Independent Place Nursery

Independent Place is a wonderful nursery and my daughter loves it here. Everyone who works there is extremely encouraging and friendly, and their outdoor space is great too. As well as a plethora of activities they have at the nursery, 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 safe and entertained.

We have been with these guys for over nine months now and this nursery has smashed our expectations. The staff are really friendly 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 good and we are really happy that activities to develop our daughter are taken into account as much as the fun 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 staff that common sense is applied along with good governance, which is a great combination for any organisation. Thanks guys.

We’re very happy with the nursery. The staff are all very friendly and they do a big range of activities with the children.
The menu is great, they have a very lovely space and the garden is amazing. My daughter loves going there, she is learning loads of things and loves to do all the activities.
I would highly recommend the nursery to any other parent.

The Independent Place Nursery has been brilliant for us parents and our two kids. They seem to have infinite activities set up that change daily, different weekly themes, a great 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 kind of activity. They’ve got a cook in house making fresh, organic food based on a menu set up with the parents’ consultation. The communication 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 always 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.

Our daughter settled in very quickly at Independent Place Nursery. She loves her key workers and the messy play, that they let her do on a daily basis. We as the parents have the impression that the staff know the kids extremely well and they pay a lot of attention to every single child. We chose this nursery also because of its beautiful little garden, something not many nurseries offer.

My daughter joined when she was 6 months old. The baby room teachers have been so sweet to her, especially as she is the littlest baby in the nursery. My baby is always happy to join the teachers at the start of the day, which is saying a lot since she can get fussy when I put her down. They always have sensory activities for the babies and great activities.

Our daughter attended Independent Place Nursery in Dalston from the age of 1 – 2, during which time she learned to walk and talk. She absolutely thrived there. She loved the adults who worked with her and had some great little friends her age. It was clear how much the adults cared about her as well.

We heard about Independent Place Nursery through our neighbours and it was the first and only nursery we visited. We couldn’t be happier with the team, who at this point feel like family. The amazing activities and attention they give to our child have directly enhanced her development. Highly recommend a visit!

We have had a brilliant experience with Independent Place Nursery so far. Our 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 nursery put a lot of thought and effort into providing amazing sensory and development activities for the kids every day and they also have external visitors working with the children 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 staff are fantastic – warm, very professional and work with our daughter on developmental aspects such as crawling and self-feeding.

Our daughter has attended the baby room of Independent Place Nursery since 1st November 2022. I cannot speak highly enough of this nursery – the work they do with the children, the experience we’ve had as parents. It is clear that our daughter loves to attend each day for the play and learning activities provided. We love to see pictures of those activities shared on the app and they have had a fantastic 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 staff at Independent Place have been wonderful to deal with – friendly and invested in our daughter and her outcomes.
