About this price
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.

The team have been so supportive with our child, who potentially has some language delays. He is absolutely flourishing, and we're so grateful for his teachers' expertise, support and guidance.
To find a nursery with such great facilities has been far beyond our expectations. Kitchen making the children's fresh meals on site, a large garden area with trikes and soft plan and sensory rooms, plus a really great light space for toddlers.
It's such peace of mind to know that each day our child happily wanders in with barely a backward glance at us, and comes home happy and a bit tired from all the fun!
My child is learning and developing more things as I have seen more improvement in trying to make phrases.

My child is learning and developing more things as I have seen more improvement in trying to make phrases.
I did not like it when taking children outside gardening, they did not change my child's shoes.
I’ve been told from day one to get boots and a rain suit.
I do not see that they change, I bring my child home with muddy shoes and trousers.
I did inform them.

We love Stockwell Gardens! Our daughter's been there for a year and a half since she was one, my nephew's been going for a year, and before that, our son was there for nearly four years till he started school. The staff are all really caring and loving with the children; the activities they put on every day are engaging and fun, and the equipment and garden are great for exploring; the staff carefully think through what each child needs for their development; the management and all the staff are great with parents and keep us really well informed with what's going on at the nursery and how to support our children's development; and the food is amazing! I couldn't want any more from the nursery.

It was so reassuring for us as first-time parents to know that our baby was being loved and cared for by such wonderful teachers.
Our baby has made such progress and loves coming to nursery! Her face now lights up when she sees her teachers, and we couldn’t have asked for anything more as parents.

My daughter is attending Stockwell Garden Nursery, and she is really happy to come to nursery every morning. She has settled in really well, and the staff are very caring and nurturing towards the children. There is a really good partnership between the staff and the parents, and I always receive feedback at the end of the day. The relationship between home and the nursery is excellent, and it really feels like being in a family. I will definitely recommend it to other parents.
I would thoroughly recommend Stockwell Gardens Nursery. My children love it there and are truly nurtured. They have a wonderful space including a garden, they do interesting activities and have a fabulous menu. However, most of all, the staff are all excellent and the children all happy.

Very happy with Stockwell Gardens Nursery. Our two boys both love their time at nursery and come home having learnt new skills and interacting with similar aged children. Highly recommend this nursery, with lovely staff and professional approach.

Thank you so much, Brad. We love having both boys here with us. It is a pleasure to see them grow and develop daily.
The staff and facilities are amazing. This nursery is so nurturing and loving, and our son absolutely loves it. The opportunity to learn, while also having fun is great, and we have seen our son transform under their care.

Thank you so much, Sarah. It has been a pleasure having your son here with us.

I'm really happy that I chose this nursery. With love.
Very friendly and professional staff. Very good food, with all food groups covered. Cater to individual needs e.g. make our baby tea as he won't drink milk.

Although the nursery came recommended I was impressed by the facilities on the first show around, making the decision to return to work and leaving my 10-month-old daughter in the care of strangers was difficult, but seeing how quickly she settled in and bonded with the team made life so much...
There is a real sense of family among the team. I know she is being well looked after and my mind is at ease when I leave her. My daughter's development is encouraged continuously and I'm very happy!.
However, communication is an issue. I tried to change my sons attendance days but it took me two months to get approved although we knew there were spaces available.

However, communication is an issue. I tried to change my sons attendance days but it took me two months to get approved although we knew there were spaces available.
Also, I usually leave the country for two months every year and the nursery won't allow me to book the time off, even though we give 1-month notice minimum. We end up paying for two months in the fear of losing the space. However, we have to pay for the week you're closed over Christmas.
The children participate in a wide range of activities and he has come on along with his development since he started.

There is a great sense of community and all of the staff are friendly and engaging. We would highly recommend this nursery and are delighted that we chose it for our son’s important formative years.

Our son Marcel joined the nursery at age 1 in October 2015 and has been in all three rooms of nursery since on four full days a week basis.
We love the family environment at the nursery, the staff treat the children with respect and love, they know all children in all levels and he has thrived there. He has learnt English at nursery (we speak Spanish at home), manners, how to be respectful with other children and adults and he always complains he does not want to go home when I pick him up. The manager is a good manager who always tries to accommodate our needs. We have recommended the nursery to at least three people whose child ended up attending it.
My son has been at Stockwell Gardens since he was a little over 1 and has recently turned 4. He has thoroughly enjoyed his time at the nursery and I couldn't recommend the care and team at the nursery. They are attentive to him as a child and encourage learning in a positive way.

We previously had our 1st child with another provider but it was very poor in terms of staff and management and this has a big effect on the kids which we didn’t fully appreciate until we moved them to Stockwell Gardens.
The focus on development, both personal and educationally is extremely professional.
In summary, my children are safe, healthy and well looked after. They run in and have to be dragged out every day!
My son joined this nursery in December and has been very happy in the over 1s room. The staff are always very caring and that really helped him settle in. They do lots of fun activities for the children and he really enjoys his time there.
