Day Nurseries Owned by Ladybird Nurseries in London

Every member of staff at Ladybird has been fantastic. As parents, it gives us so much reassurance knowing our daughter is in such capable and caring hands, and we feel incredibly grateful to have them looking after her.

Communication there is excellent. We receive regular updates, observations and reports on how she is progressing, which allows us to feel involved in her development and celebrate her achievements alongside the nursery team. It's clear that they take the time to really get to know each child as an individual.

We honestly couldn't ask for anything more. We would highly recommend the nursery to any family looking for a safe, happy and nurturing environment for their child.

All the staff in ladybird nursery are very welcoming , my daughter loves to go every week and see all her friends and staff she talks about them every time she comes back home with a big smile on her face. She is always excited to go and play with her friends , going out in the garden and being creative ladybird nursery is a very happy, warm , and comfortable environment .

A wonderful nursery where children are truly supported - highly recommended.

We're so happy this nursery opened just when we were starting to look for one for our little girl. Not only is the location amazing for us (there wasn't one in this area before), but its facilities and staff are amazing. The rooms are gorgeous, our daughter particularly loves the sensory room, and their outside area is safe and provides great entertainment all year round. We also get updates all day long via the app and some photos at the end of the day, so we know what our children have been up to. The staff also always takes the time to talk about their day at pick up. That nursery feels very inclusive, as they regularly organise celebrations from many different cultures, which we're happy our daughter can experience. We also appreciate being invited to celebrate events with the children at the nursery (like Christmas, Mother's day...) which allows parents to see their children grow in that environment, as well as get to know the staff and other parents better.

Our son has attended Ladybird nursery in Anerley since he was a year old. He started in the baby class through to pre-school age. We initially chose the nursery based on local recommendations and we were not disappointed. We found that their commitment to communication, education and particularly fun and play were so apparent from his journey at the nursery. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and supportive and had my son's and families best interests at heart. We found it also immensely helpful with their guidance and support with potty training as well. We are very sad to be moving and leaving the nursery but will always have fond memories of my son's early years there - Thank you

The nursery itself is newly refurbished, bright and clean. The back garden is perfect for exploring.

If you get a chance to visit, do it and talk to the staff. They are really wonderful.

We couldn't be more grateful for the experience our daughter had at Ladybird Nursery Anerley. From early on, she thrived-consistently happy, confident, and excited to go in every day. The staff are great: warm, caring, and creative.

There's a real sense of community at Ladybird, and we always felt that our daughter was not just well cared for, but genuinely known and nurtured as an individual. The team are always thinking of new and engaging ways to spark the children's curiosity and creativity, and it made such a difference to our daughter's early development.

When it came time for her to leave for primary school, we were genuinely sad to say goodbye-it felt like leaving a second family. Thankfully, our youngest has now started at Ladybird too and is already settling in beautifully. It's such a comfort to know she's in such a positive, supportive environment.

We could not have been happier with our daughter's experience at Ladybird. She joined at 11 months and after a somewhat tricky settle in (to not fault of the nursery), soon grew to love the staff and nursery. She has just left at 4 and a half to go to school and we were all so sad for her to leave - even though our second baby was due to join the following week. We have been very impressed by their care, communication and commitment to the welfare and development of our children and are very happy our son is being looked after by them for the next 3 years.

Our daughter has been attending Ladybird nursery since June 2023. She's formed great bonds with her peers cultivated by the caring and kind key workers who support the children. It's a really homely environment and provides lots of engaging and interesting activities. Communication with parents and caregivers is great and I get the sense they really care about the children in their care. Our daughter has really thrived since attending.

All three of my children have attended Ladybird and been very happy there. It offers a wide range of activities and experiences-trips out and integrating with the local community. They are always doing something fun and educational. The staff genuinely love the children and this shines through. Ladybird is a warm, nurturing environment filled with love and laughter. We will miss it!

At the end of nursery our son got a place at a competitive private school in London.

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. My son has had three very happy years here and is heading off to school full of confidence and excited for the challenge ahead due to the care, encouragement and stimulation the wonderful nursery staff have given him. The creative output they provide is truly fantastic, from art to baking to Spanish to dancing to water games in the garden during hot weather and Christmas parties and fairs during the winter. As an active child he has plenty of opportunity to let off steam in the garden or during Mini Athletics which he loves. The nursery also encourages a love of books which is great for us to see at home when he tells us about his favourites. Parents are given regular feedback and if there is ever a learning point the nursery staff are quick to raise it and discuss how best to speak to the child about it so that there is consistent messaging. I have loved watching him thrive in this environment and can only hope he loves school as much.

The management and deputy management is supportive, it has been a welcoming environment for all of my children returning to read to the younger kids after they have left. It has been a huge positive part of our children's personal growth.,

After a disappointing previous nursery experience, we approached Ladybird Anerley (Jan 2024-Aug 2025) with natural apprehension. What an absolutely incredible journey it's been! The staff and management are genuinely exceptional, proactive, thoughtful, and truly caring. Our daughter has completely blossomed, coming home excited every single day, eager to share all the wonderful activities and fun experiences. The warm smiles at drop-off and pick up, detailed daily updates, and genuine interest in her development made all the difference. My parental anxiety completely disappeared knowing she was in such amazing hands. The team's energy and dedication is remarkable. As she transitions to primary school, we'll miss Ladybirds tremendously. Cannot recommend this outstanding nursery highly enough - what a truly amazing team!

The relatively small size of the nursery provides a genuinely family feel. We have been lucky to have them for the last three years.

The staff's genuine care is evident; they've truly helped us navigate parenting unknowns. Their support and the peace of mind they provide are invaluable. My son is school-ready, and we're thrilled my daughter remains part of the Ladybird family. Thank you, Ladybird!

Ladybirds Beckenham is incredible. My son started in Oct '21 and will leave in August '25 and from beginning to end I have nothing but praise for all of the staff. From before joining they have gone above and beyond to deal with my son's complex allergies whilst making him feel included in whatever the other children are eating. Their chef and staff have managed to deal with it at every stage and been excellent. The staff are caring, fun, focused and creative - my son will leave being able to write his letters and basic words and read pushing on for level 3 books and that's a reflection of how fun they make learning. Their days are enriched by extra learning such as Spanish, athletics, visits from a zoo and trips out and about. Parents are always welcome to join in and share cultures / heritage. Class sizes are a great smaller size making it easy for children and parents to get to know one another!

Ladybird nurseries in Anerley is a nursery I would highly recommend. Our little one has been going there since she was 4.5 months old and they have taken such good care of her. The staff is very professional and interested in helping and supporting your child. They do many activities with the parents, something I very much enjoyed, and if you have any questions they respond very quickly. It's a great feeling to leave your child in hands. Our little one enjoyed playing in their gardens very much, and she's learned how to eat well at nursery too (something we found rather difficult at home at times). She made many friends at the nursery and we're going to miss the staff a lot!

Our son attended Ladybird Nursery - Penge from just over 3 years old until he left for school aged almost 5 and he absolutely loved it there. He settled in very quickly after moving from his childminder and developed strong relationships with both his peers and the team. The nursery is relatively small, which helps create a cosy, family-like feel and the lovely staff contribute to this. I never needed to worry about his well-being while he was in their care. They also put a lot of emphasis on the children's emotional and mental development which really helped our son transition into Reception when it was sadly time to say goodbye to Ladybird. I wholeheartedly recommend the nursery and will hopefully be using it again in the future!
