Dear Katy, thank you so much for your kind words, we are delighted that you are happy with Number 9 The Nursery. It must have been such a difficult decision but we are so pleased you chose us and are happy with the care we provide. Thank you again for your kind words.
Lovely nursery and staff. Clean and tidy, the staff are caring. For my daughter, it was a bit stressful having to start nursery at 3 years old 10 hours a day but the staff did a great job helping her to settle in caring about her and love her. After a month my daughter was completely different this...
Well done number 9 the nursery for your genuine care.

Outstanding staff who go above and beyond their duty set within wonderful facilities. As a first time Mum who was sceptical about nurseries but I was made very welcome when my son started and instantly put at ease. I have a brilliant relationship with his key workers and am updated daily on his routine/food/sleep/nappies, and sometimes with pictures too which is a lovely touch. My son has developed so much since starting at Number 9 and I strongly believe it is due to their fantastic care and commitment towards every child to reach their full potential. The only limitation of the nursery is that it is located in a part of Croydon that gets very busy during rush hour, and the parking structure is stressful, particularly during peak times. That said, the nursery does their best to minimise the issue by urging parents to follow parking regulations but it is often ignored. This is such a small flaw in the grand scheme of things and does not take away from the brilliance of this establishment.
Thank you so much for your kind review, we are delighted to hear such positive feedback on our staff and facilities. We really appreciate you bringing to our attention the difficulty with parking on the forecourt and we shall ensure that more enforcements are put in place to ensure that parents follow the rules of parking to make it easier for everyone.
Kind regards
Number 9 The Nursery is a wonderful place to be for kids. My son loves to go there. The staff is amazing and always happy to help.

I am extremely happy with sending my son to this nursery. When you go to work you want to know that your child is safe and happy. I always feel this way. My son talks about the staff as if they are his best friends and he has learnt so much since attending. Being a teacher, I look out for open learning tasks as well as age-appropriate challenges and they certainly provide this. Every member of staff is compassionate and seem to really enjoy being around the children. I would recommend this nursery to everyone!

I moved my daughter from another nursery to Number 9 and have been extremely happy with the decision. The staff are amazing and my daughter is so proud of all the activities they do and so excited to bring them home. She is so passionate about learning to write and the team have supported and encouraged her immensely. She loves the science experiments and I love the children are being encouraged to explore and apply different skills.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are happy that you and your daughter enjoy Number 9.

My daughter was at Number 9 from before she was two and she only left in July this year to head off to big school. I’d like to thank all staff at Number 9. My little one has started school being so independent and confident. Her new school teacher is so impressed with her as she can do so much academically and so much independently.
Dear Lauren, Thank you for your kind words. We are so pleased to hear your daughter has settled so well into Reception, it is always lovely to hear how they are getting on in their new school.

I honestly would recommend this nursery to anyone and everyone and I only wished I moved him to Number 9 sooner.

My daughter has been attending Number 9 The Nursery for three years and is in the Pre-School Group. Throughout her time on the baby floor, two-year-old group and pre-school the care for her has been amazing. The team are wonderful and made every effort to ensure that my daughter's needs are met! There are lovely extra activities and my daughter is particularly fond of Pro-Stars and Ballet. She also does wonderful activities daily which I can look at on Eylog and brings home lovely artwork. I cannot thank Number 9 enough for all the hard work they do to make sure my little lady has a lovely day whilst I am at work! It means the world to me to see my child so happy and confident and I know she will settle well into school due to the way Number 9 promote independence and support the children emotionally to be confident. The nursery also supports parents and we have regular meetings with her key worker and I regularly attend parent workshops (potty training was a must and really helped me).

Number 9 nursery staff have been excellent and helpful throughout my son's journey. They helped my son settle in without any problem. He loved going to the nursery and I found tremendous improvement in his language and behaviour after going to this nursery. He had loads of friends whom he would meet even outside the nursery. I would recommend this nursery to everyone who wants their child to be nurtured and cared for.
Thank you so much for your kind words.

Number 9 was his first. He didn't know any other language than our mother tongue. Number 9 staff assured us that they would do their best and truly went above and beyond to cater the attention and love my child required. Staff re-assured everything is going to fall in place soon after my son started and we were really worried how would he get adjusted let alone learn English. Within 2 months of joining, he started constructing sentences in English to our surprise. All thanks to the lovely staff out there who give the required individual attention to kids. We are really glad we chose this nursery. I can't give anything less than outstanding for this wonderful second home to my child.

It isn’t the cheapest nursery but experience has proven to me that you get what you pay for and my wife and I are 100% happy with the Number 9 and it’s staff.
My 3 children attend Number 9. My twins are 3 and started at 12 months and my son is 1 and started when he was 5 months old so we have experience of the children attending all of the rooms. We absolutely love the nursery. We were very apprehensive leaving my son so little but the baby room are...
We would highly recommend and if we ever had any more children they will most definitely be attending Number 9!
I would definitely recommend.

Our son has been at Number 9 the nursery for almost a year since he was just under one. I was hesitant about going back to work and leaving him in a new place with new people caring for him, but he quickly settled and I quickly trusted the nursery. Every day that we drop him off at nursery, we are greeted with a smile from every single member of staff, and everyone knows his name. The settling in period was managed very well and I wouldn't ever feel bad about calling to check up on him in the early days. We're so pleased with our choice of nursery and feel very confident that he is being looked after well when he's there. The nursery is clean, very new, well resourced with lots of learning opportunities. Communication is excellent through use of the EYLog app, we receive regular photos and videos of our son having lots of fun and we also value the time spent to touch base through parents evenings. The outstanding Ofsted was certainly no surprise to us and is very well deserved.
Thank you so much again.
