Overall Experience

I have had 2 children at Riverside Holly Road and a 3rd will start soon. There are great facilities, imaginative activities, plenty of outside opportunities in the local community green spaces. All boxes ticked, but the staff are everything. Kind, fun, engaging.

Review from Tamara M (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter absolutely loves going to the nursery. She is super excited about spending time with her friends, doing various well thought out activities and enjoys all the crafts they are doing! She loves learning phonics and other activities they have like forest school, yoga, didi dance and spanish. She is well settled and comfortable with her teachers and I would absolutely recommend Holly road as a nursery!

Overall Experience
We've had a truly wonderful experience with Riverside Nursery, both Grosvenor House and Holly Road. From the moment our daughter joined, it was clear that this nursery holds itself to the highest standards. The staff are very professional and well-trained, they also show genuine care and attentiveness towards each child.

Our daughter has thrived here, both socially and academically. It genuinely feels like a level of early education above what many school-based nurseries offer. We're incredibly grateful for the positive foundation this nursery has given her.

Review from Liz B (Mother of Child) published on 13 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter loves nursery! She moved to the toddler room in September 2024 and very quickly settled into her new environment. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and offer great advice. The communication with parents is exceptional, the app is always updated regularly, photos and updates are posted more than weekly and they respond within the hour if you post through the app. The staff are always willing to take the time to speak about anything whether it's initiated from their side or the family side. The assessments are thorough and clear and we love that we get to go in and speak face to face with the practitioners to discuss. The food menu offers a good range, although could be a little more 'child friendly'. I love that they teach the children independence through their self service.

The activities are varied and our daughter enjoys all of them. The children are taken to the garden area or out on walks daily which is great. Would highly recommend!

Review from N O (Mother of Child) published on 13 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter has been at riverside for three and a half year, first at Grosvenor House and now at Holly Road. The team has always been kind, warm, knowledgable, caring and invested in our daughter's wellbeing and growth. We have always felt she was very well taken care of and was always keen to go to nursery to experience all the excitement, play and development which is on offer.
Now at Holly Road, the toddler and pre-schooler rooms are really well thought through and allow for so much imagination, play and learning opportunities.

We feel confident recommending Riverside Grosvenor House and Holly Road to parents in the area.

Review from H C (Mother of Child) published on 13 June 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Both my sons have attended the nursery and we have had at least one child at the nursery now for 5 years. Staff have inevitably come and gone over the 5 years, but they have all been wonderful and my sons have formed some very strong bonds with some staff in particular. Both have also made some really good friends and I have seen how well it prepared my elder son for school. We shall be very sad to say goodbye come September.

Review from N B (Father of Child) published on 13 June 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Bright Beginnings Twickenham provides a fun and welcoming environment for our daughter. We notice she is developing into a highly sociable and expressing little girl, who has formed strong mutual bonds with her carers. The only drawback is the lack of outdoor space owing to the town centre location. But this is compensated for by daily walks to many open spaces nearby. As with all London nurseries, the care is expensive hence I only mark value for money as "satisfactory" but that is more a comment on the market, not the care itself.

Review from C S (Mother of Child) published on 13 June 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughter has been at the nursery since she was 8 months old and now about to graduate from the preschool. We have been very happy with how she has been cared for in particular she has formed a great bond with every key person, and the staff are always very competent and kind. In preschool, in particular, my daughter's speech and pronunciation have improved in response to the early phonics exercises they've been doing and she is showing an interest in spelling and sounding out words. My youngest will start here in the autumn, so am very happy to recommend.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Bright Beginnings since she was 9 months. She is now 4 years old and has always loved it. The staff are fabulous, genuinely care and there is very little staff turnover which means they really get to know the children. I have never worried about her when she is at nursery.
