Day Nurseries Owned by Children First in London

compassion. The key workers are very creative & vibrant, finding fun & stimulating activities for the children. There is also a great program of activities which our son loved - from Yoga to Spanish lessons which really enriched his experience. He made a great little band of friends which was amazing to see them all growing & flourishing together.
The communication is fantastic with the staff, giving a verbal report at the end of everyday. The food is all made in house, which was also a great highlight for our son! We have nothing but fond memories of the time he spent at Independent Place & are super greatful to the staff for the part they played in shaping his first years

the app, and face to face at pick up) are very thorough.
Queens has been the perfect environment in getting our children ready for school, and we can't recommend it highly enough

care so much about the children and show such love and care in their work with them. They are kind and gentle and worked closely with us to ensure our child had a gentle and smooth transition to nursery. The class/group sizes are small and the environment calm and not overwhelming. The activies and curriculum is engaging, thought through and varied with alot of collabouration with the parents.
The team provide consistent and regular updates and there is a genuine community that has developed with the families which we were immediately welcomed into. Very happy with the care provided and could not recommend highly enough!

us to be apart from her. The environment is engaging and stimulating, with varied activities that help her learn and grow. Regular events involving parents are a lovely touch, helping us feel part of the community. Communication is excellent, and we always feel informed about her day, progress, and those little moments that mean so much. The nursery has a real family feel, where every child is valued as an individual. We feel so lucky to have found a place where our daughter is happy, confident, and thriving

I would highly recommend

Would highly recommend this nursery to any parents in the area.

out confident and ready for school.

! Both my husband and I can drop our babies off knowing they are being taken care of and supported extensively. The app is also updated regularly to show what they are doing, how they have been eating etc which gives us a peace of mind. My daughter is also supported with her reading and writing skills and has been loving doing her practices with her teacher. I definitely cannot recommend Queens Nursery enough.

with the menu provided, which they ensure that they consult parents on what they would like to see the children eating. He has definitely benefited positively from being amongst a group of his peers and it has prepared him so well to start school this year. Couldn't recommend the nursery more.

outstanding. Each and every team member is caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children's well-being and development. We feel completely confident leaving our daughters in their care every day. They are reliable, responsible, and consistently go above and beyond to make sure each child feels safe, happy, and valued.

What has meant the most to us is how supportive the nursery has been through each stage of our girls' growth - from helping with the transition into group care, to encouraging independence, to supporting their emotional and social development. We're not just dropping them off each day - we're entrusting them to a team that genuinely partners with us as parents.

out for some excursions to discover and be part of the community. It's an excellent nursery.

to earth, and they put so much care and attention into helping to raise your children. The activities, learning, food, local excursions, and specialist teacher sessions they run for the children are top class. The engagement with the local community (forest, library, care home, tube station, shopping centre, cafes) is also very special. They go above and beyond to involve parents and family members and I have felt included in my children's journeys throughout (and have made some close friends of my own too!). Both my children have had wonderfully enriching experiences at Queens and remember their teachers and the friendships they made there with incredible warmth. Thank you Queens Nursery.

for school. The staff are brilliant, and I feel really safe leaving my son with them. Having experienced really bad nursing, it's amazing when you find somewhere as good as Queens.

to the local care home. We love how the nursery is such an important part of the community and the children are exposed to 'real life'. The school readiness programme is also excellent, as are the weekly classes, and general communication. It's just a great place!

parents' suggestion so quickly and the variety of activities is brilliant, helping children nurture many skills. We know our daughter is in safe hands when she walks through the doors in the morning. It's clear to see what a welcoming, warm environment has been fostered in the pre school.

to support them, and do an excellent job of communicating with parents. The facilities are great as well - our son loves playing football in the garden! We'll be very sad when their time at the nursery comes to an end.

education activities both from in house staff and external providers. It really blows my mind how much she has learnt in such a short space of time, she is very prepared for school. They have a focus on wellbeing and kindness which I absolutely love, including understanding and expressing emotions. The food is great and the meal plan is approved by a nutritionist.
