Our daughter loves attending LEYF Brixton. She runs in every morning, excited to see friends (and have breakfast).
Staff are great, they clearly care about the children and have a great learning curriculum.
The facilities are also a big plus. Lots of outdoor space. Meals are very high quality with
a lot of variety.

False alletion were made by so called managers. We had too take our child to the GO to prove them wrong, they had the audacity to send a form to lambeth early learning straight away within 30 minutes of informing us of there false allegations even though we told them we gonna go to the GP to prove
them wrong, then they started writing notes when we confronted about the lies they were acting like they work for social services, don't trust your child with that kind of organization if they can hire that kind of people you be very worry about your child.

My son started when he was 11 months and he settled in very quickly. The staff were very happy and enthusiastic, he has always been happy to go off with the staff in the morning. He is now in the toddler and preschool room and he gets excited when told he is going to nursery. He always comes home with
evidence that he has had a fun day and he loves going on the outings that they do daily. I am truly grateful for the care and love they show my son on a day-to-day basis, it makes it easier to go to work and have a good day knowing he is comfortable and loved within the nursery. From the management to the staff, it is a very lovely environment, I would truly recommend to all!

We absolutely love Brixton Nursery. Our son has been attending from 13 months, and he loves it! The staff are brilliant, and they do so many fun activities, including trips to the park, indoor play areas and the local market! The nursery has such a lovely feel to it, which is down to the staff’s genuine
enthusiasm, and they clearly truly care about all the children - we couldn’t be happier.

Review from Sarah P (Mother of Child) published on 7 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This was our top choice of nursery, and we were very pleased to secure a place for our 1-year-old. The staff are very friendly and helpful and work hard to make it a warm environment for the children under their care.
While there is a relative lack of outdoor space given the location (hugely convenient,
next to the tube station), the staff ensures the children take trips out to playgrounds, the library, the indoor play centre, and other facilities, which is more stimulating and enjoyable for the children anyway.
We are delighted our now nearly two-year-old will continue at this nursery.

My son has been attending the nursery for 7 months now and he is progressing well for his age. His communication is coming along nicely and he uses signs at home when he communicates with me to.


My son is allowed to go into the toddler room which is great as this will allow his settling-in period

to be smooth rubbing.

Fantastic nursery. It's a shame that the rec centre no longer allows proper access to the balcony for outdoor time, but I don't think the nursery is to blame. Apart from that, everything is great. The staff are all particularly wonderful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our two children attended Brixton LEYF Nursery at the early ages of 1 year old and right up to graduation day, before they headed off to primary school. Our son now 8 years old has great fond memories of nursery and the great bonds he made with his teachers and friends, which he's still in contact with.
Likewise, our daughter, now 4 years old and has recently graduated this summer 2022 and is in primary school reception. She's had a fantastic happy, learning and playing experience at Brixton LEYF nursery and made great friends along the way. They both have been thriving ever since and that's thanks to all the nurture, dedication, interest in their wellbeing and warmth they received from all their teachers, including managers and chefs, over the years. As new parents, we took the chance and gut feeling with Brixton LEYF nursery and we are ever so grateful and satisfied with our children's well-being and enthusiasm for learning - especially in a happy environment. Brixton LEYF is just fantastic!

I have had 3 children at nursery. Ages now 14, 5 and 3. Staff are still present who looked after my 14 yr old. I love this nursery. It is very warm, cosy and welcoming. My children have entered reception being quite advanced. The children have always been happy to go to nursery and never want to leave.
My 3 yr old is now on holiday and he can't wait to go back.

My son has grown up at Little Angels Nursery School, starting off in the baby room, all the way to the pre-school. The staff are very loving, kind and considerate and have taught my son very well. I have been most impressed with the fact that at age 3, he is counting up to 50, knows all of his colours,
shapes, can spell his name and is able to identify letters and numerals.
I (and my son) will be very, very sad the day he has to leave later this year.
Keep up the good work.

Current Review Score: 7.8 (7.778)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.8 (7.778) out of 10 for Brixton Garden Nursery & Pre-school (formerly Little Angel Nursery School) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.1 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.117 for Brixton Garden Nursery & Pre-school (formerly Little Angel Nursery School) is calculated as follows: ( (43 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.117
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.661 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brixton Garden Nursery & Pre-school (formerly Little Angel Nursery School) is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.375
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 70 number of registered child places is 14. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.286
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
