The Spanish Nursery and Children's Centre for Culture and Language

Lately, it has been getting harder to get our little one to leave when I arrive, I am often being showed around for a few minutes before we manage to leave. A great sign I think.

Oh, and the food is fantastic and very healthy.

We could not be more happy with every member of staff and our child looks forward to every new day. We do not have a Spanish background at home, but our child in a year has begun to communicate fully in Spanish which only adds to the reasons to chose this excellent nursery. The nurturing kindness of this environment makes it stand out from other creches we have looked at and attended.

He has developed strong bonds with pretty much all the carers and never wants to leave when we pick him up.

I am delighted with the care and education my son is receiving at The Spanish Nursery. We are new to London and I feel so lucky to have found this community-minded nursery. My son was immediately welcomed and made to feel comfortable. The teachers and staff are lovely and knowledgeable about early childhood education. They very quickly got to know my son and communicated any observations about him immediately. The care they take with the children is reflected in everything they do, from the thoughtful activities, routines, incredible food and meal times, and the curriculum. The staff are responsive to my needs and questions and they are excellent communicators. They take great care to meet expectations are are meticulous about guidelines and regulations. The best thing about the school is its incredible warmth and good feeling. My son is all smiles every day when I come to pick him up. The teachers all work hard and their dedication is evident. I highly recommend this school to anyone.

My daughter has gone to the Spanish Nursery since October 2015, we chose it because our Spanish nanny had taught my daughter some Spanish and we wanted her to keep what she had learnt. The nursery has been great and has done far more than just help my daughter keep and develop her Spanish.

The nursery is in a large community hall with a connected Astro turf garden and access to a private wood where the children can do nature walks and exploring. Every day there is nice mix of free play, group activities (singing, stories and games) and planned activities to develop different skills (fine motor, problem solving etc). There is also lots of topic based learning, at the moment we are learning poems and songs about winter and the children are doing work about the season in nursery. The poems and songs helps parents get involved and are really useful for parents like us with very limited Spanish as we can learn the songs and poems that my daughter brings home and sing them as a family.

My daughter is very happy at the nursery, she really likes the adults and describes them all as her best friends and with their help and encouragement she is making friends the other children. The food is nice and healthy and often includes traditional Spanish food which deepens my daughters knowledge of Spain. The progress reports we have had are detailed and helpful, we and the staff are currently working on developing my daughter's gross motor skills.

The staff are lovely and are all bilingual English/Spanish which helps me and my husband as meetings about progress and updates can be given in either English or Spanish. There are quite a few children who had no Spanish before they started at the nursery and they are progressing too.

All in all (as you can tell from this review) I am really happy and recommend this nursery.

The whole team works hard to ensure every child has the right activities, equipment, to make the daily learning so much fun that children love going to the nursery. The staff is really professional and friendly, the food is excellent and the kids eat really well. Key-workers are in constant contact with parents to update them and review, share goals. Managers and team leaders are very accessible and responsive. Our experience has been excellent and our child couldn't be happier.
