Day Nurseries Owned by Noddy's Nursery School in London

We sent both of our children to Noddy's from the start. We only left because we moved house, and even then we spent a year and a half commuting (a longer commute than we'd like to admit) because we couldn't find a nursery that lived up to Noddy's. It is on the more expensive side, but the staff are incredibly nurturing, particularly in the baby rooms. We felt as if we were leaving our girls with another parent / older sibling. An emotional goodbye was said to noddy's yesterday, but we shall definitely be visiting! Thank you Noddy's.

Noddy's is a wonderful nursery that took great care of my son. He gained so much confidence and always had fun. The staff are very caring and there's a real emphasis on love and support. On the rare occasion we had any issues, everyone was compassionate and communicated everything very clearly. I also really liked the app was for seeing what the children had been doing during the day. Feel very fortunate to have found Noddy's and would highly recommend.

Great focus on emotional maturity and independence of children. Very low staff turnover, which really helps (this was a big issue at our previous nursery). Obviously very highly trained staff. And just lots and lots of things that Noddy's simply got right - it's hard to pinpoint the most important ones, because the end result is incredible - our son had a fantastic 2 years at Noddy's, he's grown in every way we could only imagine, and loved every day of it. Despite being quite shy at first, made a load of friends he still keeps in touch with now that he is at school.

The one big downside has been the sickness policy - which I and many others have raised several times to management several times without adequate response, therefore I feel I must mention it here and put 4 stars instead of 5. It is the strictest we have ever come across from speaking to friends/family etc, and, whilst there are obvious beneficial reasons for this from the Covid era; the multiple 48hour 'lock outs' for infringements lead to very difficult and costly periods for us as working parents, which the nursery are most unsympathetic to. At times almost the whole class would be off for weeks at a time. I believe Noddy's would benefit from addressing this and bringing it in line with other nurseries.

Our son has been at Noddy's for 2 and a half years now and it has been amazing all the way through. Both my wife and I work quite long hours and so he's often there from 7.30 until 18.30 so it was super important that we found somewhere perfect. He has loved every class and has gone from strength to strength. It really feels like a family and every member of the team is on first-name terms with us and our son, so we all really feel at home. He's going to be gutted to leave next year to go to school but Noddy's have set him up perfectly. They balance development and fun perfectly and have so many additional things like sports, farm visits, theatre visits and taking the bus on trips to Richmond! Would highly recommend.

Leaving as we have moved out of the area.

I wholeheartedly recommend Noddy's to any prospective parents.

They have brilliant staff, a lovely nursery in a great location. My son was very happy here and my other son is also looking forward to enrolling later this year. The price is certainly not cheap, but fair for what they offer.

My daughter had a brilliant time at Noddy’s. The staff were all amazing. They were consistent, friendly and really cared for her. I felt confident that she was being really well looked after physically and emotionally and that they knew her really well. The communication was great, and really reassuring / fun to see updates and pictures throughout the day and we could see how much fun she was having. My daughter’s development came on leaps and bounds at Noddy’s and I would recommend them to anyone.

Our son spent his early years at Noddy's from age one to four and has now left for reception. We have had the most positive family experience over this time there, he received such love and care from the staff and it truly was a home away from home for us. He is now exceptionally well prepared for his next step too and we thank the staff of Noddy's for their significant contribution.

Our daughter was at Noddy's Nursery School (Gwendolen Avenue) for almost four years and it was such a wonderful time for all of us! We always felt we were being supported by very warm, respectful and experienced teachers and we had lots of great memories - and now she has grown into a very confident and chatty girl thanks to all her friends and teachers. Definitely one of the luckiest thing in our life that we got the space in Noddy's four years ago! I really appreciate all Noddy's teachers and staff for making our daughter's first chapter of life so special. We all miss Noddy's and highly recommend it to the new parents.

Noddy's is a warm and nurturing nursery. Our daughter spent two years there and was always happy. She made many friends and the staff were always friendly and attentive. The nursery has a homey feel, which is what made us choose it in the first place, but the lovely carers and teachers really make it a second home for the children which is super important given most of them spend all day there. Highly recommend.

Noddy's has been a fantastic nursery for our children. The kids were always well looked after and happy to go to nursery. Both my girls learnt a lot and most importantly had lots of fun! The teachers were caring and attentive and they prepared them well for the transition to school. A very positive experience for both kids and parents!

Our son has been at Noddy's since he turned one and we couldn't be happier with both his and our parental experience. It is a family-run business, which really shows, with kind and dedicated teachers who really get to know each child and nurture them individually. The care our son has been shown is incredible and he has learnt so much in his time there as well as having a lot of fun! Highlights for our son are the extra activities the nursery provides such as Heart Beeps when he was younger, 'small sports' and even Spanish lessons, as well as delicious food which he always has seconds of. The nursery throws parties for different occasions such as the coronation, Notting Hill carnival etc. and brings in farm animals once a year, which he has really enjoyed. We couldn't ask for a better start in life for our son and would highly recommend this nursery to other families - our other son will be joining him soon!

My daughter is currently in the ‘Starfish’ room at Trinity Church Hall. Since joining the nursery in September of last year, I have seen her physical and social development come on leaps and bounds. The staff are incredible and always make a huge fuss of her when she arrives in the morning which has made the transition from home to nursery seamless. Her fine motor skills have been really encouraged when eating and the staff have been exceptional in teaching her how to hold utensils as well as showing her how to clean up afterwards. The nursery are fantastic at planning out their day and we have been given access to what this looks like through an app, where I receive notifications all throughout the day telling me when she has eaten (and what/how much), when she has had a nappy change and what activities she has been up to! Activities range from painting/messy play to music and sensory classes. Recently they had a visit from some farmyard animals, which we thought was amazing!

Noddy's is a wonderful nursery - our daughter absolutely loves her days and comes out so full of joy. We are constantly updated throughout the day and are given constant insights into her development. We can not recommend Noddy's highly enough.

I couldn't be more delighted with Noddy's. My son has been attending four days a week since he was 17 months old and he is now nearly 3 years old. The environment is very much a home away from home, the playground is very well equipped, the food is excellent and the staff are some of the most lovable, patient, amazing people. My son absolutely adores them all. The app is fantastic and allows you to keep up to date with things as well as look at the lovely pictures in the gallery. 10/10 to Noddy's - thank you!

Our second son is about to finish at Noddy’s (end of August) and we couldn’t be happier with the care that both boys received. From when they were 9 months old up until now our son/s have been happy, stimulated and well looked after. Professional staff that make this nursery ‘home from home’ is priceless. Nothing was ever too much for them. Activities, resources, outside space - all of this was great. The only down thing is that we will be sad to leave after all these years!

I was apprehensive about my daughter starting nursery in January but needn't have been. The team at Noddy's have been fantastic. Everyone was so welcoming and so much time and attention was given to the settling-in process and this was an enormous help (for both her and me!). The staff are kind and caring and come up with so many fun activities for the children to get involved in, I love seeing what they get up to each day on the app. My daughter loves going to nursery and I cannot recommend Noddy's highly enough.

We’ve had a really wonderful experience, from our first visit to our daughter being as settled and cared for as possible. The building, staff, activities and environment is the absolute best we could imagine for our daughter and we’ve seen this in her development and how much she enjoys going! Incredibly happy with our decision to send her to such a lovely nursery.
