we go to pick him up. He loves all his teachers, friends and activities, especially in the outdoor space. The teachers and management team are extremely professional, very kind and loving and see our son as family, just like he sees them.
Hatching Dragons Westminster has become our extended London family, and my wife and I could not recommend the nursery more to any parent who believes in providing his/her child with a multi-cultural, multi-lingual and caring environment from the very early stages of development. My daughter joined the nursery 7 months ago when she was 11-months-old. It has been amazing to see her through the journey so far; becoming more aware, learning to walk, and then speaking a few words in English and Mandarin! Every day she looks forward to going to the nursery, and upon pick-up, we know she has received great care and she has done lots of activities. The nursery recently moved to a new location with its own outside space and improved facilities. I am not used to writing reviews and do not give compliments in public easily, but all the staff and management team are very professional should be proud of their work, and to them go all my sincere thanks and appreciation.
My son started at Hatching Dragons Westminster at eleven months. From day one he felt right at home, crawling away to play without a moment of hesitation. It’s now a month later and he is the happiest ever little boy coming to the nursery every day, reaching out for the teachers and giving them the biggest smiles. The nursery space is wonderful with a cleverly designed inside and a large play area outside, set up with different games every day. The teachers are all wonderful, genuinely caring and obviously passionate about what they do. They are able to create a nurturing yet fun environment in which my son has already developed so much. Lastly, what sets the nursery apart is also the bilingual aspect with half of the teachers communicating with the children in Mandarin and half in English. As a non-Mandarin speaking household with a pre-verbal son I can’t really say if he’s managed to pick anything up yet but either way it’s a definite bonus to an overall incredible nursery.
Our daughter joined at 7-months. The nursery initially ticked all our needs: long hours, organic food, mandarin, taking babies. But we are delighted beyond expectations and do not mind the extra 45min journey to bring her there. The staff genuinely love the kids, are extremely caring, supportive, providing feedback and discussing children’s developments, routines etc. They ensured settling in went smoothly. The general mood is really warm and familial. The nursery continuously ensures that 50% of her carers are mandarin speakers, while there is good diversity among both the staff and children. The space is amazing: high ceilings, lots of space inside and an outside courtyard, under the trees’ shade, used as often as possible by the staff with dedicated games and activities. Our daughter loves it and is now a very energetic and social toddler who loves fruits and vegetables, music, dancing, and painting. She would not have developed those skills as much being cared for at home.
Our son has been attending Hatching Dragons in Westminster. We are delighted with his progress. We are an English speaking household, and within three weeks of attending, our son responded to Mandarin instructions and words! He started at eight months, so it was incredible how well the immersion technique worked. The staff are loving and supportive. It’s like dropping him off to his second family home.
My son has attended Hatching Dragons Westminster for almost one year and I am delighted with his progress. From crawling to walking, babbling to talking, he has received the love and support every parent wishes for their child when being cared for by others. The whole team are fantastic and I highly recommend Hatching Dragons to other families. The bilingual activities, daily outdoor trips, and thorough application of EYFS enables my son to thrive in a way that prepares him well for preschool/reception in the future. Furthermore, the plans for the new site demonstrate Hatching Dragons continued commitment to excellence in childcare and bilingual education. I am happy and excited for the coming years.
My husband and I have been sending our son to Hatching Dragons since he was 11 months old in November 2019. From settling in until currently, my son has thoroughly loved it. The staff are warm, caring and have an excellent relationship with the children. My son walks in smiling in the morning with no fuss and is often reluctant to leave! His keyworker is excellent and I trust her and the staff completely. I am very satisfied with this nursery.
Our daughter has been attending since she was seven months old and cannot wait to go every morning. The staff are wonderful and create such a happy, caring environment for the children. The staff are great at asking for and taking on board requests regarding food, etc., and providing constant updates on progress, including photographs and videos. The mandarin music sessions are particularly good and loved by the children, at which nursery staff play the piano and guitar and sing with them.
This nursery was a real family to my daughter. She used to have a big family like her grandmother, grandfather, aunts and nieces so when we came here she was so confused and nervous, but when she joined the nursery everything changed. She’s been happy, healthy and outgoing. She loves everyone in the nursery and talked about everyone at home and at the weekend, she kept asking if we are going to school with a big smile. I am really happy that I chose the best nursery ever for my daughter. Thank you so much.
