Our son has been at city child for just over a year and we have been incredibly impressed by the genuine level of care and support staff have shown him (and us!). The nursery has a fantastic large out door garden which is unusual for central London nurseries. There are also a huge number of activities on offer for the children from trips to the library to song and move to water/sand/ paint play etc- our son is well entertained.
The only thing I can say is how much all of us love this nursery.
Location: conveniently located with multiple tube stations nearby, has lovely outdoor garden where they go out regularly,
Secluded place away from busy city and near to Barbican library where children are taken over there frequently.
Teachers: very helpful and extremely friendly.
Teachers from other rooms all know my son by name! They arranged gradual settling in period at the beginning and transitioning to toddler room.
Handover: daily detailed communication sheet so that parents can have a good snapshot of the child's daily life.
Parents' concerns and opinions are well listened to and quickly acted upon.
Events and activities: lots of fun events song and move, potteries, hatching chicks, summertime bbq
Overall, I think my son is in the best place he can be and would like to use this opportunity to thank all the staff at the nursery.
We have always been very happy with level of care and nurturing environment created by the friendly staff at the nursery.
Both our children are happy and content and have formed great relationships with their allocated key people, which makes it easier leaving them each day.
My son enjoys going to nursery knowing that his days will be fun filled packed with activities. The staff have been extremely brilliant and most importantly I know he is always in good hands. They are extremely flexible with his schedule as well which is a major plus and constantly giving us advice onhis wellbeing. Location and facility wise is top notch.
The staff are super friendly and really attentive to his needs. They have worked with us to put a development programme in place and they monitor his progress, which is reported on in his personal development book. At the end of each day we get a written report on what activities our child has participated in and what he has eaten, which really puts our mind at ease that they are really looking after him.
One of the reasons that we chose this nursery is the convenience for both my husband and I in relation to getting to work, and it's also open from 7:30 until 18:30.
Outdoor space was also important to us and they have the most fantastic play area. You wouldn't expect it being tucked away in the city.
We are really happy with our choice of nursery and seeing our son so confident and happy means the world to us.
Our son has been attending City Child Nursery for almost one year, starting when he two years old. He has suffered developmental delays, had severe glue ear (which has delayed his speech) and is hyper mobile, all of which made us very anxious about sending him to nursery in the first place. However, since day one, the staff at City Child have helped him more than we could have hoped for. His development has accelerated to the point that he has almost caught up to the other children and he is content and happy in the bright, safe and clean environment of the nursery. Despite it's central location, the nursery has a larger outside space than others we visited and he loves it. The staff have only ever been helpful, courteous and accommodating when we have asked for help making changes to his schedule and so forth. We couldn't ask for more from the nursery and fully recommend them.
There are a lot of positive things I could say about City Child Nursery, but in the end it comes down to the fact that my daughter is (and has always been) extremely happy to be there - that's enough for me!

Meet the Team (1)
Hi, My name is Abby and I am a level 3 Nursery Practitioner I have achieved a level 2 and Level 3 Diploma in Child Care and Education I have been with Bright Horizons since 2017. I was based at Heron Quays Bright Horizons as a Room Leader where I took the opportunity to progress in the role of a Third in charge in 2019.
I've supported Heron Quays on its journey to achieve a good Ofsted rating after many years of hard work. I have worked with children of ages 0-5 years but have had the opportunity to learn and develop my skills within the nurseries I have worked in by spending time in each of the rooms supporting my staff team.
I was asked to come over to Tabard Square to support them and this was also a part of my professional development. During my time at the nursery, I grew fond of the team and children and was able to help implement new changes and support the quality of teaching and learning with the team. The opportunity arises for a Deputy Manager over in Tabard Square. I took the opportunity to apply for this position. This has been something that I was working towards and knew it was the right time for me.
I now have had the opportunity to further my career with bright horizons by progressing to the Nursery Manager at City Child, I look forward to my new journey, being able to share my knowledge and role model practices with a new team. I also look forward to creating a new partnership with the families and children at city child.
