  • Conservatoire Nursery & Pre-school, London
Rated Outstanding by Ofsted (November 2021), Conservatoire Nursery & Pre-School provides childcare and education to children from birth to 5 years old.

You can find them in Blackheath, not far from the station. It's a spacious nursery in a handsome Victorian building with separate areas for different age groups and a large garden.

The experienced staff plan each day with help from the children. They can choose from a wide range of activities, from gardening to science experiments, football to dialogic reading, and more. The children love to get out and about too – shopping for fruit and veg at the local market or nature-spotting on Blackheath.

Their in-house chef provides all meals using nutritious recipes from LEYF’s menu.

Review from Joseph A (Father of Child) published on 17 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having a nursery like The Conservatoire near our home is such a blessing! The individual attention and care given to each child is phenomenal. Our little girl attends the baby room thrice a week and like all babies, took her time to settle into the nursery; the staff were very understanding and supportive
throughout this period. We appreciate the daily report we receive from the nursery about our daughter's day with them and also really enjoy the weekly newsletter. As parents, we are very happy with the nursery and feel satisfied that our daughter is in good hands while away from us.

The Conservatoire Nursery is an excellent childcare facility. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and I feel totally confident leaving my daughter in their care. The nursery facilities are excellent and conveniently located for working parents who require fast access to central London.

My Son loves going to nursery and doesn't look back when I drop him off as he is too busy hugging all the staff in the baby room. He is always happy when I pick him up and tired after such a busy day! He is learning new words, songs and loves playing with water and sound in the garden. He has great
fun exploring with the toys and activities such as painting or playing with materials and doing art. My Son isn't the easiest but the staff have helped to get him eating, napping in the day and good at nappy changes!!

As a whole I believe London Eearly Years Foundation as a company bring a unique world of learning to all their attending children.


The Conservatoire, Blackheath is a prime example of this. All baby room staff are kind, friendly, warming and welcoming, and as a whole, amazing. My child never leaves

without a big smile on her face for Daddy whenever I pick her up. Her keyworker is brilliant and always provides detailed feedback upon my arrival and genuinely loves being around all the children.

The nursery feels more like an extended family where the staff seem to really care about the children and their development. Both my kids love going in and enjoy the activities their nursery put on. The food is well planned and gets them experimenting new tastes.
It's a great nursery, I couldn't think
of anywhere better for them and I'm glad that I can go to work knowing they will have a fun and interesting day.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.940)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.940) out of 10 for Conservatoire Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.940 for Conservatoire Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (157 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.94
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Conservatoire Nursery & Pre-school is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
