  • Soho Nursery & Pre-School, London
Rated Good by Ofsted (October 2023), Soho Nursery & Pre-School provides childcare and education to children from birth to 5 years old.

The Nursery is tucked away beneath the streets of Soho. It's a cosy nursery in an intimate setting with separate spaces for different age groups and a secret underground garden!

The experienced staff plan each day with help from the children. There are lots of varied activities to choose from – from acting, dance and film-making, to cooking, gardening, science and woodwork. The children love to explore the local area too, enjoying outings to nearby tourist attractions like the National Gallery.

A dedicated chef provides all meals using healthy recipes from LEYF’s menu.

This nursery is the best nursery. The staff are fantastic and understand the needs of the children and have great relationships with the parents. They provide the children with many opportunities to go around the local community and have good links throughout the community. My child met the Princess
of Wales at the National Gallery on a trip from the nursery and was featured on the news when an author came to read to the children at the nursery! The sports day that the kids take part in is also great with the babies coming along and seeing the importance of keeping active!
Cannot sing their praises enough!

I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for recommendations. My child has been attending this nursery since they were 18 months old. She has thrived here and has the best time. This nursery has offered my child many opportunities to be involved in many activities in and outside of the
nursery. Activities outside of the nursery have involved meeting the Princess of Wales at the National Gallery and also featuring on the news when a book author attended the nursery. We as a family have been very fortunate to have found this nursery.

My son has been in Soho Nursery since he was 9 months old and he's now just two! Soho Nursery is a real paradise for our miniature humans! As soon as you walk through the door, you're greeted by a chorus of laughter and babbling. You can tell that the babies feel at home here! The nursery staff deserve
a gold medal for their patience and dedication. They juggle nappies, baby bottles, toys and activities like circus performers, and they always do it with a smile. They're really great! The activities are perfectly suited to toddlers. I've seen children painting with their hands, dancing like little penguins and even holding secret meetings in their cosy corner. It's an endless source of entertainment. On top of that, the nursery is spotlessly clean and has just been refurbished. The meals are delicious too. This nursery is a magical place where toddlers become experts in exploration, friendship and laughter. It's the perfect place for budding adventurers. Well done, excellent work!

Very warm and welcoming for our 11 month old. Great facilities for play and lovely, experienced staff. He loves all of the toys and activities to explore and has been well supported in adjusting to life at nursery.

Fantastic nursery, it is our son’s first ever time at nursery and the staff couldn’t be more gentle and nurturing! The other babies and children are so kind and sweet, they often bring toys to play with one another and are always so loving to one another. There are so many fun toys to choose from too!
The food is brilliant and so varied, freshly made with seasonal ingredients, we feel so happy sending our son here! Thank you to all the staff for your hard work and dedication!

Exceptional care and support. The manager and staff's dedication has made us feel like we are a part of an extended family.
Their commitment to providing a rich and diverse learning environment really stands out. The inclusion of so many cultural activities has been a tremendous bonus for our child
development.
What truly sets Soho Nursery apart is the love and commitment offered to our child. Again, thank you for providing a second home (that sometimes our child doesn't want to leave) and enriching her first social life experience.

Review from C H (Mother of Child) published on 3 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Great nursery which provides a great environment for our son to learn, thrive and flourish by encouraging him to go at his own pace and supporting him in his conquests, e.g. he had never experienced stairs with us but they allowed him to go at his pace when he showed an interest in using them and taught
him how to use them safely.
Food is cooked onsite using a great chef who cooks meals from scratch with meals encompassing the balanced diets our babies and children need.
Nursery hours are longer than others I have heard of in London (they operate 7.30 am-6.30 pm) so well suited around work.
We are given updates in person on his day and also via the app, albeit some things are missed on this.
When dropping in the morning, my son is so excited to see the staff which makes for an easier morning when at work, which I believe is a testament to how he feels about nursery.

We can not recommend Soho Nursery & Pre-School highly enough. Our daughter has been attending since she was 12 months. She is now three years and six months old and still loves going every single day. The care, facilities and attention to detail is second to none. The location is incredible - it really
is a hidden gem. Food and nutrition - amazing, care, empathy and attention - amazing. Development
- amazing. Staff - amazing. Literally can’t thank the nursery and the entire team enough. I highly, highly recommend it.

The carers at Soho Nursery & Pre-School are incredible! They are so kind, and we feel extremely lucky that our baby is in such amazing hands! The newly renovated rooms have so many fun and interesting activities. The app is great for keeping up to date with meals, naps, activies, nappies and messages
from the staff. We have become close with all the carers and the admin team and highly recommend the nursery. Our baby loves it, and seeing her growth and confidence is a true testament to the team at Soho Nursery & Pre-School.

I loved Soho Nursery and all its staff. They were always charming and very kind towards me and my baby.
She learnt a lot and developed many skills. We were very happy with her appointed person.
I would totally recommend to anyone because every aspect was carefully thought for the children.
