LEYF - Katharine Bruce Nursery & Pre-School

Really great nursery, the staff are so kind to my daughter and have also been really supportive to me. The nursery has an amazing outdoor space and do sweet events to involve the parents. We are really happy with our choice.

From the moment we arrive, the staff are always so warm, welcoming and friendly, which makes both me and my child feel comfortable and reassured. They also address all parents by their first name, which I havent experienced in other nurseries

I love the variety of activities they provide. It's clear that so much thought goes into making the activities fun, engaging and educational. The lunches are also fantastic, and I really appreciate the effort that goes into providing enjoyable and nutritious meals.

Most of all, the staff are amazing. They are caring, attentive and genuinely lovely, and I feel confident knowing my child is being looked after by people who truly care. We're very happy with the nursery and would definitely recommend it to other parent.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Katharine Bruce Nursery & Pre-School! After sending our daughter Manu here, we had absolute trust and no doubts about choosing it for Benício too. It is truly a space filled with warmth, care, and genuine affection. A very special thank you to the Director, Yvonne, whose leadership, dedication, and kindness make this nursery feel like a second home for our family. Knowing our children are safe, loved, and happy every single day means the world to us. Highly recommended.

This nursery has exceeded all my expectations. My son absolutely loves it here, the staff are truly incredible and have such a natural, deep bond with every child - it is remarkable. Yvonne, the nursery manager, has managed to enable such a warm environment where learning is fun for the children and all the staff work together as a team. It can be scary to send your child to nursery, but my child is in the best hands here at Katharine Bruce. They have just renovated their huge garden and it is amazing, I have to carry my son out of it when it's home time! There is such thought that goes into the menu they create, it's so healthy and varied, all the children sit down together at meal time. There are three separate rooms for children but the teachers know all of the children, not just their own. This nursery has such a family feel. It is fun but also a place which values learning, my son has learnt so many new things since joining so they clearly have a very effective way of teaching.

I can't recommend highly enough this amazing nursery filled with wonderful and caring staff! Our daughter joined in pre-school after two years with a childminder and we're so happy we did the change. She loved it, bonded immediately with the teachers (and the rest of the staff) and it prepared her perfectly for school. We were so satisfied with the experience that her little brother joined the nursery when he was just 9 months old and that was another great success: a year later, he has moved from baby to toddler room, with always a real excitement to come to nursery every morning. We are so grateful for all the affection, care and professionalism from every single member of the staff.

Communication with parents is brilliant, with regular updates and lovely observations that show how well they know each child. Most importantly, I know my daughter is safe, loved and encouraged to thrive every single day. We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a caring nursery.

My child has been going to Katharine Bruce nursery since they were a year old and we are so happy with his development. He's grown and developed so much in that time. The staff are so lovely and caring and really nurturing. The food is great and I love that it's freshly prepared on site by the wonderful chef. The fact that they have a huge garden for the children to play in is a bonus, especially in London. I can definitely recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking

We couldn't be happier with our decision to join this nursery and I wholeheartedly recommend it to all our friends.

My son has attended Katharine Bruce Nursery for the past two years, since he was six months old. He absolutely loves it, and is always excited to arrive and see his friends and teachers each day. The nursery staff are kind, nurturing, and safety conscious. There is low staff turnover, and many have been there for more that 10 years.

The food is prepared in-house and is nutritious and varied. There's a weekly menu rotation so the kids have something different each day.

I really like the LEYF approach of learning through play, and my son enjoys the constant choice of fun activities such as art, cooking, music, and circle time. There are three claasrooms, a sensory room, and each classroom has direct access to the big garden.

The nursery has helped my son become a talkative, super happy, and confident little boy.

I cannot recommend the nursery highly enough. Our son was there from the age of 8 months until starting school this September. My partner and I would often talk about how lucky we felt that he ended up in such a caring, nurturing and loving environment. It's the staff that really make it. Thank you so much for all the support you have given over the last three and a half years both to my son and to me. He could not have had a better start in life!

Outstanding nursery with an experienced, attentive and loving staff. Our daughter settled in just a few weeks and showed such enthusiasm going to the nursery every day that we knew she was very well taken care of. The manager runs a tight team, with longstanding members. Parents are constantly given detailed information about their child's growth and development. We cannot wait for our other daughter to also join the nursery.

This is my second experience with Katherine Bruce and I am super happy about the nurturing environment they create for the children and the learning experience they provide. Both my daughters improved their communication skills and their self-reliance skills so that they were able to generalise at home. They both loved the food, and they were able to eat a range of food categories that are really good for their health. The teachers and management are amazing and they accommodate the needs of my family in regards to nap times. Our overall experience is excellent and we would recommend the nursery to everyone.

Katharine Bruce is a wonderful nursery. Our son has attended since he was 6 months old and, thanks to the care of the amazing teachers and managers, has grown into a happy, confident little boy, fully ready to start reception this September. He has made strong friendships, engaged in lots of stimulating and fun activities and enjoyed freshly prepared, healthy meals every day. A few of the teachers have worked there for many years and are very experienced - so when we leave our son there we know we are leaving him in very safe hands. They also genuinely care about him and he is very attached to them which is everything we could have hoped for. The management is excellent and runs a very tight ship. Throughout these last three years, Katharine Bruce has felt like a second family to us, we are so grateful for everything they've done for our son. Though we'll be very sad to leave, we'll have so many good memories to cherish. Definitely recommend.

Amazing nursery filled with amazing staff - each and every one of them. Taking the best care of my two kids from babies right the way up to pre-school. They both love it there. The nursery manager runs a tight ship. I cannot recommend highly enough.

We are extremely happy at Katharine Bruce Nursery and Pre-School! Our child loves spending the day with his friends, the teachers are absolutely amazing and reliable and the facilities are also great! Our boy will be moving on to school in September and we will really miss his adventures at the nursery!

The nursery is of a good size, with good space in rooms and outdoor space. The carers and management are attentive and very caring. Children are cared for and stimulated to grow in a healthy and safe environment.

I feel very lucky we found Katherine Bruce Nursery and Pre-School and I feel privileged our daughter has been cared for and mentored by such wonderful people. The nursery staff are kind and thoughtful, the management are competent and rigorous. The nursery and pre-school fosters a culturally rich and intellectually engaging environment. The staff are hard-working and observant, and I always feel certain my daughter is in safe and caring hands. I couldn't imagine her growing up anywhere else, and I thank the staff for all they have done.

Our daughter is completing her final couple of months at Katharine Bruce Nursery & Pre-School before she heads off to reception. She started at the age of 1 during the early Covid days, with very little confidence and a huge amount of attachment to us. The team at Katharine Bruce have loved her, nurtured her and she has developed incredibly in her confidence and personality.

We couldn't recommend Katharine Bruce Nursery & Pre-School more and it's a testament to the great management team as well as a wealth of experience across all room leads, many of who have been with the nursery for many years.
