Review from S V (Mother of Child) published on 8 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I currently have 2 children at Stickys and they both absolutely love it. We are also very pleased with the nursery, and all the staff. It's a wonderful caring and nurturing environment, both children settled really quickly and are very fond of all the teachers. It really helps that there is a low turn over, I feel that they all really care for the children and give lovely updates at the end of each day and at regular check ins. I don't mind that there is no app as I think they are spending time with the children, rather than constantly taking pics and updating an iPad.
The outside space is perfect for small children and they spend lots of time out there.
Both children have thrived and love repeating songs, stories and activities they have done in the day. Their speech and writing skills are impressive and they love all the extra curricular activities.

We feel very happy to have found this lovely independent nursery and highly recommend it.

Review from Aurelie O (Mother of Child) published on 20 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son absolutely loves going to nursery every morning, which brings us such peace of mind as parents. He loves playing in the garden, enjoying the homemade meals prepared by the chef, and spending time with all the lovely staff. The nursery also organises a wide range of activities and events throughout the year that parents can attend, which has been wonderful for seeing the children grow and develop. We couldn't be happier with Sticky Fingers!

Overall Experience

My daughter attended SF's for 2.5 years and I couldn't be happier with the experience and care she received. The nursery is caring and nurturing. It is independently owned and managed which gives it a warm family atmosphere. My daughter thrived from the great mix of routine, learning, playing and socialising. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Overall Experience

We love Sticky Fingers, we count ourselves lucky all the time that we found this nursery. Our eldest daughter went here and now our twins boys. The staff are so caring and our sons run in happily every morning. They have so many activities each day, have made so many friends and come home with tonnes of artwork, songs, new words all the time. Wonderful place.

Review from Charlie S (Father of Child) published on 9 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Sticky fingers is an extremely nurturing environment.

It is family owned and there is no doubt that the culture and staff retention benefits as a result.

My eldest thrived there, my younger child has settled in very well and any future children will undoubtedly go there as well.

We were at a private equity owned nursery before and parents and staff at that nursery were treated as commodities. So this is night and day better.

Well done this small independently owned nursery. Such a loving and homely environment. For our cur children, amazing activities, structure and child led play. Amazing staff, managed so well and feel like everyone genuinely cares about all the children. All 3 of my children have gone here, it really is a wonderful space.

A delightful nursery that combines a warm, nurturing environment with highly considered care and learning. Their excellent Montessori programme provides a rich variety of purposeful activities, and the nutritious menu reflects their commitment to children's wellbeing.

Review from C P (Mother of Child) published on 27 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Sticky Fingers is a wonderful environment as a nursery. The team really cares about the kids and their development. We moved our daughter to Sticky when She was 2yo. She really struggled to settle (she does not like changes at all!) The staff was so patient and truly amazing with her. She's been there for almost 2 years now and she loves going there and has truly grown her confidence. The outside could be better but honestly there is everything kids need at their age. We love the extra curriculum activities like ballet, sports and crafts with the local elderly, or going to the local library. We would move our daughter again with no hésitation!

Review from Ed A (Father of Child) published on 25 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Sticky's is a wonderful nursery. My first son spent 2 years there and loved it, and my second son is a year in. The staff are exceptional, and look after the children so well. There is a really nice family feel about the nursery, and they often get external providers in to run sessions such as sport, ballet, and animal handling workshops. Definitely recommend!

Review from J P (Mother of Child) published on 25 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter has been at Stickies for over two years and we couldn't recommend it more. We have experience of two other local nurseries and think Stickies is head and shoulders above them.
Why do we like it - management and leadership are excellent and create a brilliant culture. We can tell it is run with thought, care and experience putting the children first. Staff are calm, warm, experienced and it feels like a lot of time is taken to find the right candidates - turnover also feels proportionately low compared to other settings and we value the consistency.

We like how much time the children spend outside, both in free play and activities and there is also a lot of extra curricular activities that keep the children stimulated and busy. The Montessori style means the children are supported to learn and development but at their own pace and in their own way. The nursery feels like an extended family rather than another business and we are happy really happy we found them.

Review from E B (Mother of Child) published on 25 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has attended Sticky Fingers for a year. She is so happy and settled and has come on leaps and bounds since joining. She enjoys a range of activities and is always happy at the end of a nursery day, full of chatter about what she's been up to. The staff are warm and caring and the nursery really invests in its people. We love the community at the nursery and enjoy watching our daughter flourish there.

Review from Jodie J (Mother of Child) published on 26 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Sticky Fingers is situated in a church hall close to Earlsfield Station. The inside area is open plan, so kids have a large space to roam in, rather than being confined to just one room. Since my son started attending the nursery, his language skills and independence have improved tremendously. He could not sing the words to songs before he started but he shocked us after one week in nursery by singing nursery rhymes (albeit garbled). The nursery manager is very hands-on and has called me personally on a number of occasions to provide updates. My son is happy there and the teachers provide a firm but caring environment for him.

There are just two small negatives. First, the nursery does not have an app or any consistent means to provide updates. You may or may not be told at pick-up about your child's food, sleep, activities etc. Second, the outdoor area is fairly small and has no grass. All this is reflected in the price - the nursery is more affordable than others.
