Couldn't be happier with little school house for our toddler who has now been there for 18 months. We are happy with the activities, facilities, provision etc but above all the staff are just so genuinely nurturing of the kids and their development

We couldn't be happier with our experience at this nursery. From day one, the staff have been incredibly welcoming, caring, and attentive. It's clear how much love and dedication they put into creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for the children.

Fabulous Nursery! My now 8 month old son attends the setting 3 days a week and I can't thank not only the staff but management enough! With him being my first, the constant reassurance that he's settled so well and happy in the baby room in such a friendly and caring environment. My son's development
has come on leaps since starting at Perimount and can't thank the girls enough for how attentive they are to his needs. An amazing setting with a warm and supportive atmosphere for which I'd happily recommend to any parent!
Reply from Sheriden Williamson, Manager at Perimount Day NurseryWe are so pleased to read your review, as this is everything we strive for - thank you :)

My son has flourished at The Little School House, repeatedly he has had an understanding and supportive caregiver. He has some quite serious and complex health conditions and needed several surgeries, I could not have asked for more in terms of support from the nursery each recovery.
My one and only
criticism is sometimes he comes back without his gloves
Reply from Beth Softley, Manager at The Little School House Nursery & PreschoolThank you for taking time to review our lovely Nursery. Sadly gloves are harder for parents to label and do occasionally get mixed up, but usually turn up in the end :)

The care given to the children at Highgate Nursery is next to non and the staff are attentive, patient, and clearly passionate about what they do. It's reassuring to know the children are in such a safe and nurturing environment every day.The management team are fantastic as well. They're approachable,
organised, and very flexible when it comes to supporting families, which makes a huge difference for parents with busy schedules. Communication is always clear and helpful. Another thing that really stands out is the food. The meals provided are varied, healthy, and clearly prepared with care. It's great knowing the children are eating nutritious food and being encouraged to try different things. Overall, it's a wonderful nursery with a warm, supportive atmosphere. I'd happily recommend it to any parent looking for a place where their children will be well cared for and happy.

My son has only been with Highgate for 3 months but I can honestly say it's the best decision we ever made. Having moved him from his previous setting, Highgate is second to none. The staff are all lovely, so attentive and caring. Although we are paying double what we did previously, I really don't
think you can put a price on good quality care. My son is so happy and he's come along leaps and bounds since starting. I wish I'd had him start sooner!

Olivia has come home learning loads of new words and songs and counting to 10, told me Kerry do this and began to sing the hello song and list at least four of her friends, I feel between September and November Olivia came on so well and the staff in toddler room was all very supportive with me and
Olivia when we had her baby sister poppy too, keeping Olivia involved! Olivia is always mentioning how Gracie and kerryanne is giving lots of cuddles and I would just like to personally thank you all for how you have kept me going through becoming a new mum again! Thank you

My child has been attending here since March 2025, starting in the baby room and now in the toddler room. The transition from one room to the other was brilliant, they really took their time so everything was really smooth and enjoyable for my son.
All the staff are really friendly, chatty and helpful.
They keep you regularly updated.
Overall fab nursery.

Brilliant nursery ! All the staff are amazing and my child absolutely loves her time in nursery. We're always kept updated about her day and how she's getting on which is really nice. Always feel fully confident my child is in the best hands when shes's there and couldn't recommend this place enough
to any parent looking to start their child in nursery. Always willing to help with any changes our child has and very supportive if we require additional things for her.

I have loved having my son at Highgate Nursery for the past 10 months. I initially started at 2 days a week but have gone to the full week and he absolutely loves it. I feel better knowing he's in safe hands and he has a great time with his teachers and peers all day. Definitely recommend this nursery.

My girl has just transitioned to toddler room but has spent a lovely wonderful year in baby room/older babies, the staff were always so kind, caring and attentive to my girls needs, wants and overall happiness. As a first time mum i was so anxious leaving her at nursery to go back to work but seeing
how much she loves it here and has developed has made it all worth while. The app keeps you updated so you can always look back on her day and the activities they provide are stimulating and challenging. The only honest feedback I could give was when they transition room to room it would be nice to meet the new staff and see the room too.

My daughter started Perimount Day Nursery in September 2025.
I would like to say how pleased i am so far with how my little one has settled in! The whole settling in experience was so reassuring and all the staff was so welcoming which put everything to ease.
All the staff including the management
team Paige & Sheriden have shown so much interest to my daughter's needs, likes and dislikes when starting and i think this is a big reason of her settling in so quick. I love seeing the regular observation on how she is getting on.
Very pleased with this setting would 100% recommend. A bonus to the building also been brand new and beautiful!

The team at the nursery are absolutely brilliant! They're always so helpful and caring, and you can tell how much they love what they do. Our little one looks forward to going every day, which says it all. We love seeing the photos and updates on the app it's such a lovely way to stay connected. Any
little issues have always been dealt with straight away and with great communication. Couldn't ask for a better team!

Do not recommend this nursery. Not only have they changed their rules so that even fully funded children have to pay and invoice due to their rules on hours they've now made me pay an invoice for this month only to tell me a week later that I owe a late payment charge from 4 months ago and my son is
no longer allowed to attend unless this is paid!! Won't give me a refund for the money iv paid for food and nappies and give me no notice to find him a new nursery place. Won't let me speak to management other than 'acting deputy manager' who doesn't know the answer to any question when asked on the phone. Also owe me my 2 daughters deposits but now apparently they were used to clear late payments than didn't exist! Absolutely disgusting money grabbing company. Not only that, there's been several occasions where iv picked my son up and his nappy is either full or iv had to send him back in to have it changed because he's pood and been left in it
Reply from Katie Woodward, Manager at Oak Valley Day NurseryHow sad to read such a vengeful review. As committed as our staff are to their very important roles, caring and educating the children they have responsibility for in the Nursery, they still need paying !!

My little girl absolutely loves it's here every morning she smiles when she sees the teachers. The staff are very friendly and are happy to answer any questions I have. I just know my girl is been looked after and having a brilliant time and is learning while she's there. I feel parents are always kept
in the loop with events, illnesses and what their child has done while there

I couldn't recommend Highgate enough. My little boy has been attending weekly since 9 months old, he is now nearly 3. All the rooms have amazing, patient and such caring staff. They're all so lovely. They all go above and beyond with my little boys type 1 diabetes and the communication is brilliant.
I am so grateful that I can leave my little boy in Highgate's care and know his diabetes is handled with care and urgency. The learning curriculum is also fab.
Reply from Chloe Jones, Manager at Highgate Day NurseryThank you for taking time to write a lovely review. We ensure all staff are first aid trained in our setting which helps to give confidence to parents. We are so pleased you feel that too :)
