Review from Lisa D (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending Crafty Wizards since September 2016.

Since joining he has completely excelled in his speech, listening skills and his confidence in independent tasks. I can't praise Crafty Wizards enough, as they are extremely hard working, caring and attentive to your child's needs. From day one they made my son feel like he was in his second home as he settled straight away and absolutely loves every minute he is here. The Manager and her team should feel very proud as they do such a fantastic job and I couldn't be happier knowing my son is in safe hands!

We are pleased with our son's progress since he started Crafty Wizards. Lovely staff, great learning environment. A place very children can thrive. Shame there is no primary school attached to this. The school takes the safety of pupils very highly. Great going!!

Reply from Matthew, Director at Crafty Wizards Nursery - New Eltham

Thank you for your positive comments. We do take safety seriously and constantly review our policies and practices. We now do lock-down drills as well as a fire drill. We even have risk assessment checklists for our children to have a go at completing so that they begin to have an awareness of...

Overall Experience

My second child is currently attending Crafty Wizards. I can honestly say they are fantastic and my two year old has settled in so well. She loves the craft activities and has made a huge variety of things, no two days are the same. The staff are incredibly supportive, understanding, creative and are brilliant with the children. We have been kept well informed through chats, paperwork, a 'formal' catch up, what's our daughter does during her time at the nursery and how she is performing etc. My two year wants to go every day and counts down the days until she returns. I have no hesitation in recommending the nursery at every opportunity.

Overall Experience

We have had two children attend Crafty wizards and will be sending our third there as well. All of the staff are excellent and they really care about the work they are doing with the children, not only to play but also helping them learn in a fun environment.

Can't speak highly enough of the Crafty Wizards team.

Reply from Matthew, Director at Crafty Wizards Nursery - New Eltham

Excellent in all areas, magic! Thank you for your review. We do aim to make 'Learning Magical Through Creativity'. Thank you for continuing to send your children to Crafty Wizards Pre-School. We want to continue to offer more to our children and families, please do speak to management if you have any ideas. Thanks again.

As a first time mummy, I was extremely nervous about sending my son to nursery, he has now been there for the past month and the staff have been outstanding at settling in my very clingy little boy. Fantastic job the staff are doing!

Reply from Matthew, Director at Crafty Wizards Nursery - New Eltham

Excellent all round - Spellbinding! It is great to hear that as a first time anxious mum that you have been put at ease with leaving your child. We work hard during the settling in process with a social story, transition object, photos on facebook closed group etc. Every term we have a Stay and...

Dedicated staff provide a great setting for my children to learn and it prepared my eldest for Reception. They encourage reading, and drawing, exploring the environment, they do Phonics with the children, role play and more. My son loved it, my daughter loves it, and my youngest can't wait to join.

Review from Amy L (Mother of Child) published on 28 November 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot recommend Crafty Wizards enough. My daughter attended from age 2 to 4 years and she loved every minute she was there. The key workers are fantastic and extremely committed to crafty wizards and the education of the children. The activities are fun but also educational. My daughter started primary school in September 2016 and she is confident in her written and oral communication, which is down to the dedicated work of crafty wizards. I am so happy that I always recommend them to friends and have already registered my one-year-old to attend once he is old enough, as I wouldn't consider sending him anywhere else

Reply from Matthew Byrne, Director at Crafty Wizards Nursery - New Eltham

This is very heart warming to hear. We strive to offer the best for our Crafty Wizards and to hear that they go on to primary school with increased confidence, progress well and are happy makes all the hard work worthwhile. We hope that you can come down to the Winter Wonderland event on December...

Review from Grace L (Mother of Child) published on 31 October 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We could not have been happier with our experience at Crafty Wizards. The whole team and setting was perfect for our little girl. Lots of free, crafty play but also lots of structure. Our little girl started primary school in September and I have no doubt that Crafty Wizards played a key role in how she's settled in there. She's doing amazingly well so far and her teachers are really impressed with all she knows already, much of this is all down to Crafty Wizards. So thank you Crafty Wizards team.

Reply from Matthew Byrne, Director at Crafty Wizards Nursery - New Eltham

It's magical to hear that your daughter is getting on well at Primary School. We hope that the glitter of confidence and magic wand from the Graduation helped her! Thank you for your lovely comments. Please feel free to join us or our Winter Wonderland this year and if you have not joined our past...

Crafty Wizards was recommended by a friend. I am so glad I took her advice. It is a fantastic environment for the children and all the staff are great. My child took to all the staff not just his key workers. I have recommended Crafty Wizards to a number of other parents.

Reply from Matthew Byrne, Director at Crafty Wizards Nursery - New Eltham

Overall Experience

Our son has attended Crafty Wizards since January 2014 aged 2, he is now approaching age 4 and has learnt so much from attending. Staff are continuously supportive to both our son and us as parents; we receive daily feedback about what he's learning and feeling etc. We have already said we'd send our daughter when she reaches 2.

Reply from Matthew Byrne, Director at Crafty Wizards Nursery - New Eltham

Thank you so much for your review. It is always good to get feedback. We are bringing out a new 'Wondrous Wizardry' sheet for your Crafty Wizards Magical Moments folder where you will have a clear log of the next steps for each term and information on any intervention groups that our Crafty Wizards...

Review from S B (Mother of Child) published on 21 March 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son had previously attended another nursery in the area and had not settled well there. When my son started in September 2015, I let his Key Person know of the difficulties in the last nursery and all the staff really helped my son settle into Crafty Wizards. It was a huge relief for us that within 2 sessions, he was keen to attend and left with huge smiles on his face. The Key Person really takes time to know what your child likes and give you a report at the end of the day as to what my son has enjoyed or found challenging. We also enjoy the facebook updates/pictures so we can discuss with him what he has done at school today.

My son has really been supported at the school and has really made progress in developing his confidence and speech. We agree with the other viewers that the staff are really welcoming and enthusiastic as you can see on all the children's faces just how happy they are to be there.

We would definitely recommend this school to others.

Reply from Matthew, Director at Crafty Wizards Nursery - New Eltham

Thank you very much for taking the time to write this review. We will make sure that all our staff hear your kind words. We hope that we will see you at our Easter Eggstravaganza or enjoy our allotment visits next term and our Reptile day!

This is a very friendly environment where my child is happy and relaxed. He enjoys the many arts and crafts and has learnt good social skills. I can't recommend this pre-school highly enough.

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. It is good to hear that we are nearly excellent in all the areas in your opinion.

Small, personal touch and very friendly staff. I love the Facebook updates and photographs; the activities always look well planned and focused on learning. My children are always happy to go. It's hard to take them away! Excellent communication and excellent setting with amazing outside area; with Forest School status. Would 100% recommend.

Reply from Matthew Byrne, Director at Crafty Wizards Nursery - New Eltham

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are all happy with how well our Forest School sessions have been received. We have also been bringing the outside in with lots of mud and natural resource activities. We look forward to introducing more initiatives as we continue to expand.

Review from Sabrina C (Mother of Child) published on 1 February 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I am actually shocked at how far my twins have come on since starting in September 2015 in the preschool. The difference in their home playing and social skills have improved by so much that I am wondering where my little girls have gone. I cannot wait to see the progress I know they are going to achieve in the coming year. The staff are amazing. They put so much time and effort into each child and treat them as their own. I'm so proud to say my two are in Crafty Wizards.

Reply from Matthew Byrne, Director at Crafty Wizards Nursery - New Eltham

Thank you for your review, it sounds that you are 'shocked' in a good way about the progress you have seen. Our new Parent Portal should keep you update on their observations and progress.We look forward to another term shortly where we will be welcoming African snails and will have our Easter Egg-stravaganza.
