The Clapham Day Nursery & Preschool, rated Good by Ofsted (May 2022), is a warm, friendly, home from home setting where children are supported by a caring and professional team of childcare practitioners.

Located in a quiet cul-de-sac in Peardon Street, the 3-storey building provides plenty of space for children to enjoy learning through play, both indoors and out.

A child’s first step into nursery is also a first step to independence, and the nursery strive to provide the children in their care with the best resources, environments, and learning support to allow them to discover their individuality and achieve their full potential.

The nursery promotes parent partnerships and provides daily updates and photos about your child’s routine and activities.

Your child’s time at nursery is the start of an important journey, supporting them with the skills they need to develop and grow into content, confident, healthy, and curious people.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter is happy at the nursery. She is 14 months old and smiling as soon as we come in she loves playing with her carers like crazy and are enthusiastic or very tender. The variety of activities is impressive. They prepare edible soil or edible paints so children can play and taste at the same
time. They have a nice outside area with a variety of scooters/bikes/rockers. They have a very varied menu, with recipes available for parents, so my daughter has a very good appetite.

Review from David (Father of Child) published on 8 December 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our experience has been generally very positive. The nursery is very light and spacious. There is a lot of outdoor space which they made use of. The children have a lot of activities going on, including some exercises. The food is prepared on site and our child has shown enormous enthusiasm for it.
Above all our child is happy there and has formed good bonds with the staff. The management has recently changed and there have been a number of changes almost all for the better. Although there was some staff turn over at the time it seems to have settled again. Our only significant reservation is that the invoicing system is incomprehensible even to two highly numerate people like ourselves.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have had a very positive experience with Bringing Up Baby. The staff are professional and provide my daughter with a fun, varied and educational learning experience. It is a well run nursery with a professional, hard working team. My daughter doesn't want to leave at the end of the day, which is always
a positive sign!
I would highly recommend them!

Current Review Score: 7.0 (6.995)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.0 (6.995) out of 10 for Little Garden The Clapham Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 3.3 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 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 3.250 for Little Garden The Clapham Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (38 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (29 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 3.25
  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 3.745 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Garden The Clapham Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.8 = 0.37
  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.
