Little Garden The Clapham Day Nursery & Pre-School

We're very happy with our son's time at Little Garden Clapham Day Nursery - the team did such a superb job looking after him. He attended over the last year, ahead of starting school this September. His teachers there were very attentive to his needs, and very kind, cooperative and engaging in their approach. It was always a pleasure to receive the daily updates and photos from the team, and to hear from our son himself, as to how he enjoyed playing, singing, dancing and learning. Days when he was not there he missed his teachers and on his nursery days he was excited to be going. We are very thankful to all at Little Garden Clapham Day Nursery for making it such a wonderful time for him!

My daughter started at the nursery during the last lockdown. The team at Clapham Day Nursery and Preschool immediately put me at ease in terms of the measures in place for Covid security whilst still making it a fun place to play and learn for the kids. My daughter felt at ease immediately and really didn't need settling in with bonds quickly formed with the nursery staff and the other children. She would regale me with all the activities the staff and the children were involved in every day. And often asked to go to nursery when it was the weekend, I think it's always a good sign when the staff look like they enjoy working there and the children enjoy being there. I would happily recommend the nursery.

They’ve been very communicative and collaborative with parents during Covid and also flexible depending on each family’s requirements.

My little girl is 9 months old and has been going to the nursery since mid-October. She is very happy and settled there, her days are very varied with different activities and toys to play with and she gets plenty of variety of meals and snacks each day. The facilities are very good and the garden area is well used. The staff are all excellent, they genuinely care and are building a great rapport with me and my child. They use an app to communicate information, updates and photographs which I love. It is a huge weight off my mind that I don't need to worry about her as I have returned to work, as I know she is happy and well cared for. I highly recommend!

My son started at Little Garden in Clapham in July this year. He settled in well and loves all the staff. He’s made friends and talks about the fun he has with them each day. The daily updates are a great way of keeping up to date on his progression, and also gives me ideas of what to do with him when we’re together. He’s learning so much, whilst having lots of fun and is really thriving. Would not hesitate to recommend it.

My son has been attending this nursery for a few months now, and it's an excellent place. The staff are very professional, and the manager is so warm, friendly and very helpful. My wife and I highly recommend this nursery, such an excellent place. My son loves this place; thank you.

My son started at the nursery, and so far, we are very pleased with the nursery. The staff are very professional and have made it very comfortable for my son. He is extremely happy at the nursery. Will highly recommend the nursery.

My little boy has been going to Little Garden for 3m now (he's just over 1) I must say the staff are fantastic. We narrowed the choice of nursery down to 2-3 given location but opted for Little Garden because it felt more of a local nursery than one from a major company. He was a little apprehensive of leaving us at first but has settled down really well. The staff give great feedback, we get daily reports and photos and also he seems to love the food there! They have a great outdoor space and a lovely area inside he seems to be making great friends.

They use an app to provide regular updates and welcome updates from home-based activities too. They actively encourage children to learn and to reach milestones. Activities are always varied, stimulating and fun. We are so happy we found this nursery!

They have handled 2020 extremely well and all children seem happy! The staff are always smiling!!

The chef is also worthy of praise, for the varied and attractive menus which he rolls out each week – thank you, chef, for such interesting meals!

Thank you so much!

Great place. Extremely caring and attentive staff from the key workers to management. Both of our children love it! Lots for them to do, innovative in their thinking and help with development. They have also handled 2020 very professionally. Great hours as well.

Since my child started at the nursery in September 2020, we have seen him come on leaps and bounds in his personal development and his character blossom. The team are all so lovely, and he gets very excited when we arrive in the morning and push the buzzer to be let in. We have recommended the nursery to our neighbours who have since enrolled their daughter and are likewise experiencing the real positive effect that the nursery is having.

My daughter attended Little Garden from Feb 2018 - July 2020. I have always been very happy with the care and support my daughter received. The management and staff are all lovely and welcoming. Being a single parent with all of my family living overseas, Little Garden has been my only support network and I have to say I feel a bit lost now without Little Garden. Unfortunately, I had to move my daughter to a different nursery due to moving house. Compared to our now new nursery, Little Garden is an absolutely fantastic and outstanding childcare provider.

We have been very happy with Little Garden. The staff are very caring and supportive. They offer a wide variety of activities and encourage learning and independence. Our daughter loves to go to nursery, so therefore we are happy too.

Fantastic nursery with wonderful friendly and caring staff. Our child is very excited to go to nursery every day and we are happy to see him have fun, socialise and interact with the staff. He has formed strong bonds with the staff. The daily feedback from the nursery is very good and detailed. The facilities are excellent, a safe and spacious environment with lots of opportunities for learning.

It’s been about 6 months since the new management started and I am so happy with the changes. The rooms feel calm and organised and there has been a real focus on the children. The staff are amazing and kind and caring and this being my second child there we have formed strong bonds with those staff that have been there for both children. My eldest has settled into reception brilliantly and I have the great preparation from the preschool team to thank for that. We are very happy here.

My child has attended the nursery from Sep 2017 to Aug 2018. New in London, he naturally expressed shyness and lack of confidence at the beginning of the term. The team has supported him in an extremely gentle way, creating confidence and building the right environment for him to learn English, gain confidence and make new friendships. This was done by continuous dialogue with his needs and amendment of the curricula around the kids' interests, incl. letting the kids choose the weekly topic (monsters, space, etc), indoor activities, outdoor activities and more. A new manager joined around May and a couple of changes to the key workers have resulted in even better order and improvements to the daily routines.

He has grown in confidence with great social skills and an understanding of others. The staff are all very caring and respond well to all our son's needs.
