How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

What means the most to me is how loving, caring and welcoming all the staff are towards her. As a parent, it gives me so much reassurance knowing that she is somewhere she feels happy, safe and comfortable, surrounded by people who genuinely care about her.
I really appreciate the activities and learning opportunities the children are given, as I can see the positive impact they are having on my daughter at home as well.
Thank you to the whole team for the care, patience and encouragement you give her. I am very happy with our experience and would definitely recommend the nursery to other parents.
Stockwell Garden Nursery is the best place I could have chosen for my daughter's learning and development. It is wonderful and reassuring to see the support, dedication, care, and love shown by the teachers, manager, chef, and the entire team. Thank you very much, Stockwell team.

My son has been at Stockwell since he was just about one year old, all the way up until now in the toddler room. It has been so reassuring to see how much he has thrived and how his confidence has grown over the past year and a half. The staff have done an amazing job of helping him become more independent and learn new things every day. My son is currently smashing toilet training, thanks to the help and support from the toddler room staff. The chef provides amazing meals and puddings, giving every child the opportunity to explore different foods! The manager is very professional, and her focus is always on the wellbeing and care of the children.
We love Stockwell Leyf and couldn't be happier with our daughter's experience there over the last six months. The staff are so warm, friendly and caring, and always well informed about how she's doing and what she's been up to.

There's a great variety of healthy food, a lovely big garden and lots of fun activities. We also really appreciate the daily app updates and regular photos.
We're all so happy with the nursery and feel very reassured knowing she's so well cared for and having such a great time. Highly recommend!

Our son has been attending Stockwell Gardens since he turned one, going from babies' room to toddlers' room and preschool room. The spaces are clean and well kept, the garden is well designed, and the staff is professional and caring. Shout out to chef Janet and her delicious meals, my son went from being an extremely picky eater to liking (and/or being willing to try) most foods. He loves going there and has grown and developed so much in the past three years. We would recommend Stockwell nursery to anyone who is looking for daycare in the area.

Our child has been with the nursery for more than 3 years now. We've been consistently impressed with the care and attention the staff give to the children in all three rooms (baby, toddler, and pre-school). The nursery has been essential in helping prepare my child for primary school. The nursery's garden is a great space for the kids to enjoy the outdoors. And I'm told the chef's food is second-to-none. I would have no hesitation in recommending the nursery to parents in the area.
We are so convinced that we chose the right nursery for our family after visiting many nurseries locally. The strongest deciding factor was our complete trust in the manager. She is honest, strong willed and above all, genuinely cares about children's wellbeing and development. We felt this from...
As cautious first time parents with many questions, we have always felt listened to and respected. The nursery has been responsive and supportive, and we have been able to work together on plans for our child whenever we needed guidance.
Our child has developed immensely since joining, both in confidence and skills, and we truly feel the nursery has played a huge part in that growth. Good managers attract good staff, and we trust the long serving team across all the rooms. LEYF Stockwell Gardens feels proactive, transparent and full of genuinely kind people. We feel very lucky to have found this nursery.

Stockwell Gardens Nursery has been the most wonderful experience for my girls. The staff are brilliant and I trust them totally to look after my babies when I have to work. The nursery is always cleaned and well managed - I would suggest them for any new parents.

Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation, it truly means a lot to our team. We're delighted to hear your girls have had such a positive experience, and we'll continue striving to provide a safe, nurturing environment every day.

I was very sceptical about sending my son to nursery. After visiting several nurseries including Stockwell gardens I finally made a decision to send my son to Stockwell as the other nursery didn't give me the warm welcome and connection I had with Stockwell. and it was a decision I never regretted. My son and I absolutely love this nursery they treat him like he is their son. The nursery staff make you feel informed and secured that your child is in good hands. The settling period was the most nervous feeling I had and the staff made it an easy process for my child and I. They made sure to call me at least 2-3 times in the day to update me on him. My child is super happy to leave to go and learn and be with his peers. The only tears we get now is to go home as he enjoys his time at nursery. I want to thank the nursery for their patience and love they give him. My son has grown and learnt so much in the short time he has attended Stockwell nursery.
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely feedback Deleisa. It means a lot to know your son feels happy, loved, and settled with us, we truly enjoy watching him grow and thrive every day!

Both our children went to Stockwell Gardens Nursery and we have been so happy with their time there. Our kids were very happy, the staff were lovely and very engaged with the children. They provided varied and interesting activities for the children to do, and gave us lots of information about what our kids were up to during the day. We also love Chef Janet and the food the kids get, as well as the cooking they do. There is great outside space. The management of the nursery and LEYF overall really understand and care about early years development. Would definitely recommend Stockwell Gardens nursery to any parent.
Absolutely brilliant! They are kind, caring and down to earth staff who go above and beyond for your child.

We have so much trust in them to care for him. They set a very high bar in nursery standards!

We have been very happy with our child's experience at Stockwell Gardens. The staff are all caring and supportive, and our child has really come on in leaps and bounds since he started a year ago. We'd recommend it to anyone.

An incredible level of care, warm welcomes, all the staff know my child’s name and address him as he walks past, play is involved and engaging and his language and movement have developed rapidly. A very special place filled with very special and skilled staff. Also hugely appreciate the quality of the food he is fed - whole foods, home-cooked.

Stockwell Gardens Nursery has been amazing for my little girl. She has settled in really well and the staff are fantastic. They look after her with a lot of attention and affection. The manager is a great leader who is managing a great team. My son was at an earlier nursery managed by the same manager and he only left for school. It was my great experience from there that I decided to send my daughter to Stockwell. The daily updates are prompt and accurate and I feel very at ease dropping my child. The activities that are set up are great and very stimulating for my daughter, the pictures show that! Would 100% recommend this setting to anyone thinking of a nursery for their children!

Our daughter has been at the nursery since she was 12 months old. Leaving our baby girl with complete strangers was a really difficult time, but the staff were amazing. They allayed our anxiety and took excellent care of her. She took a few weeks to settle in, but now doesn't even turn around to say bye when we drop her off. The children all seem really happy. And despite there being a room full of toddlers, it never seems out of control and you seldom hear or see crying. The staff seem to genuinely love the children. I've seen my daughter be comforted, cuddled and even kissed by the staff. I want my child to feel safe and loved. She has developed amazingly - her language, her physicality, her dexterity, her comprehension is far above other toddlers her age. The staff work hard to develop a range of activities such as sensory play, outdoor play, even smell activities. The chef is amazing. She eats so well and the food is fresh and healthy which was so important to us. Love LEFY!
