Independent Place Nursery

Our son started in the baby room of Independent Place Nursery five months ago and we couldn't be happier. He absolutely loves going to nursery, the staff are extremely nice and always go the extra mile to come up with fun and educational activities for the babies. They also have external people coming in every week for certain activities including yoga, music etc.

We have had a brilliant experience with Independent Place Nursery so far. Our daughter has been attending since November and it has made returning to work so much easier for me knowing that she is getting the very best in care and attention. The nursery put a lot of thought and effort into providing amazing sensory and development activities for the kids every day and they also have external visitors working with the children on things like phonics, movement and singing. The facilities are top-notch, as is the menu which is healthy and diverse. We receive regular updates via an app throughout the day and are often invited in to parents' evenings. The staff are fantastic - warm, very professional and work with our daughter on developmental aspects such as crawling and self-feeding.

Lovely nursery - staff are super attentive and our little boy loves it. Great outside space and lots of activities. Started when our boy was 20 months old, we've been there four months so far. The app is great to know how our boy's day is going.

We heard about Independent Place Nursery through our neighbours and it was the first and only nursery we visited. We couldn't be happier with the team, who at this point feel like family. The amazing activities and attention they give to our child have directly enhanced her development. Highly recommend a visit!

My daughter attended Independent Place Nursery for a year, from ages 1-2. We absolutely loved it and are so sad she's had to leave due to us moving out of London. The staff are wonderful - knowledgeable, calm, friendly, warm, caring - everything you could possibly want. The nursery itself is brilliant, lovely big rooms with lots of light and easy access to outdoor space. As it's in a gated development it's away from the main road and feels very safe and secure. My daughter did so many activities I knew we wouldn't be able to do at home, she made great friends there and learnt so much. We would have happily sent her here until school. It's been difficult finding a new nursery that lives up to Independent Place, we were extremely lucky that it happened to be our closest one when we lived in London.

Our daughter attended Independent Place Nursery in Dalston from the age of 1 - 2, during which time she learned to walk and talk. She absolutely thrived there. She loved the adults who worked with her and had some great little friends her age. It was clear how much the adults cared about her as well.

This is a fantastic nursery where the staff and management go to every length to create a welcoming, inclusive and educational atmosphere for the children. My daughter has various learning difficulties, and the manager and her staff have gone out of their way to put a support plan in place for her and to ensure there are ample opportunities for her to develop and grow with her peers. I can not recommend Independent Place highly enough!

My daughter joined when she was 6 months old. The baby room teachers have been so sweet to her, especially as she is the littlest baby in the nursery. My baby is always happy to join the teachers at the start of the day, which is saying a lot since she can get fussy when I put her down. They always have sensory activities for the babies and great activities.

Could not recommend this nursery more, if it's within your budget.

The staff at independent place are so friendly and caring. They prepare all sorts of amazing activities, which our daughter really enjoys and food she happily eats. Our daughter has a great time there.

Very happy with the nursery. Great activities, friendly staff. Our child seems quite happy, she especially enjoys yoga and dancing. Other children also seem happy. Our daughter never complains about going to nursery in the morning.

Independent Place is a wonderful nursery and my daughter loves it here. Everyone who works there is extremely encouraging and friendly, and their outdoor space is great too. As well as a plethora of activities they have at the nursery, they also have outside professionals come in too, for things like phonics, yoga, French and music. Food is healthy and varied, and my daughter loves cooking with the Chef every week. Most importantly, I fully trust Independent Place to keep my daughter safe and entertained.

The management team is also great, have dealt with my queries promptly each and every time.

We have been with these guys for over nine months now and this nursery has smashed our expectations. The staff are really friendly and genuinely care about the kids. Our little one loves it there and the videos and pictures that get shared via the app show what is happening throughout the day. The structure of the days is good and we are really happy that activities to develop our daughter are taken into account as much as the fun stuff. Last bit to say is just how well run it is too - you get the impression from the whole team in the rooms to the management staff that common sense is applied along with good governance, which is a great combination for any organisation. Thanks guys.

My daughter has been at this nursery since she was 4 months old. She is now two and excelling in speech, she’s fully potty trained. She’s caring of others, interactive and glowing at the end of the day. My partner and I have been able to fulfil our full-time roles knowing our daughter is in safe hands.

I would highly recommend the nursery to any other parent.

The Independent Place Nursery has been brilliant for us parents and our two kids. They seem to have infinite activities set up that change daily, different weekly themes, a great outdoor space and a sensory room. The key workers are very attentive and the manager keeps everything working smoothly together. It's a bright open space with cosy corners and nooks set up for each kind of activity. They've got a cook in house making fresh, organic food based on a menu set up with the parents' consultation. The communication with the parents/carers is very open and we get videos and pictures on an app of some moments of our kids which is lovely. They are always updating the equipment, themes, areas, activities, never dropping the ball. Furthermore, they managed working in the coronavirus restrictions' period amazingly well and remained very well organised.

We can't thank the staff enough for how they are teaching our daughter, valuable.

My daughter started at Independent Place just 3 months ago. In this brief time, she has come to love the facilities, staff and activities. She puts on her jacket herself to get out of the house and go to the nursery in the morning. Also from my (parent's) perspective, Independent Place has given me the comfort to rely on them to take care, entertain and teach my daughter as she becomes a more confident toddler. The specialist teachers are also a highlight (ballet, yoga, storytime imaginations) and our daughter loves the cooking they do with the chef of the nursery each week. Overall, great experience!

A fantastic nursery with warm and caring staff, who have been such a very positive influence in my daughter’s life. Everyone worked very hard to stay safe and open during the second lockdown. The outdoor facilities are excellent for an inner London nursery.
