Review of Marks Gate Nursery & Pre-School from A G (Mother of Child) published on 3 August 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have sent all of my children to this nursery/pre-school because of the exceptional care and dedication shown by the staff. They are kind and genuinely committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment for every child.

My children learned so much during their time there and always looked forward to going to school because they felt happy, secure, and well cared for. The nursery also provides thoughtfully prepared, healthy meals, and the chef does a fantastic job.

Thank you to everyone at LEYF Marks Gate Pre-School and Nursery for your hard work and dedication.

Dear Anna,

Review of Brixton Garden Nursery & Pre-school (formerly Little Angel Nursery School) from Pamela N (Mother of Child) published on 31 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The nursery is fantastic, they are extremely supportive and go above and beyond to ensure my little girl gets the best start in life. Recently they provided additional support to enable my little one who struggling with transition to better manage her emotions. They gave us a now and next visual board which we can use at home. This has been excellent. Thanks to all the exceptional staff there.

Review of Brixton Garden Nursery & Pre-school (formerly Little Angel Nursery School) from Amy D (Mother of Child) published on 31 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff at Brixton Garden are incredibly warm, caring, and welcoming. Despite the busy morning drop-offs, they always greet everyone with a smile and a kind word, creating such a positive start to the day.
My daughter comes home every day full of stories, fun facts, and excitement about everything she's learned. It's clear the team puts so much thought into making learning engaging and enjoyable. They also make fantastic use of the garden, which is a real bonus and gives the children plenty of opportunities to explore and play outdoors.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Brixton Garden to any friends looking for a nurturing, fun, and supportive environment for their children

Overall Experience

We have been so pleased with our son's time at Greengate nursery and preschool. My son started here when he was only 16 months old and has grown so much in confidence over the years. The staff have always been kind, caring, and supportive, creating a safe and nurturing environment where he has developed so many new skills. He has loved making friends, taking part in fun activities, going out on short day trips and learning every day. We are very grateful for the wonderful care and dedication of the team and would highly recommend them to other families

Overall Experience

It was one of the best daycares my son could have attended; they always took good care of him, and everyone was always very kind to me. It is a place where children are well cared for and safe, and it has a lovely playground where they can play and have fun. My experience with this daycare was excellent.

Review of Earls Court Nursery & Pre-School from Omar A (Father of Child) published on 8 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Leyf Earls Court, London, has been a great place for my daughter to thrive and progress from the baby room till preschool. With each step, the full team has been involved with intent in her milestones, guiding and actively supporting her growth journey. What stands out is the ability to incorporate feedback in an effective manner and acknowledging when things aren't going the right way, which is exactly why I trust them with my daughter's well-being. I highly recommend it for your babies and toddlers as the level of care is truly genuine.

Special kudos to Caroline, Paris, Hana, Carol, Bemi, and Sunita

My 2 year old son loves the nursery, looks forward to going and we can see the benefits and development that can be directly attributed to the nursery. Initial concerns about the turnover of staff but that seems to have settled. No complaints. Staff seem to genuinely care.

Review of Barking Riverside Nursery & Pre-School from A S (Mother of Child) published on 23 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My eldest went to this nursery until last year and it was great. Staff were amazing. Supported us in settling and toilet training, they ran workshops, told us about progress, did parents evening regularly and got him school ready. We had great experience. My youngest now attends here but the standards have unfortunately fallen so much. Less information is provided to us, they have stopped uploading meals- the reason that was given to us is that staff need more one-to-one time for children the reason that was given to us is that staff need more one-to-one time for children and they do not have time to upload meals?? handover is poor and a lot of the time we hear "I don't know", workshops are less and parents evening has completely stopped- my child has been here for 10 months and nothing. I also feel that there is lack of communication between staff members and staff turnover is quick which impacts the child. The location is good for the area and overall is good, but was excellent.

Overall Experience

My child is at this nursery and is very happy happy there. The staff are warm and conscientious. They seem to really like the children which I am grateful for. They spend a lot of their time doing activities (often messy ones I'm rather relieved not to have to do) and are good at communicating with the parents. I'd recommend it.

Review of Micky Star Nursery & Pre-School from Tracy L (Mother of Child) published on 5 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Micky Star has been a cornerstone of our family's life for years. Our son attended from 13 months old in 2023 until he graduated preschool in 2025, and our daughter is now thriving there, having joined from the baby room in 2025 to the toddler room currently.

Their Montessori-inspired educational framework is fantastic. Children are gently guided to lead their own play and explore age-appropriate activities. They also make wonderful arts and crafts that have become lasting memories for our family. They have a fantastic big garden that allows lots of room to run and play every day, which is amazing for practicing gross motor skills safely. They also enjoy regular trips to local parks and libraries.

Without wider family support in the UK, Micky Star has been our absolute rock. The peace of mind they give us is priceless.

Both of my kids are genuinely happy at every pickup. They have formed beautiful bonds with their peers and the trusted, caring staff. Thank you Micky Star!
