Review from Jade H (Mother of Child) published on 5 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our baby boy started at Queens Baby Nursery from 10 months old. I wasn't overly ready to be leaving him with new people but the staff were so great at making sure I felt confident and comfortable with lots of communication and updates throughout the day, which offered great reassurance in those first weeks. They made sure to know his routine and preferences and formed a connection with him really early on. My little boy adored all of the staff, and felt safe and loved by them all (not just his key workers). He thoroughly enjoyed his days at Queens Baby Nursery, full of fun activities, lots of singing and exploring outside. The staff put in so much effort each and every day and genuinely care for all of the babies. Seeing my boy so happy and content at the end of each day was an absolute dream. Thank you Debbie and the team, you're all amazing!

Dear Jade, thank you for your wonderful comments, it was our pleasure in supporting you as a first time Mum and also your son to have the best time while at nursery and supporting his independence.

Review from Matthew H (Father of Child) published on 4 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our youngest son has just completed his time at Queens Baby Nursery in Buckhurst Hill, 4 years after his older brother went there too. We went back to the same nursery as his older brother had had such a lovely time there and I'm pleased to say our youngest clearly loved his time there too. As a parent, dropping a young child off at nursery is pretty daunting, but after the first few settling in days, our son went in with a smile every morning and appeared with a smile on his face when picking him up. You can see the care and attention they get from all the staff there, which is lovely to see. They provide a great, balanced diet and daily updates on what they've been up to on an app that parents can then check. All in all, very highly recommended.

Reply from Debbie Selby, Manager at Queens Baby Nursery

Dear Matthew, thank you for your lovely review and it was a pleasure to have your two boys attend Queens Baby Nursery and watching them both grow and becoming so independent.

Overall Experience

We are so happy with Queens Baby Nursery. They have been incredible since day one. Our daughter has now been there for six months, and she is so happy and thriving.

Her development has really flourished thanks to the care, attention, and learning opportunities she receives every day. A big shout-out to Maddie, Zoe, Debbie, Peaches and the whole team for everything they do-they truly make a difference.

We would highly recommend Queens Baby Nursery to any new parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their little ones.

Review from Asa B (Mother of Child) published on 10 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From the first day, the whole team was brilliant in supporting us through the settling-in period and the transition into nursery for our son. He was so happy there, and the team really saw and catered to his individual needs, interests, and personality. We felt very content with him there, knowing the team was looking after him so well. We highly recommend Queen's Baby Nursery.

Reply from Debbie Selby, Manager at Queens Baby Nursery

Dear Asa Thank you for submitting your review. It is important to us that all children are treat individually and supporting their needs and important that through their settling period we support you as first time parents, asking all the questions that give us a greater understanding of what their likes and dislikes are and how to make their transitions as smooth as possible.

Overall Experience
Nothing to say but great words about our Queens Baby Nursery experience. The staff were amazing and supportive through every step of our journey with our child.
The app kept us informed about our child's activities during the day and loved the pictures and videos.
The staff were also super friendly and loved chatting through anything.

Ten out of ten, would have another kid just to send here again.

Reply from Debbie Selby, Manager at Queens Baby Nursery

Joe thank you for your lovely comments and knowing how happy you were with what we offer here at Queens Baby Nursery. It was a pleasure seeing your little one grow in confidence and ready to make the next move to Queens Nursery.

Overall Experience

As a new mum going back to work I found the whole process of finding the right one so stressful - however from the moment we took the tour I felt like i could breathe a bit!

All the staff I've met are so lovely, clearly genuinely care about the babies, and maintain great communication daily so we can see what they're up to throughout the day.

I can't recommend this nursery enough!!

Overall Experience

My daughter loved her time at the Queens baby nursery. She had developed a lovely bond with her carers and enjoyed all the specialist classes they offered. The carers were wonderful at keeping me updated on how she was getting on every day which really put my mind at ease. I will send my youngest daughter there when the time comes because I know she will get the loving care a baby needs.

Review from Hannah M (Mother of Child) published on 1 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We viewed several nurseries before we decided upon queens baby nursery but once we had we knew this one was for us.

We loved that it was a nursery just for younger ones. We did struggle with my daughter at first as she didn't want to be left but Debbie and team allowed us to have some extra settling in days to give us peace of mind. Zoe our key worker was brilliant with our daughter but all the team there do a fantastic job. Our daughter has now moved to queens nursery at the top of the road and has settled in very quickly. If you are thinking of using this nursery, you won't regret it.

Reply from Debbie Selby, Manager at Queens Baby Nursery

Thank you for your lovely comments Hannah. It was great to see how settled your daughter was and glad to hear she has settled will at Queens Nursery.

Review from Prinal R (Father of Child) published on 29 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
As parents of twins, we were very nervous about them starting nursery and leaving our babies into someone's care once my wife went back to work after maternity leave.
However what a wonderful experience we have had with Queens Baby nursery; since they started here.
The staff are amazing, the care and attention provided is outstanding and most definitley worthy of their Ofsted rating!
On every level, we have been very impressed with the team and our twins are now much more confident since starting here.

No hesitation to recommend this nursery for your precious babies!!

Overall Experience

An amazing nursery with the most wonderful, caring and friendly staff. My little boy absolutely loves going into the nursery and he settled in so quickly. I felt completely at ease from his very first day and know that he's being cared for like he's one of their own, which means the absolute world. His key worker, Ana goes above and beyond and we are so lucky to have her. The whole staff force are so friendly and genuinely care about all the children which is so lovely to see. Regular updates via the app, lots of opportunity for learning and a wonderful menu every week, I'm so happy our little boy goes here :)

The staff is what makes this place. So kind, caring and invested in the children's wellbeing and development. I sent my son here in 2022 and didn't hesitate for my daughter to follow in 2025. She is being looked after by the same staff - their enthusiasm and the level of care remains top notch.

Review from I S (Mother of Child) published on 12 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Queens baby nursery is certainly an outstanding nursery and deserves the outstanding rating by Ofsted. Our eldest child attended the baby nursery and our youngest is currently there. We absolutely love the care and attention provided by all members of staff, it is clear to see the consistency amongst each one of them. The manager is simply outstanding in herself, very supportive and caring, nothing is a problem. Our daughter loves being there, she 1.5, and in the mornings she is always excited to get through the doors. I don't think we can praise them enough.

Review from Stephanie T (Mother of Child) published on 12 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Absolutely amazing nursery. The staff are so lovely and caring, always happy to see you and your child. You get to know the staff really well and they stay the same, so lots of stability and low turnover. They also do extra activities like drama and yoga, and there's lots of weekly/daily themes like road safety to keep the kids engaged and learning. We also really enjoy that they take videos of the kids doing things like a dance party so you can see real life at the nursery, and that they put on parent stay and play events for you to come in and spend time at the nursery. Definitely recommend.
