Both our children (3 and 18 months) have been attending since August 2024. The management team and staff took so much time and effort into ensuring the children's settling period was smooth and supportive for them, and us too. We have been blown away by how welcoming, friendly, and informative the staff have been - from the warm welcome we receive on nursery days at the door and extra support with toileting our three-year-old. Their communication - face-to-face, and via the app is regular and informative and it is evident they are a good team and look after one another, which is so important. Staff go to so much extra effort with events- their most recent being the circus fun day, which was fantastic. This also gives opportunities for families to chat to staff without any pressures, and meet other parents. Thank you, everyone - we really appreciate your care and support.

I really enjoy the communication and overall energy at the nursery. My son settled in quite quickly at the beginning of the year and 9months in I've seen a tremendous improvement in his speech, confidence and overall happiness since attending the nursery. His key worker is brilliant along with the rest of the staff. Highly recommend the staff, it would be great to get to socialise with the other parents more but it's so busy with drop-offs and pick-ups.

Excellent nursery. The level of care and focus on development has been continually first-class.

The Dulwich Day Nursery and Preschool is a conducive environment for learning. The staff are friendly, accommodating and smart. There are enough toys, teaching aids for kids.

Really positive experience, all the staff have been great and my daughter has settled in great.

My son attends The Dulwich 4 days a week. He spent his first year in the baby room and has recently transitioned through blooms into blossoms. He has the most wonderful time there. All the staff are so friendly, kind, attentive and caring. It's so reassuring to leave our child with people you know truly care about them and their development. We couldn't be happier.

My son has been attending since just before his 1st birthday. He has absolutely thrived through the two years he has been here. The staff have been nothing but supportive of his development and has formed great friendships with his co-pupils and a genuine bond with many members of staff. The nursery staff and management continue to go from strength to strength, and they deserve all the credit for navigating some difficult staffing shortages historically, I will have no qualms in sending my newborn here when the time comes.

The staff are so supportive, providing a safe nurturing environment. My kid has gained confidence and loves going to Dulwich.

We have been absolutely thrilled with the Dulwich Day Nursery since we signed up. The length of the settling-in period far exceeded other local nurseries and ensured my son was familiar with the set-up before starting officially. Since he started, the staff have been consistently excellent - they are kind, patient and incredibly loving towards my son. He has formed lovely relationships with staff and is genuinely thrilled to see them. We’ve also found staff and management really flexible and child-centred. He loves the food (and always eats it all!) and the updates on the app each day bring us so much happiness (especially the photos!). We have loved the recent events put on (like the Mother’s Day tea and spring fun day) which have helped us feel connected as parents. I honestly don’t have a bad word to say about the nursery and we are so grateful to the amazing team for everything.

My son settled really well at nursery and has continued to develop and thrive. Every member of the team is lovely and personable and treats my son with so much love and care. It’s hard to leave your child with other people, but I feel so assured that he’s safe and happy.
25 March 2024
Both our children are at the nursery, with our four-year-old being here since she was one, and our one-year-old being here for the last six months. We value the size of the nursery, which allows both our children to genuinely be loved by the staff, and to get time together in a formative period. We also appreciate the regular and informative communications from the nursery. The stage is always receptive and trying to do better, which makes us feel like they care about the community. While the outside space is nothing like a forest school, it is well-used and helps set up our children for activities outside of the nursery. Overall, we genuinely feel like the core staff cares for the well-being and happiness of our children.

It took some time for my 15-month-old grandson to settle, however, the staff went out of their way to settle him in. He looks forward to going to nursery each day now. He is so confident, doing the things he’s taught at nursery, dancing, singing nursery rhymes, going through books, painting, drawing. I can honestly say that since he started The Dulwich Day Nursery I have seen so much development and progress in my grandson. If you are looking for a nursery place, I highly recommend this nursery.
27 February 2024
This nursery has some of the most dedicated staff that I have ever met. They care deeply for each child and they put their everything into making the nursery a place where each child feels loved, safe and happy.

Ourselves and our daughter have had a brilliant time at the nursery so far! She has settled in really well and developed more than expected in her first few months. The team are lovely and always happy to assist with anything/any questions. We are looking forward to watching our child grow in such a lovely environment.

I can’t praise Dulwich Day Nursery enough. The key workers are all excellent. They clearly take their responsibilities seriously and prioritise the well-being of the children. I feel confident that the EYFS framework underpins their practice and there is a strong sense of professionalism I get from all members of staff. And of course, my son is always happy to go in the mornings. Couldn’t ask for more in a setting.
14 April 2022
Very caring and supportive staff. My daughter is excited to go every morning and very reluctant to leave most evenings! A great mix of play and academic preparation for attending school (in the preschool room). They have a nice mix of art, science, cooking, languages, and active play.
14 April 2022
Our daughter is very happy and has been since she started a year ago. She has grown in confidence, made friends and is learning every day, thanks to the staff at Penny Hill. The key workers have also been great and really positive. The management have been great at communicating.
12 April 2022
I cannot recommend the Dulwich day nursery highly enough! The level of care for our son is second to none; the daily activities are varied, creative and exciting - we love hearing about his day and can see how he is thriving under the care and guidance of the Dulwich day nursery team. Our son loves going to the nursery every day; he has built such a strong connection with his key workers and sees them as an extension of his family. The nursery has spent the last few months investing in brand new toys and equipment for the spaces and it’s genuinely lovely to see the staff get excited about the new tools at their disposal for all of the children. Thank you all for taking such good care of our son every day!

Fantastic nursery! We have been extremely lucky to have our two boys attending The Dulwich Day Nursery & Pre-school and could not have asked for a better place for them to spend their days. All staff are lovely and always happy to help and provide the best care for our children. Would highly recommend it!
