Our 3-year-old daughter is always happy to go to the nursery. The deputy manager is amazing with the children. The children play and learn a lot! Our daughter is ready to start the school in September.
We can recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children attend this fantastic nursery. It is well organised and perfectly managed with a special award for the deputy manager (currently covering for the manager on maternity leave) who is engaging, super committed and available for parents.


The nursery facilities are perfect with bright

indoor rooms, an outdoor playground, lots of various toys, books etc...


The staff are loving, nurturing and committed to the children learning and their development and I really appreciate getting feedback at the end of each day. My shy 3-year-old has blossomed into a happy and energetic little girl with the help of her key workers. My little boy had quite a complicated routine and the staff did everything they could to accommodate him so he would be comfortable and he is now enjoying his days at the nursery.


I cannot recommend highly enough this wonderful place where the kids are receiving all the affection and stimulation they need.

My baby girl has joined this nursery 5 months ago when she was 4 months old. She loves it, always smiling and happy when I drop her in the morning. Everything is gathered here: a wide variety of fun activities, an outdoor area with games, lovely staff who encourage children in their development and
always available for parents. Food is prepared on site with fresh products and the cook can adapt the menu as per parent's recommendations for their child.

We have been extremely happy with the staff for years. In the last couple of months, I have been impressed by how well our son has started learning phonics by taking part in the pre-school class in the nursery (he has just turned 3).
I also love when he plays 121 guitar with one of the staff.
A fantastic
environment for him where they take any opportunity to develop him!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started at the Hammersmith Day School at the age of 2 last September. Having been let down by a previous nursery's closure, as a parent I was quite nervous about her starting somewhere new. However, thanks to the fantastic managers and caring nursery nurses, my little girl settled quickly.
She absolutely loves attending the nursery and even asks to go at weekends! The nursery environment is so welcoming and the refurbishment it has undergone has only made it even more wonderful. The garden alone is highly attractive. I would love to play there myself!! Thank you to all of the staff for not only teaching my child valuable life skills but also for keeping her so happy. You are all doing an amazing job!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have my little boy who is an active curious 3-year-old as well as my 9-month baby girl in the nursery. Across both age groups, the nursery is excellent. The place is lovely, staff caring and engaged, and involved management team which means the kids love to go and come home happy.


My little girl

is happy to be left and has a wonderful bond with her key worker. The staff in the baby room are excellent, love the kids and provide a stimulating and safe environment. My little one dives for hugs when we arrive. My little boy is a busy soul and the nursery sufficiently keeps him engaged with many activities as well as the structure around learning. He has a good rapport with the carers in the room and there is a lovely bond between the kids and a nice mix of girls and boys. The outside space is quite small, it is well set out and keeps the kids entertained. The carers are excellent at teaching the kids and keeping it fun.


A special mention of the deputy manager who is excellent!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son is in Little Blossoms room, a team dedicated to the age groups of two years plus, based on the name Little Blossom, in his time of being at this nursery he has truly blossomed, at two he has made friends (even knows their names) being a late talker he has learnt to communicate and express himself
in ways I couldn't possibly have skills in. This is truly a home from home setting and I couldn't have asked for my child to be better looked after and truly grateful for the staff and their dedication to their children and work.
Without you all I wouldn't have peace of mind when I drop my child off. Thank you all.

This is a fantastic nursery where my son has been literally thriving since he started attending it 8 months ago when he was 6 months old. The place is nice, with a lovely outdoor space and lots of indoor space for the children to play. The staff are exceptional - very loving, nurturing and encouraging
with children and always available for parents. My son starts smiling as soon as he sees the members of staff in the morning, and beyond this I can feel he receives all he needs in terms of affection, stimulation, encouragement. I cannot recommend highly enough this wonderful place which is definitely full of good vibes.

Our son started at Bringing Up Baby (BuB) at 6 months old and is now two and a half. We couldn't be happier with BuB. Our son is so happy and loves being at BuB. The staff are fantastic, dedicate, caring, firm when necessary and full of laughter and fun!
It is a happy and caring environment with the
right balance of discipline and nurture. The staff go well above and beyond the call of duty and I couldn't recommend BuB more highly. Our son is so much better and happier for all of the amazing care and learning experiences he has at BnB.

I have been looking after a little boy who attends this nursery and have been very impressed with both the staff and the range of activities they have on offer. All members of staff have always been attentive and very patient with not just the children but as us adults also.


The children from what

I can see are always well cared for and they have a wide range of fun filled and educational activities on offer. I have already recommended this nursery to others and would encourage any parent or carer in doubt to give the manager a call (who is extremely friendly and full of information).


I adore this nursery as it is a lovely home away from home for the children they care for.

I think that this nursery gives the children a good opportunity to increase their independence. This nursery helps children if they have a disability or not which helps them as a child, and also their carer. I would recommend this nursery because they show a lot of qualities, the staff know how to deal
with difficult situations and other things. The nursery provides different things such as French which is nice because learning a new language is fun and it can help the children.

My son has been going to this nursery for 4 months now and he loves it. The staff are very loving with the babies and genuinely care about them. My son smiles as soon as he sees them which is a very good sign that he enjoys his time there. The facilities have everything they need at that age and I
am also very impressed with the variety of activities they have for them. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe and loving place for their baby.

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.
