July 8, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth my children attend and key highlights about Leo’s Den are:
– supportive staff and who really help work with you on the child’s development and offer helpful tips;
– excellent communication – the app and the updates are great and there is always the opportunity to discuss in person on pick up;
– variety of activities. This has been curtailed slightly because of covid, but they have trusted partners who come in and expand the children’s horizons. Staff will take them to the local park, despite having a good-sized outdoor space for London. Pre-covid they used to take the children to the local library regularly.
– it may look shabby to some parents but it is very clean. I’ve been impressed at how few closures (touch wood) there have been because of covid. This is also partly down to the parents.
– children do like it, and staff clearly care deeply about the children and give a cheery wave and hello if you bump into them at the weekend – it’s a real family!

August 13, 2021 at 12:00 amI can’t thank the staff of Leo’s Den enough for everything they have done for my daughter. She has been happy and excited to attend every morning, ever since her first day when she was 14 months old and we have been over the moon to send her to such a safe, secure and creative environment, full and love and happiness. The nursery has all its priorities in the right order and nothing is for show. I have complete trust in the team, not least because she eats and naps so much better for them than she does for me. Thank you Leo’s.

August 16, 2021 at 12:00 amThe past 18 months have been hugely difficult for everybody but, in the face of a global pandemic, Leo’s Den has provided our son with a safe and caring environment where he has absolutely thrived. He is excited to leave the house in the mornings and joyfully agrees to say hello to all of the practitioners and his friends on our behalf. He is visibly happy when we drop him off, as well as when we pick him up. When he gets home we talk to him about his day and we can honestly say he has never shown signs of being anything other than an incredibly happy and stimulated little boy. When we take him to the playground at weekends he is a confident social butterfly. When we introduce him to new healthy foods he is welcoming of them. When we play games with him he picks up new skills without thinking. When we read to him he is fully engaged and enjoys learning new words. We don’t underestimate how much Leo’s Den, and our son’s happiness there, has contributed to all of this! Thank you!

August 26, 2021 at 12:00 amLeo’s Den is a warm, welcoming nursery with excellent staff and facilities. Both of my boys love their time at nursery and I think that is a reflection of the support of the practitioners and the wide variety of activities on offer. We couldn’t recommend it more highly.

November 12, 2021 at 12:00 amMy baby started at Leo’s Den at just 4 months old. She has been there for over four months. I love the nursery and I like the staff in the baby room and management are great.
More importantly, my baby loves it there, she always wants to jump out my arms to go to her keyworker or any of the staff that opens the door in the mornings. She is always giggling and laughing. Crawling and trying to follow them around. Their sensory play is amazing and every day they have different activities. I’m always curious what they do in the day but we get detailed info on a daily basis and photos posted of their day. Staff are very at hand with her. I feel she has grown so quickly and made huge progress. I believe it’s the team at the nursery that are encouraging her to explore and learn, she loves books from story time. The environment is fantastic.
The food and everything that they have is healthy and tasty. They are clean and have lots of indoor and outdoor space.
I love it, baby loves it. She is happy and safe.

November 12, 2021 at 12:00 amWe could not be more lucky to be part of Leo’s Den family.
Every day we see our child thrive under the loving and professional care of the practitioners and the staff.
In a time of uncertainty such as the last year with the pandemic, Leo’s Den offered children a safe and loving place where to play and learn.
I highly recommend Leo’s Den

November 12, 2021 at 12:00 amAll staff are lovely and very helpful and understanding. They have great communication with me and keep me up to date with my child’s progress. Also being able to see my child throughout the day with the nursery cam they provide really help to put my mind at rest and know I can check on my child.

November 30, 2021 at 12:00 amSimply brilliant. Cubs, Cheetahs and Lions – all have great facilities and activities in and out of the nursery including the visiting animals and trips to the park. Fabulous caring staff; excellent communication and updates through the app which shows all their exciting escapades through the day with photos, food summaries etc. Great support and progress monitoring on all aspects of development. Value is unparalleled in the area, love it.

December 8, 2021 at 12:00 amLeo’s Den is really fantastic, my daughter loves it here and waves us happily goodbye when ever we drop her off for the day. The team are very professional and friendly and constantly doing engaging, fun and educational activities with the children. Regular update is given and there is also a great web cam where you can watch your children having fun through out the day. I highly recommend Leos Den Nursery.

January 20, 2022 at 12:00 amTruly outstanding! I believe I made one of the best decisions of my life since becoming a parent by sending my daughter to Leo’s. She started in October 2020. The journey has been great from my very first call to the nursery. It was extremely easy to talk to staff. They were responsive explained all the ins and out of nursery life. I had an introductory video call and was shown inside the nursery rooms. I was an emotional wreck but they really helped me focus. You get daily photo updates from day one. The CCTV live feed of seeing your child interacting with others and eating all their lunch (only at nursery) is such a pleasure to watch. CCTV was a lifeline for a first-time mum like me who was finding it difficult to leave their child with strangers. The interactive Famly app is easy to use and the nursery definitely makes use of the notification function to parents. The garden space is huge, bright, and filled with playthings. The girls (Practitioners) in the rooms are top class!

February 4, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter attended Leo’s Den between July 2017 and August 2020 and we had no hesitation in sending our son there too. He has been at Leo’s Den since September 2021 (joined at one year old) and he has settled in so well and loves going to nursery.
Leo’s Den provides a high quality of care and a variety of activities for children to partake in. The staff are warm, welcoming, and more than happy to talk about my child and his development. The app is incredibly useful in setting out what my son has been up to; I really appreciate the photos sent out from the day’s activities.
Based on our experience with my daughter we are confident that Leo’s Den will continue to provide a great nurturing environment that will ensure that my son continues to thrive and develop.
I highly recommend Leo’s Den!

March 10, 2022 at 12:00 amBeing able to log into the camera and see my daughter is amazing for me it helps massively with the anxiety and with missing her, just being able to see how her day is going means more to me than I can ever put in words, since starting at Leo den she’s come along way I couldn’t have done it without your all support and that’s a statement of fact I don’t think I could have brought her to this point alone. She “grown” so much under Leo den’s nurturing and caring hand. The bond she has with the nursery staff and the others, I’m so grateful for. She does not just know she’s safe but feels safe. We are both extremely blessed and lucky that Aaliyah attended Leo’s Den so I wanted to take a min to from the bottom of my heart and soul to express my thanks, it’s more like a debt I could never payback. So thank you all! From us both.

March 24, 2022 at 12:00 amMy one year old son has been attending the nursery for five months and is really enjoying it. He is in the Cubs year and is very social, he loves seeing and interacting with the other children and greatly enjoys the activities organised throughout the day. He is learning so many skills from his days at nursery, is becoming fiercely independent, eating and drinking by himself, learning words, being very mobile and quickly learning to walk. Leo’s Den also has the added benefit of having its own outdoor space. All daily activities are recorded so you can read what your child has done during the day and the staff send photographs of the children and reports of their development. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and commit a lot of time and energy to the children. I would recommend the nursery to anyone looking for high-quality daycare.

April 26, 2022 at 12:00 amOur two daughters each attended Leo’s Den for three years before moving onto big school. It is the best nursery in the area by far, and we looked closely at every one within a one-mile radius. The range of activities provided to the children both in the nursery and outside is phenomenal (including handling snakes and spiders and singing in French). They were both very happy there and have both made friends they are still in touch with.
Our girls were there throughout the pandemic, and the Manager and her team kept the place running flawlessly.
But more than anything what we found special was the sense of love that every member of staff conveyed to every child.

June 6, 2022 at 12:00 amMy ten month old has been attending Leo’s Den for three months and has loved her time. Having her in daycare so young made me very nervous, but the staff have been incredible and their care for her is clear.
I love seeing her throughout the day on the camera and the daily activities the practitioners provide look amazing. She is always excited to see the staff at drop-off and I completely understand why!

June 13, 2022 at 12:00 amWe are really happy with the nursery, all the staff are so friendly and we know that our son is getting the best care. We love the constant updates and pictures of the children during the day and we have really noticed a big improvement in our son’s learning.

June 14, 2022 at 12:00 amIt’s a familiar environment. Staff ask before trying new food with the babies, they spend time outside in the garden, babies look happy and once they recognise faces they are likely to go and spend the day playing with their peers.
Parents can get in touch with the nursery thanks to an app where the development and daily updates are kept up-to-date; we also have a live camera to check our little ones live.

July 8, 2022 at 12:00 amLeos Den Nursery is like a 2nd home to my Son, he loves it there. The staff are very efficient in their jobs and friendly too. Communication is excellent, especially via their Famly app. The fact that I can log into the nurserycam and see what’s going on around the place is reassuring and shows transparency. They have managed my Son’s allergy needs very excellently as well. They have a large garden in the backyard where the kids do many outdoor plays and they still take them to the park when necessary. Every month they send me a development review in form of an observation of my Son pointing out areas of commendation or otherwise. It’s worthy of mention as well that their fees are reasonable compared to what others around charge yet Leos Den Nursery offer even better services. My Son has learnt alot since starting there in June 2021 and I have no reservations at all about keeping him there till he starts school at age 4. Well done team and keep the flag flying!

July 8, 2022 at 12:00 amI’ve had my two children in Leo’s Den Nursery since they were 9 months old and we will be very sorry to leave (moving to a different area). Staff are energetic and kind and my kids love them. We have been very happy there and would recommend Leo’s Den Nursery highly.

December 22, 2022 at 12:00 amMy baby has been going here since September. He loves it. This is a great nursery, the staff are excellent and care for my son very well. The food menus are good, and the activities they do with the children are great.
