Review from Lucy Q (Mother of Child) published on 5 July 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I am happy that my son enjoys nursery and is settled with the carers in his room.
I like the fact there are lots of messy play activities but it is disappointing that there will no longer be music sessions on Wednesdays.
I hope that 'yoga bugs' will continue.

Overall I am happy with the facilities are Looking Glass.

Review from Elizabeth T (Mother of Child) published on 27 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
We are delighted with the care from the lovely ladies in the sunflower room. They are dedicated to my daughter's development health and wellbeing and we couldn't ask for better key persons.

In general, the nursery is great. I would encourage more vegetables in the daily menu and we are looking forward to hearing about more replacements to the external music/teachers/learning aids. We are disappointed at the level of increase in fees of which we have voiced to the office.

Review from S M (Mother of Child) published on 26 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

There is definitely improvement required at this nursery, during the last couple of months there has been numerous silly errors from the management side - one being no keys available to open the door to the nursery in the morning, which resulted in ALL the children being dropped off and kept in the garden in the freezing cold, until the key holder turned up. I was not happy about this at all, especially having to leave my kids in the cold. I have 2 at the nursery. I am also not happy with the amount of staff leavers recently.

Overall Experience

My son has just started at the nursery and we have a 3-year-old here already. We are very happy with the staff and their communication. Obviously, the cost is an issue - across the board - but that is government thing - more than any individual nursery.

Review from James K (Father of Child) published on 16 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Fantastic staff, facilities, especially in summer time now it is sunny.

Would like a mix of healthier food - not just breadstick snacks - but healthy options too.

Management emails are too many with poor grammar and spelling.

But very well run, friendly and convenient.

Review from A K (Mother of Child) published on 16 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Overall very pleased with how my daughter has settled.
I think there should be a greater variety of food offered, some days the food eaten all day has been very starch and carbohydrate heavy. (toast and cereal, breadsticks, pasta, pudding, apple slices for example)
Not enough green vegetables! I've never seen broccoli on the menu, only peas and sweetcorn. What about berries in the summers?

I don't think cornflakes are a substantial/nutritious enough breakfast.

Overall Experience

I have all the good things to share and want to use every possible adjective available. The nursery staff (manager, rooms staff, key workers, chef) everyone is very professional, caring, have the patience to listen to parents and take due care of each and every child based on their requirements. Very good job done by the team. Big thank you.

Review from Kat S (Mother of Child) published on 1 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My husband and I first joined Looking Glass in April 2012 with our first daughter who was 11 months at the time. It is now April 2017 and we still use Looking Glass as our 2nd and 3rd daughters attend. By the time they leave, Looking Glass will have been looking after our children for 7 years. We could not ask for a better standard of care. Our children have been loved and cared for, from the moment they arrived, not to mention all the wonderful learning through play activities.

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.
