Overall Experience

My daughter is so happy at Crafty Wizards New Eltham. She goes in every day smiling and has really grown into herself since being there. Couldn't recommend them enough. I wouldn't be able to mention one member of staff singularly as she loves them all!

Review from L N (Mother of Child) published on 19 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has thrived since starting at Crafty Wizards from being quiet and shy to a sociable and chatty child. The nursery offers a range of activities daily and has a large outdoor area which is great during the summer term. They share some photos of what your child gets up to on their social media parent page which is nice to see. They also have a parent portal for when staff have changed nappies and if your child has done a wee or poo.
My only complaint was the admin process of getting my child to start the nursery felt unnecessarily long. A lot of marketing emails were sent to me as well as forms to fill out for my child. This can be completed by paper forms or online but even when I did it online, management still insisted I fill out the paper form as well even though it was the same as the online form. I ended up calling the nursery a lot as they were not very good at replying to emails.

Now my child is at Crafty Wizards, my child is enjoying it there and I am a happy parent.

I have had nothing but a positive experience from day 1 with Crafty Wizards. The staff are all lovely and extremely helpful. My son has learnt so much since starting 5 months ago and has grown up so much.

My son loves it when we drive towards the nursery. He is always greeted with a big smile and he has a great relationship with all the staff at Crafty Wizards.
He comes home most days boasting about what he has done.

Review from Joy B (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have received exceptional service from the entire Crafty Wizards team. My son is on Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) and requires one-to-one support. A particular staff member has been the key person for my son and he absolutely loves her. The manager has been instrumental in getting the funding and support required to assist my son. She is proactive, supportive and dedicated. We are lucky to have chosen this certain for my son. It has made a lot of difference. My second son starts there in June 2024. We can’t wait.

My daughter has settled straight away and loves her mornings - playing and learning/exploring fun.
She enjoys going each day and likes the activity set outside, reading and learning through play.

Always comes home happy.

My son loves it here! The staff are friendly and are so knowledgeable about all of the children. They plan fun, engaging and creative activities that the children love.

5 sparkling stars all around! It is magic to hear that you enjoyed our recent parent stay and play. We are doing another push for parents and carers to come into preschool to share their hobbies, interests, professions, and cultures or just to read a few stories or sing some songs!

Absolutely wonderful.
My son is always happy to see the staff and I hear good things at home.
My favourite thing is the social media group with pictures of what he's getting up to throughout the day.
Nothing is too much trouble and communication is spot on.
Very friendly, warm and welcoming.

No faults whatsoever.

My son has been attending Crafty Wizards for four months and was very unsure at first but the staff did everything to make him feel comfortable (as well as me). I love how they change the toys every day and update photos on social media so I can show him what is out every day. The staff are so helpful and friendly and the regular feedback on my child's development is lovely. Would highly recommend.
