Review from H P (Mother of Child) published on 1 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We visited a few nurseries before settling for Hungry Caterpillars because when we visited it, I just knew it was the one. The nursery itself is very nice, the staff is super friendly, and the food menu seemed delicious and of course nutritious. It felt like the right place instantly. The best thing is the accurate updates provided on the app. Even if the child wouldn't eat anything they will mention that. My child seems to enjoy the nursery and we are seeing such positive developments in her. They keeps parents engaged and have lots of fun events. I would definitely recommend.

Review from H K (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

As a mum, choosing the right nursery for my 2.5-year-old was such an important decision, and I couldn't be happier with our experience. Since starting preschool, I've already seen such a positive improvement in his behaviour and social skills. He's becoming more confident, independent, and is learning to interact and play so well with other children.

The staff are incredibly patient, caring, and understanding. They take the time to really get to know him as an individual, which gives me so much reassurance. I feel completely comfortable leaving him in their care each day.

I'm also very impressed with the nutritious meals and the variety of food provided - he's even trying new things! The outdoor garden is safe and secure, and he loves riding the bikes and scooters while taking part in engaging activities.

His personal care is excellent, and the regular app updates keep me informed and reassured. Overall, we're having such a positive experience and would highly recommend this nursery

Review from Jade E (Mother of Child) published on 20 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son started at age 1 and has been with the nursery for almost two years. He is now in the preschool room and approaching his 3rd birthday. The overall experience has been consistently positive and nurturing, helping him grow in confidence, curiosity, and social skills. The staff have been exceptionally caring, patient, and friendly. He remains a happy, engaged, and more independent learner in the preschool room. The nursery supports imaginative play, early literacy and numeracy through daily activities, and opportunities for physical exploration. Communication has been regular and clear, with progress updates that have been reassuring and helpful for us as parents. The environment feels safe, welcoming, and well-organized, featuring clean spaces, well-structured routines, and ample opportunities for creativity and outdoor play. I highly recommend this nursery for families seeking a warm, supportive, and development-focused early years setting. Our son has thrived :)

I can't say enough wonderful things.
My son absolutely loves all the staff in the nursery, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing he's in a caring, safe, and stimulating environment. The teachers are incredibly kind, patient, and attentive - they truly care about Ryan's happiness and development.
I've noticed such a positive change in my son since he started - he's become more confident and excited to learn new things. The activities are always creative and age-appropriate, and I really appreciate the regular updates and photos that keep me involved in his day.

The nursery feels like a big family, and I'm so grateful for the love and effort the entire team puts into making it such a special place.

I've been sending my daughter to Hungry Caterpillar Northolt for almost three years now, and I have nothing bad to say about them. The team is amazing-loving, caring, friendly, and very accommodating. The activities are well-structured, the food is great, and they do a fantastic job teaching kids good manners and habits. The children always wash their hands, tidy up their toys, and the space is always spotless. I'd recommend this nursery a million times-such a great experience!

My son absolutely loves nursery, what makes it better is the bond he's created with certain members of staff. When he first started I was a very anxious mum having to leave him but the staff made it so much easier during the settling in sessions for me. I love going on the app to see what he's eaten throughout the day and also the picture updates we receive. Would highly recommend Northolt hungry caterpillars!

Review from Rachel A (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The main asset for Northolt nursery is definitely the staff! They're very attentive and were really supportive with settling our daughter. They know our daughter so well and their influence on her personal and social development is very apparent. We are confident that our daughter will meet her developmental milestones in their care. She loves going to nursery each day, having formed genuine bonds with the practitioners. The staff's engagement with us as parents is also amazing. We feel very much involved in her nursery experience and greatly appreciate the regular updates on the Famly app. It's a highlight of my lunch to see what my child has eaten or to see photos/videos of how she has spent her day. From the activities our child enjoys in nursery, it has given us more insight into the kinds of activities we should try with our daughter, even when we thought she was too young to explore them. We can see our daughter is delighted with the learning opportunities she experiences!
