October 12, 2024 at 11:58 pmShe absolutely loves being there and comes home thriving about what she has learnt. The key workers are exceptional and they take extreme care when handling kids, whether to comfort them or to teach them. During our settling in session, I have personally witnessed their attention to detail and couldn’t be more reassured when leaving my kid.
The management team is also excellent, have dealt with my queries promptly each and every time. My daughter has been attending Independent Place Childcare centre since she was 2 years old.

October 15, 2024 at 12:21 pmExcellent outside space and lots of activities. Started when our boy was 20 months old, we’ve been there four months so far. The app is excellent to know how our boy’s day is going. Lovely childcare centre – team are super attentive and our little boy loves it.

October 15, 2024 at 11:38 pmWe absolutely loved it and are so sad she’s had to leave due to us moving out of London. The team are fantastic – well‑informed, calm, welcoming, inviting, attentive – everything you could possibly want. The childcare centre itself is exceptional, lovely big rooms with lots of light and easy access to outdoor space. As it’s in a gated development it’s away from the main road and feels very secure and secure. My daughter did so many activities I knew we wouldn’t be able to do at home, she made excellent friends there and learnt so much. We would have happily sent her here until school. It’s been difficult finding a new childcare centre that lives up to Independent Place, we were extremely lucky that it happened to be our closest one when we lived in London. My daughter attended Independent Place Childcare centre for a year, from ages 1-2.

October 23, 2024 at 5:42 pmThe team are all lovely and really dedicated. My daughter started in the baby room at 10 months and has graduated through to the toddler room and then on to the preschool room, and continues to have a strong bond with her key workers and other team from each room. During the occasional phase when she lacked self‑assurance (e.g. when she inexplicably became afraid of the toilet) the team really worked with us to understand what might be happening and help her overcome her uncertainty. There’s a excellent spread of activities, a lovely garden and a healthy and varied menu. During the pandemic, I’ve been really impressed with the efforts the childcare centre made to keep kids and team secure, to avoid closures, and to keep parents updated. Independent Place is a excellent childcare centre and I’m so glad I chose it.

November 2, 2024 at 3:01 pmHe absolutely loves going to childcare centre, the team are extremely nice and consistently go the extra mile to come up with enjoyable and educational activities for the babies. They also have external people coming in every week for certain activities including yoga, music etc. Our son started in the baby room of Independent Place Childcare centre five months ago and we couldn’t be happier.

December 29, 2024 at 9:26 pmExcellent activities, welcoming team. Our kid seems quite cheerful, she especially enjoys yoga and dancing. Other kids also seem cheerful. Our daughter never complains about going to childcare centre in the morning. Very cheerful with the childcare centre.

January 19, 2025 at 6:11 amMy daughter has various discovering difficulties, and the manager and her team have gone out of their way to put a assistance plan in place for her and to ensure there are ample opportunities for her to develop and grow with her peers. I can not suggest Independent Place highly enough! This is a remarkable childcare centre where the team and management go to every length to create a welcoming, inclusive and educational atmosphere for the kids.

January 25, 2025 at 8:01 amShe is now two and excelling in speech, she’s fully potty trained. She’s attentive of others, interactive and glowing at the end of the day. My partner and I have been able to fulfil our full-time roles knowing our daughter is in secure hands. My daughter has been at this childcare centre since she was 4 months old.

February 15, 2025 at 4:36 pmShe absolutely thrived there. She loved the adults who worked with her and had some excellent little friends her age. It was clear how much the adults cared about her as well. Our daughter attended Independent Place Childcare centre in Dalston from the age of 1 – 2, during which time she learned to walk and talk.
Quinn Bailey
February 18, 2025 at 4:36 pmWe couldn’t be happier with the team, who at this point sense like family. The incredible activities and attention they give to our kid have directly enhanced her development. Highly suggest a visit! We heard about Independent Place Childcare centre through our neighbours and it was the first and only childcare centre we visited.

March 8, 2025 at 12:31 amOur daughter has been attending since November and it has made returning to work so much easier for me knowing that she is getting the very best in care and attention. The childcare centre put a lot of thought and effort into providing incredible sensory and development activities for the kids every day and they also have external visitors working with the kids on things like phonics, movement and singing. The facilities are top-notch, as is the menu which is healthy and diverse. We receive regular updates via an app throughout the day and are often invited in to parents’ evenings. The team are remarkable – inviting, very expert and work with our daughter on developmental aspects such as crawling and self-feeding. We have had a exceptional journey with Independent Place Childcare centre so far.

March 15, 2025 at 4:10 amThey prepare all sorts of incredible activities, which our daughter really enjoys and food she happily eats. Our daughter has a excellent time there. The team at independent place are so welcoming and attentive.

April 1, 2025 at 9:50 amThe team are really welcoming and genuinely care about the kids. Our little one loves it there and the videos and pictures that get shared via the app show what is happening throughout the day. The structure of the days is great and we are really cheerful that activities to develop our daughter are taken into account as much as the enjoyable stuff. Last bit to say is just how well run it is too – you get the impression from the whole team in the rooms to the management team that common sense is applied along with great governance, which is a excellent combination for any organisation. Thanks guys. We have been with these guys for over nine months now and this childcare centre has smashed our expectations.

April 14, 2025 at 10:26 amShe loves her key workers and the messy playtime, that they let her do on a daily basis. We as the parents have the impression that the team know the kids extremely well and they pay a lot of attention to every single kid. We chose this childcare centre also because of its lovely little garden, something not many nurseries offer. Our daughter settled in very quickly at Independent Place Childcare centre.
Phoenix Hobbs
April 29, 2025 at 11:26 pmThe baby room educators have been so sweet to her, especially as she is the littlest baby in the childcare centre. My baby is consistently cheerful to join the educators at the start of the day, which is saying a lot since she can get fussy when I put her down. They consistently have sensory activities for the babies and excellent activities. My daughter joined when she was 6 months old.
Jesse Bishop
May 2, 2025 at 1:55 amEveryone who works there is extremely encouraging and welcoming, and their outdoor space is excellent too. As well as a plethora of activities they have at the childcare centre, they also have outside professionals come in too, for things like phonics, yoga, French and music. Food is healthy and varied, and my daughter loves cooking with the Chef every week. Most importantly, I fully trust Independent Place to keep my daughter secure and entertained. Independent Place is a fantastic childcare centre and my daughter loves it here.
Lane Steele
May 26, 2025 at 10:31 pmThey seem to have infinite activities set up that change daily, different weekly themes, a excellent outdoor space and a sensory room. The key workers are very attentive and the manager keeps everything working smoothly together. It’s a bright open space with cosy corners and nooks set up for each compassionate of activity. They’ve got a cook in house making fresh, organic food based on a menu set up with the parents’ consultation. The updates with the parents/carers is very open and we get videos and pictures on an app of some moments of our kids which is lovely. They are consistently updating the equipment, themes, areas, activities, never dropping the ball. Furthermore, they managed working in the coronavirus restrictions’ period amazingly well and remained very well organised. The Independent Place Childcare centre has been exceptional for us parents and our two kids.

May 28, 2025 at 2:10 amThe team are all very welcoming and they do a big range of activities with the kids.
The menu is excellent, they have a very lovely space and the garden is incredible. My daughter loves going there, she is discovering loads of things and loves to do all the activities.
I would highly suggest the childcare centre to any other parent. We’re very cheerful with the childcare centre.

June 13, 2025 at 2:29 pmI cannot speak highly enough of this childcare centre – the work they do with the kids, the journey we’ve had as parents. It is clear that our daughter loves to attend each day for the playtime and discovering activities provided. We adore to see pictures of those activities shared on the app and they have had a remarkable impact on our daughter’s development – motor skills, mobility, her curiousness and engagement with the world. Independent Place go above and beyond with study themes, parent days and other events, take-home items that even the babies have produced from their activities. The meal schedule is balanced and varied and has really helped our daughter onto solids. Key workers and every member of team at Independent Place have been fantastic to deal with – welcoming and invested in our daughter and her outcomes. Our daughter has attended the baby room of Independent Place Childcare centre since 1st November 2022.
Carter Turner
June 19, 2025 at 1:31 pmThe team were incredible during his settling in period, making sure he gets all the assistance he needs and personalised the process to fit to whatever was best for him. He has started attending the toddler room at the age of 19 months and is now moving on to the preschool room.
The food is fantastic and made on the premises, childcare centre takes into account parent suggestions as well and changes the menu seasonally.
The team are all incredibly welcoming and create exceptional activities for the kids to keep them engaged and ensure development as well as enjoyable. The manager is very attentive.
The garden isn’t massive but they have really ensured it is packed with engaging activities, by far one of the best in Hackney.
The childcare centre is also away from main roads, inside a gated community so there isn’t very much traffic around which is excellent and secure.
Could not suggest this childcare centre more, if it’s within your budget. Our son has been attending the childcare centre for the past 6 months and he absolutely loves it there!
