    Wonderful/safe/loving/learning environment for my 3 year old and I could not ask for more.

    Most of all- Management are the best I’ve ever encountered and are beyond helpful and accommodating.
    The manager and her team are the reason for why this is the best nursery in East Dulwich!

    My son has been at the nursery since he was 16 months old and has always enjoyed going to the nursery and the staff have always been incredibly kind and caring towards him and his development.

    The staff make a huge effort to organise social gatherings for the children and parents to enjoy. The recent Valentine’s Day breakfast was a wonderful way for the children across the nursery to interact – fabulous.

    Gumboots is a real joy to be part of – the manager and staff are all so lovely, welcoming and caring! My son practically runs in in the morning and gives everyone a big cuddle when he leaves. I leave happy in the knowledge that not only is he well looked after and cared for but loved also. The staff in his room give off such a part of the family vibe.

    Great nursery. Family atmosphere with everyone being so nice. Real, community feel. My son loves it there and has a great time. Would highly recommend to lots of people.

    When you tell your daughter she’s going to nursery and she does a little dance to celebrate – you know that they are doing something right!

    Really happy with the care our daughter gets at Gumboots and the education she is recieving.

    Our daughters have all attended Gumboots over the years. Our youngest daughter who still attends Gumboots has developed in so many ways and is a more confident child and looks forward to going into nursery every day. The nursery itself is a fun and lively environment and I think it provides the backdrop for more effective learning.

    Our experience of Gumboots has been fantastic and we would definitely recommend it to others.

    The nursery has a warmth and energy to it which I didn’t find elsewhere when looking for my daughter. The garden is very big for this area of London and I really like knowing that the children are outside regularly. The food that is prepared daily is wide-ranging and doesn’t shy away from dishes that introduce new tastes.

    We feel so very lucky that our little girl is at Gumboots – she’s absolutely thrived there and is a confident, kind and happy child which is no doubt in part because of the care and development she receives at nursery. The staff are second to none and form close bonds with the children based on an ethos of kindness and respect. We would highly recommend Gumboots.

    Our daughter and son have both attended Gumboots for a number of years and received exemplary care. The staff are always kind, patient and enthusiastic. The preparation for the next steps of attending school is also very well planned.

    The nursery is excellent. My daughter loves the staff and they do great activities, both fun and educational, with the children. The staff care greatly about the children and clearly love their jobs.

    Gumboots is a wonderful environment. My son has been very happy there and is developing incredibly well. They are adapting their approach to suit him and have been very supportive and helpful with his dietary requirements.

    Our daughter has been at Gumboots Community Nursery for 16 months now and loves it. I was apprehensive about her settling in a nursery environment given her sensitive side but she was assured and involved from day one. The staff are friendly and the environment fun and inspiring. We will be sending our second daughter there too.

    Such an amazing nursery! The manager and her team are so caring and thorough. There is no other nursery we feel compares! We even moved house and continue to travel 20 minutes by car to Gumboots because we love it so much! Thank you, to the manager and your team for everything!

    Gumboots Nursery & Pre-School has been a wonderful environment where my two kids have thrived. Both are in full-time. My daughter has moved from the baby room now to the preschool room and it’s been great to see how in each stage they have supported and nurtured her. She loves going to nursery! Also, my son has recently joined the baby room and has quickly adapted and is enjoying the nursery experience as much as my eldest. Staff are welcoming and nurturing and kids are always doing great activities throughout the day. Definitely made joining the workforce full-time less challenging as I know they are in great hands.

    We love Gumboots – our son has been there since he was 10 months old and I can’t rate the care highly enough. Interesting menus and activities and he has made lots of friends (as have we). He loves it, most importantly!

    Wonderful environment for children to play and learn. My two-and-a-half-year-old has been there for 13 months now and can’t get through the door quick enough most days. He’s made some amazing friends and adores the staff who work there.
    The outdoor space is fantastic, even more so when you consider the nursery is in London and they make sure they get outside almost every day – rain or shine! I’ve signed my second baby up to go when he’s old enough too.

    My daughter has attended Gumboots Nursery nursery since 2020. We have a very special relationship with so many of the staff here, as she started in the baby room and is now in preschool! They have helped her grow and develop in a nurturing and supportive environment. We are so happy with the level of care, variety of activities, food menu options, and social outings she gets to enjoy. We feel very lucky that she attends and hope to have her other sibling join soon too.

    We love being part of the Gumboots community, it has been a joy to send our two daughters there over the past couple of years knowing they will receive the best care and also the opportunity to get involved in so many different activities throughout the day. The staff are so caring and know each child individually to ensure their needs are met. There’s also a nice big outside space which our two love!

    A lovely and attentive staff team, brilliant garden and fantastic menu. Great activities and events are planned.
    My son loves it and comes out with so many things that he can only have learnt at nursery, surprises me every time, it’s great.
