Fennies Croydon, Addiscombe Road

The facilities, the food, the activities, the events, the trips... all of this is important and Fennies does it brilliantly. But then so do plenty of other nurseries, I'm sure.

There's only really one thing that babies and children need to thrive: to be loved by adults who stay. For years. Not months nor weeks. This is what makes Fennies stand out. I have never met such warm and committed teachers, many of whom were there from the day we started and were still there when we left 3 years later. I was continuously amazed by the never-ending love and patience the staff had for both my children. Day in and day out. And we know how relentless little ones can be...!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving my children the best start to their education and their lives that any parent would wish for.

We've had a great experience with this nursery. Our daughter is always happy to go in and has come on leaps and bounds since starting, especially with her walking and speaking. The staff are warm, caring, and genuinely invested in the children's development.

As first-time nursery parents, they really put our minds at ease and made the whole experience so positive. The manager sets a lovely tone throughout the nursery with a caring and approachable attitude. We'd highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

Well done to all of them! In the end, our child is well looked after and that's our number one priority.

The staff at Fennies Addiscombe are truly remarkable. You can tell they all really love children and are dedicated to making sure they have days filled with joy and learning. My daughter has been attending for a year now every single day she is happy to be there. The communication is brilliant throughout the day with updates on what the children are up to, and you can also reach out directly if you have any questions for the staff.

The chefs cook nutritious meals daily, meaning my daughter gets to eat a wide variety of food on a weekly basis. My daughter is absolutely thriving here and I will be sad when she has to move on to start school.

Picking Fennies was a great choice for us. My daughter has been there since she was 12 months old, and she's been going now for 5 months. She's become so much more social and she's learning lots there! I'm very comfortable leaving her there as it's a safe, clean, playful environment. The staff are amazing, all queries are answered quickly and they always put on events and activities for the kids and parents alike! Such a positive experience for me as a first time mum leaving her child for the first time into the care of others!

Wonderful, energetic, knowledgeable and positive staff who our girls just love! Settling in was a breeze and they happily walk into their room every morning. They've developed course relationships with the room staff and we get regular updates on how they're doing most days in addition to specific development updates for each kiddo.

My daughter loves going to nursery every day!

Also really appreciate how the staff keep me up to date with how my daughter is getting on throughout the day with updates and also are always super responsive.

My child has been attending Fennies Nursery Croydon - Addiscombe Road since 2021. She has a number of allergies and the protocols in place at this nursery really helped reassure me that they would keep her safe at meal times and beyond. Since her first day in the baby room, my child has always been excited to go to nursey, she has developed lovely relationships with the staff who all care about her. She has had the same key worker for the last two years! They have moved rooms with her as she grows, giving her huge stability. The nursery keeps us very informed of all that goes on. The activities that the children do are very engaging and creative. They do stay and play frequently so parents and carers can see and engage with the children in their classes. I am very happy with the care and ability to play and create offered to her at Fennies - Addiscombe.

Definitely recommend!

My toddler has been going to Fennies in Addiscombe since he turned 1 and he absolutely loves it. I have never felt apprehensive in any way about his welfare, happiness, diet etc. The staff are all amazing and so caring. I'm always so impressed at all the activities they do. So much creative play and wonderful ways of learning. Weather permitting they can burn energy in the garden which my son loves. You get great feedback from the staff and also the app is really good as it keeps you connected to what they are up to through lots of fun photos. You can also see what they have eaten etc. Overall I can't recommend this nursery enough!

We are very happy with Fennies at Addiscombe Road, Croydon. My son is super excited every morning! It is a clean, organised place and they are very good with communicating and responding to both emails and phone calls. I feel comfortable in asking questions and always get the best advice from the teachers for my son's development. They are very active on the app, sharing loads of activities and meal ideas. They also offer a fresh meal collection service, which is ideal for a single working mum like me. Special thank you to two members of staff. I highly recommend.

Both my children attended Fennies and I would highly recommend this nursery. We have always felt that our kids were not only well looked after, but that they had a genuine bond with their teachers/carers. Everyone we encountered from the carers to chefs and management are lovely, friendly and welcoming. Both children have bounced into nursery every day with a big smile, excited for the day ahead. It's very reassuring to know they are so happy there and well looked after while we are at work.

My daughter joined the nursery at 7 months old and the care she has received has been amazing. The staff made me feel so comfortable during the settling-in process taking the time to answer my many questions. The nursery is beautiful especially their outside space, and the children are provided with such a vast range of learning experiences. I love the use of tapestry, being able to see pictures of what my little girl has been doing during the day is so lovely, she is very there.

My son has been at Fennies since September 2020. He started later than I had planned due to lockdown so I was very worried about how he would settle. My older son had been at Fennies since he was 8 months old and loved his time there so Fennies was always my first choice. The staff are fantastic and my son soon settled. Every day when I drop him off he is greeted with happy and smiling faces. When I collect him each day, he greets me beaming and full of confidence and I know all of the staff in his room have made his day happy and special. His development has come along such a long way since he joined and the activities and outside space there are brilliant. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you to Fennies for all of the love and care you provide.

Fennies is an absolutely wonderful nursery. I brought my child back here after a year of being away abroad and I was so happy that places were available. The staff are absolutely wonderful and so supportive of helping and ensuring my child will have met his needs. They have a wonderful, newly refurbished garden and my child is happy to run in every day. They have a good variety of food on their menu. I am so pleased with this nursery and will fully recommend.

Fennies Addiscombe Road is an excellent nursery. Our child is cared for by her experiences motivated nursery staff in a positive, kind learning environment. My only concern which has not been addressed is that email communication about our child is only sent to 1 parent, not both (payment account information only needs one parent). Can this please be reviewed and addressed so mothers and fathers are included.

Amazing nursery! My daughter has been there from 15 months (she is now 32 months) and has been in the baby room, toddler room and now pre-school room and she absolutely loved each class and teacher she had. My husband and I felt that everyone in Fennies has been taking care to develop our daughter and has adapted to her needs. The nursery also feels safe, clean and friendly, there is even some free coffee and tea for parents in the morning and fruits and water for kids.

My son has been going to this nursery since he was 1 years old and very much enjoys it here. the staff are professional and friendly and give you detailed updates each day with what your child has been up to and enjoyed. They provide a variety of different foods at mealtimes and have a nice garden for them to play in.

I leave her there knowing she will be well looked after and has loads fo fun.
