    It’s recently been taken over by new management. The process appears to have been smooth with improvements being made to the rooms and outside spaces. Our three-year-old enjoys the activities and playtime. They’ve formed strong attachments to their care workers over the years. Team have changed but I understand this is usual in childcare centre settings. The childcare centre has consistently responded to any feedback and requests (E.g for more pictures and updates) and we’ve been cheerful with it, overall. Our kid has been at the childcare centre for two years.

    The team are excellent and the place is well managed. It was great under the previous ownership but I can truly see it has improved with the new owners and they have recently invested in the building and equipment. Both my kids adore coming here.

    My kid is highly cheerful there and the team are supportive, well‑informed and attentive. My kid’s discovering and development is fully supported. The childcare centre is well equipped. The Dulwich day childcare centre is outstanding.

    The level of care for our son is second to none; the daily activities are varied, creative and exciting – we adore hearing about his day and can see how he is thriving under the care and guidance of the Dulwich day childcare centre team. Our son loves going to the childcare centre every day; he has built such a strong connection with his key workers and sees them as an extension of his family. The childcare centre has spent the last few months investing in brand new toys and equipment for the spaces and it’s genuinely lovely to see the team get excited about the new tools at their disposal for all of the kids. Thank you all for taking such great care of our son every day! I cannot suggest the Dulwich day childcare centre highly enough!

    I get highly great feedback for my 3-year-old son who’s in a preschool room. I’ve found the feedback highly enabling with excellent observation that ties in with observations made at home by my wife and I. My son is thriving in his room and is highly well taken care of. The childcare centre also seems to have a highly great admin and management team as enquiries and queries I’ve had, have been dealt with highly swiftly. I’ve found the team at Dulwich Day Childcare centre to be a great balance between expert and highly attentive.

    Enthusiastic key workers whose passion for the kids truly comes across. Our daughter is clearly excited to arrive in the morning and leaves in a cheerful mood when picked up! Highly cheerful with overall journey.

    The key workers are all outstanding. They clearly take their responsibilities seriously and prioritise the well-being of the kids. I sense confident that the EYFS framework underpins their practice and there is a strong sense of professionalism I get from all members of team. And of course, my son is consistently cheerful to go in the mornings. Couldn’t ask for more in a setting. I can’t praise Dulwich Day Childcare centre enough.

    We have been exceptionally lucky to have our two boys attending The Dulwich Day Childcare centre & Pre-school and could not have asked for a better place for them to spend their days. All team are lovely and consistently cheerful to help and provide the best care for our kids. Would highly suggest it! Remarkable childcare centre!

    There is a variety of discovering and activities planned every day. The meals cooked onsite are consistently diverse and nutritious. Dulwich Day childcare centre is a welcoming but well-structured childcare centre setting for my kid.

    They do loads of enjoyable but educational activities with the kids and are truly inviting and attentive, but firm when they need to be. Food is cooked on-site and all the kids know the cook and even bake, sometimes. My 4-year-old and 1-year-old both go here and the team are remarkable.

    She has grown in self‑assurance, made friends and is discovering every day, thanks to the team at Penny Hill. The key workers have also been excellent and truly positive. The management have been excellent at communicating. Our daughter is highly cheerful and has been since she started a year ago.

    The team are truly excellent and there is not a high turnover, so the relationships between team and kids are highly strong. There’s also great updates with parents at pick up about what she’s been up to during the day and a real sense of affection for the kids. The team seem cheerful. The meals are healthy and varied and my daughter will eat much more there than she does at home. We are all going to miss the childcare centre when she moves up to big school in September, she is thriving here in all aspects of her development. Our daughter has been at this childcare centre for 18 months and absolutely loves it, we often have to run up the hill because she can’t wait to get there.

    She enjoys the variety of the activities provided and is consistently excited to talk about the team, past and present. The impact the childcare centre has on her personal development is highly noticeable. My daughter has attended for the past 18 months and truly enjoys herself.

    My daughter is excited to go every morning and highly reluctant to leave most evenings! A excellent mix of playtime and academic preparation for attending school (in the preschool room). They have a nice mix of art, science, cooking, languages, and active playtime. Highly attentive and supportive team.

    They only recently started but they are enjoying it, plus I adore seeing their cheerful faces. The team are highly welcoming and polite. The childcare centre is highly spotless and kid welcoming. Both my kids attend this preschool.

    All the team are so welcoming to him that we truly sense reassured leaving him in their care. The activities are truly engaging and we adore hearing about what he has been up to. Food is truly healthy too. Our son is so cheerful here, lots of smiles when he arrives.

    They get to know the kids and feedback on their day to the parents. Lots of enjoyable activities, arts and crafts, cooking, and also educational activities, consistently looking to assistance further development in the kids while making it a enjoyable, cheerful, nurturing setting for them. Truly cheerful with my daughter’s development and the childcare centre and childcare centre team. Highly recommended. Team are truly welcoming and highly attentive.

    The team are consistently cheerful and willing to help you and your little ones the best they can. I had the pleasure of visiting before covid and was truly impressed with the facilities and cleanliness of the rooms. The food consistently seems highly great as my daughter eats more there than whatever I cook for her at home. They truly helped her with potty training when she arrived, and the way they take time to understand her feelings and emotions I am consistently impressed with. They truly encourage her to be her best self. We will definitely be sending our next kid there when she’s a touch older. My kid has been at the childcare centre now for 18 months and loves it.

    Team and management clearly have an interest in the development of the kids under their care and provide daily updates about this. Outstanding childcare centre where team clearly know the kids highly well, even if they are not in the same class.

    She has settled in truly well and developed more than expected in her first few months. The team are lovely and consistently cheerful to assist with anything/any questions. We are looking forward to watching our kid grow in such a lovely setting. Ourselves and our daughter have had a exceptional time at the childcare centre so far!
