Seahorse Nursery - Wimbledon Park Day Nursery

Super nursery – structured, but flexible. Seahorse manages to blend a caring environment with a firm intention to progress the children. The management and members of staff are switched on and on my wavelength. My daughter incorporates polite turns of phrases in her chat that we haven’t taught her yet. Her interest in books and recognition of numbers are impressive (the latter aided I think by watching Numberblocks on CBBC). Her creation of pieces of art is encouraging, especially as we don’t do much art at home to avoid the mess. She says (since she turned two) she has enjoyed her day. I speak to many parents in a park who want or wanted their child to go to Seahorse, but couldn’t for lack space at the relevant time. I feel she is having a quality experience.

My daughter started Seahorse when she was 1. She left in August this year aged 3.5 due to starting at a nursery attached to future primary school. I truly believe she could not have been more cared for and nurtured in the way that she has been by Seahorse. From day 1, they went out of their way to make sure she was settling in well and forming strong bonds with the staff in her room (and looking after me as I left in tears). They always provided detailed feedback on how she spent her days, including emotions/food eaten/who she had played with etc. When picking up, I would often come a bit early and everyone was having a blast whether it was reading funny stories or playing games. My daughter has the best sense of humour and is so kind and considering the time spent at Seahorse, they must at least partly take the credit. Issues like when she was scared of fireworks or would not sleep in her own bed were overcome through things Seahorse did or suggested. Thoroughly recommend them.

We had an overall good experience with Seahorse Nursery, can’t really compare to any other nurseries as we have no prior nursery experience. At times we did feel communication from nursery was poor and sometimes combative; this has however improved in the last few months since Seahorse reopened after lockdown 1 and our daughter finally moved up to the next level. We also feel that the high turnover of staff is not ideal. When we enrolled our daughter back in January 2019 we did so because of the staff but in the time she left the baby room not a single one of the staff members were still with the nursery. Last thing the parent app is terrible and in today’s day and age of technology, surely there must be something better out there.
Overall we had a good experience and would like to thank you for being part of our daughter’s younger years education.

Lovely family nursery – my son was so happy at Seahorse.

Lovely, caring staff and management. Great learning plan, and we fully credit my son’s readiness for school to Seahorse.

Nutritious food and good facilities.

We miss it!

The team at Seahorses have a great programme that has taken great care of our son. He grew in confidence and really has embraced the fun and engaging learning. His key worker went out of her way to get to know him and help him settle and then has been there to give hugs and challenge him whenever he needed it. The programme delivered is stimulating, educating, and above all fun, what more could you ask for, for your little one!

Our daughter has had an amazing experience throughout her time at Seahorse Nursery – Wimbledon Park Day Nursery. Based at the Parkhouse venue she has blossomed into a smart, emotionally, intelligent and happy child. She loves the teachers and other children. They participate in a range of activities such as tennis and French, spend plenty of time outdoors and generally just have a lot of fun! We can’t imagine sending her anywhere better!
