Academy 4 Kids

Academy 4 Kids staff have been amazing with my daughter, who initially found the settling period very difficult. All the staff are very professional to meet children’s needs effectively.

My son has been with Academy 4 Kids for over three years. He really enjoys it and makes a lot of good friends. He extremely likes the outdoor play area, i.e. woodland – such a good place for summer! I will, of course, recommend Academy 4 Kids to all parents! Now I’m still sending my second child to this nursery.

My children have had a lovely time at Academy. They received lots of loving care whilst having great fun! They particularly enjoyed the woodlands and the large interesting playground. They loved all the craft activities, stretch and grow, the singing and the shows! Academy staff have prepared them very well for starting school. Thank you!

We feel so fortunate that our son spent 3 very happy years at Academy 4 Kids, and that he’s been so well prepared for starting school – his transition has been incredibly easy, which is undoubtedly down to the groundwork done by his nursery teachers. The entire team are committed, nurturing, highly skilled and bring huge amounts of energy and creativity to everything they do. We felt so supported by them throughout my son’s nursery journey and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Academy 4 Kids to anyone thinking of sending their children there. The outside space, so rare for nurseries in London, is what attracted us to the nursery, but it’s the staff who make it such a special place.

My child has had a wonderful experience at Academy 4 Kids over the past 2 years. The staff have been wonderful, especially creating a familiar and safe environment to offer continuity during the pandemic and the arrival of a new sibling. The facilities, in particular the woodlands, are fantastic and the huge range of activities offered have helped his development. I credit the nursery with helping my child to develop into such a happy, confident, chatty little boy and we will be very sad to leave.

Our experience at Academy 4 Kids has been brilliant from day one. The building and grounds that the nursery is housed in are spacious and large for London. The bonus is the woodlands, where my son has loved spending many days digging and discovering the outdoor space. The learning and experiences that are meticulously planned for the children are amazing. The teachers show a real passion and love for their job and for the children that are in their care. We are so sad that our son will be leaving, but he is so ready to move on now, as the staff have prepared him so well and given him a strong foundation for his next step into reception. We wish the team at Academy 4 Kids all the very best and thank them for the wonderful journey.

I would absolutely recommend Academy 4 Kids as a nursery choice. Our son was there from age 1 to 4 and was extremely happy throughout the different rooms and despite the upheaval during covid. We are extremely grateful to the caring staff for helping him flourish and getting him ready for school. The nursery stands out from others in the area because of its excellent and large outdoor areas. The children go outside come rain or shine; they have access to outdoor toys and slides and a magical muddy woodlands area that provides endless opportunities for imagination play. The graduation play and ceremony exemplified the staff’s care and dedication. We will miss nursery!

The staff at Academy 4 Kids are exceptional. Their kindness, attentiveness, and professionalism stands out from others. Both my children are well settled and hugely enjoy their days at the nursery. I have experienced the nursery at all ages and have always felt very confident in the care they receive from the staff. My children have established strong relationships with key workers and others. The manager is superb in her communication and organisation. Preschool is excellent and prepares the children well for school. The outdoor space is fantastic for the children’s learning and development and I love that they spend so much time in a variety of outdoor areas. Some aspects of the nursery could be modernised (baby toys etc.) but both my children have been very happy at Academy 4 Kids.

Academy 4 Kids is an exceptional nursery. The nursery itself is a lovely space, with a huge outdoor area (and they encourage children to be outdoors every day) and plenty of rooms for the various age groups. The learning activities organised are great, and we are kept updated on our son’s daily schedule (with photos, reports of food and milk consumed, naps taken, etc) and on his progress and growth through regular developmental check-ins.
Most importantly, the staff are amazing – very kind, thoughtful, communicative, and organised. Our son’s key worker was such a huge part of his life the last few months – he was delighted to see her every day, and it was easy to see how much she genuinely cared about him. From day one, he was comfortable in the nursery, well cared for by the staff, and happy to be dropped off in the mornings. We have always felt that he was in great hands and having fun. I would strongly recommend Academy 4 Kids to anyone and hope to have all my children attend.
