Review from S H (Mother of Child) published on 20 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son was at Pitta Patta from the age of 1 until we moved out of London when he was 2.5 and he had the most wonderful experience. The staff are warm, caring and endlessly patient and organise so many interesting activities, as well as allowing plenty of time for the children to explore their own interests and play freely in the garden with their friends. We really appreciated the friendly, calm environment and the emphasis on time spent outside. My son loved playing in the garden and stroking the rabbits. It has been amazing to see him learn and develop and form such close bonds with his key workers and the other staff and children. While communication could sometimes have been improved, we always felt that the nursery listened to parents' concerns and worked to make improvements. We would really recommend Pitta Patta!

Overall Experience

We've only had our daughter at the nursery for about a month now and she's settled so fast. The staff are amazing, very attentive and have already formed such good bonds with our daughter. The space is brilliant and the children get lots of outdoor time in the garden where the nursery has chickens and rabbits

Overall Experience

Pitta Patta has been a wonderful start to our daughter's nursery journey. From the first day, the staff have been kind, warm, and attentive, helping her settle in with confidence. The range of games and activities is brilliant, there's always something new and engaging, and you can really see the care behind each session.

A special mention to Fatima, Shelli-ann, and Lisa, who have all been wonderful with our daughter. They're warm and welcoming, and it's clear they genuinely care about each child's happiness and progress. Our daughter always lights up whenever she sees them.

What stands out most is the attention to detail and genuine focus on wellbeing, nothing feels rushed or generic, every child is treated as an individual. Communication from staff has also been excellent; we always feel informed about how her day has gone.

We couldn't be happier with our choice, and would highly recommend Pitta Patta to any parent looking for a nursery that truly puts children first.

Overall Experience
The staff are warm and welcoming and have been nothing but supportive of our child during their time at Pitta Patta.
The home from home feel and beautiful garden are real highlights for us. That and naps, how they have persuaded our kiddo to nap for two hours or more a day (independently) when they were a total contact napper pre nursery at home is a magical mystery we love them for it.

We have signed up with our youngest to attend next year.

Thank you for trusting us with your family and showing your support. We're so excited to welcome your youngest next year too!

We couldn't be happier with this nursery. The staff are absolutely fabulous - so caring, attentive and genuinely invested in the children's happiness and development. Our child is incredibly happy there and learns so much every day in such a warm and nurturing environment.
The standard of care is brilliant, and communication with parents is excellent. We always feel informed, supported and confident that our child is in the very best hands.

We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, loving and stimulating environment for their child.

Overall Experience
My daughter has attended Pitta Patta since August 2025, recently moving up to the Panda room in the bigger day nursery site.
The staff are fantastic, and my daughter is really excited to see them on nursery days.
We have daily handover chats in which nursery staff give a full debrief of the day and there are also regular parent evenings to discuss development and progress.

We couldn't be happier with the standard of care for our daughter who is thriving!

Review from Claire S (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child was seriously injured while playing in the large garden at the back of this nursery. A cable tie had been left lying around and was pulled around his neck. He wasn't being adequately supervised and they only just managed to cut it off in time (cutting his neck in the process - he still has a small scar). I received a call to say he had been found not breathing. We had to take him to hospital in an ambulance to check he had not severed arteries in his neck (lots of broken blood vessels and swelling), not to mention the psychological effect.

The owner never apologised to us. The police also investigated as they were considering a charge of criminal negligence. The police photographer took photos of our son with all the injuries to his face and neck.

Ofsted shut them down the next day with immediate effect as there was a serious risk of harm to children, lack of appropriate policies etc.. Ofsted have allowed them to reopen but I understand they will be monitoring them carefully.

Review from Gemma T (Mother of Child) published on 4 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

It has been a fantastic place for our daughter to grow and thrive. They say a child's first years are some of the most important for setting them up well in later life, and I couldn't ask for more than that from the team. She has flourished here and all staff have helped with this since she started at 12 months. She has been right through the nursery from the baby room to pre-school and each member staff, including her key workers, has taken the time to support her, and us, in her development with many face-to-face meetings, parents' evenings twice a year and ongoing daily updates on her progress. As a teacher myself, I expect staff to tailor their curriculum to the needs of those in their care and Pitta Patta does that by the bucket load. They are caring, and considerate and really put the children at the heart of what they do. I wish there was more room to write more but you'll just have to see for yourself.

Review from Amaia M (Mother of Child) published on 13 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter has been attending Pitta Patta full-time since November after having not such a good experience someplace else.

Pitta Patta is what I had in mind when I thought what a nursery would be like for our little one. The organisation and efficiency of the team, being on top of every email and message is incredible, with a deputy manager who is always there if you need her. We have felt heard, and our requests have always been taken into consideration. We know she is safe, cared for (her key person is the sweetest woman, and so are the rest of the team), and learning so many things in a beautiful space where she can just be her little self.

My child loves Pitta Patta. I have so much love for this nursery! The kind of care they give to my child is just outstanding. Each day she learns something new and her skill set and eating have improved so much by being here. My daughter has moved from Pandas up to Tigers, and all the staff know her name they are all so friendly. I feel at complete ease dropping her off. I would love to give 1 million stars for this nursery! The management are so lovely! The team who work there are just so kind to my daughter they even braid her hair!

My children have loved this nursery. Doing drop-off has given me peace of mind when seeing my children go running in in the morning.

They always bring pictures home and hang them up on the fridge. We have also received daily pictures on the app of our children getting involved in the activities, which I can say have always looked very creative. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking for one.

Review from M L (Mother of Child) published on 6 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter started at Pitta Patta when she was 11 months old. She has moved through three different rooms and has always been looked after with care and affection. The nursery feels like a family and our daughter has formed real bonds with several staff members which has been wonderful for us and for her. There has been staff turnover but also a constant core staff who work extremely hard and seem dedicated to the children. The outdoor space is great. We have also been impressed with the number of new initiatives implemented by the nursery, they seem keen to constantly improve and move forward. Overall we have been very happy with the nursery.
