Marsham Street Community Nursery

My son has attended Marsham Street since the age of one and he is now two and a half. My husband and I have been delighted with the love, care and attention shown by the nursery staff from the very beginning and consistently throughout his time here. In the baby room, every effort was made to make him feel secure and settled, and also to reassure and support us as parents, clearly nervous to leave him for the first time. Now in the toddler room, the staff are equally as caring, supportive and enthusiastic - focused on his development and well-being. What is also worth mentioning here is how much effort the nursery puts into engaging with the parents through parties and events, and also the thought that is put into special visits and activities for the children. Before enrolling at the nursery, we had a couple of nannies and I can say without a doubt that I felt so much more comfortable leaving him at Marsham Street - it was the best decision we've made. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

Our 1.5-year-old loves running in to greet her friends and teachers every morning.

The teachers are kind, caring and attentive. Nurturing and sharing are key attributes and it’s evident that the children practice this on a daily basis.

Daily feedback and parent's evenings give us insightful updates on her interests and developments.

Parents are invited to tea parties on Mothers’ Day, Fathers’ Day and Christmas. The staff run workshops for parents to learn about Makaton and how children learn through play.

Daily activities vary and provide ample opportunities for children to explore and discover in groups and on their own. My child loves to sing and read with her friends at circle time. She enjoys exploring in the sensory room and running around in the two outdoor gardens situated on premise.

Balanced meals are prepared fresh on-site every day. The nursery manager is hands-on and addresses parents’ requests promptly and in a very satisfactory manner.

The only "challenge" I have with this nursery is that my boy loves it so much and doesn't want to go home in the evening.
The staff are extremely helpful and attentive. They put a lot of effort into teaching children and developing their skills. (just one example - by one year my boy was able to feed himself independently without any work done by myself at home). I get daily feedback from his key-person and more in-depth report at the parents' meetings. All my requests are taken seriously and satisfied promptly. I am very happy with this nursery (and especially with the staff in 3rd floor baby room!) and highly recommend it to everybody.

I visited five nurseries in the area. Very pleased that I have made the right decision to send my son to Marsham Street. He started at 6.5 months and absolutely loves it.
The staff are very caring and there are always enough staff in the room. There are two outdoor play areas which is a big plus in the area.
He also loves the sensory room there. He has made so much development progress at the nursery.
The food is well prepared on site. We are also very pleased with the overall security of the nursery. We have already registered for our second unborn baby at this nursery.

I am very pleased with the LEYF Marsham Street nursery. The staff is absolutely lovely and takes very good care of my seven month old. My son has been going for the last three months and I can tell that he really enjoys himself there, loves the staff and gets the right amount of stimulation.
The rooms are very clean and light. They have a lovely sensory room and great outside space. My baby also seems to enjoy the good food prepared by the chef which is great. Finally, the staff is also very good at helping new parents and reassuring them on any question they may have about young babies. It is very comforting.
They also offer workshops on play, sign language and regular meetings with parents.

I’m so pleased we chose Marsham St for our one year old. My eldest also went to a LEYF nursery so we already knew it’s a great organisation with motivated, committed staff.
Both baby rooms here are brilliant and the staff are a great mix of caring, professional and enthusiastic. My son has settled super quickly and smiles and claps when we reach the nursery door!
His key workers really understand what makes him happy, adapt activities to meet their interests and they work with you through the many developmental stages at this age. The food is also fab, which was really important to me. I would thoroughly recommend Marsham Street to anyone looking.

Our son has been at this nursery for over 3 years, and he loves it! We have had tears leaving nursery on more than one occasion as he doesn't want to leave, which I think says how much he enjoys it! The staff are brilliant, creating a range of interesting and fun activities. We have only had one minor issue on the food front when temporary staff were there. I have looked at other nurseries and none had such a warm, caring atmosphere.
