Anerley, South London, a GrandirUK Day Nursery

Our daughter is preparing for school this September, she has been at the nursery since she was 1. She has absolutely loved nursery, as have we. The staff are amazing, they have been apart of our village supporting her development and she is ready for the next milestone because of their support, care and input. Everyday is full of activities which interested her and development her learning. Weekly P.E and Spanish have been a massive hit with her!

This nursery is amazing, the staff are wonderful and the enrichment activities that they plan for the children are brilliant. They prepare food on site so the children always enjoy fresh food everyday. The staff are also really good at helping the children find their own way, rewarding them when they have had a good day, but also guiding and supporting them when they have experienced challenges. Above all, it's clear that they all care deeply for the children that they look after.

Lovely team that shows a lot of affection and care to the children. Our daughter loves going to nursery although she's only 15 months old! The environment is rich and stimulating and the team is always kind and provides timely and helpful updates that make me and my husband feel safe and confident that our child is in good hands. I recommend Anerley nursery

Our son joined Anerley Day when he was nearly 3 years old (we moved houses at the time) and he has been enjoying all the activities and learning so far. He has made great friends and we like to view regular updates, photos and comments on the app, showing our son being involved with the activities and other children. It is a big nursery with a lot of kids around and a big pool of staff, which has sometimes been slightly unsettling if his key carers move to another room or leave the nursery. However every staff member is genuinely nice, caring and engaging with the children so that's very positive. We love the variety of activities the kids do: singing, reading, crafting, baking, drawing, getting messy with new textures, building objects, etc. Also a great thing is the weekly themes where children learn about a specific topic such as Space, Science, Super-heroes, Maths, etc. The staff also take the kids out to the library or the park or even went to buy fishes to have as pets :)

Really lovely nursery with a friendly team who all have a genuine connection with our daughter. Our daughter talks about all of her carers with great fondness and excitedly points out the nursery every time we go past. She eats well, sleeps well and is excited to see everyone every day which I think is a great sign that she has a wonderful time. We are allocated a key person in each class (although in reality it feels like at least 2/3 build a really strong bond) and we periodically have meetings to discuss the development progress, areas that are doing well and areas to work on, and we get a little insight of how much they care about our child in the way they can speak at length about their quirks and personality which is really reassuring as a parent to know how safe your child will feel on a daily basis.

I honestly couldn't recommended Anerley day nursery more. I was super nervous to start my son in a nursery and they went above and beyond to make sure he was settled. I have always felt extremely safe leaving him there for the day and have felt how much he is cared for each day. He has built such a strong relationship with staff and mentions their name all day and night which clearly indicates the love he feels for them too. He always comes back happy after his day and any requests that I've asked them to do has been no problem. They update on the app well and message you directly for anything you've messaged about. It's a great nursery with a great team.

The staff are very polite and have a great line of communication, both in person and when away from my child while he is in their care. Amazing learning facilities with so many activities to choose from!

Fantastic nursery. The team are brilliant and really cares about the children and seems to know them really well. There are lots of creative and interesting activities to support their learning and to help them develop; for example, learning about road safety, or helping to cook lunch. Our son is really happy there and I would 100% recommend it!

Our daughter loves going to Anerley Day Nursery. The staff are friendly and attentive, we are kept up to date well as parents and we have seen our child develop new skills and expand her vocabulary every week. Activities are very varied and creative, it is a joy to see. The nursery seems well managed which is an impression we got from our very first contact onwards and always responsive, flexible and helpful. We couldn't have asked for a better place for our daughter.

A pleasant setting with lots of space and thought-out areas and enough outside space for a London location. Staff seem friendly, take time to update us and appear to have genuine connections with our children. Since new management and ownership in the last couple of years, it is much improved, with a far more human touch and less staff turnover. Also wonderful to see some male staff, in such a key role for children's development.

I think it's a safe, loving and stimulating environment for my child.

Very happy with the nursery. My son has been really happy here. The nursery team keeps us up to date. Excellent food for children. Very happy. Regular stay and plays, regular parents' evenings help to involve parents.

A wonderful place with great toys and decor for children, lovely staff and caring. They genuinely care about children and I can see this when dropping my son who is smiling and jumping to get in. Highly recommended.

Normally I am not writing reviews, however, I decided to do so for other parents who might be reading these, like I did when I decided to enrol my child here. There are activities during the day, however these are not always communicated with parents so we are not always aware what our child is doing unless we ask specifically for more information. Few times that we joined the nursery for parents/kids activities we felt that staff did not have any special bonds with our son which is sad to think especially when he spends five days a week there. The garden in the back is small so we feel that was ok up until 2.5 years old, but as kids need to be more active a bigger garden would be beneficial to release their energy. Once Grandir took over changes are just announced and it's hard to understand to who to talk to. Also on the website outings to local parks are advertised but these are not happening. On the good side the food is freshly made onsite every day!

The room is very nice - recently refurbished and with good facilities. The staff set up a different theme each week for the children, with garden and park time.

My son has been at the nursery since he was 5 months old, the team have gone above and beyond to support my son from day one, my daughter also used to attend the nursery and there has been two consistent staff since then that have been like family, could not have asked for a better setting. Every single person is friendly and really goes above and beyond. Even though my son has special needs he is not treated any different. He is loved by everyone in the building from the management team to the staff in the kitchen. Anerley Day Nursery really has given me a home-from-home experience and can’t recommend it enough to anyone looking for somewhere that their child will be happy!

The food is varied and wonderful to see little man exploring new foods.

Great experience, the staff are really helpful and I feel it has really helped with my daughter's development. I have nothing but good words for how they have handled the care of my daughter and frequently kept us up to date with her activities.

My son has definitely become more confident since starting nursery, which has made social settings easier for us outside of nursery, so thank you so much.

My daughter loves her time at nursery and has developed really strong social, speaking, numerical and practical skills from being at nursery since she was 1. The staff are brilliant and I know my daughter is being well looked after. Thank you.
