July 2, 2021 at 12:00 amOur son started to go to Kentish Town Day Nursery when he was 8 months and loved it so much. We are moving out of London so cannot keep him at this nursery but are very sad to leave. The staff is incredibly kind and caring and our son loved going there from the beginning. He was always so excited to see his key carer in the morning and will miss her a lot. He learned a lot from the other children and the activities offered by the nursery and seemed to have great fun there. I would definitely recommend this nursery and wish we could have the same where we go now! The management team is also amazing; the Nursery Manager is really good at communicating with parents, very involved with the children, and definitely passionate about what she does. Thank you so much to her and all the team!

September 21, 2021 at 12:00 amGreat nursery with a range of activities for the children including yoga, bilingual classes and painting. All records of the child’s activities, eg sleeping, eating, nappy change are conveniently tracked via an app that is updated daily. There’s a diverse and friendly team of carers who have a genuine interest in the children.

September 27, 2021 at 12:00 amA great place for my child to improve her social skills. The staff are great at making things easy to learn, whilst keeping it fun and creative which helps to keep her engaged. I was worried as my daughter came from another nursery but the staff were so welcoming that she ran in on her first day without saying bye and cried when she had to leave. Her key person in Toddlers was amazing and my daughter talks about her all the time. She has now been in preschool for 1 week so it’s hard to comment but she is definitely still very happy and I would unreservedly recommend the nursery.

October 4, 2021 at 12:00 amI had two daughters in this nursery and one has just gone to primary school. The preschool was very good at making sure that my daughter was prepared and ready for her new adventure and cannot thank them enough. My youngest is in the toddler room and she has come out of her shell so much since being there. The staff in the room are amazing with her and she literally runs into the room every morning. I could not recommend this nursery more as it is so lovely and the staff are amazing.

October 15, 2021 at 12:00 amFantastic experience, dedicated staff who are highly enthusiastic and caring. My son absolutely loved his time at the nursery and our experience on every level was first class. Incredible staff who obviously enjoy and are passionate about early years. Cannot recommend more! Thank you Kentish Town.

November 15, 2021 at 12:00 amFabulous nursery – our daughter has been here since she was 9 months (now 14 months) and she has the most wonderful time. My husband and I both work full time and were anxious about her spending five days at nursery but it couldn’t be better; the staff adore her and keep her so busy, and she has grown so much in confidence and independence since joining. The babies spend lots of time outside in the garden, have heaps of activities to enjoy – such as yoga and Spanish music lessons, and the room even has a wooden slide/climbing apparatus and ball pit! We receive a daily report of her nap times/meals/nappies and activities which is very helpful and reassuring. Thank you team Kentish Town Day Nursery & Pre-school!

November 26, 2021 at 12:00 amWe love this place. Our son joined this March in Toddler room later than we’d intended due to Covid, which then collided with the birth of our second son … but despite our timing being less than perfect, the staff here were brilliant at quickly getting the measure of him and devoting their love and attention to settle him in. We felt really well supported by his keyworker from the beginning and he’s now loving Preschool and I get the sense that he sees the staff as his friends and allies! His confidence has grown tenfold since being here and it is so so nice to see, so we feel very grateful to the manager and her brilliant team and we are looking forward to sending our second little person too.

March 21, 2022 at 12:00 amWe have had two kids now attend Little Garden Nursery and I really cannot recommend it highly enough. I’ll talk about our youngest child as that’s more recent. He’s been in the baby room for over 6 months and the smiles on both his face and his key worker’s every morning say it all. He’s not just looked after, he’s loved and really cared for. He does a range of different activities that I would never do at home with him and it has really aided his development. It’s not been easy for the nursery to negotiate the many different covid scenarios but they’ve done it very respectfully and carefully. Whenever we have any problems or concerns with our son, the nursery addresses them straight away. I recently had to go away at the very last minute for work and the nursery couldn’t have been more helpful, fitting him in for extra days at extremely late notice. No childcare in London is cheap but I don’t mind paying the money to the manager and team because of the fabulous service they provide.

April 1, 2023 at 12:00 amWe’ve had our daughter at Little Garden Nursery for 2 years now (started at 10 months old) and I couldn’t rate this nursery highly enough. Our daughter has been able to develop and establish strong relationships with all the staff and kids in her class. The staff really care for each child and it’s been amazing to see her treated like family. She’s absolutely flourished under their care and grown to be quite independent. The range of activities is always changing and there’s no shortage of new things she comes home telling us about. The communication between management and parents is outstanding, especially during the pandemic. We’ve also been able to get to know the staff in each of her rooms as she’s progressed and have always felt in-the-loop with how she’s getting on. From the moment we drop her off, to the end of the day the entire team seems to have the highest energy levels which the children really feed off of. If there was a way to rate this better than 5 stars I would!

April 4, 2023 at 12:00 amOur child has been at the nursery for over a year. They love going to the nursery and happily mention the name of the staff members as well as other children.
The nursery provides various activities and reflects the child’s progress via their app.

April 4, 2023 at 12:00 amWe cannot recommend Little Garden Kentish Town more! Our son has been there for almost 2 years now and is treated like a family member. The care and kindness shown to him by this key worker, the other practitioners/teachers and the management are exemplary. Each morning is greeted with a smile and there is always such an interest taken in our home life as well. We have a new daughter who will be starting there in January 2024 and we feel so lucky that she will be able to experience the same environment and the same support as our son. A special mention to the Practice Manager, she has such a busy and important job yet always replies to emails and exhibits great empathy and care with her responses and the service she and the nursery provide. We feel so fortunate to have found Little Garden Kentish Town.

April 4, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth my kids have attended Little Garden The Kentish Town Day Nursery and I have been absolutely satisfied with the way the staff runs the day-to-day activities as well as how the management communicates with us parents. Both of my kids have learnt great manners and increased their educational and general knowledge. We always felt that our kids were in good hands.

April 4, 2023 at 12:00 amExcellent nursery. Wonderful staff. My child loves it and is thriving. Communication is fantastic and I go to work knowing my child is well taken care of. This is a truly fantastic nursery, and I would highly recommend to any parent or carer looking for a childcare setting for their little one.

April 4, 2023 at 12:00 amExcellent nursery, our daughter is in the preschool room. They provide a wide range of structured activities including phonics, so she will be very well-prepared for school. Can’t fault the place. The staff are all very dedicated and caring. Highly recommend.

April 4, 2023 at 12:00 amThe best review we could give is probably from our 2-year-old who loves Little Garden. He can be a clingy child but he is completely happy and comfortable at the nursery. He loves the staff, goes in happily, comes out smiling, enjoys the food and sleeps well there. They do so many lovely activities – yoga, Spanish, dancing, creative stuff, messy play and playing outside. The staff are all absolutely lovely and so engaged with the children. I am 100% happy leaving my little boy in their care.

April 5, 2023 at 12:00 amMy little one has not long started the nursery and I could not be happier. The baby room team are absolutely incredible with my daughter, the love and care they show her is so heart-warming. Already my daughter feels comfortable that she is forever smiling and babbling away to the team; it is so joyful to see. I have felt reassured right from the beginning and the communication from the nursery is wonderful. It is a beautiful nursery with so much love and passion for the children. Thank you to the Manager and the team for all that you do

April 11, 2023 at 12:00 amOur 7 month old daugher has been at the nursery for a couple of months now. I cannot recommend the nursery enough, the team are amazing with her. We love bringing her to the nursery knowing she is recieving wonderful care. The best part for me is when our daughter goes into nursery she smiles and puts her arms out to the staff collecting her. The parent app is amazing and the direct communication from the nursery is spot on.

April 25, 2023 at 12:00 amI would rate this nursery 100 stars. It’s an amazing place with loving staff, great administration, a warm and kind environment and healthy and tasty freshly-cooked meals! We’ve been to all three rooms and can’t thank the staff enough. When I pick up my boys, they look so smiley, occupied and busy with their fun activities. It’s a happy place for the kids, and it gives peace of mind to parents. I love everything about this nursery: their emails, communication, open days for parents throughout the year, menus, graduation days, hygiene, kid’s activities and lots of love that kids get there. It’s such a relief when kids are happy to go to the nursery every morning!
