The Wandsworth Preschool

Our child has been attending the Wandsworth preschool for over a month, as parents we very pleased and grateful that our child is at a preschool where the management is consistent and all the staff are very friendly, experienced, professional, caring, attentive and happy.

We like what they have to offer each child in terms of learning and development, the open space, the Edible Sensory Play Ideas For Children that put everything in their mouths because it encourages children to explore, discover and learn.

The preschool is spotless, nurturing and a happy environment for any child to be in. Our child looks forward to going to the preschool three days a week.

They regularly update our child’s progress via their online Tapestry system and at the end of each day we are given a review in regards to what our child has done for the day. We can also keep up with the daily activities by logging onto IWatch. Which reassures us, as parents, that our child is well taken care of while at the preschool.

We have been sending our child to The Wandsworth Pre-School for 4 months and are so far truly delighted. We visited all the nurseries in the area before choosing The Wandsworth Pre-School and although were impressed with its excellent facilities, what sold it to us was the staff- they are incredibly professional and enthusiastic but above all, are very warm and loving and I know that my child is having their emotional needs met as well as educational ones. We are always greeted with a big smile and my child goes very willingly. I can then keep up with the daily activities by logging onto IWatch, their online viewing service. At pick-up, I am given a detailed review of the day, including foods eaten and why my child’s clothes were changed. The staff constantly liaise with me about my child’s routine, foods and little niggles (e.g. nappy rash) so I feel like we are working together for the good of my child. The food is also excellent (and they have supported us doing baby led weaning). Cannot recommend enough.

This is a fantastic nursery and I was so relieved when I found them as all of the other nurseries I had visited, left me feeling sad about leaving my daughter there and believing that my expectations had been too high. However, this nursery had everything I was looking for, a high adult to child ratio, warm and friendly staff who genuinely focused on my daughter and got to know her quickly, a high level of training and professionalism without feeling formal and stuffy as well as a beautiful, spacious, bright, immaculate and stimulating space. Although for us, the most important thing was the adults' attitude towards our daughter and the amount of focus she would receive, I was really impressed by the range of activities on offer and the opportunities that children have to be exposed to so many different types of experiences including art class, science lab, music room (with stage!) and lovely outside space. They also hold really sweet family events e.g. at Halloween and Christmas.

We are very happy to recommend The London Preschool. Our 3.5 year old son has autism and is happy and thriving in a wonderful and supportive environment.

The nursery has a very calm, sociable, and relaxed atmosphere. The staff have made a huge effort to include our son in all the activities and ensure the appropriate SEN support is in place. We can't fault the facilities, safeguarding and cleanliness of the nursery.

We're so pleased with how well he has settled in and wouldn't choose anywhere else.

Staff are personable with an infectious family feel with professionalism - key to our baby already forming strong attachments to her Mentor, the assistant(s) and the Principle, because of this,
our 7-month baby settled within a day! The staff complete/share a detailed sheet of baby’s day. They also log photos, videos with notes bi-weekly onto Tapestry online, assessing baby using the EYFS statements and record her progress on an online Learning Journey, as well as verbally discussing baby’s pursuits at the end of each day. The cameras allow us to watch in real-time, as well as monitor the care first hand. The fingerprint technology access for the front entrance/nursery is very reassuring. Baby learns in the baby room, outside in the garden and in the sensory room, which has helped her good progress. The nursery has a specialised massage teacher who comes to teach baby massage weekly. Babys Mentor and assistant have gently begun to help baby know right from wrong and to use good manners.

We were incredibly fortunate to find The Wandsworth Preschool for our daughter. (aged 18 months) Apart from being extremely high-tech (parents fingerprint access, CCTV, electronic daily updates or progress) they also offer so much more- all with a focus on development and wellbeing. The staff are absolutely wonderful who genuinely care about the little ones and spend time with the parents to understand their preferences for the child's needs. The brand new, well-designed facilities (inside and out) are a welcome sight every morning to children and parents alike.
