Review from M M (Father of Child) published on 22 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child enjoys the nursery and settled well. Since she joined preschool i have seen an improvement in her writing and reading skills at home. They ran a father's day event which allowed me to see the full experience of the nursery which was a good addition.

Overall Experience

I am incredibly pleased with the progress my son, Eric, has made at this nursery. As a single parent, I truly appreciate the dedicated support and the nurturing environment provided by the staff. I have noticed significant positive changes in his communication and confidence, especially regarding his speech and language needs. We are sad to leave, but very grateful for everything they have done to prepare him for school. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent!

Reply from Gosia Nowocinska, Director at Twisty Tails Nursery (Colindale)

Thank you very much for your kind and heartfelt review. It has been an absolute pleasure to support Eric during his time at Twisty Tails Colindale Nursery. We are delighted to hear about the positive progress he has made and feel proud to have been part of his early learning journey. We wish Eric the very best of luck and every success as he begins this exciting new journey at school.

Review from Vivien K (Mother of Child) published on 11 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We've known the nursery for nearly seven years, as both our daughters have attended, and now it's just our youngest. Over the past year, under new management, it has changed in a very positive way.
The teachers are lovely, friendly, and informative. Everything feels well organised and runs smoothly. The app is very helpful, providing daily updates on activities, meals, sleep, and nappy changes.
We're very pleased to see how happy and content our daughter is, and she is developing really well.

The only area for improvement might be a general refurbishment of the premises, as other locations appear more modern. Overall, we are very satisfied with our experience.

Review from Tiana W (Mother of Child) published on 1 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending this nursery since early 2024. She has learned and picked up so much in this time. Her keyworker is great and is always giving me updates on her progress, she really helped my daughter settle in when she was having a rough time to the adjustment of starting nursery.
The manager responds to my many emails and questions promptly and is always ready to help.

All staff members I have come across are polite and friendly and always greet my daughter by name when I'm dropping her off.

We was recently invited into the nursery for a mothers day activity and it was a lovely to see the children interacting with eachother and the staff. My daughter loved showing me all around the garden where she plays regularly.

Overall this nursery suits my needs and the needs of my daughter, and I am happy with my decision.

So happy with Twisty Tails Nursery, my 1 year old has been attending for a few months and when she first started she could hardly say any words , she would cry at drop off and when picked up.. following to now she says so many words can copy other people and no longer cries at drop off , puts her arms out for the member of staff. Cannot thank the manager enough , communication from the get go has been amazing any questions i have i receive same day response!

Thank you all :)

Overall Experience

My son has been going to Twisty Tails since he was two and is now starting school. I am very happy with the experience and have trust in the staff. My son had presenting problems and the staff were able to help him and supported him very well. He has always come home telling me he has had a good day and enjoyed playing with his friends. There is one staff member that he absolutely adored and she did help him with a lot. They are very good with communication and if you have any issues they sort it out professionally. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Review from K N (Mother of Child) published on 25 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Unfortunately, we had a bad experience at Twisty Tails. Our son attended Colindale from Jan to Apr 2022.
The tech/app they use is very basic and does not provide much info at all on what our son was doing throughout the day.
We had to complain multiple times about his nappy not being changed enough (lots of times he was in the same nappy for over 4 hours). The Area Manager said 4 hours was standard at TT.
The final straw was when our son had an accident at nursery and then had a seizure the next day. He had a brain scan which luckily came back clear. We made a Subject Access Request to view the CCTV of the accident. The first SAR was ignored, and the 2nd was refused due to a lack of technology to blur out faces (that is not how you reply to a SAR).

There's not enough space to write a detailed review here. As a parent, if someone else experienced what we've been through at this nursery I would want to know.

All your comments were investigated, as per the review provided by your partner on a different platform on 6th May 2022, and relevant actions were put in place.

Overall Experience

My son has been going to Twisty Tails Nursery in Colindale since he was 10 months old. He is in his final few months until he goes to big school. He seems really happy at nursery and is very keen to go in. He has come on leaps and bounds the past few months, spelling his name, phonics and his toileting has come a long way. So a big thank you to the manager and her amazing team!

Review from Ramona C (Mother of Child) published on 16 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am very happy with the care the staff from Twisty Tails Nursery - Colindale gave to my boy. He started at a very young age at ten months, in the baby room and he received the attention and love he needed to settle well. He was always happy to go in and he felt at home there. When he turned two he moved in toddlers room, where he seems to be as happy as upstairs. The staff are always smiling, welcoming and happy to help. The nursery has a “home away from home “ feeling which is much needed at such young age.

Review from Q L (Mother of Child) published on 30 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter is really happy at Twisty Tails Nursery - Colindale - the nursery routine helps her get better eating and sleeping pattern. I am pleased with the care she received. The staff are excellent, very caring and always have smiles on their faces. Each month they have a planned theme for the babies'/kids' activities, and I can see my daughter learned a lot during role-play, garden play, painting, baking and so on. We get feedback each day via the app to know the daily life of my daughter at the nursery and received many pictures and comments weekly. And they always listen and help when I have any concerns. I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

Thank you so much for your feedback, she has settled really well, especially with her key person, but she is thriving and exploring and enjoys playing alongside her peers.

Happy a lot with this nursery. My son finished 2 years ago, and my daughter still goes there. The staff are very careful with children, and it is a pleasure to know that she is happy when she is in. Activities are great, as my daughter all the time said she had fun when they are doing something. Thank you, Twisty Tails-Colindale, for your support.

Review from Nicoleta A (Mother of Child) published on 18 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son attended this nursery in the baby room and in the over 2-year-olds room and he enjoyed being in both areas. We benefited from a long and flexible settling period, which helped my son get used to the new environment. He loved the nursery team and being with the children. The nursery team are always reassuring to the children and parents and kept me well informed of his progress and daily activities. He has come a long way in terms of learning, communication, and independence. I highly recommend Twisty Tails.

Review from Trupti (Mother of Child) published on 19 March 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Staff are very helpful and friendly. Good location. Care towards my son from all staff is excellent. My son has started expressing/pointing to an object that he needs or what he wants to say since he joined Twisty Tail Nursery. Activities played in nursery are quite good. Information from Tapestry helps us to know what my child development is and how we can work on it at home to encourage him. as a parent, I am happy to see my son getting engaged with good teachers and his peers.
