February 14, 2025 at 2:47 pmIt’s been featured on TV and radio!
Activities with residents are held outside on the grounds. They have incredible outdoor space! (Which we know is rare in London!) This is one of the reasons I decided to send my son here. They also do a forest school once a week!
They are not for profit; awaiting charitable status. It is a community childcare centre. Team and parents are highly inviting and supportive, they also hold events to allow parents to meet each other. I have made some excellent friends there through my son! My son loves the educators and has excellent enjoyable attending it.
During lockdown, childcare centre Zooms were the only sessions my son would entertain! Stories and singing for an hour Monday to Friday, with an experiment once a week. I am particularly impressed with the head; who genuinely cares for every one of the kids there. Pay them a visit, you won’t regret it. Apples and Honey Nightingale is the first onsite intergenerational childcare centre in the UK.

March 8, 2025 at 1:36 pmThe childcare centre is remarkable, the kids are well cared for, the facilities and discovering programme are excellent and the team are highly welcoming. The outside space that the childcare centre provides is second to none in our area and the kids are so lucky to have this in central London. The intergenerational programme is incredible and our daughter loved the time they spent with the residents, we just hope this can start up again soon! The benefits to both the residents and the kids is easy to see and it is so special to be part of such an important programme. Our eldest daughter attended Apples and Honey from the highly beginning and we have loved being part of the Apples and Honey community, our youngest daughter will also join the childcare centre in a couple of months.

March 26, 2025 at 4:20 pmStarting from the incredible team, led by the manager who welcomes kids in the most attentive and inviting possible way, to the state-of-art and above standards premises/playground to the interesting and the well looked after curriculum and extra-activities program. Yet with a pronounced Jewish identity, the Childcare centre welcomes everyone and we as a Catholic family felt enriched by elements of another faith. The Childcare centre offers a real modern and up-to-date setting, not only for the equipment but also the themes and approach they have in the teaching, in communicating back to families via constant and well-detailed reports published on a dedicated portal. But the real game-changer are the intergenerational activities which have played a highly important part in our decision to send our daughter there. They are carried with care and sensibility and are hugely important for both groups. Apples and Honey Nightingale is an outstanding Childcare centre by all means.

May 15, 2025 at 10:23 amIt has been a cheerful setting for him to begin his first steps in education. The childcare centre is a welcoming, compassionate, spotless setting where they assistance your kid’s individual needs and parents are informed through informal chat or online about the development of your kid’s social and emotional well-being. It is rare to have a playground the size they do and they visit the common. Lunches expand their normal food diet allowing them to try new foods. We have been thrilled with Apples and Honey. Our son has attended Apples and Honey for over a year now.

June 7, 2025 at 8:36 amThe garden setting is stunning, so lots of activities happen outside and the kids work with the resident Gardener about the plants, nature’s life cycles and even how to harvest honey from the beehives on-site.
Both my boys now attend and couldn’t be happier. They get to run, climb, explore, express and learn in such a unique way through playtime and the intergenerational programme, which is now running safely again. My eldest is in his pre-school year and will be as equipped as he can be when he transitions to school. My youngest is 2 and after just a month of attending has grown hugely in self‑assurance and determination. His speech is delayed and having specialist team on hand to is a huge help and relief to us.
The assistance the parents are offered has been outstanding. The childcare centre overflows with compassion, adore, understanding and importantly, enjoyable alongside discovering. We couldn’t suggest more highly. I sense so lucky to have Apples and Honey Nightingale on our doorstep.
