Overall Experience

My child got a great support and care from Immanuel Nursery. My child's speech has improved and he has more confident in expressing himself. There is so much improvement since he started attending Immanuel Nursery. Thanks to the management.

Reply from Theodora Adebanjo, Owner at Immanuels Day Nursery & Preschool
Thank you very much for the kind words.

Your son is a kind and gentle child who enjoys learning new things.

Review from R O (Mother of Child) published on 22 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I was so nervous about my 1 year old starting nursery here but right from the beginning, he absolutely loved it!

From the start, we've been impressed with the warm, supportive, and incredibly helpful staff who clearly care deeply about each child's well-being and development. The daily routine is well-structured yet flexible enough to allow children to explore and grow. The creative and messy play activities are also a huge hit, providing the perfect mix of fun and educational experiences.

Immanuel's Nursery is clearly guided by the EYFS framework, and it shows. The staff plan purposeful play opportunities that support children's learning and development across all areas. Since starting, my child has grown in confidence and has developed a love of learning. Would recommend to any parents!

Review from Guhan M (Father of Child) published on 12 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A special thanks to the teachers for their incredible support in nurturing our 3-year-old son. Within weeks at Emmanuels, he started expressing himself more, and in three months, he was speaking full sentences. As working parents, we always felt at ease knowing he was in safe hands. The Manager even stayed late at times until we arrived to pick him up, which we truly appreciated. Our son was always excited to go to nursery and loved his time there.

After joining Emmanuels, he became more independent, doing small tasks like putting on his shoes and jacket-things we didn't expect at his age. We also received valuable insights from the Manager on how to communicate with our child. Her advice helped us take the right steps at home, which significantly contributed to his development. We witnessed a remarkable transformation in him and truly appreciate the dedication and care of the entire team at Emmanuels!

Review from Keira L (Mother of Child) published on 29 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Immanuel's nursery had a very safe, homely feel, which made me feel comfortable sending my 2-year-old here. The staff are friendly, and understanding and really make the effort to communicate with you - I can tell that they have my daughter's best interest at heart. My daughter didn't take long to settle in and was happy with the drop-off and collection. In 2018, my first daughter attended and I'm pleased to know that this nursery is still highly commendable. I recommend this nursery to anyone who wants their child to feel encouraged and happy!

Review from Lara O (Mother of Child) published on 5 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son loves this nursery. He is eager to go to nursery always ready at the door with his coat.
I can tell he has a great relationship with the staff as he is always smiling when I come and pick him up and he interacts playfully with the staff as he leaves.
I love looking at his daily activities on the app and knowing the food he ate and when he sleeps and wakes up. It puts me at great ease.
My son's vocabulary has improved greatly and his interest in exploring more food textures has increased.

Fantastic staff and lovely nursery.

Overall Experience

I wanted to thank all the staff at Immanuels Day Nursery for looking after my child especially a child that had speech delay, you looked after my child, nurtured him, cared for him and took the worry and anxiety away from a worrying mother. The progress of my child has been amazing and that’s all thanks to the amazing staff there. The communication and working together between us has been amazing, thank you all. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery to any parent. Thank you Immanuels.

Reply from Theodora Adebanjo, Owner at Immanuels Day Nursery & Preschool
Thank you for your candid review. It can be quite challenging at times caring and nurturing for children in care. What makes it less challenging is when we have the full support and cooperation of parents.

Thank you once again for working and entrusting us with the care of your child.

Review from Sudha R (Mother of Child) published on 10 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My boy and girl twins have been attending the nursery from when they were a little over 2 years old. Right from the word go I knew this was a fantastic place. A place they would love. Very friendly staff, and environment. Their key workers knew every single detail about not just my kids but all the ones they were responsible for. We received daily updates on what the kids did. Detailed assessments every quarter. The staff were very keen to ensure the kids progressed well. My kids graduate out in a week and a big big part of who they are stems from all they have learnt at the nursery and I cannot thank the staff enough for this amazing support.

We had an amazing experience at Immanuels Day Nursery & Preschool. We sent our oldest there and as you can imagine being first-time parents we were nervous about him going to nursery, but our nerves went very quickly. The staff are amazing and friendly and we have seen our son grow so much from being there. Our son loves going to nursery. We have had such a good experience we plan to send our second child there when I return to work.

My son has attended Immanuels for over a year now and he loves his nursery friends and keyworkers.
He enjoys eating snacks and lunches that they prepare.

The garden is his favourite thing about nursery. He loves playing with the cars.

Reply from Theodora, Manager at Immanuels Day Nursery & Preschool
Great to know that the garden is one of the favourite things about nursery.

We have refurbished all our outdoor space over the last few months, and added a few more outdoor resources, which the children love!

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Immanuels for just over a year and is extremely happy. She gets excited about going to school and always has a smile on her face when I drop her off and when I collect her. The staff clearly know the children in their care well and quickly establish positive relationships with them. My daughter always speaks fondly of all of the staff. Since the new cook has started, the menu has been varied and healthy, and my daughter nearly always eats all that she is given and says that she really likes the food. I would definitely recommend the nursery to those looking for good value for money from a caring environment with happy children.

My son enjoys it here. A nice selection of activities to keep him stimulated. The only thing I will say is that it is quite expensive. Also quite a few changes to my son's key worker.

Review from Marta A (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Immanuels for the past six months since she was twelve months old. The staff are lovely, welcoming and seem to truly love their jobs and the children. They helped her settle in at the beginning by giving her her comforters and helped her to nap in the bouncer until she was ready to sleep on the mattresses like the other children and she loves it there. When my husband drops her off, she can't wait to go and play with her friends. They have a really nice food menu everyday and a very good offer of activities for the kids. Staff give us a daily report paper with information about what activities she did, what she ate and how much, her dirty nappies and the naps she has had. Sometimes staff also upload photos of her activities or observations about her progress on an app that only we parents can access. We couldn't be happier and would truly recommend Immanuels to any family that would like a home-like environment.

Overall Experience

Immanuels nursery is really nice. My daughter likes going there and the thing which really attracted me to send my girl there was that it was not overly crowded. I wanted a place where my kid can be heard and the rooms are not excessively full with teachers and kids running around. The nursery teaches good manners to the kids and every day informs you of the lunch they had. They just need to have some new outdoor toys and rides. I would recommend this nursery to the parents.
