Days are structured yet fun and imaginative, each week follows an original theme and my daughter is always keen to tell me all about everything she did on the way home! The staff really get to know all of the children well and feedback is always given upon collection. The weekly menus are creative and nutritious and my daughter has transformed from a typical fussy toddler to a fantastic eater. I would highly recommend this nursery, it’s a very fun and nurturing environment that really prepares children, in a non-pressurised way, for the next steps of formal education. I have a very confident, independent, imaginative and thoughtful child which I would certainly thank Maggie & Rose a lot for!
I was really happy with our experience with the nursery at Maggie & Rose. I think that for babies and toddlers Maggie & Rose offers an extremely nurturing, caring environment. The staff are extremely kind and I felt fully confident leaving my son at the nursery and knew he would be extremely well looked after. As it is a small group of children they each get a huge amount of attention and it was a great introduction to the nursery environment for my son.
Thank you for the lovely feedback.
Both of my kids attended the nursery at Maggie & Rose and they were so happy there! The nursery teachers and staff were always so caring. They always had fun activities planned for the week and both my kids thrived. I would highly recommend the nursery, its learning curriculum, the facilities and the management. The entire family had such a great experience that they will continue attending camp during half terms. Overall Outstanding!!
Thank you for the lovely feedback! We loved having both kids at Maggie & Rose.
From the moment I stepped into Maggie & Rose and met the nursery manager, I knew my daughter would be in good hands. It is a calm, nurturing environment with happy children, her home away from home. My daughter admires her teachers who are loving, understanding, skilled and genuinely care about the children’s welfare, social and educational development. A great start to her education!
Thank you for the lovely feedback!
Staff have been very caring and supportive, especially when we just started. I would like to highlight the nursery manager. She is very positive, welcoming and helpful. My daughter loves her very much!
The staff - thank you for your dedication and the great job you are doing!
Thank you for the lovely feedback!

Thank you for the lovely feedback!
The manager was incredible. The best part of the nursery, she made my son feel welcomed and loved and made me extremely safe as a mother. She really cares, and this is shown in the way my son was loving his nursery every morning. Thank you, without you it would have been a completely different experience. A+
Thank you for the lovely feedback!
Very happy with the standards of care. My child feels comfortable in the nursery and is having a good development.
The management team is as great as the careers, very accommodating to any requests.
The nursery manager in particular has given us lots of attention and care. Thank you.
Thank you for the lovely feedback!
Maggie & Rose Kensington is a beautiful brand new nursery with lots of light and outside space. My daughter was one of the first babies to start there and I won't lie, we had a few teething problems at the beginning, which were, however, quickly sorted out and she loved going there. She learned so much during her time there, which was incredible. She started walking, talking in English, singing and eating proper meals with the other kids. The staff are very friendly and loving and being a new nursery the toys were brand new and everything very clean. My daughter was hardly ever ill.
Thank you for the lovely feedback!
