Review from Lea T (Mother of Child) published on 19 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
As a new mother, sending your 7-month-old baby to nursery for the very first time was challenging. The staff at Hungry Caterpillar Northolt have been brilliant with both a very nervous and anxious mum and a very young baby.
My son is developing and growing so well as a lovely little human whilst attending the nursery, he is always happy to be dropped off in the morning and is obviously fond of all the staff that care for him.
The environment is super clean and safe and not overly large. We love looking at the app during the day to keep up to date on what he has been up to.

Highly Recommended.

Review from U K (Mother of Child) published on 28 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot express how happy I am with this nursery - from their standards of care, the level of patience and kindness of the members of staff towards my child and myself, up to the time given to us to maximise and reassure our child’s learning journey. Honestly, the team here are commendable! I’ve always found every member approachable when I have a query, and I have many! They have always provided lots of information and transparency in our best interests. My son went from struggling to make his first words after 2 years old to continuous chat within 6 months and we have everyone here to thank for accommodating and encouraging him to gain confidence, always to grow and do better. I have never felt any tension in this positive environment and this reflects my son’s experience. The environment is accepting and multicultural which has been a pleasant experience for us. Thank you again everyone for everything and for setting him up for success at the beginning of his life.

Great staff, very friendly and reassuring to a first-time parent. Have never applied for a nursery or school and the management helped me through the process which took a lot of pressure off. Loving the information given via the app and having that communication with the nursery while away.

Staff are all very friendly, keep me informed with everything I need to know. Settling weeks were stress-free due to the staff understanding my child’s needs. Would recommend the nursery to others in the future.

Overall Experience

Hungry Caterpillar Nursery is a wonderful place where my son attends. The staff is caring and attentive to my child and we have seen him grow as a person as well as learn many key skills preparing for when he moves into a school environment. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, with a variety of activities that stimulate creativity and development. I highly recommend Hungry Caterpillars Nursery to any parent looking for a safe and enriching place for their child to thrive. Well maintained.

Overall Experience
My child recently started the nursery. I’m impressed with how attentive the staff are and how friendly they are.
My child settled very well and the staff really made the transition period for me easy.

The pictures, handover and weekly updates regarding the children’s progress make me feel reassured that my child is learning in the correct environment.

My 8-month-old absolutely loves going to the nursery. Their development and eating has massively advanced since starting there. The staff are lovely and there are plenty of activities. The outdoor space is great too. The communication is also very good, with regular updates on what they have been doing.

My son loves going to Hungry Caterpillar. They provide a range of activities and the environment is conducive for learning. They encourage children to be independent and prepare them for primary school which greatly helped my son. The staff are friendly professional and accommodating. Simply the best.

Overall Experience

We have had an overall great experience but we found that every time we request extended care, the response takes a very long time to approve or decline. This of course has an impact on how we can plan for things so if this could improve, that would be great.

Review from C S (Mother of Child) published on 24 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Great nursery with lots of variety of activities. My son has been attending for just over a year. When I stated I was very anxious and they were very reassuring and gave me constant updates to keep my mind at ease.
I really enjoy seeing the pictures regularly on the app. The staff are always available to talk with me and talk about my child’s development.
The food menu always has variety and my son comes home full and happy. The environment is always clean any time I have visited.

I wish there was more stability within the staff team since he has started there have been a number of staff changes but this doesn’t appear to have affected my son. I do feel that sometimes there is no continuity of care though.

Reply from Daisy Sanders, Marketing at Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - Northolt

Thank you for your lovely review! We try and limit staff changes as much as possible. We would like to reassure you that even with some staff changes, the team at Northolt continues to deliver a high level of care. We are glad to hear that this hasn't affected your son and it is great that your son comes home from nursery happy!

My little one is happy to go to nursery as he enjoys the environment and activities. Looking after babies is a difficult job and I am confident that my little one is well looked after by caring and friendly staff. Also, there is enough space and equipment for babies to play.

Today my son was very very happy, after more than 8 hours in the nursery he was crying because he didn't want to leave. Happy to play with his mates. I saw so many happy children today, with tired but smiling professional teachers. Good team. Good job.
