Hatching Dragons Nursery City of London

I have consistently had faith in all of the care she receives as she consistently appears cheerful and comfortable with the team. She learns a excellent deal daily and I can see that the team are very engaging with the kids. She enjoys the food she is given and really enjoys the various activities. I am consistently impressed by the variation in activities. The childcare centre has been extremely supportive during the coronavirus pandemic and in particular to the key workers during the hardest months. I am very cheerful with the care our daughter has received and very much suggest this childcare centre. Our daughter has been attending Hatching Dragons for just over a year.

The team at this childcare centre is incredibly compassionate, supportive and enjoyable. My daughter was very loved and was consistently cheerful to arrive. The indoor space is full of enjoyable activities.
The team takes safety very seriously, particularly during the Covid period. My daughter became an expert hand-washer and I credit the childcare centre for teaching her this habit.
Outdoor space is limited though the team consistently brings the kids out to the nearby park for fresh air. My only gripe is the building itself is probably not ideal for a childcare centre as one has to navigate many stairs, particularly at the entrance where many have to manage a buggy and a toddler discovering to walk. This is of course not the fault of the childcare centre though. My daughter came to this childcare centre during lockdown due to Covid, while our regular childcare centre was closed.

Our little boy joined as an 8-month-old and people in the baby room have been nothing but excellent. We would have never expected the teams to be so nice and attentive! Our little boy has never been so jolly and cheerful while the team also made sure we, as parents, felt comfortable.
They give kids a welcoming, multicultural and stimulating setting.
Also, as an organisation, Hatching Dragons is very transparent and has shown to have sound health and safety processes, thereby building trust that our kid is secure at any time.
Would suggest any day! Hatching Dragons is a top-notch childcare centre.

One in fact started in the school in Westminster before moving to the City as we moved closer to that branch. And I have to say, all throughout, the care, adore and attention given to my kid/kids have been second to none. My little boy couldn’t have wanted better carers – he started at 9 months or so and has flourished into a determined but considerate and highly communicative little boy: attentive, courteous (as much as a 2-year-old can be) and capable and I put most (if not all) of that down to their care. And my little girl started at the same age. Now in preschool, she sits happily with our Chinese books that have oral pronunciation tools built-in, pointing at the characters and objects and happily communicating what I know, from the books, to be the accurate pronunciation of the object. It’s incredible and I have no doubt that the skills she’s learnt here will last a lifetime – thanks to the manager. Thanks to the team! Two of my kids attend Hatching Dragons City.

We were lucky to find this place in the city of London which provides him with a excellent bilingual setting. All educators in Hatching Dragons are very supportive. They do care about each kid.

In addition, the location is excellent for kids to explore the Barbican and Museum of London. My son started the discovering journey in Hatching Dragons Nursery when he was 13 months.

As well-intentioned as the caregivers are, we haven’t found this to be the case. It seems more like a handy creche. They like the kids, though, and that’s important.
However, there seems to be a double standard when it comes to illness at HD. When our kid was in for their settling in period, there was another kid with a streaming nose, nasty, persistent cough, and streaming eyes. This kid gave our kid strep because we had similar symptoms days later. We kept our kid home, everyone fell ill, and we lost work.
Yet when our kid attended after a course of vaccinations where a fever is normal, we were sent home despite the childcare centre knowing this. We were then sent home two days later when we came back because, apparently, we had to send the kid off for a PCR test – something that wasn’t communicated to us. Communication needs help.
The building is inaccessible with buggies and they don’t do cloth nappies either. Hatching Dragons markets itself as kid-led and nurturing.

We were nervous at first, but he settled in straight away and absolutely loved the place. The team are so compassionate and easy to deal with, and the kids were consistently busy with so many activities, games, songs etc. I’m sure the additional exposure to mandarin has been beneficial to his language skills too. It was also lovely to get photo updates on the app every day. I would have liked to have known what types of food he was eating though (the app only tells you how much they ate). My only other issue was it was hard to get up and down the stairs to the buggy storage area, but otherwise, I would highly suggest this childcare centre. Our 1-year-old son attended Hatching Dragons for 2-months because of lockdown.

As soon as we approach to the front door of the childcare centre she starts jumping from excitement. As a first-time mother, the manager and the team made me sense reassured and at ease. The team are incredible, and it seems that they all adore their job. They consistently have a big smile and are very approachable. My daughter has developed so much in the little time she has been there. Despite the nursey not having an outdoor garden, the kids are taken out every day to local parks, soft plays and museums. Daily online logs with pictures allow me to see what activities my daughter has done throughout the day, how much she ate and drank. I cannot suggest this childcare centre enough! My daughter absolutely loves this nursey!
