Academy 4 Kids

My son has attended this nursery for over 3 years and it's been a really positive experience for him all round. The staff here are incredibly talented at what they do. I can't really recommend this place highly enough

A few things I'd highlight:

6) Loads of thought has been given to helping children with primary school transition.

My children started at the nursery 6 months ago (aged 9 months and 4 years) and I have nothing but praise for the fantastic team. The staff are all professional, nurturing and caring and create a wonderful, warm atmosphere for the children. I would recommend this nursery without reservation.

Both of our sons attended the nursery. We have been very happy with them. The staff has been attentive and supportive of our son's needs. The manager has been excellent and is really knowledgeable in all areas of childcare including SEN.

I have had both my kids go the Academy of kids and have a wonderful experience. My kids have always been so happy, well cared for and loved. Academy has been a second home for them. The nursery and the staff make the parents feel like a community.

The nursery did go through a little bit of a rough patch in terms of inspections etc but the way everyone has come out of, the support of the staff, the management in ensuring they are ticking all boxes has been commendable.

I would totally feel comfortable to recommend this place for anyone and everyone. Special mention to the manager who is a EXCELLENT manager

An outstanding nursery with wonderful staff, fantastic manager and brilliant office team, they look after every child with so much care and kindness ! Both my daughters loved Academy4kids and my older daughter who will be graduating soon has had the best experience here. They involve the parents in all their activities and they have new creative ideas for learning. They promote reading , learning through play, phonetics , counting and help with children's independence whilst guiding them and looking after them so closely . Thank you Academy for making my children's experience of going to nursery absolutely amazing !

Fantastic nursery! My daughter loves it, I love it. The staff are lovely and always so helpful. Feedback is given daily along with photos, which I appreciate seeing/reading after a long day.

I waited 6 month to get my daughter in to Academy 4 Kids and was well worth the wait. She has been there for 1.5 years and has the best time.

Also has a great outdoor play area, including a woodland. Which you don't get at lots of other Nursery's in the area (as far as I'm aware).

Would highly recommend to anyone!

As soon as she started we noticed a huge change in her development. She has been looked after well by the staff all of who we can't thank enough for looking after our daughter so well each day. She made lovely friends and bonds with the staff, some of whom she will really miss. We are looking forward to our son starting nursery next year.

Most importantly, the staff are amazing - very kind, thoughtful, communicative, and organised. Our son's key worker was such a huge part of his life the last few months - he was delighted to see her every day, and it was easy to see how much she genuinely cared about him. From day one, he was comfortable in the nursery, well cared for by the staff, and happy to be dropped off in the mornings. We have always felt that he was in great hands and having fun. I would strongly recommend Academy 4 Kids to anyone and hope to have all my children attend.

Academy 4 Kids is an exceptional nursery. The staff and key workers are amazing with the children, they care for the children and support their development all the way. My child has felt extremely comfortable attending this nursery and building relationships with others which has prepared her for school. They have a large indoor and outdoor space and children get to explore outside as much as possible throughout the day. The learning activities they organise throughout each week are very varied and allow the children to express themselves as much as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend Academy 4 Kids. Thank you all.

The staff at Academy 4 Kids are exceptional. Their kindness, attentiveness, and professionalism stands out from others. Both my children are well settled and hugely enjoy their days at the nursery. I have experienced the nursery at all ages and have always felt very confident in the care they receive from the staff. My children have established strong relationships with key workers and others. The manager is superb in her communication and organisation. Preschool is excellent and prepares the children well for school. The outdoor space is fantastic for the children’s learning and development and I love that they spend so much time in a variety of outdoor areas. Some aspects of the nursery could be modernised (baby toys etc.) but both my children have been very happy at Academy 4 Kids.

We have had 2 children attend this setting. Both have flourished well whilst at the nursery. They have been there from 11months - 4 years and the care they have received has been excellent. Friendly, caring while also nurturing. Staff look after the little ones well.

Over the last 6 years, I have had two children attend Academy 4 kids and first and foremost they have always felt safe, secure and enjoy attending the nursery. The carers truly care for the children, not just trying to get them to learn but care about them and make sure they are having fun, which naturally translates into progress in their development. Communication with the carers is always open and honest and there's a shared sense of how, as a collective with the family, we can support the children. There's also been good continuity with the carers, with the majority of staff members having stayed at the nursery for many years. They also have an impressive amount of activities that are on offer for children to do on a daily basis. Pre-covid the nursery also involved parents in person across a range of different activities and post-covid kept parents involved as best they can in the special moments. I would thoroughly recommend Academy 4 kids to anyone.

I would absolutely recommend Academy 4 Kids as a nursery choice. Our son was there from age 1 to 4 and was extremely happy throughout the different rooms and despite the upheaval during covid. We are extremely grateful to the caring staff for helping him flourish and getting him ready for school. The nursery stands out from others in the area because of its excellent and large outdoor areas. The children go outside come rain or shine; they have access to outdoor toys and slides and a magical muddy woodlands area that provides endless opportunities for imagination play. The graduation play and ceremony exemplified the staff’s care and dedication. We will miss nursery!

Our experience at Academy 4 Kids has been brilliant from day one. The building and grounds that the nursery is housed in are spacious and large for London. The bonus is the woodlands, where my son has loved spending many days digging and discovering the outdoor space. The learning and experiences that are meticulously planned for the children are amazing. The teachers show a real passion and love for their job and for the children that are in their care. We are so sad that our son will be leaving, but he is so ready to move on now, as the staff have prepared him so well and given him a strong foundation for his next step into reception. We wish the team at Academy 4 Kids all the very best and thank them for the wonderful journey.

We have been so delighted with our experience with Academy 4 kids, our daughter has really flourished there. We feel very grateful to all the staff for their commitment to providing great safe childcare whilst the children are having so much fun! Even in Covid times they have made it work well there, the outside spaces are a huge bonus. We would definitely recommend Academy 4 kids, and I know our daughter will be sad to leave this summer.

My child has had a wonderful experience at Academy 4 Kids over the past 2 years. The staff have been wonderful, especially creating a familiar and safe environment to offer continuity during the pandemic and the arrival of a new sibling. The facilities, in particular the woodlands, are fantastic and the huge range of activities offered have helped his development. I credit the nursery with helping my child to develop into such a happy, confident, chatty little boy and we will be very sad to leave.

We feel very fortunate that our choice of nursery worked out so well and hold fond memories. Would whole-heartedly recommend Academy 4 Kids.

We feel so fortunate that our son spent 3 very happy years at Academy 4 Kids, and that he's been so well prepared for starting school - his transition has been incredibly easy, which is undoubtedly down to the groundwork done by his nursery teachers. The entire team are committed, nurturing, highly skilled and bring huge amounts of energy and creativity to everything they do. We felt so supported by them throughout my son's nursery journey and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Academy 4 Kids to anyone thinking of sending their children there. The outside space, so rare for nurseries in London, is what attracted us to the nursery, but it's the staff who make it such a special place.

My daughter has really grown since coming here and is now ready for reception. She had such a great time and made loads of friends. The staff really made the place as they are so caring and loving. The outdoor setting when I originally looked around was a deal-breaker for me as there is so much space and a back woodlands part. I would highly recommend this setting for your child.

My children have had a lovely time at Academy. They received lots of loving care whilst having great fun! They particularly enjoyed the woodlands and the large interesting playground. They loved all the craft activities, stretch and grow, the singing and the shows! Academy staff have prepared them very well for starting school. Thank you!
