Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery with really brilliant, caring staff. My first child loved it and my second loves it too, she has a big grin when I tell her it's nursery day. That's down to the lovely team there who clearly genuinely care about the children and are great at coming up with creative activities to support their development.

Review from Debbie R (Mother of Child) published on 9 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
When my maternity leave ended, I was very anxious and worried about leaving my daughter and sending her to nursery. I had no idea what to expect and was dreading the first day.

The Crystal Palace nursery staff have been absolutely brilliant. From the first day I felt they had her best interests at heart. They helped her settle in and soon she started to enjoy her days. Now nearly 2, my daughter tells me about her day, knows all the staff by name and talks of them fondly. They always go above and beyond when drop off is difficult, giving her the attention she needs to feel safe and happy. They have great activities such as hatching baby chicks and butterflies! We are sad she will be moving up soon and leaving the baby class as she seems very happy there. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Review from Clementine B (Mother of Child) published on 28 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our baby boy started here at 10 months and left at 16 months because we moved house. We were absolutely heartbroken to leave the CP Day nursery family! The staff were all absolutely wonderful, so attentive and creative with the little ones. It's such a nice environment that you want to stick around and play during drop off and pick up! We couldn't have hoped for a better experience. Our boy was so happy going to nursery every day and created real bonds with the staff. Thank you to everyone there!

Overall Experience

This is an absolutely wonderful nursery. Our little boy is so happy here and has developed so much since he started going. The staff are all lovely and so caring, and our son has really bonded with them. We really like the outdoor space and the fact that as the children are all 0-2 they all play together - it's a great set up. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a nursery in Crystal Palace.

Lovely staff. Our son settled in so quickly and is very happy there. Good communication via the app. Very flexible around our needs as parents regarding drop off times and the like. Our son seems to love the food and all the team there. Also very good hours and no random early closures or similar that we had at our previous nursery. They also do lots of activities and trips.

Overall Experience

Our child has been with this nursery since turning 1. The care, love, and attention the staff provide is absolutely heart-warming. There is a set of experienced core staff, with apprentices helping as needed. Every day has new activities, and our child absolutely loves going. Illnesses and incidents have been handled professionally, we've never had any worries that our child is very well looked after. The management are experienced and responsive. The small group size is also a real bonus for the little ones. I would absolutely recommend this nursery!

My daughter has been at Crystal Palace Day Nursery for around 6months and it's been a dream. We are so happy with the care and attention she receives. We are always so pleased to drop off and collect a happy little girl. We get plenty of updates, on when she sleeps and eats and lots of lovely pictures of the fun they get up to while in their care. It's been brilliant all round. We would highly recommend, the nursery and the team :)

Review from S F (Mother of Child) published on 20 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From the moment my daughter joined the nursery, she has been nurtured and supported in her early years development. My daughter started at 6 months old and I was very nervous with her being so young but I need not have been, due to the excellent care that my daughter received from day 1. She quickly built a strong relationship with her key worker and was able to form solid bonds with all of the staff, which put my mind at ease.

My daughter has developed beautifully in the time she has been at the nursery. We enjoy the homework we are given by the nursery and most recently, as a family, we have helped our daughter grow her own plant which was potted at the nursery. Seasonal events are always fun, such as the autumn and Christmas parties.

The nursery is very family orientated meaning that you truly get to know the staff looking after your child and the environment is extremely warm and welcoming. My daughter has flourished here and she has been given a great early years foundation.

Review from C C (Mother of Child) published on 28 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our child has been at the nursery since he turned one in September: the staff were absolutely brilliant with the onboarding process and mindful to his needs and preferences as they changed over time; they encouraged him to explore the various spaces in the nursery at his own pace, developing him into a confident little dude; and kept a mindful eye as his mobility increased. It's a shame the kids are only allowed to stay until they turn two, but we are grateful this first experience with childcare has been such a positive one!

Review from N H (Father of Child) published on 18 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Ever since our child joined the nursery they have gone from strength to strength in their social well-being, cognitive development and communication. The staff are really caring and knows all the names and needs of the children that attend. They regularly hold events that allow the children to showcase their work such as painting etc.
Management respond quickly to any questions you may have and are always checking in on how we as parents are doing as well which is a nice touch!
Our child is really happy at the nursery and really grateful for everyone being involved and hands on in these formative years of development.
The staff are experienced, well trained and have their qualifications and details displayed on the wall. Each child is provided with a key worker who works closely with the child and will regularly provide updates on the app on their progress.

Children have lots of opportunities to play and explore which is crucial for development at this stage.
