EDG is a lovely setting for the children - staff are great with the children in all the rooms and they build a good relationship with parents. The reception staff are fantastic too. The nursery has good facilities including a garden and an art room, and has a really nice focus on child led play and learning. They prepared my son brilliantly for school (he was there for 3 years) and my daughter is very happy there.
Beautiful nursery who have welcomed us from the start of viewing. Lots of space and a large garden. Activities allow my son to play freely and learn. Rooms are light and airy and well set up for a child's development. One attraction of the nursery was the yoga and French they offer. Also pre-Covid they arranged outdoor trips and external visitors frequently - we hope that this can be restored in due course. Staff all friendly, welcoming and fill us with confidence. Management supportive and understanding over the Covid time. Our son loves it at EDG and we are very happy we chose it.
EDG is a wonderful setting. The staff are warm, engaging and so caring towards the children. The management are dedicated and are very connected with the children and concerned for their well-being. We are so grateful to them for taking such good care of our daughter.
We were immediately struck by how caring and attentive the staff are and by the positive and warm learning environment that has been created within the nursery. Being first-time parents when he joined, it was such a relief knowing that our child is in such safe hands and being well looked after. The management are always friendly and happy to talk through any issues parents might have and, given the regular updates we get on our son's development, feel active partners in his learning. During the covid-19 pandemic, the nursery went out of their way to be open and supportive, and we're so grateful for the willingness of all the nursery staff to get EDG open and running again as quickly and safely as possible. We already have our new daughter down to join nursery soon, which is probably the highest praise we can give to them!
My son has been attending the nursery for almost 2 years now and he has been very happy here. Despite some of the issues with previous management and Ofsted rating, we have never had any concerns with the care my son has been given. The current staff are amazing and positive changes of new management in introductory science-based educational exercises has been great. The feel given is fresh and healthy. My son loves the outsourced tennis coach on Wednesdays. All the other children at the nursery are lovely and my son has a great mix of friends there.
We sent our daughter here for 4 months and have only taken her out because we left London. The staff are all really friendly and nice and genuinely care for the children and are always reassuring. They also made drop off and pick up a dream by spending time with us to exchange information and give updates. My daughter, in a really short time frame, bonded with staff and was quite happy!
My daughter joined the nursery in September and has settled in wonderfully. The staff are caring, enthusiastic and she receives very personalised attention. She thoroughly enjoys herself there and experiences may new activities but most important of all to me is the caring and friendly atmosphere.
The activities and resources are excellent and the children at the nursery are lovely. The outside facilities are particularly good, especially for London.
My son was in the preschool room from October 2016 until he started school in September 2017. My daughter is now in the preschool room, having also been at the nursery since October 2016. I have seen a lot of change at the nursery and understand the less favourable feedback but must say the new manager is making significant and very visible changes for the better. Much more of a true child-led curriculum, play with natural materials, messy play, more natural play in the garden. Previous issues have been I think with management knowledge and direction, and definitely not with the attention and care of the staff in the rooms. I've always found staff lovely, especially in the preschool room. My children have been happy at Le Nid.
They have a great outdoor area, good rooms and organic meals.
We were a bit concerned about high staff turnover, but to our knowledge, the management is working on this.
We will be sending our eleven month old daughter to this nursery soon.
We have had a mixed experience with Le Nid Childcare.
On the one hand, our child seems very happy there. The nursery has a nice garden and there is a lot of time devoted to free play. Some staff are absolutely excellent. However, there is much room for improvement. The nursery has seen very high staff turnover and some staff are struggling with EYFS. The change in management has been for the best and we are hoping that the nursery is on it's way to getting better.
My son has been in attendance at Le Nid Childcare for almost 2 years and I couldn't be happier. It provides a nurturing and safe environment for the children. All the teachers have been wonderful and I feel that my little one has been thriving there. The building is lovely and they organise plenty of extra activities such music classes, tennis and Spanish lessons. The management is always keen on listening to parents and they take on board their advice. I cannot praise Le Nid Childcare highly enough.
My child has attended for 5 months and I continue to be very impressed by the nursery and in particular the dedicated and passionate staff. Everyone from the receptionist onwards is welcoming and seem to be professional and yet relaxed.
I have not experienced such a welcoming atmosphere in any other nurseries,
It is a bright and open building, children make great use of the large outdoor space.
I hope owners and management make efforts to keep staff happy, support them and recruit more people. Happy staff, equally happy children.
Overall facilities are excellent but worth asking staff what new equipment, toys or improvements needed now.
Regular posting up on the reception and room walls of the children's latest materials and learning goals would help busy parents quickly and easily grasp all the wonderful things the children seem to be doing and improve decor.
There is a fantastic app with photos and very informative newsletter.
A great place to be and to visit.
Extremely organised place, very flexible with arranging dates at very short notice.
Improvement area - there could be better handover and communication of specific requests between staff members.
My son loves nursery so I'm happy. He is learning Chinese and French and knows his colours. He is trying a variety of foods I do not cook at home which is good. I have another daughter who I am more than happy to start in September.
Very friendly caring nursery.
Great nursery, staff are brilliant.
My daughter began here just over a month ago and has had a wonderful experience so far. She absolutely loves coming to nursery and the setting and staff are fantastic. I was worried about how she would settle as she has difficulties with new people, but she settled very quickly. The staff were extremely caring and she's always kept busy and entertained.
I'm so happy to find this new nursery, near my house. The nursery is clean, staff are brilliant, learning is great. My son loves coming to this nursery, would recommend to any mother.
