Hatching Dragons Nursery Westminster

Our son has been at Hatching Dragons for about 6 months now, and it has been so lovely watching him grow under the guidance of the nursery. We originally chose Hatching Dragons because we really wanted a bilingual nursery, but it quickly became apparent that we were also putting him in a nursery with the most amazing staff. We do not have any family in London, so the nursery became our son’s second home. We have loved all the care and attention everyone has given to our son and we can tell that everyone is there because they truly love working with children. Our son has learned so much through the nursery’s many activities – from sensory exploration through messy play to physical exploration at parks, and of course, Mandarin with the nursery’s Mandarin speaking staff. We also love the digital diary they provide, which allows us to quickly get daily updates, as well as skills progression, on our son. We would highly recommend this nursery!

This nursery was a real family to my daughter. She used to have a big family like her grandmother, grandfather, aunts and nieces so when we came here she was so confused and nervous, but when she joined the nursery everything changed. She’s been happy, healthy and outgoing. She loves everyone in the nursery and talked about everyone at home and at the weekend, she kept asking if we are going to school with a big smile. I am really happy that I chose the best nursery ever for my daughter. Thank you so much.

My son has attended Hatching Dragons Westminster for almost one year and I am delighted with his progress. From crawling to walking, babbling to talking, he has received the love and support every parent wishes for their child when being cared for by others. The whole team are fantastic and I highly recommend Hatching Dragons to other families. The bilingual activities, daily outdoor trips, and thorough application of EYFS enables my son to thrive in a way that prepares him well for preschool/reception in the future. Furthermore, the plans for the new site demonstrate Hatching Dragons continued commitment to excellence in childcare and bilingual education.
I am happy and excited for the coming years.

Our daughter joined at 7-months. The nursery initially ticked all our needs: long hours, organic food, mandarin, taking babies. But we are delighted beyond expectations and do not mind the extra 45min journey to bring her there.
The staff genuinely love the kids, are extremely caring, supportive, providing feedback and discussing children’s developments, routines etc. They ensured settling in went smoothly. The general mood is really warm and familial.
The nursery continuously ensures that 50% of her carers are mandarin speakers, while there is good diversity among both the staff and children. The space is amazing: high ceilings, lots of space inside and an outside courtyard, under the trees’ shade, used as often as possible by the staff with dedicated games and activities. Our daughter loves it and is now a very energetic and social toddler who loves fruits and vegetables, music, dancing, and painting. She would not have developed those skills as much being cared for at home.

Hatching Dragons Westminster has become our extended London family, and my wife and I could not recommend the nursery more to any parent who believes in providing his/her child with a multi-cultural, multi-lingual and caring environment from the very early stages of development.
My daughter joined the nursery 7 months ago when she was 11-months-old. It has been amazing to see her through the journey so far; becoming more aware, learning to walk, and then speaking a few words in English and Mandarin!
Every day she looks forward to going to the nursery, and upon pick-up, we know she has received great care and she has done lots of activities.
The nursery recently moved to a new location with its own outside space and improved facilities.
I am not used to writing reviews and do not give compliments in public easily, but all the staff and management team are very professional should be proud of their work, and to them go all my sincere thanks and appreciation.

My daughter loves HD Nursery, she loves her friends, talks about the staff and her activities all the time! She has become very confident, enjoys looking after the babies and is proud to know so many Mandarin words already. We feel very confident having her there, the team is warm and friendly, the food/menu is healthy. I wish you had opened earlier! We strongly recommend HD Nursery.

Thank you so much for caring and loving my son. He has learnt and grown a lot for these four months. At home, he doesn’t stop singing and I am learning new songs from him! He really enjoyed the nursery.
One thing I was disappointed with was the breakfast – cornflakes and rice cereal. Those are high in sugar and salt for toddlers but the nursery uses them even if I have requested not to give them to my son.
But, overall, great indoor/outdoor space and lovely staff. Thank you very much.

My kids who are three years old have been at Hatching Dragons Nursery Westminster for four months now and are very happy there. They’ve made very good friends from day one and so have the parents. They spend all day painting, playing, doing yoga, learning Mandarin and English, reading books, learning and are having the best time. So much so that I have to bribe them with snacks to go home most days. Hatching Dragons Nursery Westminster has fantastic facilities inside the nursery, several very spacious rooms with lots of toys and space to play. Outside area is functional too. It is also very secure. Parents receive reports and photos every day via the app and verbal feedback at pickup, also we are given lots of artwork and things kids have made that day. All the teachers and managers are loving, very friendly and everyone has their key person who provides in-depth feedback to the parents about kids’ development and progress. Operating hours are well suited to working parents too.

Our little one has been going to Hatching Dragons for almost 4 months and we have nothing but praise for all of the staff. She is clearly enjoying it on top of picking up a language we never imagined she would get a chance to. Being what looks like a converted convent or a church, the facilities are amazing, offering a great sense of space both in and out, especially when compared to other central London nurseries. This combination of extremely attentive staff, great facilities and amazing value add through use of Mandarin makes Hatching Dragons a no brainer for any kid.

The staff are amazing, they are fully dedicated to the kid’s development and they love to spend time with them. I always see them enthusiastic about their job, I have full confidence that my kid is well looked after. They are doing a lot and varied activities. They answer all our questions and communicate a lot with us.
