October 7, 2024 at 7:17 amThankfully, MTO is a joyous place, with team who go above and beyond to create a inviting, attentive and inspiring setting. My son loves going, and especially enjoys a banana from the fruit basket that is put out every day for the kids. The on-site chef makes delicious food that I delight in reading about in the daily update emails (including photos!). Can’t suggest enough and I am so pleased we decided to send our little boy here. Choosing a childcare centre to look after your kid is a big decision.

December 9, 2024 at 7:05 amUnfortunately not long after the childcare centre failed big time in our eyes and we had to take out our little one. We asked them to keep to some dietary requirements and they were agreed to have only vegetarian food, but our girl was fed on meat. We asked the childcare centre not to get her involved in any activities when it comes to Halloween and we saw pictures posted that she was. They have denied it until I showed them the screenshots. They don’t take care of the kid’s clothes. We had our girl coming home with her clothes full of paint, never came out after washing twice. All these clothes were new. It was very disturbing. I sent them an email to please cover her clothes or use the apron I provided. They used it until it happened again and was worse. The manager is lying a lot and the team are leaving, they never seem cheerful. We decided to go to this childcare centre as the reviews were exceptional.

December 14, 2024 at 8:07 amBoth my partner and I are key workers and could not have continued in our jobs without this assistance. That our twin daughters have continued to learn, develop and started potty training in this time is testament to how supportive and well run the childcare centre is. The only small drawback of the childcare centre is the lack of outside space. However, the girls do get regular varied opportunities at different playtime settings and activities (including cooking with the childcare centre’s chef) and hopefully once the lockdown eases they will get more opportunity to be outside on excursions. MTO helped our family immensely by taking on our kids to provide childcare at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and childcare centre closures as their last childcare centre had to close.

December 22, 2024 at 9:10 pmIt has been such a key part of his development. I can’t praise the childcare centre highly enough. My son began childcare centre at 9 months bang smack in the middle of the pandemic. As a key worker who couldn’t work from home, there was never any doubt in my mind that he would be secure at the childcare centre. My son has updates delays and the assistance he has received has been above and beyond including organising additional funding so he could have regular sessions with a speech therapist. The facilities are excellent and I am jealous every day looking at the menu! The PE sessions are excellent and my little boy loves the outings to the park or the shop. We are really going to miss it. My son has just left MTO with a heavy heart.

January 8, 2025 at 6:16 pmVery close to the date needed to start, MTO helped me arrange an in-person visit for both my partner and I (the first childcare centre to allow this), and were super supportive in accommodating us. They worked with us to make a really excellent settling in schedule which gave me time to get to know the team. See my son interacting with everyone, and to sense really secure that my son would be well taken care of even though he was the youngest of the baby group. One of the biggest takeaways from my visits and settling in was how at home it felt at MTO. It truly feels like an extension of our own home and the carers treat everyone as family. Since my son has started, he has been shown lots of adore and affection, he has had incredible opportunities every single day, and he has grown tremendously. I’m consistently impressed by the variety of sensory playtime, activities, outings, meals, and more offered. We started our son at MTO Childcare centre when he was 5 months old.

January 28, 2025 at 2:41 amWe are loving the app and the emails updating us about his day – sharing them with his grandparents too! Looking forward to seeing how he develops further over the rest of the year! For the past two weeks, my son has been attending MTO Childcare centre and has really been enjoying it.
Elliot Randall
January 28, 2025 at 4:17 amHe (and I) especially delight in the welcome on arrival each morning – excellent team, management, and activities (some messier than others!) and it’s excellent to see the daily emails/pictures showing the activities of the day – he consistently looks like he’s had a blast when I pick him up! Our son has nearly finished his time at MTO and has loved every minute of it!

January 31, 2025 at 10:54 pmThe manager is consistently interested in connecting with the parents and keeps an open dialogue with us about our kids. We have consistently felt able to speak to her and the team about any queries, concerns and reassurance about our kid’s life at childcare centre.
My son has thrived at MTO, becoming more independent, he is challenged and encouraged by the team in his development.
We have been particularly impressed with how they have handled the pandemic, keeping patents well informed of all developments and changes in the childcare centre as well as slowing flexibility in returning our kid to work. The hygiene standards and health and safety guidelines they have implemented were outstanding and informative, they have managed to keep our kids secure, whilst still allowing them to thrive and delight in their time at childcare centre. A lovely childcare centre with very engaged and nurturing team.

February 3, 2025 at 4:00 pmThe childcare centre team were incredible with settling him in and taking time to really get to know him.
He loves going in every day! Parent partnership is outstanding with excellent updates and feedback every day. The kids get to go for lovely walks outside every day and or the park, which suits my energetic little one very well! The manager is lovely and had an open-door policy, and she works flexibly with parents which is extremely supportive, particularly with the changing needs of the little ones. We moved back to London from Cape Town and our 3 year old boy needed somewhere enjoyable and comfortable to go to after all of the travelling etc.

February 9, 2025 at 5:17 amIt is a small childcare centre and the team are so personable, attentive and genuinely attentive for the kids. The beauty of a small childcare centre is that genuine connection between kids and team, but also the parents, and they host special family days around Christmas, mother’s days etc which are a lovely time to spend at the childcare centre and also demonstrate how much the team care. Our priority was team who were interested and care for the kids and that’s exactly what we got. We are very cheerful here and will be sad when it’s time for our daughter to say goodbye and go to school. My daughter has been going to MTO for a few years now – from the baby room – and loves her days at MTO.

March 10, 2025 at 8:08 pmIt is a small, well-run childcare centre.
The manager is lovely and very accommodating. My little boy has a excellent time there and is well looked after. There are not too many kids so they get lots of attention and there are lots of activities to keep the kids busy and discovering. The food is excellent too.
I would suggest MTO to anyone looking for a childcare centre in the Crouch End area. My son has been going to MTO since 2018.

March 22, 2025 at 8:28 pmHe has spent the majority of his life in lockdown so it was important for us to find somewhere in which he felt comfortable and excited to go to but also get those social interactions and activities that he missed out on with being in lockdown. The team have been incredible throughout the process of getting him settled in and he has really connected with his key worker. I get daily reports with photos featuring what activities they have done that day, as well as what he has eaten etc which is consistently reassuring to read and see! Would definitely suggest MTO to anyone! Our son has recently started at MTO and is absolutely loving it.
Kai Turner
April 4, 2025 at 1:36 amHe has been with MTO since 6 months old and he loves it – he loves the team, he’s got friends, he enjoys the food which is outstanding (really, I’ve tried and it’s homemade and delicious) and he gets lots of outing and activities which keep him busy. He started in the youngest group ad gradually moved to the oldest pre-school where he is now so I can say all groups are arranged according to the age and maximizing kids’s potential. I’m getting daily reports with pictures which is excellent and even grandparents abroad read it which keeps them in the loop.
It’s very important for us to have a ‘second home’ for our son with the best care possible. The team are outstanding with the manager giving us all the help and assistance we need. Due to personal circumstances (illness in the family and loss of job) we often require flexible hours or help in emergencies and MTO has never let us down. Recommended! MTO Childcare centre is the best childcare centre I could imagine for our nearly 3 year old son.

April 6, 2025 at 5:20 amThey both absolutely adore going to childcare centre – they both have excellent bonds with their keyworkers and other team. There are plenty of different activities for them to do, and the focus is on discovering through playtime. My eldest daughter loves drawing, and that has been encouraged a lot. There are PE lessons, singing and dancing, lots of themed activities and free playtime. They eat better than I do while they are at childcare centre! There is a lovely community at MTO; the team are all welcoming and attentive. The girls are excited to go every day, and what higher praise is there than that? I have a three-year-old and a 19-month-old at MTO, having both joined at around 10-months-old.

April 14, 2025 at 1:59 pmHe has consistently been cheerful and very well looked after. If I’ve had a problem it’s been sorted straight away. I could not suggest this childcare centre enough, the food is very great, my little one eats anything; vegetables, fruit. I am saying this is because he’s had such a great start with food at childcare centre, he is very cheerful. You can’t go wrong sending your kid here. My grandson has been at childcare centre from one and a half.
Gray Walker
April 22, 2025 at 11:17 pmThe team are consistently very welcoming and welcoming. My kids are consistently cheerful to go in. I am very cheerful to have sent them to this childcare centre. I will suggest this childcare centre to anyone. This childcare centre is a very lovely place, excellent location and welcoming team.

April 23, 2025 at 12:08 amThey are a remarkable childcare centre; very well managed, very inviting and welcoming to the kids, every day they have many different activities planned, they go on daily outings, and the meals provided are very healthy with lots of fruit and veg (this in house cook is exceptional). I cannot thank MTO enough for looking after our son and making him so cheerful. Our son has attended MTO since he was 8-months-old, he is now 3.
Taylor Hayes
April 26, 2025 at 4:13 pmMTO is an incredible childcare centre with very attentive and compassionate team who have consistently done their best to accommodate my son and our family.
In fact, we adore it so much, when we moved from Crouch End to another area, I drive 45 minutes each way just to keep him at MTO!
Lennon Irwin
June 26, 2025 at 9:27 pmThe dedicated team are fantastic and a wealth of advice and assistance and really invested in my kid’s happiness. It is so nice to sense reassured when dropping her off. MTO offer a excellent settling in schedule, so I got to see the day to day activities etc and really got to know the team ahead of her starting.
The childcare centre setting is excellent, secure and spotless but most importantly built for enjoyable and playtime! In honesty my only initial reservation was the lack of outdoor space but the number of excursions (come rain or shine) makes up for it.
I adore the updates I receive throughout the day, documenting the many activities taking place and the food (all prepared by the chef) my kid has eaten.
I sense in MTO we have found an extension of our family and I look forward to getting to know other parents more as Covid restrictions lift as MTO are keen to cultivate a parent community. I am so pleased to have found MTO childcare centre, my kid absolutely loves it there.
Lennon Cross
June 28, 2025 at 5:19 pmMy son is very cheerful there, the meals are nutritious and tasty. He’s made a lot of development since he started going into the childcare centre and I could go to work being confident my son will be looked after with adore and care from the team at childcare centre. I trust in the carers as if they are my son’s extended family.
