I can honestly say I was worried about moving my little girl from another nursery but I honestly shouldn't have. The staff are amazing and so professional. I have no worries at all that my daughter is being looked after.
The manager has just been great, and I also love that she gets so involved with
the children and not just in the office. My daughter has really bonded with her and her key worker.
Amazing nursery!!

Fledgelings is Brilliant! The staff really care, they are very attentive, and do all that they can and more to make the children feel supported, and ensuring their growth. Our little one has so much more confidence since starting, along with an improvement in his fine motor skills, language and has
really come out of his shell. He always comes home happy, letting us know how much fun he had each day. We love the app that keeps us updated throughout the day as well. I would highly recommend this nursery and the staff!

My husband and I would highly recommend Fledgelings-Hornchurch.
The staff are warm, loving and truly care for the children.
We have been blown away by how far our child has developed over the years she has attended the nursery. My daughter absolutely loves all staff members and looks forward to
going in to see everyone.


The atmosphere is happy and engaging, and the staff are always doing activities with the children based on different topics.


I've been consistently impressed by the nursery's communication from the management team and also the staff always send regular updates of the children's daily activities.


I am so pleased we chose Fledgelings in Hornchurch for our Daughter to attend and look forward to our youngest daughter to start here very soon.


I would like to add sending my daughter to nursery was very difficult for me at the start but the team made it such a great experience for both myself and daughter.
Thank you all for your ongoing support and everything you do

I can't give this nursery anymore praise. The staff are exceptional always keeping us informed of how our children's day went and making sure they're well looked after. Leaving our children here two days a week has helped them progress and and we know they are kept safe.

We couldn't be happier with Fledgelings! The staff are caring, attentive, and truly go above and beyond to make our son feel safe, supported, and happy. He's grown so much in confidence and development since starting. The activities are fun and educational, and the team clearly values each child's unique
needs. Communication is excellent, and we always feel involved. We're so grateful to have found such a lovely nursery!

Our daughter has been attending this nursery almost a year now, and she has flourished and thrived. We are so impressed with the caring nature of the staff, who remember us and take time to ask about our family, even getting our daughter involved in the arrival of her new sister. The nursery is kept
clean and the menu is prepared freshly on site, using low sugar and healthy and nutritious options, and on a 3 week rotation which keeps it interesting. We are so happy here that our second child will also be attending later this year. Thank you to everyone in Robins room and the management!

I cannot speak highly enough about Fledglings Nursery. My child attends the nursery and has from a young age, and as a premature baby, his nursery care was something very important to me. Fledglings have been there every step of the way to support their care and development. This includes putting in
place detailed care plans for any medical needs and also reassuring me of their development alongside children their age. They balance educational development really well with emotional development and make sure the children have engaging activities plus being able to be children and enjoy play. If we choose to have another child I would definitely enroll them here as well.

Fledglings Early Learning Center is a wonderful choice for young children, offering a safe and nurturing environment. The facilities are clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with interactive classrooms and a fun outdoor play area. The staff are exceptional, showing genuine care and attentiveness to
each child, fostering both learning and emotional growth.


The play-based curriculum strikes a great balance between structured learning and free play, encouraging creativity and foundational skills in language, math, and social development. Safety is a top priority, with secure entry, child-proofed areas, and well-trained staff.


Communication with parents is strong, with daily updates via a parent app and regular progress reports. Meals provided are nutritious, though more organic options would be a welcome addition. While a bit pricier, Fledglings offers excellent value for the level of care, making it a highly recommended nursery.

We have nothing but positive things to say about this nursery. Our son started with Fledgelings in February 2021 starting in the baby room, and most recently graduating from the preschool room. As parents raising a child with additional needs, we have always felt fully supported and the staff have been

We have always been very pleased with Fledgling’s nursery, having had two children attend from 2021 - present day. The staff are kind, compassionate and welcome the kids in with a smile every morning. Both of our children have always found the atmosphere friendly, safe and entertaining. There is always
a range of educational activities and thoughtfully prepared food on offer. The key workers we’ve had over the years have been brilliant. I would continue to recommend Fledgling’s Hornchurch to friends.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our child is happy to attend. Never crying at drop off or pickup. They have an app to help keep tabs on nappy changes and food/water intake which is great as it helps gauge if they need a top up meal at home to ensure calorie intake is maintained and ensure nutrition isn't affected by the fact our child
isn't at home.
They share pictures or videos of our child gets up to and a report on development which is great.
Could be better in comparison to other nursery we used in the past with regards to activities and visits, which they said they will be addressing so I like the fact that they run an anonymous survey to help improve service provided which is a good sign.
We know our child is in a safe and friendly environment which is the main reason we joined Fledgelings.
They have a good size garden with water/sand exposure which is good for development and a change from drawing for example.

Our daughter has been at Fledgelings for the last 3 months. She has settled in very well and has progressed so much in relation to all aspects of learning. This is all down to the attentive staff who like us as parents want to see the children flourish. Every evening, during pick-up, we get a detailed
update on what has happened during the day. For our daughter who has only just turned 1, we are so pleased with her progress and would highly recommend Fledgelings.

Since starting my 9-month-old at the Hornchurch branch back in September, I cannot explain how pleased we are with how it is going. My little one absolutely loves going there and has learnt so many new skills in the short time he has been there. I get regular updates via the app regarding what meals
my son has had, his sleep schedule etc. The staff are beyond incredible and I get such comfort knowing that my son is being cared for by such wonderful staff (particular shout out to the ladies in the Robin Room) for looking after my baby. I could not recommend Fledgelings Hornchurch enough!

Very caring and pleasant staff. There are a bit too many rules but I guess that's to meet the standards. Don't take kids out for walks much, upon asking they always say we are short on staff. Also, the kids come out of the nursery very untidy with their hands and faces dirty as if they were just left
on their own. The rest is very good.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.847)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.847) out of 10 for Fledgelings Day Nursery (Hornchurch) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.847 for Fledgelings Day Nursery (Hornchurch) is calculated as follows: ( (165 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 189 Ratings = 4.847
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Fledgelings Day Nursery (Hornchurch) is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 64 number of registered child places is 12.8, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
