Overall Experience

Amazing staff and environment, my son has loved starting at Hanwell Nursery and I can see a huge progress in all aspects from him being there, we are very grateful for all the work they are doing for his education, encouragement and enjoyment, and he’s talking so much more since started there, they are great with giving updates how he done each day and online, he loves to play outside in the fun outdoor areas and activities inside, lots of learning and supplied snacks, the staff are so professional and friendly, every member of staff knows him by name and personally, he is so happy when I drop him off and pick him up, it’s much appreciated.

Review from Jade H (Mother of Child) published on 19 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter took a while to settle but the team really went above and beyond to settle her in and make her feel comfortable. Even now, they greet her with a warm and enthusiastic welcome every time she arrives.
Since starting at the nursery my daughter has come on leaps and bounds - she is standing, babbling away and much more confident around adults and other babies.
I also love the little updates you get throughout the day - I really look forward to these.

I’m so grateful for the team’s efforts - you are all angels as far as I’m concerned - in the way you take care of our precious babies! But especially her key person, who has more energy than anyone I’ve ever met. I’m so happy my daughter has bonded with her so well, I feel totally reassured about her happiness and safety. Thank you so much.

We love Hungry Caterpillars! We send two children there (our daughter who is 17 months and our son who is nearly 4). The staff are really lovely, caring and always open to talking through any concerns. Both kids absolutely love it there and actually sometimes don't want to leave!

All staff are amazing and very welcoming. My child had a difficult start to her nursery journey and all staff ensured both myself and my child were accommodated at all times.

My child loves her time at nursery and is very happy and comfortable with her daily activities.

Overall Experience

We feel really lucky to send our kids (2 and 4) to this gorgeous nursery. The staff go above and beyond to make our kids feel at home, and are always happy to chat through any concerns. Although drop-offs can be tricky, it’s heartening to see that neither kid wants to leave at pick-up! All the nursery kids are very sweet and kind. The nursery seems to instil that in them.

My daughter loves going to nursery and comes home happy and tells us what activities she’s been doing whilst attending nursery. Staff are very friendly towards parents. It’s my daughter's last year in Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - Hanwell so it’s a shame she’s leaving.
