Review from Haya (Mother of Child) published on 13 December 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My 14 month old baby started going to Valentine’s nursery a little over a month ago and by now I feel happy and confident leaving him there. All the members of the staff worked very hard helping him settle. They also are very sensitive to each child’s personality which is something every parent wants when they are away from their child. I would highly recommend Valentine’s nursery to all those looking for a friendly environment where the child can learn easily.

Review from Pritpal D (Mother of Child) published on 25 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I would highly recommend Valentines Nursery. All three of my children have been very fortunate to be in a friendly environment where safety and security are paramount. Individual care is given to each child and needs are catered for. My boys were always eager to go time and time again. The friendly, personal service and care for the kids is evident. The environment is well thought through and children are always offered the best activities to develop key skills that I have not been able to do at home. I always questioned the staff who consistently were helpful and were always adapting to the needs of my children and giving and excellent service.

Review from A M (Father of Child) published on 11 September 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The Valentines Nursery has been really welcoming for our child and she has adjusted soon and well with the caretakers. She has been playing and learning a lot since she's started going and now she looks forward to going there.
It has been only a few months but we already like it as parents, that our child has settled well and is taken care of while we are away.
A big thumbs up to the whole team.

Would recommend to anyone looking for a nursery in this area.

Review from Gary M (Father of Child) published on 21 June 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

It's comforting for us as parents to not only see that our daughter is growing and learning at this nursery but that she is genuinely keen to go there every day. She really enjoys her time there. Staff take excellent care of her and keep us informed of everything we might want to know about. Really pleased we found this nursery - and not surprised it gained an Ofsted 'Outstanding' rating....!

Overall Experience

I have had 3 children attend Valentines Nursery and my son is currently there.

The nursery has always provided excellent care and the staff are brilliant and they aim to work with each child to develop their strengths.

I would definitely recommend Valentines Nursery as it's been a second home to my children.

Review from Kelly (Mother of Child) published on 19 April 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I chose Valentines Nursery, originally back in 2010, for childcare for my first born. I visited several nurseries, and, Valentines was one of the few where the atmosphere was calm, the children respected and the environment enabling. Despite the Nursery adding an additional hour travel time a day, I have continued to use them for childcare of two subsequent children. The knowledge that my children are safe and nurtured is invaluable. The core leadership and staff have been consistent over the last 7 years and all new staff employed have shown the same level of commitment and care. The EYFS framework is fully understood and the developmental needs of the children are catered for. There is also an effort to engage parents in their child's time at nursery, e g. the daily communication books, open events and parents evenings. The only downside at the nursery is the smaller than average outdoor area. However, this is fully utilised as well as the nearby Valentines park.

Review from Rupesh P (Father of Child) published on 13 April 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I highly recommend this nursery! My first daughter attended Valentines Nursery from 2012 to 2014, where she then moved on to Reception Year at primary school. My family moved away from the local Ilford area in 2013. However, we continued to send our first daughter to Valentines Nursery, as the support and development that this nursery provided was second to none. I have such continued confidence in this nursery that I enrolled my second daughter here in 2015. Since enrolment, my second daughter has developed extremely well. I fully intend to keep my second daughter at Valentines Nursery until 2018, as the nursery’s proven track record will ensure that she is fully prepared for life in Reception Year at primary school.

Review from Nirala B (Mother of Child) published on 12 April 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been there since he was 6 months and I cannot think of better people to care for him.
I have never had to worry that any of the girls will fail him in his needs or that he would not get the attention he needs.
My son will be moving to another nursery soon and I am actually going to miss the security I felt with having my son there.
Girls are all wonderful with no exceptions!
Word to the manager, she is very professional and able and has sole interest of the children and she cares about her staff.

There is not s high turnover and that speaks volumes.

Reply from Ruby Patel, Manager at Valentines Nursery

Thank you for your kind comments. We are sad that due to you moving to a new area, your son will have to move to another setting but we have enjoyed being a valuable part of his earliest years. Best Wishes - Valentines Nursery

I am from India and for past 2 years I stayed in London and sent my daughter to Valentines Nursery. In a few days, I can see gradual growth in my daughter's activities and vocabularies which was tremendous. The key persons and staffs are very friendly. I highly recommend Valentines Nursery Ilford.

Overall Experience

From the moment I went to look around the nursery, I knew it was the right place for my child to attend. I had lots of questions and they were answered without any hesitation. The environment is lovely and homely. The staff are amazing and really take the time to get to know your children and work with them to really help them to shine and turn into amazing little people. They have done amazing work with my little one and for that, I am very thankful. Thank you Valentines Nursery.

Review from Nev V (Father of Child) published on 12 April 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Valentines nursery has been absolutely outstanding in providing day care nursery services to both my children during the last 3 years.

It is a safe, warm, professional place where children can grow and develop a wide range of skills nurtured by highly skilled staff.

I am really happy with their service and I would highly recommend it to any parents who would like the best for their children.

Its recent outstanding Ofsted report simply confirmed what I already knew about this fantastic place.

Well done Valentines Nursery!

Review from Sadia P (Mother of Child) published on 4 April 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Valentines Nursery since she was 14 months old, she was a shy and a reserved little girl and has grown up to be a confident and mature little madam. The staff show great interest and affection when we arrive each morning, this helps me to feel secure about my child’s welfare and that I am leaving her in their capable hands. They have given her the very best possible start and prepared her brilliantly for her transition to primary school.

I have been delighted with the care and education my daughter receives and it will be sad to say goodbye this year.

A real little gem of a place, right on our doorstep. Thank you to everyone and keep doing what you are doing!

Thank You Valentines Nursery for helping her grow.
