Gumboots Nursery & Pre-School

Gumboots Nursery & Pre-School has been a wonderful environment where my two kids have thrived. Both are in full-time. My daughter has moved from the baby room now to the preschool room and it's been great to see how in each stage they have supported and nurtured her. She loves going to nursery! Also, my son has recently joined the baby room and has quickly adapted and is enjoying the nursery experience as much as my eldest. Staff are welcoming and nurturing and kids are always doing great activities throughout the day. Definitely made joining the workforce full-time less challenging as I know they are in great hands.

Such an amazing nursery! The manager and her team are so caring and thorough. There is no other nursery we feel compares! We even moved house and continue to travel 20 minutes by car to Gumboots because we love it so much! Thank you, to the manager and your team for everything!

Our daughter has been at Gumboots Community Nursery for 16 months now and loves it. I was apprehensive about her settling in a nursery environment given her sensitive side but she was assured and involved from day one. The staff are friendly and the environment fun and inspiring. We will be sending our second daughter there too.

Gumboots is a wonderful environment. My son has been very happy there and is developing incredibly well. They are adapting their approach to suit him and have been very supportive and helpful with his dietary requirements.

Our daughter and son have both attended Gumboots for a number of years and received exemplary care. The staff are always kind, patient and enthusiastic. The preparation for the next steps of attending school is also very well planned.

The nursery is excellent. My daughter loves the staff and they do great activities, both fun and educational, with the children. The staff care greatly about the children and clearly love their jobs.

The nursery has a warmth and energy to it which I didn't find elsewhere when looking for my daughter. The garden is very big for this area of London and I really like knowing that the children are outside regularly. The food that is prepared daily is wide-ranging and doesn't shy away from dishes that introduce new tastes.

We feel so very lucky that our little girl is at Gumboots - she’s absolutely thrived there and is a confident, kind and happy child which is no doubt in part because of the care and development she receives at nursery. The staff are second to none and form close bonds with the children based on an ethos of kindness and respect. We would highly recommend Gumboots.

My son has been at the nursery since he was 16 months old and has always enjoyed going to the nursery and the staff have always been incredibly kind and caring towards him and his development.

The staff make a huge effort to organise social gatherings for the children and parents to enjoy. The recent Valentine’s Day breakfast was a wonderful way for the children across the nursery to interact - fabulous.

Gumboots is a real joy to be part of - the manager and staff are all so lovely, welcoming and caring! My son practically runs in in the morning and gives everyone a big cuddle when he leaves. I leave happy in the knowledge that not only is he well looked after and cared for but loved also. The staff in his room give off such a part of the family vibe.

Great nursery. Family atmosphere with everyone being so nice. Real, community feel. My son loves it there and has a great time. Would highly recommend to lots of people.

When you tell your daughter she’s going to nursery and she does a little dance to celebrate - you know that they are doing something right!

Really happy with the care our daughter gets at Gumboots and the education she is recieving.

Our daughters have all attended Gumboots over the years. Our youngest daughter who still attends Gumboots has developed in so many ways and is a more confident child and looks forward to going into nursery every day. The nursery itself is a fun and lively environment and I think it provides the backdrop for more effective learning.

Our experience of Gumboots has been fantastic and we would definitely recommend it to others.

Wonderful/safe/loving/learning environment for my 3 year old and I could not ask for more.

The manager and her team are the reason for why this is the best nursery in East Dulwich!

We are so happy with Gumboots - our daughter is happy, loved and developing there. The effort the team put into new activities is so sweet.

Our daughter has adored the staff in every room she’s been in as she’s grown. We love how all of the kids seem to know all of the staff, and the staff know them too. It’s a wonderful community.

I was so worried about my daughter starting nursery as she didn’t like being with anyone other than my husband and me but I absolutely needn’t have worried. The staff at Gumboots are amazing - caring, friendly, creative and inclusive, and have helped my daughter to be a confident and outgoing toddler. She started in the baby room and has progressed through the rising 2s to the 2-3 year room where she is now. The staff and facilities in all rooms have been brilliant and I would not want my daughter to attend anywhere else. She really loves it there and adores all the staff members. And as a fussy eater at home, I’m hugely grateful for the varied and delicious looking food that is provided which she gobbles up no problem! Thank you Gumboots - we love you!

Our daughter loves attending Gumboots Nursery. She has made wonderful friendships and connections with both children and staff alike. My wife and I are really pleased with her development and feel like she is being guided with great care and affection.

A really well-run nursery with amazing staff who really care about the kids. The facilities are amazing and the food is of a high quality.

My child’s developmental progress is carefully monitored and reported back well at parent’s evening.

I have only ever had a positive experience of the staff who are all well trained.

Fantastic nursery/pre-school! My son has learnt so much doing one on one activities with them, preparing him for big school :)
