The Wandsworth Day Nursery

My oldest daughter started there nearly 2 years ago and my youngest has been there for 2 months. They both adore going to childcare centre and my eldest begs me to stay longer every time I pick her up! The preschool is a highly nurturing and loving setting. I sense that every teacher knows both my kids in and out, and they take such an interest in their lives and ours as parents. They continue to introduce new and exciting concepts and activities for the kids – such as a library room, rabbits, tadpoles, French lessons, a wellness garden and a construction site! I sense that the content is stimulating and it sparks lots of new conversations between my nearly-3-year-old and myself. We are so cheerful with the school and couldn’t suggest it highly enough! We have had such a positive journey with the Wandsworth Preschool.

We consistently see her on her knees talking to the kids, holding them or playing with them. Our daughter is cheerful and is developing excellent self‑assurance, partly because of the care and education the childcare centre is providing. The premises look tidy, enjoyable and informative and the team seem more relaxed and cheerful. The sports new sessions and the two bunnies/mascots are additional experiences for the kids, which we are highly grateful for. Looking forward to the new system put in place, as is the only thing they are missing at the moment. We have seen a significant improvement in the childcare centre since the latest principal started.

When we were choosing a childcare centre, it stood out for a number of reasons, but primarily it felt highly spacious (especially outside) and incredibly well set up and we were so impressed with the manager who hosted our tour and who was on hand afterwards to deal with any queries. The school and particularly the deputy manager have been so accommodating with a number of start date changes from us and our son has thoroughly enjoyed the time he has spent there to date. His key worker and others in his room are remarkable with him and we are kept up to date daily using the app. With the on-site chef, we know our baby is eating as healthily as he does at home. The journey to date has made the idea of returning to work and leaving the baby in childcare centre four days a week a much less worrying prospect. I will clarify that to date my son has only completed a two-week settling period and one full day at the childcare centre, but I am genuinely so pleased with our decision to send him to The Wandsworth Day Childcare centre.

We’ve had a truly positive journey with the childcare centre and she has been highly cheerful there. The outdoor facilities are fab (the construction area was a big hit!) and the special classes and rabbits were a bonus. The new manager and her team have worked hard to build up the childcare centre staffing and community again, and I sense like they truly knew my daughter well and were excellent at supporting her development. My daughter attended the childcare centre from age 2 right up until leaving to go to school.

It’s been a excellent journey, especially in the last year, since the new principal joined. We truly appreciate her transparency and honesty and we truly trust her and her team! They are highly attentive and experienced, a excellent assistance for us throughout our kids’s development. The space is excellent, the rooms are spacious and full of interesting activities for the kids and we adore the variety: well-being space, library, sensory room, etc. Also, the outdoors is an incredible space, when looking for a childcare centre we were highly firm on the importance of access to the outdoors, which many nurseries in London lack. In this childcare centre, our son spends a great amount of time outdoors and he is engaged with remarkable activities he is keen to tell me all about when I go to pick him up, of course, after a visit to Fluffy and Biscuit! We have been with the childcare centre for the past 4 years when our eldest daughters started (now at school) and then our son attended for the past 2 years.

We consistently found the management, the team, the facilities, the level of attentive for the kids and all the discovering activities incredible! Currently, they even have the cutest bunnies that the kids adore! When my baby boy was ready to start childcare centre we thought trying a different childcare centre was a great idea, but no, it was a big mistake, Wandsworth Day Childcare centre is one of the best in the area and we were by all means, welcome to bring my son in with the greatest flexibility and it was the best decision! He (and us) absolutely adore it and I can just tell by how cheerful he is to go in and when we pick him up. Kudos to the new management and all the team for the exceptional job they do, I cannot suggest it enough! My daughter attended The Wandsworth Day Childcare centre until she started reception in 2021 and she was the happiest there.

It’s a lovely childcare centre with great team and a excellent manager. The rooms are modern and spacious. The handovers are documented. The outside playtime area is truly great and they have bunnies! I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest it. Our daughter went here for a couple of years.

My daughter started when she was 6 months old and we’ve just left (due to leaving London) 2.5 years later. From the first interactions with the childcare centre, it’s been personal. As we joined pre-COVID, the home visit by our mentor was a fantastic touch to help us get to know her. The creativity of the childcare centre and the packed schedule of events, celebrations, artist of the month provides a remarkable level of creativity, which gets everyone involved. I was amazed I could chat with my 2-year-old about famous artists, she put me to shame! The effort and work that went into the playtime at Christmas was again impressive, particularly during a COVID peak. My daughter got truly into nature and by talking to the team they got some caterpillars, did a worm house and grew flowers on the patio. The senior team take time to understand you as a parent too and assistance you when you need it. We were so sad to leave! Personal, empathetic, attentive and creative is how I’d describe The Wandsworth Preschool.

I can directly compare her journey with the childcare centre her older siblings went to and can say with complete self‑assurance that the Wandsworth pre-school is in a whole different league of excellence.
The warmth, creativity, genuine care and consistency of the team has been one of the key reasons my daughter has thrived and loved her time there. The focus on a wide range of artists and the displays and inspiration available to the kids (and their parents) is exceptional. Sometimes wondering through the childcare centre was like going to a creative art installation with so much stimulation and talking points.
Our daughter has loved being able to do ballet, yoga, dance, as well as cooking and lots of singing and dancing. Seeing a whole childcare centre performance of The Wizard of Oz was a definite highlight. My daughter has been at The Wandsworth Preschool for the past three years and I sense so lucky that she’s been able to attend such an incredible childcare centre.

The team and new managers have worked so hard to make it a cheerful, enjoyable place to send kids and they sense relaxed and delight in their days. The new initiatives work truly well and the sports coaching seems truly enjoyable. We adore it there. My daughter was highly cheerful at The Wandsworth Preschool.
