Loving and caring staff which is always on display. My daughter loves going in and really enjoys herself. The updates from staff are brilliant too, which makes me feel more included in what my child is doing on any given day.
Turtles is extraordinary. My kids are always happy to go, the staff is always careful, attentive and kind to both the kids and parents. They are so good at what they do... We are very lucky that our kids go there. We had the opportunity to move our eldest to a school nursery and decided not to despite the obvious financial advantages that would bring. World class.
Honestly we couldn't ask for more. The nursery feels like home away from home. Our kid loves going there. They have an arrange of activities organised each day and the meals are really homie too. The staff is amazing and really love what they do. We couldn't ask for more really.
My son has attending Turtles for 3 years, since he was 8 months old. He loves the setting, and adores the staff! The opportunities that they provide to support his development are always the best! He has been supported through all milestones so greatly by the whole team! The management of the setting is fantastic, always going above and beyond to create new ideas and bring to life parents suggestions. We love Turtles and would be our first recommendation to any families looking for childcare in the area!
My daughter joined Turtles a year ago aged 10 months. She loves going to nursery and we have been delighted with Turtles. The staff are all great - the place clearly has a lovely culture and we have a high level of trust in the staff. They do lots of different activities with the children, including guests who come in to run sports and theatre sessions. They also go on lots of little trips in the local area. Communication is really good - both via the app and through conversations at pick up and drop off. My daughter recently had a bit of a tricky period emotionally following some illnesses, and they were fabulous in supporting her (and us!) through it.
I cannot speak more highly of Turtles! My daughter started attending in November 2020 and from that moment, her speech, confidence and social skills grew drastically. The staff are extremely committed to the children, and the nurseries flexibility and excellent communication make a brilliant partnership with the parents and the nursery. My daughter's key worker has gone above and beyond to look after, encourage and teach her. If you are thinking about putting your child into Turtles care, you shouldn’t think twice. The location is fantastic, and the hours are so helpful for working parents. Thank you, Turtles!
Thank you so much for your lovely testimonial. We really appreciate all the feedback we receive at Turtles Nursery.
The staff are very friendly, engaging and accommodating.
I would highly recommend the nursery, in my opinion.
Thank you for such a lovely review. We are so pleased you love our ethos as we try our best to focus on your Child's needs and interests. We love working in partnership with parents and find the online platform helps each and every staff member have contact with the parents.
My daughter loves it here and will miss everyone when it’s time for big school, saying that the staff are doing well in preparing her to start in September. Thanks, Turtles!
Thank you for such a lovely review, Sacha. We cannot believe she shall be leaving us so soon.
There are lots of interesting new activities and parents are kept up to date well with the children’s activities.
Management was very accommodating of some last-minute requests I made and the long opening hours (8:00-18:00hrs) are great for working parents.
Thank you for your kind words, we are delighted that you are having such a great experience at Turtles, and appreciate your time and consideration to leave us a lovely review.
Turtles Nursery was a true second home for our daughter. When she joined she was one and a half years old, who just came from a different country. Very soon she started feeling like a happy and calm individual exploring the world with all the lovely guardians at Turtles Nursery and her friends. I really can not thank you enough for all the love and care we received at Turtles. I strongly recommend Turtles Nursery.
Thank you so very much for your review. We really appreciate your lovely feedback.
The staff are friendly, kind and nurturing.
The space is always so thoughtfully set up with different play areas and themes so it is a fantastic, cosy, interesting space for little ones to explore.
They have a nice outside area and I know they try to give the children lots of play time there (weather permitting) which I think is really important.
Overall we are super happy with Turtles and I would definitely recommend it!
Thank you so much for posting this lovely review for us. We are so looking forward to seeing you all again and hope you are finding our online newsfeed useful. We love seeing what all our children are doing right now and sharing our photos and activities to keep us connected. See you very soon.
Our son joined just after his second birthday, and the transition from staying home all day and being an only child to bring an independent little hun was remarkable.
Turtles fully supported us from day one, with regular reviews and daily feedback.
He felt at home at Turtles, he was cared for and happy, and that’s all a mother wants! I actually feel happy and safe when’s he there, and I know he’s having a great time with all the genuinely caring, happy staff. I was very apprehensive about sending him to the nursery; now I wish I done it sooner!
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. It's been a pleasure looking after your child and to be a part of his learning and development.
I am very happy with Turtles Nursery as it provides a wonderful environment for our child and nurtures overall development. My child is very happy going to the nursery (attending since December 2018). The staff are very cheerful and caring. All aspects of child care are well managed. I am always confident that she is in a happy and secure place while I am at work.
We can't believe it's been over a year already. We thank you for taking the time to give us this lovely feedback.
My daughter loves Turtles Nursery. She's developing very well! We really are confident with the teachers and their methods. Thanks for taking care of my daughter so well!
Thank you so much for taking the time review Turtles Nursery.
The transition from nursery to preschool was smooth and filled with support from the key person at the nursery.
I am fully satisfied with all the feedback, resources and opportunities provided to us while my son was at the nursery. I hope the best for all the children and my child will miss this nursery so much.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Our son has been there for only one year but he has learnt so much for a 3-year old! They have one-to-one time every morning with their key person and the improvement in his writing, reading etc is impressive. It is a very central location so there is not much space for the kids but I think the nursery is doing a good job with what they have and what is important is that my son has learnt quickly how to tidy up even his plate after meals, has improved his English (spoken, written, read) and is very self-confident and interested in the activities they have to offer. I would recommend this nursery as a good preparation for big school, I don’t have any experience for the baby stage though so can only talk about the room for the older children!
Thank you so much for your lovely review.
Her development throughout this time was impressive. We speak Spanish at home, but she is able to understand questions and songs in English without a problem and that is all fruitful of her time at Turtles, where they mostly talked to her in English, even though they do have Spanish speaking caregivers.
There were always different kind activities for the kids, they would paint and draw, craft decorations for related holidays, and learn about traditions from the different cultures all the kids came from.
They set topics depending on the time of the year, this provides the kids a context they can learn about through the activities. The topics could be songs, real-life professions, and artists.
The caregivers are lovely and caring, providing feedback on a daily basis plus a periodic catch up with the key person to talk about specific areas of the child's development.
Thanks Turtles!
This is one of the best nurseries in the city. The director is such a wonderful person and are staff are highly professional and excellent in child care.
When I did my masters at the City law school in 2015 the director and her fantastic team made studying very easy for me as I need not worry about care for my boys. She was very helpful and flexible and this met my needs as a student.
My boys were looked after and enjoyed coming to the nursery. The director and her team are very hardworking and dedicated in ensuring that childcare is given at its best. They have always maintained a high standard of care and that is why I am happy to come back to Turtle nursery after 3years.
I am so excited my 1-year-old is starting in September 2018. This is an excellent nursery and I will highly recommend it to families, friends and colleagues.
My three year old started the nursery two months ago and he settled in very well. He is learning new songs, shapes and making friends. The staff are friendly and the outside play area is well used, given the amount of space Central London has to offer.
Initially, I was apprehensive and a little anxious about returning to work before my son was a year old. But from the moment I went to see Turtles with my husband, my mind was instantly put at ease. The staff are amazing and our son's key worker really worked with him to settle him and reassure me. He was always bringing home art and learned so much in a few short months. I would recommend Turtles wholeheartedly as it is an oasis of calm for children in the heart of the West End. I was pleasantly surprised by how much time the children get to spend outdoors.
