Cumnor House School Nursery, South Croydon

My son started at another site when he was 2. As the other site didn't offer 51 weeks we moved him to South Croydon after 2 terms. The South Croydon site has been refurbished with new facilities and lots of new kit. Our son is happy and enjoys his time. We can see great social and interactive skills developing. His vocabulary is also improving. There was a lot of staff turnover initially with some communication difficulties but it seems to have settled now. We feel the other site offered a personalised touch with our interactions with the key worker that still seem to be lacking at South Croydon. It is surprising to see the difference in the quality of staff skills under the same banner. We'd have preferred the nursery to open 7.30 to 6.30 like most do as it is a great help for working parents. Irrespective of affordability, the nursery only offers 15 hours funding and only if your child attends full 5 days - not 30 hours per entitlement. Overall, the quality of learning and education / discipline is excellent.

He is developing relationships with his peers which is important and most importantly he is having fun. He enjoys singing and doing PE too and feeling like he is at “school”.

I am so glad that this nursery was recommended to me. My daughter is thriving and happy. Her key worker is wonderful. Every day she comes home having learned something new.
