My son went to a couple of other nurseries in another area we lived and he always cried before going to them. At Craft Wizards this never happens. He is always happy. His development is good too and they always send activity updates.
It is fabulous to hear that your son never cries when coming to Crafty Wizards when previously he struggled with going to nursery. Our staff use a range of strategies to help support settling in and confidence. We are happy to read that you have been seeing our daily updates with activities set up...
Crafty wizards are the fourth setting my son has been in and the best setting he's ever been in. The manager goes above and beyond for the children and Crafty Wizards and really cares for each child. The Senco member of staff is outstanding for my child, who has additional needs. I've seen a massive improvement in development, confidence, behaviour and social skills since attending Crafty Wizards since September 2022. Truly the best nursery I have ever come across, my son is the happiest he has ever been in a setting and is super excited to attend. I've watched my child be really shy and hate attending nursery, to being at Crafty Wizards and thriving. There are always different activities and my son especially loves forest school and music with the Senco member of staff. All the staff are amazing and so warm and welcoming with the children. So professional - I could not recommend this nursery more, they are the best setting and I'm so grateful to have my son in such an amazing setting!
Wow, you have a unique angle, having experienced care in 3 previous nurseries. It is an honour to receive your 5 stars in all areas review and state that your son is now 'thriving'. The manager, Senco and team work extremely hard with our unique Crafty Wizards, their families, outside agencies and...
Absolutely brilliant preschool, the staff are amazing and there is always so much going on a daily basis to keep the children occupied and learning! My son started in October 2022 and after having trouble trying to settle him in another nursery. We chose Crafty Wizards and he instantly loved it, he is so happy there and goes in each day with a smile on his face and a spring in his step! He comes home very exhausted and very happy. I really could not recommend a preschool more than Crafty Wizards and I am so glad my son will be there until September when he starts reception. Once again I could not rate the staff and setting more highly.
We love smiles at Crafty Wizards! We are so glad that your son settled in quickly after a troubled start at another nursery. We are always thinking of new ways to plan activities around the interests and needs of our Crafty Wizards. Some of our pre-schools have celebrated Chinese New Year, Winnie...
My son really enjoys going to preschool where the key workers make everyday fun with lots of activities and crafts to enjoy throughout the day. They are very attentive to the kids and keep a good record of children's development. Cannot recommend enough.
Thank you for your review, it's heart-warming to hear that you 'cannot recommend enough' Crafty Wizards Pre-school. We are a small set of 'family style' pre-schools, not a large chain, your positive comments and word of mouth really do help support our efforts. We work closely with local...
The nursery always goes above and beyond for my child. I feel confident and safe knowing that my child is in their care and being looked after. I will be sad when he leaves for primary school in September 2023!
'Above and beyond'! We do aim high at Crafty Wizards and promote this with our children, we have a song about this for our Crafty Wizards that we sing: "C-R-A-F-T-Y, Crafty Wizards come let's fly..... Let's aim high, touch the sky, there is nothing we can't try...." We believe in open mindsets and...
Our 2-year-old son started at Crafty Wizards World Pre-School in December 2021. We were worried about the impact that Covid had on him, including being in a social setting and delay with speech. Since Crafty Wizards, we have seen a massive progress! Our son used to scream in social settings, now he is so confident and loves being out! The team are also very friendly and approachable and are also very reassuring when I have gone to them with concerns with our little one's development. They give great advice and keep us informed with how our son's day has gone. At first, our son would be upset to go to school, now I'm struggling to pick him up at home time as he just wants to stay in school. Thank you to all of the talented team at Crafty Wizards.
We do work hard to support all our unique Crafty Wizards. We have been shortlisted by the National Day Nurseries Association for how we support children in play, with a focus on those that need additional support with their learning. We use strategies from I-Can, Small Talk, all our staff have...
My daughter has been going to Crafty Wizards World Pre-School since November last year and she has progressed so much. The staff there are so helpful and offer so much support to us parents. They helped with potty training my daughter and getting her off the dummy. She has gained so much confidence and I’m so proud of how much she has achieved whilst going there. I would 100% recommend this pre-school and will definitely be sending my other children here when they are old enough.
Five stars in all areas! We have been shortlisted for the Play & Learning – Supporting Children with SEND by the National Day Nurseries Association and they interviewed us yesterday asking, "What do you want your children to be able to do when they leave pre-school". The answer for us is to have...
Really great experience. My darling son attends the Crafty Wizards World Pre-School, Eltham and always comes home with lots of stories (wizard, dentist, firefighter, gardener, chef etc). He talks a lot about the staff and always has stories to tell us at home. Staff update with child's development and very easy to approach. I definitely recommend other parents for their child to join Crafty Wizards. He has grown in many ways and I am sure he will learn more before he joins reception. Thanking all staff.
Your five stars and magical words mean a lot, thank you. It is heartwarming to hear how your son is enjoying Crafty Wizards Pre-School. We hope that you enjoyed our superhero event and hope to see you and your son at our Crafty Cakes event for our Crafty Wizards and parents. Also, look out for a...
My son has attended Crafty Wizards World Pre-School for the past eighteen months (my daughter attended for two years before) and he has had a wonderful experience. The teachers are wonderful and genuinely care for the children. My son has grown in so many ways since joining Crafty Wizards and I would recommend the pre-school to everyone.
Wand-er-ful! Thank you so much for your five stars in all areas review. We do aim to give the personal touch, not being a large chain we pride ourselves in our mangers and team knowing the interests and needs of our Crafty Wizards. We have a number of events coming up to celebrate our ten years and...
Overall, a great little pre-school.
Thank you for your review. The transition to pre-school/nursery/school is unique for all children. We try a range of strategies to help our new starters with forming attachments at pre-school. It is fantastic to hear how your son enthusiastically talks about his pre-school adventures. We look...
We are very happy with Crafty Wizards World Pre-School. Initially, we were attracted to the term time only hours and short sessions of three hours for our 2-year-old. We love the friendliness of the staff and general helpfulness. Our little one loves going there and has lots of fun. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you for the five-stars all around. There is no magic without you and your Crafty Wizard! We work hard with partnerships with families, the local community and outside agencies to make learning magical through creativity! The 'F' in our 'C-R-A-F-T-Y' ethos stands for fun so it's spell-binding to hear that your little one is having lots of fun.
Crafty Wizards World Pre-School team create a wonderfully magic environment for our little learners. During a rather uncertain time, this nursery has gone above and beyond to reassure parents this setting continues to be a safe place for their child. Providing us with ample information to prepare our little ones for returning after lockdown's. It still amazes me how resilient the children are and how quickly they settle into their “new normal.” Massive credit to the staff no matter what obstacles were thrown at them, they still opened the door with the most magical and inviting smile! Crafty Wizards World Pre-School update the parents on daily activities via social media and you even get to see some action shots of your little ones engaging in their favourite activities. Updates on your child’s progress is posted to you on an app that the staff are more than happy to explain how to use. You can also share progress and home activities with Crafty Wizards World Pre-School on this app! Staff are always on hand to answer any questions. Crafty Wizards World Pre-School have mastered the magic of learning.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this detailed review. We have aimed to provide awe and wonder throughout the pandemic and really value the support all our families have given. We aim to have strong parent partnerships and worked hard in creating home learning sack opportunities. We...
Great staff who are friendly and brilliant with all the children, they have outstanding care with them all. Outstanding care to my child, I couldn’t fault them and recommend this preschool highly. My daughter loves going every time, she loves the staff and her friends.
Magic-nificent! Thank you for taking the time to write this 5-stars in all areas review. The team work hard to provide a stimulating environment where our Crafty Wizards can have fun, feel safe and be supported in their learning and interests. We want to give awe and wonder every day, to make...
My child has attended this setting for almost two years. She absolutely loves it and I’m so glad this has been her first experience of preschool. They have helped her development and confidence whilst being friendly and approachable for us parents too.
5 stars in all areas! We do focus on personal, social and emotional development, a happy, confident, inquisitive child is a child ready for the world around. Thank you for taking the time to write this, we love to hear how our Crafty Wizards love pre-school. Look out for our Easter treasure hunt at our local park this week. We always try to make learning magical!
I have sent all three of my children to Crafty Wizards World Pre-School and I am always extremely proud of the development that my children have made in their early education. They have all enjoyed their time there and I would highly recommend Crafty Wizards World Pre-School to anyone looking for somewhere to send their children. The staff are wonderful, the facilities and activities are great and most of all the kids have all enjoyed their times there.
Thank you for choosing Crafty Wizards Pre-School, Eltham, 3 times! Thanks you for your praise, we are always aiming to do better. We are shortly having a new log cabin in our outdoor area with a focus on outdoor learning. Watch this space!
My daughter gets so excited every time I say it’s time for nursery. She has gained so much confidence since starting Crafty Wizards World Pre-School; her speech and learning is improving every week and she loves all of her teachers. I think it’s great we receive updates of their progress, especially during Covid, when we have been unable to have the normal one-to-one meetings with the teachers. I am so happy I choose Crafty Wizards and can’t wait to watch my daughter grow and progress there with all the wonderful teachers.
We take parent partnerships seriously, you are your child's life long teacher. Out Magic Circle Time activities daily and phonics sessions help to develop our children's early communication skills. We use simple Makaton signs and symbols at pre-school to support language development. We aim to make...
The staff at Crafty Wizards World Pre-School are second to none and have made my daughter feel very welcome since she started in September. My daughter used to cry on entering the nursery and the staff always took the time to comfort her and make her feel happy. She now loves nursery and asks to go on the days she is at home. A lot of effort is put into the activities they do with the children and there is non stop fun and laughter. I highly recommend Crafty Wizards!
5 stars in all areas! Separating from your child can be an anxious time, it is lovely to hear that your daughter is settled. At Crafty Wizards we have our getting to know your children questionnaire before starting, our settling in booklet so that your child can get familiar with some of the...
My child has settled into this nursery very well. He only started in January, but already feels like part of the family. He enjoys his time there and has become very confident. They communicate very well and have really welcomed us.
5 stars - magic! Thank you for taking the time to write this. We are a small pre-school, not a large corporate chain, we have around 20 children in a session and we think that this makes us have the personal touch. Look out for our Easter treasure hunt at our local park. We have strong links with the community, complete the treasure hunt and collect a free egg at the park cafe.
I can't recommend Crafty Wizards enough. Our daughter adores attending and her skills and learning has increased significantly, but still in a fun and play-related way to learn. The teachers at Crafty Wizards focus on lots of outdoor time, messy play, they give certificates for sharing and kindness, and they never fail to smile or bring happiness to my daughter's days. Every day at Crafty Wizards is different, with toys well curated and brought out in advance for specific types of play or learning. There are no 'standard' days there; my daughter is always excited to find out what they will be doing each day when she goes. The preschools are relatively small so children are not one of many and get good levels of attention and care from the teachers.
We are so pleased that your daughter is always excited to find out what we will be offering the children, that we never fail to bring a smile to your daughter and that she has progressed in her learning. We are a small pre-school, around 20 children in a session, we think that we are small enough...
My daughter started at Crafty Wizards in January. I was nervous as she is an only child and 2020 had, like for many, led to more time spent with mummy and daddy, at home. From the moment she first walked in, I knew I shouldn’t have worried, she absolutely loves it (I’m not exaggerating, my daughter informs me daily of how much she loves it). The staff are wonderful and the setting is absolutely perfect. My daughter has grown so much in the 4 weeks she has been attending. We honestly couldn’t be happier. Thank you Crafty Wizards team.
We are very happy that you are happy. Our magical ingredients to make learning magical through creativity are: 1. You, the lifelong teacher of your child. 2. Our dedicated Wise Wizards (staff). 3. Our Crafty Wizards (children)! It is lovely to read that, although you were anxious, your daughter...
