Brixton Garden Nursery & Pre-school (formerly Little Angel Nursery School)

My child has been attending for just over a year and is extremely happy. He has made wonderful progress and adores his teachers and friends. The staff are warm and supportive and I feel that we are in partnership with them in providing the best for my child. We are all so happy to be part of the Brixton Nursery family.

My son has attended Brixton Leyf Nursery since he was one and now, two years later, he still runs into nursery with glee every day without fail. The Brixton team are incredibly warm, careful, sensitive and thoughtful and I know that he feels safe and secure. Everyone has taken the time to get to know him as an individual and it is clear that they understand what makes him tick, how to encourage him to learn and participate in all their imaginative activities and also when he just needs a cuddle. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.

My daughter has attended this nursery for the last 2 and a half years, and my son for almost 2 years. Both of them absolutely adore the staff, and as parents, we cannot fault the childcare provision! I would absolutely recommend this nursery to anyone considering it.

As a first time mum, I was sad to go back to work, but it has been amazing knowing that our daughter is so happy and so well cared for. She has learned so much in such a short space of time, and we are so grateful to all the teachers for being so wonderful with her.

The core staff members are really dedicated and haven't changed over the years. I feel that they have (and are still) providing a nurturing environment where kids like to go and where they establish strong friendship bonds between themselves. Two years on, and some of our daughter's closest friends are the ones that she met in the nursery.

The staff are great, they all really care about the children. I love the fact that the children get to use the facilities of the leisure centre too, it's a real bonus of the nursery being located there.

Eternally grateful to Brixton team and so many happy memories, cultivated (good!) behaviours, traditions, high fives, Italian-Spanish fish names (“Pirrania!”) and muscle demonstrations… I know that our son (+mum & dad) will treasure always.

Thanks a lot (again)!

Brixton Nubrsey is a really warm and friendly nursery. The staff are brilliant and put so much effort into providing interesting, fun and challenging activities for the children. They have their own chef to prepare meals, and they can use the facilities in the leisure centre, like soft play, which is great!

Brixton LEYF is the most wonderful nursery. Our children have been there since 2015, and we have been extremely happy. The most recent management team, in particular, have been especially effective, running the place smoothly, communicating brilliantly with parents, constantly focussing on development for the little ones. Although there is limited outdoor space, the nursery can use the facilities in the leisure centre - the huge soft play, the fitness studio and (for the oldest children) the swimming pool. So when you add that in it means that the lack of outdoor space is less of a problem! There seems to be low staff turnover - or at least the good ones stick around! The long-serving members of staff are just brilliant. Such a loving environment, we trust them completely.

This nursery is amazing. I knew it was the right place for my daughter when I went to look around it as everyone was so open and friendly. She had to settle in pre-lockdown and then recently again, post-lockdown and both times the staff have helped the transition with warmth, love and good humour. I believe this nursery is a very nurturing place and the staff in the baby room are so lovely and teach her so much. Her physical development and language are coming on very nicely and it's amazing to me every time she does something at home that we haven't taught her. The outside space might be small but they get to use the leisure centre facilities and also take them out a lot to parks and the market. I love this place and I cannot recommend it more highly.

Our daughter, who is now 14 months old, started at Brixton Nursery at the beginning of this year. We visited a lot of nurseries in the local Brixton/Stockwell/Oval/Clapham area and this one was easily our favourite. Even though it doesn't have as much outdoor space as many of the others, this didn't matter to us because the nursery itself had such a welcoming and professional atmosphere (plus we know that the children are regularly taken out and visit the recreational facilities). The staff are incredible, so friendly and really communicative about everything, from our daughter's activities that day to any issues that have arisen. Our daughter has developed a great deal since starting at the nursery and the staff put a lot of effort into things like sensory development and language skills, and it's clear from feedback and all the photos that are shared that the kids have a lot of fun too. We are really happy with the nursery and so glad we found somewhere we like so much.

My child started this nursery aged 9 months old in October 2018. Thanks to the caring and friendly staff, he settled in immediately. He was reluctant to be weaned, but within weeks the key worker had him on chunky, solid food - I was so impressed. Now he is aged 16 months and loves books, eating using a fork and recognises many words, thanks to the key worker. He plays outside most days, and he has made many new friends. A lovely nursery to send your baby to.

My granddaughter for more than 1 year participates in this nursery and she is always happy to meet her friends. She enjoys (a lot!) the meals offered and learned countless songs that she always repeats at home. Her development is stimulated by the proposed activities and the staff are very attentive when I go there.

We are very happy that our Grandchild goes to Brixton Community Nursery. We have seen so much development in him over the years and he is always happy every time we attend family events. As extended family members we are always felt welcomed and involved. All the staff are wonderful and we are just pleased he is in a happy environment.

Our 6-month-old daughter has only been at Brixton Community Nursery for over a week, but so far I have been impressed by how quickly she has settled in. She always looks happy when I see her and the staff are very caring and friendly. She is eating a good portion of (mashed) solid food at nursery, as I'm sure it tastes delicious (the daily menu always looks great). I feel absolutely reassured in leaving my daughter at this nursery five days a week.

This nursery may be small but it is perfectly formed! My son loves going there and is very happy to be dropped off every morning (which saves us both from the heartache we have experienced at other nurseries!). The small size of the nursery makes it possible to get to know all of the staff, who are excellent and work hard to create a fun and happy atmosphere for the children, and it really feels more like an extended family than just a childcare provider. The food prepared by the Chef is of a high standard and welcome variety and certainly seems popular with my son. Access to the great facilities in the Rec is a real bonus for the children, with them frequently being taken to the soft play and the studio for a change of scene, which more than makes up for the admittedly limited outdoor facilities. My son is thriving there, and the credit for that is due to all the staff there who make that possible.

I was so pleased to find my little grand-daughter (who has Down's Syndrome) happy at her nursery and engaged with the people around her. I had been upset at the thought of her having to attend nursery at such a tender age, especially as I live so far north in Scotland and could not help. However, I stayed with her for over a week at the end of March and could see that her time at nursery had become part of her routine, and something that she looked forward to attending and clearly enjoyed. As I see her only every few months, each visit I make enables me to see what progress she has made developmentally, and I feel sure that much of this is due to the care and attention of the nursery who are working closely with her parents to help her achieve her goals.

My son's been there for almost a year. He loves his nursery and his friends there. He's happy to go in every morning and would run around to give everyone a cuddle before going home. This makes me a very happy mum at work.

We have been very fortunate to leave our child at the Brixton Nursery, always a wonderful welcome from the calm, kind and caring staff. Very professional, warm and helpful, our child loves his time at nursery and has blossomed in the care of the wonderful staff.
