My son started back in September 2017.
Before he stated at Crafty Wizards he was only left with family members and within 2-3 weeks he was settled.
My son always comes home singing all the songs that he has learnt from nursery and tells me about his day and asks me, "can I go back, please"?
They have the most wonderful teachers my son could ask for he is always talking about them.
Thank you to everyone at Crafty Wizards.
Settling in can be an anxious time for both child and parent, it's lovely to hear that you think he is now confident and enjoying his time at Crafty Wizards. Has he been singing and signing 'What's in the hat?', we can help you with the signs if you like, just ask a member of staff. FUN is the F in...
Crafty Wizards is an outstanding nursery. My son started in September 2017 and had only ever been left with family before attending this nursery. Within 2 weeks he was asking to go to nursery, running in smiling and was so excited to tell me what he had done that morning. The staff are absolutely amazing always put my mind at ease when he was upset. They care for the children like their own and go above and beyond to help them settle in no time.
They offer a huge range of activities each day, he loves all the songs they sing on the carpet, he is always singing them at home, couldn't ask for a better setting for my son!!! Thank you for everything you do!!!
The Facebook page is amazing can see throughout the morning what they are up to and the Wizards quill they fill in each day helps to keep us up to date with what my son has done amazingly that day!!!! Thank you once again, Crafty Wizards!!!!!
Excellent in all areas! We really do understand how it can be difficult to leave your child with someone else for the first time. Thank you for putting your trust in Crafty Wizards Pre-School. We think it important to offer professional development for our staff throughout the year and it's great...
In the past, I had a very bad experience with a nursery but Crafty Wizards Pre-School has shown me I can trust in childcare professionals to look after my child whilst I'm at work. They are always doing fun alternate things with my son, and he loves going there, although at first, he found the separation hard, they comforted him and made him feel welcome. Couldn't ask for better.
Thank you for your magical review. We work hard to provide opportunities for fun, creativity and learning with support, challenge and care. We have recently had a staff meeting where we focused on enlivening story-telling, outdoor play, circle time and planning to our unique 'Crafty Wizards'. Look out for our Book Week next term! Thank you for taking the time in writing this review.
So lovely and reassuring, as a parent, to know that he is comforted, trusts and thoroughly enjoys his time at Crafty Wizards.
He's learnt such a lot speech wise, socially and musically. Couldn't ask for anything else.
I have had experience with other nurseries and they don't even come close to how exceptional Crafty Wizards is.
Their parent/key worker communication is fantastic.
They provide so much information on what they are doing whether it's through letters, their private facebook group or conversation.
All of the staff members are so friendly and approachable.
It's obvious they genuinely care for the children.
My daughter is very happy there and doing so well.
I couldn't ask for anything more.
Crafty Wizards Pre-School is an exceptional preschool that has cared, nurtured, supported and educated both of my children for many years. I feel extremely grateful to the wonderful staff and support workers for the care and attention they have provided to my children. They go above and beyond to ensure the children are happy and healthy. My eldest son has benefitted considerably from attending this pre-school both in terms of his social interaction/social awareness and his academic ability. My youngest son continues to attend the pre-school and is a very happy, sociable and independent little boy which is in large thanks to the team at Crafty Wizards. My son loves it at his 'school' and is always happy to go. He runs in with a smile on his face before I have even had a chance to put his coat away which to me, says it all!
Thank you for your spell-binding comments! We are all proud to have cared for both your children at Crafty Wizards. It has been a pleasure to see them grow and progress. We do focus on early communication as a T.I.C (Together In Communication) lead setting for Royal Greenwich. We are looking...
My second child is currently attending Crafty Wizards and is progressing just as well as the first.
The varied activities and the combination of play and learning provide a really solid basis for progression to primary school.
I have no reservation in recommending this nursery to others.
Excellent in all areas! Thank you for your review. It is great to hear that you feel that your Crafty Wizards have progressed well. We work hard with assessing our children's needs and setting targets, personalised planning and learning opportunities. Our new Wonderous Wizardry sheets highlight...
My son has recently started at Crafty Wizards. We really agonised over where to send him. In the end, he made the choice as he loved it from the moment he walked in. He hasn't looked back! I am delighted to have found somewhere that is genuinely nurturing and committed to the children all learning in a safe, fun, creative, inclusive space. The staff have made the first few weeks, the first time he has been away from me, really easy and I look forward to next term.
Thank you for your warm words, it is great to hear that your Crafty Wizard settled in well. If you need any support after the holidays let us know and we can send you another social story, set up a transitional object and put out some of his favourite toys. Thank you again for taking the time to write this positive review for Crafty Wizards Pre-School.
This is a wonderful learning place for my son and I really am happy with all the facilities and learning and care which my son gets there. Since my son has previously attended various other learning centres I can judge Crafty Wizards to be one amongst the best with a focus on overall learning of a child. The attention to detail on each child is brilliant.
Excellent, thank you for your review! At Crafty Wizards Pre-School we aim to provide personalised learning opportunities through creative play. We are a prestigious Early Years Quality Mark Award holder and work hard to provide challenge and support for our Crafty Wizards in a fun and caring...
He has learnt so much here and thoroughly enjoys nursery both indoor and outdoor activities.
I would highly recommend this nursery, the staff are fantastic and there is a wide range of activities for the children to do, you can tell a lot of thought goes into this to make sure the children enjoy their time there.
Excellent! Thank you for your magical feedback for Crafty Wizards Pre-School, New Eltham. We have a number of strategies to help make settling in as smooth as possible. Ask a member of staff about our new C-R-A-F-T-Y ethos which values parent partnerships amongst other things. Activities and...

My three year old has been attending here 4 days a week for 4 months. Wonderful preschool with amazing staff. Fantastic communication between nursery and home and my little boy is thriving here. Wish I'd found it sooner, I can't recommend it highly enough.
Excellent in all areas! It's magic to hear how happy you both feel at Crafty Wizards Pre-School. Management work had to offer a range of ways to communicate and promote good communication with staff. Have you tried our Parent Zone app yet? Also, our Stay and Play session is coming up this half term...
Since my daughter has been at Crafty Wizards she has come along so well with her talking etc and every time I pick her up she loves telling me what she has done ie painting, water garden, drawing, playing with babies and circle time. I'm so glad that I put her In Crafty Wizards when I did, thank you all so much I really am proud.
Excellent all round! Thank you very much for your review. The team will be happy that your daughter continues to enjoy our range of inspiring activities. We do work closely with outside agencies and use BSL (British Sign Language Cards) to support early communication at activities along with Small...
All the staff are fantastic there and helped us immensely with his development and gave us tips and exercises to do at home so that we were consistent with them on our approach. We felt confident that he was in the right place from the very start.
His younger brother sometimes comes along when we collect our Son from Crafty Wizards and he wants to join in the fun too, we think he'll also take no time in adjusting when it's time for him to join as the staff are so attentive and caring to the individual child's needs.
Thank you for your kind words. We are glad that our tips and activities for the home have helped in the continued progress that your son makes. It is great to hear that your younger son is enthused by our activities also. Please let us know how we can get an 'excellent' from you with regards to...
My son has grown in confidence since joining Crafty Wizards. He has learnt so many things I thought he had no idea of. The staff are excellent at listening to the needs of each child.
My son has been helped with learning colours so quickly, in a matter of weeks! He was also very well supported during potty training.
The standard of learning is very good as well as arranging excellent activities for the children.
Thank you for your review. Our staff do try hard to offer personalised learning opportunities and to build strong attachments with our Crafty Wizards. Our daily routine which includes Magic Circle Time promotes this relationship. Thank you for your 'Excellent' for activities and learning, it is due...
My daughter absolutely loves Crafty Wizards and rushes through the door in the morning! Have seen a massive improvement in how she engages with other children. The staff are excellent and cater for her needs.Our second child to attend Crafty Wizards, would thoroughly recommend to anyone.
Thank you enormously for your feedback. It is lovely t hear that you have seen a massive improvement in your daughter's social skills.

Brilliant at letting my daughter excel to her full level by moving her up to groups with older children which I think is amazing. They allow the children to focus on different aspects of learning through phonics, show and tell time, group activities. My daughter would go every day if she could, there are always a number of activities to get involved with each day that helps excel the senses.
Thank you for your sparkling review! We are very happy to hear that your daughter enjoys the activities that we provide. We aim to provide personalised learning opportunities through our observations, assessments and daily planning. Our Book Week is coming up next half term and every term we now...
My daughter absolutely loves Crafty Wizards. She's 2 years old and settled in very well after one session, always asking to go back again. The staff keep you in the loop and are always very helpful. Would definitely recommend.

I feel the staff are very approachable and clearly enjoy their jobs and working with the children. Three of my grandchildren have attended Crafty Wizards and having worked in childcare all my life I would happily recommend the nursery.
