As well as offering light and bright indoor areas, children at the nursery are encouraged to spend time in the garden, which is educationally designed to encourage children to wander, climb, splash.

The team recognise the importance of building and maintaining parent partnerships, and aim to secure bonds between each child and the nursery team by providing daily updates and photos about your child’s routine and activities.

By always encouraging natural curiosity, the nursery team work tirelessly to give children a 'head start' as they take their next steps into the big, exciting world.

My daughter has been attending Head Start Day Nursery Crews Hill for a number of months now. She really enjoys her time there and she loves all of the staff. She always has a big smile on her face when she is picked up and the staff always greet her with a happy smile.

The staff have been spectacular with our son.
He has only been at the nursery for a very short time but it feels like they are an extension of the family and he has loved being there.
There is always a smiling face and warm welcome every morning and the communication from the office is second to
none.
He has learned so much from the staff in the short time he has been there and we could not be happier with this nursery.

We have just had to leave the incredible team at Head Start Day Nursery Enfield due to relocation for work. My son started attending the nursery when he was 6 months old and progressed through the classes up to pre-school. The team is led by an incredibly organised, efficient and supportive manager,
who keeps parents well informed and updated. The whole staff team including the on-site chef, are all so friendly and enthusiastic. The cheerful smiles of each and every one of them in the mornings at drop off is a such a welcome relief for any parent but when they’re dancing at the door calling your sons name like staff do it really is the sunshine to both mine and my sons day. Big thank you to the Head Start team at crews hill. We could not recommend their care more highly.

Head Start Enfield is a wonderful learning environment with staff who take time to know every single child. Our little one has thrived here and talks fondly of his days spent exploring and learning new knowledge and developing skills. We cannot praise Head Start Nursery Enfield enough. The daily updates
are excellent and the accompanying images and videos mean we can keep up to date and be part of our child's learning journey.

Head start Day Nursery is a very safe, nurturing nursery. They look after each child as if they were their own. They do lots of varied activities and encourage all children to try new things. They celebrate all different events and days, some even I haven't heard of, and decorate parts of the room with
children's work before parents receive them.

During the pandemic, I was looking for a local nursery and I found Head Start Day Nursery Enfield and was so pleased because it is local.
The staff and management are so friendly and welcoming. I have a daughter in the under 2’s room and she is so excited to go to nursery every morning.
The manager
is really helpful and calmed all my fears as I had to return to work early after maternity I felt a bit anxious about leaving my 8-month-old baby.
However, the manager reassured me that she would be in good hands and I am happy to say that she is.

Both my daughters have been attending Head Start Day Nursery Enfield since they were fice and a half months old, They have and continue to receive wonderful care and the staff has been amazing in helping with weaning, walking and potty training. The quality and diversity of the activities the children
enjoy is excellent and the staff is very nice at every level, with management really involved in every group. The outdoor space is incredible and the children benefit from the huge indoor and outdoor space every day of the year. My daughters absolutely love the nursery, we send them in full confidence and we can see they are extremely happy there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The best nursery I have come across with the most caring and attentive staff. My daughter absolutely adores the staff. One staff member has been with my daughter from day one and luckily she has moved from one room to another together with my daughter, it has been amazing to have such continuity! From
day one all staff asked what we do at home, what nappies/potty/creams we use/what my daughter eats/likes and dislikes. Due to not being fluent in English, staff were eager to learn Russian to ensure they can communicate with my daughter. I cannot describe how accommodating this nursey is and innovative. Management brought in an app to show the process of each child including the new little chicks that can grow together with children and help them learn new skills, being caring, attentive and kind, sensitive and emotionally calm. My niece and nephew have started this nursery too now and every evening cannot wait to be back! The thought of leaving the nursery one day makes us feel like we will lose our close family members.

Our daughter has been at Head Start since February 2020. Our older daughter has been at two other nurseries and I can wholeheartedly say this is the best one. The genuine affection and care for the children is so evident in all of the staff - it’s a joy to watch. My daughter is extremely happy and has

Great team, lovely location and the key workers really do care about the children. Deciding on where to send your little one can be a difficult choice but the team at Head Start Day Nursery Enfield made it very easy and we knew it was the right place for my daughter. They look after the children extremely

My son has been at Head Start Day Nursery Enfield for over two years now, from when he turned a year old. The staff have been consistently brilliant from then until now, from reassuring an uneasy mother going back to work, to taking such good care of my son. The staff are very welcoming, the children

Starting our child at a nursery during a pandemic and returning to work after maternity leave was a very stressful experience but Head Start Day Nursery Enfield made the transition as easy as it could ever be. We have been so impressed by the strong leadership team who have enabled us to feel safe in
the knowledge that our daughter is well looked after and our needs as parents are always addressed without judgement and always in a professional way. My daughter’s key person and baby room and toddler room staff are so caring, friendly and seem to genuinely like our child. Our little one is so happy every morning when she arrives at nursery and the communication with us is always brilliant. Any issue we have had or any concern we have raised is dealt with promptly. We have one hundred percent confidence and couldn’t be happier. Considering the difficult year, the staff team always have a smile on their face and seem to really enjoy their work. We would recommend Head Start Day Nursery Enfield to all our friends!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been attending Head Start Day Nursery Enfield for three years and he has always enjoyed nursery. He looks forward to seeing staff and peers and has always spoken fondly of his key workers. When he attended as a baby, his needs were always met by the very attentive staff. In all of the rooms,
the staff pay great attention to really getting to know your child, making them comfortable and building their confidence as they move through the nursery. We liked that the children make the transition to the preschool rooms as this has helped prepare our son for primary school. The activities planned engage and challenge him and when he comes home, how he tells us about the variety of tasks they have completed. Staff welcome you to share with them the learning taking place in other environments, so that they can build on this within the nursery setting. The use of the app has enabled parents to engage more thoroughly with the learning through regular updates and photos. A great nursery!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.934)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.934) out of 10 for Crews Hill Day Nursery and Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.934 for Crews Hill Day Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (299 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 318 Ratings = 4.934
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Crews Hill Day Nursery and Pre-School is based on 27 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 75 number of registered child places is 15, which has been reached with 27 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2021

Hello, I'm Stephanie, and I am the Nursery Manager at Head Start Day Nursery & Pre-school, Crews Hill.


I joined Head Start Day Nursery in April 2021 as the Deputy Manager and led SENCO. Alongside this, I also support the staff and children in our rooms.


I have over 12 years of childcare experience alongside my BA Hons, both of which I use to provide support to the staff, children, and parents. High-quality care and the happiness of the children at the nursery are my main priorities. If a child feels safe and happy in their environment, we are able to help them learn and develop.
