Dicky Birds Day Nursery and Preschool Surbiton, Claremont Road

Since our son started to attend Dicky Birds we have noted great improvements in his social and communication skills. He is happy to go in the mornings and even asks for it on the weekends. We are very happy with our nursery!

We have had two kids at No. 62 since 2018 and are really happy with the care and education they receive. It is a really lovely, friendly nursery with a small and welcoming feel to it. Staff are great with kids and parents and the managers are very approachable.

We couldn’t be happier with the care provided for our daughter at No.62! She has flourished under the care of the dedicated staff who have a professional yet personal approach. It is clear that each one of the team loves their job! Communication is prompt and detailed and queries are answered immediately.

Staff are great and our daughter loves it there.

My daughter has attended Dicky Birds No. 62 since the age of 8 months. The settling-in sessions were lovely and since the day she started, we've never had any issues. She's transitioned through the rooms, is 'best friends' with the staff and literally runs in every morning very excited to get there. I feel lucky to have found No. 62. The staff are all so friendly, fun and caring. The food menus are great - good hearty varied meals. They go out for walks, outings, do sports and have a forest school for preschoolers. The staff have also worked through the pandemic making it safe and educating the children about the virus in a 'light' way so the new processes of safety are understood. I would highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for a trusted small family-like nursery.

No. 62 is a really special nursery in the Dicky Birds portfolio. Both my children attend and love everyone that takes care of them so much. They are upset on the day they can’t go to nursery and truly enjoy their 10 hours a day there. Both have different personalities and have flourished at No. 62 with sports and forest school being my eldest’s favorite. The staff really care for the kids and it’s apparent in their happy faces at drop-off and collection.

For me, this nursery is 5 stars. The staff took the time out to learn about my daughter and respond to her individual needs. They deliver interactive, engaging and skill-developing activities which are fun and I really like how they support children to be confident about themselves. I feel very assured my daughter is in capable and safe hands which was one of my biggest things on a nursery wish list. The communication is impressive whether this is individual or collectively such as the regular newsletter. I could go on but most of all I love seeing my little one walk out with a smile on her face and evidence of a good day whether that’s grubby knees from rolling around or a bit of paint in her hair! She is very content and has built some great attachments there.

Both of my daughters have attended Dicky Birds No. 62 Claremont Road and we’ve been really happy with the care provided to them both. The girls have also been super happy at nursery. The setting is clean and inviting, with loads of well organised toys and activities for the children. Particularly during the pandemic, the email communication from Dicky Birds No. 62 Claremont Road has been great. During lockdown the nursery suggested loads of activities for the children which was very helpful. The nursery is in a convenient location for Surbiton station and we like the fact that it’s set back from the road. The only downside for those with really active children is that the garden is pretty small. We’d definitely recommend the nursery to our friends and have done so already!

Our daughter has attended Dicky Birds No. 62 Claremont Road for almost three years. The best review I can give is to say that she can't wait to get there in the mornings and I can't recall her ever saying she wasn't looking forward to going. She is very fond of all the staff and never has a bad word to say about any of them. She recently got upset when it dawned on her that progressing to school in September meant having to leave all the staff at Dicky Birds No. 62 Claremont Road behind. Staff have always been very professional in their dealings with us and are always happy to accommodate any extra instructions where practical. Only negative I can think of is that parking and drop off by car can be a bit of a pain, but its usually okay.

In terms of safety, the team were excellent with my son's medical/dietary needs and have been amazing throughout the pandemic.
