  • St Paul's Nursery, London
St Paul’s is situated in a beautifully converted church on Dock Street. The nursery is located within walking distance of Aldgate East and Tower Hill underground stations, Tower Gateway (DLR) and Liverpool and Fenchurch Street mainline stations, making the nursery an ideal location for commuters and local residents.

The building has recently undergone a significant refurbishment which has helped to create a vibrant and spacious environment for children to explore and engage in free flow activities. Children participate in daily walks and explore their local community, visiting Swedenborg Park, the Docks and a nearby playground.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are really delighted with our experience so far at St Paul's nursery. Our daughter seems really happy to go to nursery, and we love getting reports from staff about how she is doing. We are glad to have regular feedback. The staff are extremely friendly and seem to really enjoy their work. We felt
that the staff took seriously our daughter's needs while she took her time to get used to a new environment and people at the beginning. We are really glad to have found St Paul's.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have had an excellent experience with St Paul's Nursery. Our daughter has attended since she was 11 months old, and she is now two years old. She has built up excellent relationships with staff; they know her well, can confidently comment on her development and ensure that she is happy and settled
in the nursery. The staff are approachable and friendly. They show genuine care for the children. Our daughter mentions the names of her friends when she talks about her day but also mentions the names of staff members who have supported her and played with her. Our daughter has developed well since starting, and we receive regular feedback on her development. We also receive regular feedback on her day - eating and sleeping are important, as well as the child's development!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter attended St Paul's Nursery Wapping between the ages of 7 months and 1 year and 10 months. The staff were so wonderful with nervous new parents and responded to any query or phone call with warmth and open communication. She was so happy at the nursery, naming friends, eating well on a daily
basis, enjoying a range of varied activities and we only saw the nursery improve post the covid period. When an unusual evacuation was required in the local area the children were calm and nursery staff extremely composed as they dealt with it effectively. It really cemented our faith in the nursery. We only left due to buying a home out of Tower Hamlets and already miss the staff very much! I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone. I just wish they had an outside space, but make up for this with regular excursions.

My son has been attending since January 2022 and absolutely loves the nursery. He is always happy and eager to go and leaves the nursery with a big smile, always.
The staff are absolutely amazing.
Without failure, in-depth feedback is given.
The facility is great.
The manager is very responsive.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The team are excellent. Our son has been there for almost a year now. He is very active and loves going to the nursery. It is great for his social interaction and development. The manager is very responsive, and the team give us feedback on what our son has been doing at the end of each day. Our son
naps well at the nursery after lunch, and the nursery routine really works for him. He also seems to pick up new skills from the team or other toddlers there.

I can not recommend St Paul's Nursery enough. The manager and the team are friendly, happy and approachable with any enquiries you may have, and quick to answer them. The way they have handled Covid has been incredibly reassuring. My daughter comes away from the nursery happy, and exhausted from such
a fun day! Thank you for making the process easy and stress-free for me to return to work knowing my child is safe with you.

My son has not been with the nursery for long, but so far, our experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The support and flexibility offered in settling him in were excellent, and I feel fully supported by the nursery manager as a parent. My son comes happy, clean and well stimulated. So far, so
great!

This is the best nursery I've ever visited. My child settled in very well with the staff and the surroundings of the place. You can trust them with blind eyes for your child to be in the safest and enjoyable environment. Highly recommend it to the parents who are looking for a nursery for their children.

Absolutely amazing nursery. It’s like one big family. All the members of staff are very friendly and professional. My child is so happy here and really going to miss it when she moves to school in September. The duty of care my daughter receives is outstanding; they go above and beyond, and there’s
no other nursery I would trust my child to attend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are very happy with St Paul's Nursery. The management is excellent with great communication and accessibility. Our child is very happy there and well looked after by key worker and other staff. In particular, the handling of the coronavirus situation has been exemplary with clear communication and
sensitivity to the difficulties of the situation for parents, children and the nursery staff. Our only reservation is the lack of outside space, but that is not the nursery's fault and is compensated for by getting out and about each day as much as possible. There is a real sense of community for the children, and this has got much stronger under the current management.

Amazing nursery with friendly and professional staff. They really do a fantastic job during this pandemic. They create a lovely, fun and warm environment for the children. Our child has been there since she was a baby and throughout, she has been loved, cared for and also supported in learning. All
the children seem very happy. They provide excellent food, and the communication from the manager is brilliant. The nursery keeps you in the loop with everything. Thank you, St Paul's team.

All the staff at St Paul's have supported my daughter and me during the last few weeks, which have been very challenging due to potty training. They have offered advice and gone above and beyond to support the process- giving daily feedback. A personal phone call from the manager helped enormously.
They do so many creative learning activities too - lots of theme-based learning, which is fantastic. Thank you for all you do as staff and management!

We started recently at this nursery and we are very happy as we really felt welcome. It is important to us that meals are prepared on-site, there is no reliance on processed food. The staff are very caring, warm and professional. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.390)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.390) out of 10 for St Paul's Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 11 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 4.932 for St Paul's Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (124 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.932
  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 4.458 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Paul's Nursery is based on 11 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 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 120 number of registered child places is 24. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.458
  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.
