One member of staff, with her unparalleled warmth, has been a beacon of encouragement and care for my son. Her approach to teaching goes beyond instruction; she genuinely connects with the children, and this connection has made my son look forward to each day at the nursery.
Then there's another member of staff, whose sing-along sessions have become the highlight of his week. The sheer joy and excitement on my son's face as he joins in the musical escapades are priceless. Her ability to make every song resonate with fun and enthusiasm ensures that the little ones are always engaged and entertained.
It was heartwarming to see my son flourish and grow in such a nurturing environment.
In the vast sea of choices available in London, Maggie & Rose stand out! A cherished part of our son’s early years.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review and the incredibly kind words about our team. We are proud to have such a passionate and hardworking team who form such caring relationships with the children in their care.
My daughter has had an excellent experience at Maggie and Rose Kensington. We have seen her develop immensely, learning a broad vocabulary and enjoying learning through activities, arts, crafts and messy play, as well as make some fantastic new friends. We did have to push the potty training process a bit, but when we started the team were really proactive and supported my daughter through the process.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Children can enjoy a variety of stimulating activities throughout the nursery day which enables them to develop positive life skills whilst having plenty of fun.
Maggie & Rose Kensington Nursery has been, and continues to be, a wonderful home from home for our daughter. She bounds through their front door every morning and is never anything other than happy there which is the most important thing for us. Her teachers are always enthusiastic and loving towards her and clearly take a great deal of pride in their work and the children's development. They are available to speak to whenever we need and seem to work hard to take our thoughts and desires for our child into consideration. It's not a big nursery with lots of structure - it's warm, welcoming and personal which is what we wanted when choosing a nursery for our daughter. For us, it's been the perfect start for her.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's lovely to hear that your little one is so happy here! Our kind, caring team really take the time to build strong relationships with the children in their care. They are passionate about providing exceptional childcare and education, and helping every child to thrive.
The staff are extremely friendly and my daughter is very happy attending. She does an array of activities including outdoors and is never keen to leave! The nursery is intimate but it makes for a great experience for my daughter as I truly believe it’s a home-from-home.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's lovely to hear that your little one is so happy here! Providing a great variety of indoor and outdoor activities throughout the nursery day is so important. Children are happy, stimulated and engaged whilst enjoying practising important skills like creativity.
Maggie & Rose Kensington Nursery has surpassed my expectations for a nursery experience for my son - they have been loving and caring but also helped his development massively. He has truly flourished there and built amazing relationships with his teachers so we are sad to take him out (due to moving too far away from the nursery).
Maggie & Rose Kensington Nursery have made my sons experience at nursery the best we could have ever asked for. The staff are so caring, each and everyone I’ve met. Making my son feel so welcomed and has helped his confidence so much. He absolutely adores them and has enjoyed spending his days there. The facilities are great with lots of things to help the children learn new things every day and many activities to keep them busy. My son always came home with something new that he’s created. I’m just thankful that we found Maggie & Rose Kensington Nursery. It definitely shows how much the member of staff cares about their job and the children. Big thank you to them. We will miss them all.
Thank you for taking the time to write your review, we are delighted to hear that you are happy with your choice in nursery. The core objective of The Maggie Method is to provide an environment which stimulates enquiry based learning as a third teacher, and reading your review we are grateful to...
In particular, the login website is very advanced with daily updated photos, nappy change times, meal plans (and how much they ate) and chatrooms with staff. We also have the impression that they do lots of different activities with the kids on a daily basis, which really helps them develop.
There is not one single negative point we can think of and we would make the same decision again without any hesitation.
Thank you so much for taking the time to feedback! We are so thrilled to hear such positive reviews of our Kensington setting and feel truly privileged to have your little one as part of our community.
I cannot recommend Maggie & Rose Kensington Nursery highly enough! As a first time mother, I was extremely apprehensive about leaving my eleven month old daughter at nursery and the Maggie & Rose Kensington Nursery team were amazing at making her feel welcome, comfortable and happy in her new surroundings. The facilities and activities they have for the children are second to none. Every day my daughter does something new and exciting, especially playing with paints, arts, crafts and music. She has learnt and developed so much since she started at Maggie & Rose Kensington Nursery. The food is also nutritious and interesting. The team at the nursery are brilliant, you really can sense that they care for the children and my daughter is so excited to see her teachers every day and runs into nursery each morning with a smile on her face. They have a great app that updates the parents throughout the day with lots of pictures and videos, as well as development reports so you feel very involved in your child's day.
We are so thrilled to read this! We pride ourselves on working in partnership with parents to ensure each little one gets the most from their time with us, and it's an absolute privilege to be part of your daughter's learning journey. Thank you for taking time to feedback.
Really fantastic family-oriented nursery, staff are very kind and patient with the children (and parents too!), lots of fun activities to do, great stimulating space where they can get messy as well as learn, my son loves it and always arrives and leaves with a smile on his face!
Thank you for your lovely feedback! It's been a pleasure to have you in our nursery!
My daughter was so happy every day I picked her up from school! She wanted to go every day she loved it so much! The staff are very warm and friendly and keep us in the loop during the day. It's so wonderful!
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We will see you next term!
We absolutely love Maggie & Rose Kensington Nursery. Our daughter is so happy when she is there and the staff is warm, loving and caring. The standards are high, the food of very good quality, its super clean and there is often more than one adult per three children.
Thank you for your lovely feedback! It's been lovely to have you at our nursery!
Lovely nursery with an even lovelier staff. My daughter has been very happy here and has blossomed under their care. Would highly recommend it!
Wonderful nursery. They were able to accept and accommodate our family at a moments notice. My son had developed and made lots of progress in the month that he has been there.
In particular, my daughter loves the manager. One day, when I came to pick her up, she was sitting next to her at the reception. I am very grateful that she is supporting my daughter in a heartwarming way, with strange children and adults in the nurseries.
Lovely nursery. My little one joined this term and we have been very happy so far. The staff are friendly and flexible. The manager was great from day one, helping our little one settle in.
Thank you for your lovely review.
I am really happy with Maggie & Rose Kensington Nursery. The manager is very competent and very accommodating for all of my daughter’s needs.
Healthy food is very important to me and the nursery goes out of their way to cook healthy unprocessed meals. My daughter also follows a sugar-free pescatarian diet and this is always accommodated for without hesitation.
I love the individual attention provided as the nursery is small and friendly and my daughter has really bonded with both the manager and her key worker and gets upset when I come to pick her up!
They are very accommodating with last minute extra sessions or changes of plan. The nursery also often take the children on trips such as to hold chicks or to the library which are always conducted safely and in small numbers.
Couldn’t be happier with the nursery and is definitely my preferred form of childcare for my daughter.
Thank you for your lovely review.
The new nursery manager has been friendly and professional in her interaction with us and some of the other nursery staff have been very nice with our girls.
Thank you for your lovely review.
I am so happy I enrolled my daughter at Maggie & Rose. When my daughter had first started, one lady there made me feel very comfortable and I was so happy with the attention and care she was giving to my child. This lady left for maternity leave and I started to feel a little anxious although all other staff members were just as lovely. However, I was so lucky that the manager joined the nursery just as our lady left. The manager is doing a wonderful job, her communication skills are exceptional. She is very supportive understanding and she is solution driven. I am truly satisfied with the care and attention given to my daughter by all staff members, but especially by two particular ladies. My daughter is happy, her English has truly improved and she has learnt a lot for her age. I am very proud.
Thank you for your lovely review.
Maggie & Rose has surpassed all my expectations as a nursery for my son. I couldn’t be happier with them. The staff are fantastic, very friendly and keep my son entertained all day long. The facilities are great and the menu is very varied including lots of healthy options. They also helped him settle in very quickly and now he doesn’t want to leave! I feel very happy dropping him off there and confident that he will have a wonderful time.
Maggie & Rose Kensington Family Club & Nursery is a lovely family members club as it offers a variety of classes - cooking lessons, art classes, a soft-play area, a playroom and a cafe (all organic and very healthy)
I am very pleased with the Nursery - staff are professional and very personal. All the mothers and nannies seem to know each other and Maggie greets all adults and children by name.
