Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have two sons that attend this nursery. Let's just say it is the highlight of their week to be surrounded with so much love from their teachers and their friends. They both went from being fussy eaters to overeaters in a matter of weeks. They love all their learning activities and mini science projects.
They especially love their newly refurbished garden with a tree house and a slide. They really love the French lessons too. The most important thing for me is that they are safe, loved looked after and developing well academically.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 3.5-year-old started the nursery in September 2015. Since starting, she has absolutely flourished in her development. She is constantly coming home telling us about the fantastic new things she has learnt.
It is clear that she loves her nursery and the staff. In fact, she has asked to take her
teachers along with her when she starts reception in September!
The staff at Hammersmith are amazing and very supportive. The children attending always seem happy and this is thanks to the great learning environment the staff have created, approachable teachers and the fantastic management team. We will be sad to leave Hammersmith when our daughter starts school, but will definitely have the nursery on stand by for our second child.

Review from Claudine G (Mother of Child) published on 21 April 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The nursery is quite spacious, has a lot of natural light and a lovely outside area. All was renovated recently so it looks clean and bright, much more pleasant than when we visited in early 2016.
I introduced my child to nursery at 5.5 months and can attest to the care and professionalism from the
team. Although the induction week was tough, they made every effort to adapt and make my child comfortable. At the end of the week, my child was loving nursery and she is now looking forward to getting out of the house to nursery.
The food menu was adapted for our baby and the team helped with weaning. The on-site cook makes everything fresh so I felt at ease with the food.
Overall this is a great nursery, the staff is more than doing their fair share, they are kind and caring. I would recommend the place from baby stage.

Hammersmith Day Nursery & Pre-school staff has created such a nice environment for both of my boys to think and feel encouraged to learn, engage and build friendships. They really like the space indoors and also the beautiful garden. The nursery manager and teachers are extremely caring and very helpful
during tough times, especially appreciated when staff make a great extra effort when I was having severe back problems and my younger son wanted (and needed) to learn how to walk. I can highly recommend the nursery to others.

My son has been going to the nursery 2 days a week and has had an amazing time every time. The staff have been very welcoming and available to me whenever I needed. The manager has been very nice and welcoming. Thanks to her energy, the whole place runs smoothly and very efficiently. Plenty of activities
are available from the youngest age, my son can do activities that I would not be able to do at home so easily. He is learning something new every time. I recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have nothing but love for this truly exceptional nursery! My son joined in 2013 at 10 months old and it was such a wonderful, positive experience that now our daughter has started in the Little Buds baby room in 2017. I feel incredibly fortunate to have stumbled upon this little treasure when visiting
various nurseries in the Hammersmith area. What struck me most was the sheer dedication of the wonderful staff here. They adore these children. Their passion is clear and they take immense pride in what they do. The management team are incredible, always going above and beyond. A home from home - so warm and friendly, all the children are nurtured and doted on.
My children benefit from a loving, fun, creative and stimulating environment. The inspirational staff help children to develop educationally, emotionally and socially. The facilities are superb, with a lovely new garden area and fresh, healthy food prepared on site. This nursery is second to none and highly recommended!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been coming to the nursery for nearly four years, and if you measure standards of education by our boy's happiness and development, they are top of the class.


Since the redevelopment the nursery has leapt forward in all senses, the staff have been incredible and the whole atmosphere has lifted.


Testament to the hard work of the teachers is the way the children respond to them, enjoying their days and visibly improving and being proud of their own development.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I had a good feeling about this nursery when I visited it 2 years ago to find the right place for my first daughter. Today, both of my daughters are happily placed every day in this wonderful nursery. The quality of the people, the care and most importantly, the fun that the children have every day
is nothing short of extraordinary. The women that work here truly enjoy their jobs and are so loving with all of the children. They pay close attention to how my girls are developing and provide detailed feedback on a daily basis. Our children eat healthy food, play inside and outside every day and diverse activities for learning and fun are organised multiple times a day for education. This nursery has become a second home for our girls. We couldn't be happier to see what a wonderful, loving and inspirational environment they spend their day in. Thank you to all of the members of staff at the Hammersmith nursery. Each of you are absolutely exceptional at what you do!

The Hammersmith Day Nursery and Pre-School is an excellent place to bring up your children.


There is a fantastic team of warm welcoming, friendly and caring people who will make sure your little ones are well looked after.


The manager will go above and beyond her needs to ensure every child

and parent's needs are met. This is a very important factor of the nursery to me as a parent and makes it such a success.


The nursery prides itself in the wide range of activities it provides ensuring the children's education and social and emotional well-being is looked after.


I cannot emphasise what an amazing place the Hammersmith Day Nursery Pre-School is to leave your precious little ones.
I would gladly recommend it to anyone who is looking to have peace of mind and knowing their child will be well taken care of in every way.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
In general I am very satisfied with Hammersmith Day Nursery and grateful for the members of staff there for taking care of my boy so well. The period of settling-in was quickly arranged and went very smoothly. I was a little worried initially as my son had a bad experience with his previous nursery,
so I explained my situation to the manager and caring team. They were extremely considerate and flexible and the key person managed to develop a strong bond with my son within short time. Ever since then, my son has been thriving in the nursery, picking up new English words (English is not his first language), mastering new skills (flipping on his jacket, singing, dancing, doing some cleaning) and starting to make friends. One person that I cannot speak more highly of is the manager, she is the most passionate person I have ever met so far. There's so much energy in her that all children loved bounding up and down around her, singing and listening to stories. I surely recommend.

My baby is really happy there. He is 10 months old and started 2 months ago to go to nursery. They are doing loads of different activities. He is enjoying water play and dirty play as well. All the staff are lovely. The woman that is mainly looking after him is genuine and always in a good mood. I'm
really happy and mind free when I leave him there 2 days a week because I know that he will be well looked after! Also, the cook is making fresh food for them.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.354)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.354) out of 10 for Little Garden The Hammersmith Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 9 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 4.811 for Little Garden The Hammersmith Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (88 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 106 Ratings = 4.811
  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 4.543 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Garden The Hammersmith Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.643
  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.
