Greenwood Nursery Twickenham

What a place. Our first son spent 3.5 years here and we were incredibly sad when it was time to leave. Our second son is here now and also loving it so we are highly cheerful. The kindest, most attentive, bright, lovely, inviting, thoughtful bunch of people. We only have incredible things to say about Annie’s Nest and are so grateful to all of the team. Thank you to the Owners/Managers. If you can get yourself a place here, you’ll be highly cheerful. x Wow.

Since changing ownership it has only gotten even better. Both of our sons (1-year-old and 4-year-old) attend and absolutely adore it. They have so many extracurricular activities like dance, drama, music, swimming, tennis etc. which is all included in the fee. They spend a lot of time out and about in the local community every day and they do fantastic trips to places like London, aquariums, a palace and farms etc (all included within the fee too). The teacher to kid ratio is so low that they receive genuine 1:1 development and education. Couldn’t suggest it highly enough. Come and have a look and ask to speak to some of the parents to hear it for yourself. A truly fantastic childcare centre – for our first kid we went to see so many nurseries and it stood miles above the rest.

The team have consistently been remarkable, compassionate, attentive and dynamic with our kids. The fact that there is no outdoor space at the childcare centre means that the kids go outside every day to local parks, grocery shops, forest school and more, they adore it! Greenwood Childcare centre offers a large set of activities which gives a excellent exposure to our kids to learn various themes of life. We can clearly see how our boys have evolved and gained self‑assurance thanks to this incredible childcare centre. We have been part of the childcare centre for the past five years now and the journey has been incredible for both our boys!

They have been on trips to central London, go to the local greengrocer to buy fruit for snack time and twice a week go to the local forest schools.
The team are exceptional and you can clearly tell that teaching at childcare centre level is a career for them rather than just a job. At drop off and pick up you can see the relationship that my daughter (and son previously) have built with their educators is so different (in a great way) to friend’s kids at other nurseries.
I would have no reservations to recommending the childcare centre to others. My daughter is currently at Greenwood Childcare centre (will be starting at school this September) and my son was here prior to starting school several years ago.
The ethos of the childcare centre is incredible, because there is no outdoor space at the childcare centre the team take the kids out every day to local parks.

What has been added with the transition to Greenwood is remarkable – forest school at least once a week; sports activities with dedicated educators and equipment; music sessions; dancing lessons; pyjama drama and intergenerational discovering. Not to mention the childcare centre now offers cooked meals – highly healthy with a proper cook who teaches the kids occasionally. My daughter loves going and we’re jealous! Our eldest son went to Greenwood Childcare centre (previously Annie’s) from age one to starting school and our daughter has similarly been going for over three years now, starts school this year, and was at the childcare centre when it changed from Annie’s to Greenwood.
All the reasons why we chose Annie’s in the first place: highly enthusiastic and engaging team, kids who obviously adore going, lots of outdoor activity time in local playgrounds and by the river, continuous planned enjoyable activities when inside (not just sitting around letting the kids playtime with toys) – are still highly much evident in its Greenwood incarnation.

It’s a shame we relocated but this childcare centre is simply the best. The team are exceptionally compassionate and welcoming. They consistently have cheerful, welcoming and smiling faces. They are highly great with the kids and my son consistently used to look forward to going to Annie’s, even wanted to go at the weekends!! My son developed immensely in the short time that he was there. From a truly shy baby, he became highly confident and suddenly he can’t stop talking. Thank you to all the team at Annie’s, who are highly dedicated and attentive. Keep up the great work, I can’t praise you enough!! Annie’s Nest has been a fantastic journey for our family especially our son who loves it!!!

When he first joined the childcare centre, English was his second language. He is now a highly confident, little English speaking chatterbox, who made many lovely friends at the childcare centre. He has had many memorable and enjoyable days. The educators and the management have been highly attentive and inspiring him with lots of creative and enjoyable activities. I couldn’t have asked for more! My son has been attending Annie’s Nest since he was two.

Unsurprisingly, our daughter’s development accelerated across the whole gamut since she joined the childcare centre. The educators tailored their attention to meet each stage of her development, for example encouraging and supporting her progression to the potty, which is not easy!
They have so many outstanding activities such as music time, yoga, pyjama drama (theatrical storytelling), tennis, ball sports, forest school, outings on the bus e.g. to a farm, picnics, etc.
It’s a excellent childcare centre which I would suggest unreservedly. The educators truly care about and adore their young charges, and that truly differentiates Greenwood.

Our daughter has such a exceptional time, learns so much and has made friends I hope she keeps for a highly long time. The team are super – their passion is incredible. Adore, adore, adore Annie’s Nest! Annie’s Nest is simply incredible.

The management and team who work here are so completely fantastic. Both of our kids have gone to Annie’s Nest and it has been the most beautifully nurturing setting. Our second kid will be starting school soon and we will be keeping in touch with everyone! I cannot suggest this childcare centre enough!
