My daughter has been at Hungry Caterpillar's for 15 months now and absolutely loves it, she has progressed really well. The staff and management are professional, friendly, kind, caring and understanding. I receive daily updates via an app, as well as progress reports and I love the regular photos I receive on activities. I appreciated all of the efforts the team put into keeping things running during the pandemic and the communication with parents during this time.
Thank you so much for taking time to share your feeback on the nursery with us. It means so much to the team to know their hard work, care and passion is recognised and has an impact on the children.

An amazing day nursery! Fantastic and friendly staff and manager. Secure and safe environment. My child really enjoys attending here. The nursery also provides regular feedback on child development and information about the activities my daughter participates in and the snack and food she has each time. I have absolutely no worries about the care provided.

My son started during lockdown, so I can only judge from my son’s behaviour and my interactions with the staff at the gate. I trust the staff to be caring and professional. From my dealings with them, they seem to really care for the children. They also organised lots of nice activities like an Easter egg hunt and even a take away breakfast for Mum's for Mother’s Day. My son is always running to nursery, he loves it, I’d say even more than the previous one. I think they take him outside to play a bit more often than at his previous nursery, which suits him well. Just a note about the settling in period, which is free, the child can only spend two hours at the time during settling in, meaning you need to arrange childcare separately for that period or take two weeks off work. At his previous nursery the settling in was ramped up with days getting longer and longer. It wasn’t free but suited full time working parents better with a child already used to full time nursery.
Thank you for leaving us a review of our Hanwell nursery. We will take your feedback under consideration.
Very friendly and professional staff. Great management. My child loves activities inside and outside. I'm very pleased with my child's overall progress. She's happy there and that's very important for me. Highly recommended. Thank you and all the best.

We couldn’t be more pleased with Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - Hanwell and couldn’t recommend it more to anyone looking for a nursery in the area. Our son has been attending the nursery for 6 months now and seems to really enjoy his time there. The staff are super friendly and have a great rapport with the children. The communication with parents is fantastic and staff always take the time to provide some feedback at the end of the day. Our son seems really happy at Hungry Caterpillar and we feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful nursery.
Thank you for leaving us such a lovely review. We are so glad your son has settled into the nursery life and have created those great relationships with the staff.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough. It is probably the best one if not one of the best in Hanwell. The staff are brilliant, like an extended family.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. It is probably the best one if not one of the best in Hanwell. The staff are brilliant, like an extended family. The level of care is superb and facilities for the children excellent. They have a lot of indoor space, outdoor gardens are lovely and activities plus year-round events for the children. The meals are great and you are kept up to date with your child’s progress during the day through the online portal. Both of my children gained confidence and social skills here and absolutely loved it. Highly recommended!
The manager is nice and a good person - helpful and understanding.

I love the nursery. The staff are so friendly and helpful. My kids love the nursery. They keep me informed of what's going on with my kids like what activities they have been doing and what they have eaten. I couldn't ask for a better nursery.

Our child absolutely loves Hungry Caterpillars Hanwell, and so do we. The staff are great, approachable and very friendly, be it just for a chat or discussing details of our child's development. Our child has built great bonds with both the staff and other children within the nursery and loves...
Pre-Covid the nursery put on several events throughout the year for parents to come along and get involved with their kids for an afternoon and we are looking forward to these returning once Covid restrictions ease. I also have to say the nursery's response to the initial lockdown and the level of communication we had around what was happening, and the opportunity to feedback on was fantastic.
This really is a great nursery with fantastic hardworking staff.
Thank you for taking the time to review the nursery. We really appreciate the kind words.
So happy with this nursery and the level of childcare they provide. As a very anxious mum, I was worried about sending my son to nursery so young but he loves it there. The staff are so nice and always make time to update me on my son's development and answer my questions.

Overall the nursery is good and a nice environment, supportive and nurturing. The caregivers can be little proactive to children’s needs.

My son has settled so well at Hungry Caterpillar Hanwell and really looks forward to going despite being quite a clingy child. It is such a relief to know that the team make him feel welcome and supported. He loves the outside space and I am encouraged that the children go out to play in the...
