My son loves coming to Active Learning, Kingston. The structured days are a great idea and I feel that my son's progress is regularly monitored. They offer a wide range of activities lead by specific teachers such as art, sport, ballet and French along with all the other sessions you would expect to have in a nursery. There is even a library if you want to borrow a book to share with your child. The structured teaching programme with a dedicated and well-trained teacher is great and my son is progressing well.
All the staff, are friendly and helpful and go out of their way to make sure my son is happy and enjoying nursery. They have also been amazing in supporting us with an additional educational needs assessment and have ensured that all staff in the nursery are aware of my son's needs. This has helped a great deal in terms of his progress, development and overall happiness at the nursery. Parents are also given a full handover by their key worker at the end of a session which is great.
My son is 13 months old and after his settling in period, he seems very happy when every morning we go to the nursery (he starts smiling from the gate). He loves the staff and the babies are offered a range of stimulating activities. There is also a quite big play area outside. The chef working...
I would recommend it.

We have used this nursery for the past 4.5 years for both our girls and we have always been very impressed with the facilities and the staff employed there. The staff are genuinely interested in the kids as individuals and I have always been confident that my girls would be happy, safe and well looked after during their time there. The facilities are amazing and I love the different dedicated spaces that the nursery offers for different activities such as sport, dance, music, art, science, IT, sleep or sensory time. I also love the fact that there are specialist teachers in addition to the core nursery staff to deliver variation and structure to the kids’ day. Overall, my girls have loved their time at this nursery and it has prepared them well for school. I would recommend it to others.
Fantastic nursery - genuinely caring staff and wonderful learning environment. My little one loves the people and always comes home talking about all the things she's done (they keep the kids busy!) and also I can see her development from her confidence to learning letters of the week and the...
Fantastic nursery - genuinely caring staff and wonderful learning environment. My little one loves the people and always comes home talking about all the things she's done (they keep the kids busy!) and also I can see her development from her confidence to learning letters of the week and the French lessons. I highly recommend this nursery.
This is a great nursery. My son has been going since he was 10 months old and at every stage, I have felt he was safe, secure and well looked after. In particular, I've been impressed with how sensitively staff have supported my son and me as a parent in his transition into a new room, taking it...
This is a great nursery. My son has been going since he was 10 months old and at every stage, I have felt he was safe, secure and well looked after. In particular, I've been impressed with how sensitively staff have supported my son and me as a parent in his transition into a new room, taking it slowly to get him used to the move. My son has had a great connection with all of his key workers who really care about doing their job well and about the children in their charge. He does arts, crafts, French, ballet... All amazing things that help him grow and develop and help me feel that but less guilty about going to work.
The nursery itself is spacious with a big, safe garden for kids to run around in.
Thoroughly recommended!
Our daughter is incredibly happy at nursery and this is more important than anything else. She loves all the staff and they clearly love and care for her. She enjoys a range of activities and is thriving in the environment.

I have my two children going to this nursery and Active Learning has provided wonderful care for them. The staff are very attentive and make the children feel very loved and cared for. My children were in nappies when they first started but now they've almost finished potty training. During that...
The various extra classes such as sports, ballet, French are taught by professional teachers so I feel my children are able to receive better education for each subject.
I've already recommended the nursery to two parents and they are quite satisfied too so I've no problem in recommending Active Learning Kingston here as well!
My daughter started without knowing any words in English. Within the first 6 months she was able to communicate very well and every day she comes home knowing more and more.

My daughter started without knowing any words in English. Within the first 6 months she was able to communicate very well and every day she comes home knowing more and more.
The reason I decided to bring her to this nursery, is because they have a different approach in learning.
I love the fact that they are having art classes where they focus on actual artists and their work. So drawing isn't just making a smudge on a paper.
They learn how to play different sports games where someone explains the rules and instructions. Not just kicking a ball.
They learn about different music instruments, apart from just 'making noise' with them.
It feels that with the specific programme, the point isn't to just 'keep the kids busy until mummy comes to pick them up', but they're actually interested in introducing them in different fields of knowledge, through activities and while playing.
Also, family environment and very friendly stuff.

My son really enjoys Active Learning Kingston. The team do a great job keeping the kids entertained and have a wealth of activities that not only keep them active but also stimulate their minds meaning they are always learning new skills. His key worker is also great at keeping us up to speed, with both his ongoing development and day to day activities.
My son has been at the nursery for the past two years and loves going to there so much that some days he doesn't want to leave when I pick him up!

My son has been at the nursery for the past two years and loves going to there so much that some days he doesn't want to leave when I pick him up! We have been really impressed with how he has developed through the variety of activities the nursery has to offer. He has grown from a shy little boy to being a confident preschooler - the friendly staff are fantastic and always keep me up to date on how my son is doing. What I really like is that there are specialist teachers for art, music, sport, nursery etc. who have a passion for their subjects to make learning fun. We are very glad to have chosen this nursery for our son who is very happy there and he has made so many good friends there even at such a young age.
Since joining Active Learning Kingston my daughter has learned so much. Starting off with not knowing a word of English to now fully being able to speak and understand the language within 6 months is truly amazing to watch. She has developed so much socially and academically. Staff here are always...
I picked this nursery out of 15! And I am glad I made the right decision and can see its effects! Thank you to all the brilliant staff!
