Review from G C (Mother of Child) published on 1 August 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My child has had the best possible start at Looking Glass Day Nursery. The new garden looks amazing and it's great to see the nursery develop. My child is very happy there. She runs in every day with a big smile on her face and I know she is loved and well looked after. I couldn't recommend this nursery more. Best nursery so far.

Review from Sarah S (Mother of Child) published on 17 September 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Looking Glass has been fantastic for my daughter who joined at 6 months and is now 15 months old.

We intend to keep her at Looking Glass for as long as they'll have her!

The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and importantly, caring when it comes to the children they look after.
Everyone I've met has been so welcoming, always asking questions and listening to what's going on in her life.
Yes, sometimes the administrative side of things is a little chaotic but I feel this is more a company issue (not staff).
The opening hours are brilliant and the garden is massive - a huge plus.
My daughter has learnt so many new skills, made lots of friends and is always engaged in some activity from painting to Yogabugs.

Some staff also offer babysitting (through personal arrangement) and I think this demonstrates just how much they love the children in their care.

Thank you Looking Glass for making her so happy and making my life so much easier.

Overall Experience

We are so pleased with Looking Glass! Management were extremely helpful from the onset and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Our son's teachers are loving and caring and extremely professional. I love how everytime I walk into the room they are engaging the children. My son has only been at the nursery for one month and yet he has learned so much. We highly recommend this nursery!

Overall Experience
Looking Glass staff have been great with my son. Patient and caring.
He is developing a great independence thanks to their support. A great team.

Communication from office staff could be better. We were unaware parents were invited to Xmas party for example.

Overall Experience

I feel like nursery is a lovely environment and that my child has flourished here. He comes home having learned new skills (he now does actions to twinkle star!) eats independently and is happy to be left. I feel very confident leaving him and really enjoy collecting him and seeing his happy friends every day. The children seem happy and the staff ar very caring - all in all, very happy.

As a first time mum, the process of finding nurseries that suit my child's needs was difficult. My child settled very quickly and I've never looked back. Very helpful and very accommodating. I am always at ease. Happy child = happy mum!

Review from R O (Mother of Child) published on 1 February 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughter started Bright Horizons Nursery in August 2017 and we have noticed a big difference in her development, socially and cognitively. She now enjoys being here and appears to have settled in well. The staff are very caring and interested in my daughter's learning. This gives me peace of mind so I can go to work without any concern about her welfare.

Review from S C (Mother of Child) published on 1 February 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

So initially, I had a few minor things that I wasn't 100% happy with. I spoke with staff members regarding this, and was made to feel secure and assured things would be in place in order to make changes. Within a couple of weeks, I saw many positive changes that made me feel so happy and comfortable with the choice of leaving my son here. This enabled us to build an even better rapport with staff members. Now 100% happy.

Review from Sally M (Mother of Child) published on 12 December 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Over the last two years, our son has immensely enjoyed attending Looking Glass Nursery. From 6 months old, he had a varied diet of activities, a learning journey and caring staff throughout the team. He especially enjoyed the 2-year-old room, as there were many outsourced specialist activities from the sports coach, to theatre and yoga bugs.

The staff are very enthusiastic about everything they do and I have been very happy with their levels of care and duty towards our son.

If we weren't moving he would be there until school age, the hours also provide flexibility for early starts. He has developed a lot, the last week his health visitor said he was advanced in all areas from gross to fine motor, vocab and soc/EMT. He certainly became a much less fussy eater and I think he gets a better diet there than at home! He is a confident and thriving boy and I believe this is due to the confidence every member of staff instils through appropriate use of praise, encouragement and challenge.

Review from Lauren G (Mother of Child) published on 30 October 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Since my son has moved into the older rooms, I am amazed by how much he is learning. I am always kept up to date with the topics they are doing as a group but also what his key worker is doing to support him individually with his learning and needs.
My son has been at Looking Glass for one and a half years and have had nothing but good experiences.

The management team are very helpful and easy to approach.

Overall Experience

My son has been in Bright Horizons, Tooting since he was thirteen months. From the first day, he was loved and cared for by all the staff. The main selling point for the nursery (along with lovely staff) is the big garden. The children get a good mixture of structured play and free play. I am sorry to be leaving.

Overall Experience

I am very happy with the Looking Glass and will be sending both children there. I'm always impressed with all the staff especially how they know everyone and all the children's names for such a big building. Everyone is friendly and seem to really care about the children. My friends cannot believe that my son is only 2 and has already had yoga and IT lessons. I'm so glad we picked Looking Glass.

Review from Emily (Mother of Child) published on 20 July 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

For a large nursery Looking Glass manages to provide a very personal and individual level of care for the children. Our son has been going since he was 8 months old and been loved, nurtured and cared for throughout his time at Looking Glass. The outside facilities are brilliant and very unusual for a nursery in this built up area of London. It is very special to see the bonds that develop between staff and children and amongst the children themselves.

Laura
Laura Job Title:Deputy Manager and the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO)Joined: 2021

I am the Deputy Manager and the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) at Tooting Looking Glass Day Nursery.

I have over 10 years of experience working with children and I hold a level 3 in Child Care and Education.

Before I joined Bright Horizons I was a manager of a smaller nursery, I have experience as a learning support assistant and senior nursery nurse in the primary education sector supporting classroom teachers and children of different ages. My role as a SENCO can be varied - I am responsible for assessing, planning and monitoring the progress of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). I support the identification of children with special educational needs and coordinate provision for them too. I also liaise with parents and with other providers such as outside agencies, educational psychologists, health visitors and speech therapists to ensure we are supporting the children in the best way possible. I create support plans for children and organise tailored activities/interventions to support their development.

My role as Deputy is to assist Terry in providing professional leadership and management of the nursery. I promote the health, safeguarding and well-being of children as well as being a role model to other staff to deliver high-quality experiences and care for the children.
