The Muswell Hill Preschool

I felt very reluctant to send my son to nursery until I came across The Muswell Hill Preschool – it was the only nursery I visited, that I felt excited about sending my baby to at only 11 months old. I thought it was the right place for us from our initial show, due to the staff’s professionalism and dedication – besides the great environment. This only confirms after starting and I can genuinely believe my son feels respected, loved, safe and inspired, with fun. He loves the food as well, besides having an egg allergy, which the staff takes very seriously! The team have made our son very settled, respecting his adjustment time and he adores his key worker and the support team. We are pleased to work together with the nursery, giving our son the same message at home and the nursery in terms of validating his feelings, respecting his time and letting him lead the way whenever possible. We are delighted we found them and hope to have our son there for the rest of his nursery duration.

My son started nursery at 10 months old full time and I was really nervous about going back to work and how he’d cope without me. It was a tough start but the staff at the nursery were so kind and patient and I trusted them immediately. My son soon settled and now loves his time there. He leads me to his room every day and greets me with a smile at the end of the day, proudly showing me around and saying goodbye to everyone from the babies to the chef to the managers in the office. They do lovely activities and really care about the children. It’s a large space with lots of engaging displays and wonderful equipment. I was keen on outdoor space and although the garden is small, they use it every day along with the amazing indoor-outdoor space. The menu is outstanding and my boy eats like a king. Can recommend this nursery highly.

Caring and nurturing nursery which seems to adhere to high standards, whether it be nutrition or staff. My daughter is undoubtedly enriched by the arts, crafts, literature and music curriculum and also has impeccable manners and a gorgeous accent which she certainly didn’t get from me! The atmosphere in the nursery is creative and modern and benefits from fantastic toys and activities as well as a great sensory room. The only drawback is perhaps the lack of a proper garden but then again there is also a lack of a proper summer so it’s not as significant. My experience as a parent has also been quite positive and where there have been issues we felt the nursery was efficient, thorough and quick to act.

It is such a relief to send children off to nursery each day with a huge smile, chatting away with such excitement about which staff member or friend they will see first – and that has been our experience with both of our children at The Muswell Hill Preschool. It is a fun and caring setting, where the kids have felt happy and secure, always eager to tell us about the ‘adventures’ of their day be it the indoor outdoor room, yoga, learning about emotions, the incredible art classes or breakfast! We couldn’t be happier.

Our daughter absolutely loves attending the nursery. She has been there since she was 9 months old and she has moved up through the various rooms, onto different staff very seamlessly. The staff are friendly and caring and the food is extremely good. She has built some really strong relationships with the staff and other children there and I really recommend it to anyone.
