September 7, 2024 at 8:44 pmBut, in that time he could not have been more loved and cared for. He was consistently excited to go to childcare centre everyday and all of the team, from owners and management to the most junior carers, truly made it sense like a home. The quality of care was exceptional and I only wish we did not have to move so we could have kept our son in for longer. Our son was at Noddy’s Childcare centre School for only a six month period as we had to move.

November 25, 2024 at 6:54 pmI looked at a fair few nurseries before choosing them and the deciding factor was how ‘home-like’ and personal it felt rather than just another chain as I saw with some others. The school is in a huge Victorian house and feels so bright, colourful and welcoming. I also like the fact that each classroom is sorted by age so I know my daughter has a full week of activities for her and stage of development. She’s 2.5 and can count objects, knows colours, body parts, emotions and days of the week. She brings home art and I get daily activity photos and observations and reports on the app when she reaches another milestone. And she loves it. On the way home, she often asks to go back to school to continue playing with her friends. All the team know her by name and it’s such a joyous place. I honestly can’t think of more I would want from a childcare centre. We absolutely adore Noddys and our little girl is thriving there.

December 5, 2024 at 5:13 amI was initially highly worried about her being away from me for such long periods but the carers at Noddy’s are absolutely remarkable. When I dropped her off this morning she literally screamed with delight when she saw her carers and she is eating well, sleeping well and developing at an incredible speed now she is able to be with other little ones. The garden space is lovely (and mostly shaded) and they have so many different toys and playtime options. The app keeps us updated with any sleep, nappy change, food consumed and also has photos and a written update most days. The fees are quite high but not too extreme in the context of childcare centre charges in the Putney area and I sense like we get complete value for money as I can go to work and not worry about how she is doing. It is a remarkable site and I couldn’t suggest it more. I am the mother of a 13-month-old who has just started childcare centre for the first time a few weeks ago.

December 21, 2024 at 5:52 amMy eldest son also went to Noddy’s Childcare centre for 2 years (started in 2016) so it has been so nice that my youngest son gets to meet so many of the team that are still at the childcare centre and looked after his brother.
I believe the team are a testament to the management team and owner as many of them have been working at the childcare centre for a long time which to me shows the setting is worth staying for.
The activities available to the kids throughout the week are broad and my son loves the sports session. The care that my son receives from the team is flawless and they consistently go the extra mile.
I couldn’t think of a better place for my son to be cared for and I am grateful for the work they do every day to encourage my son to meet the next milestone in his discovering journey. My son (almost 3 years old) has been going to Noddy’s Childcare centre since 2019 and he absolutely loves the childcare centre thanks to all the hard-working team.

January 24, 2025 at 9:46 amThere are a lot of activities like mini sports, dancing, singing etc throughout the day, but above all, the carers are incredible and create a inviting and homely setting for my little one. My daughter is just over 2 and she absolutely loves Noddy’s.

January 28, 2025 at 3:43 amOur son loved his time there. The childcare centre team are incredible, consistently going the extra mile and so attentive.
Every day when we dropped off and collected our son he was so cheerful to be dropped off with his peers and educators. Noddy’s Childcare centre (Gwendolen Avenue) is one of the happiest places ever.

February 27, 2025 at 10:17 pmThe care his key worker has given him as well as all the team has been incredible. It was a big moment putting him into childcare centre as he was only 7 months old but he has just taken to it so well and I never worried about him at all.
Thank you for looking after him so well! My little boy has absolutely loved his time at Noddys Childcare centre School.

March 23, 2025 at 4:28 amShe has loved it and has been cared for consistently since we first sent her. It is clear that the team and management here genuinely adore the kids and we couldn’t be happier with the childcare centre. They have handled the covid pandemic highly well and have remained open for key workers’ kids throughout 2020. Our daughter has been in Noddy’s since September ‘19.

March 26, 2025 at 4:55 pmHe loves the food here. My son has attended Noddy’s Childcare centre School for the last 6 months, his carers have been welcoming, loving and understanding.
Whenever we have had a problem, it was addressed swiftly and professionally.
The kids do lots of activities, the reports are remarkable and my kid develops so quickly while at childcare centre.
The meals are varied and lovely and my son consistently asks for seconds.

April 4, 2025 at 7:02 amThey went through a phase of quite high team turnover a year or so ago, but I think the management have listened to the team’s concerns and this has been rectified.
My son has special needs and his key carers were all exceptional, dedicated and went the extra (several) miles. He was highly well socialised when he moved to a specialist setting and has thrived since.
My daughter has now moved on to Reception at school and has settled in highly easily because she was so well prepared. Her literacy and numeracy are at the top of her class. She is also mature amongst her peers and is loving the school setting and discovering in general because the Aqua Room team made sure she was ready.
We are still in touch with all her childcare centre friends and their families and she has a highly healthy social life outside of school as a result. And we have also made “friends for life” in a number of the other parents. The team and the other kids make Noddy’s a highly special cheerful place.

April 18, 2025 at 7:11 pmHe enjoys being here and we are cheerful to leave him and reassured by daily app updates of his activities and development. The team are fantastic, consistently cheerful and highly creative. They clearly care and have an interest in getting to know each kid. We have found Noddy’s to be a welcoming and secure place for our son.

May 23, 2025 at 5:58 pmExceptionally great care, the kids LOVED all the key workers (in fact my oldest one insisted on inviting hers to her 4th birthday party :). Everything runs smoothly, the administration is well organised and efficient, food is better than what I cook (I am told, on great authority), the activities they do are just exceptional (tennis! woodwork! small sports! music with Jane! dancing! etc., etc., etc.). The kids spend a great amount of time outside too, and the routines are flexible enough to accommodate individual requirements (e.g. my little one still naps while most of his group doesn’t, so he goes into another class for his nap). The girls are so highly compassionate, and obviously passionate about the kids, the job, etc.
We will miss Noddy’s dearly once our little one leaves next summer and wholeheartedly suggest it to anyone considering a childcare centre place. I have had two kids at Noddy’s for 3+ years each, and I cannot suggest the childcare centre highly enough!

June 16, 2025 at 2:17 pmHe loves going to Noddy’s. Team are highly welcoming and he has made a number of friends in his room. The daily activities are incredible. He does crafts, singing, phonics, plays in the garden, learns about seasons etc. He also does small sports, music, drama and is about to start French. My son is consistently given opportunities to learn further. All team clearly follow policies and are consistent in their approach. Managers are well‑informed as well as approachable. The food is remarkable and kids’s needs are consistently taken into account. My son is 3 years old.

June 26, 2025 at 2:18 pmWe are constantly updated throughout the day and are given constant insights into her development. We can not suggest Noddy’s highly enough. Noddy’s is a fantastic childcare centre – our daughter absolutely loves her days and comes out so full of joy.
