Wandsworth, South London, a GrandirUK Day Nursery

I highly recommend The Wandsworth Pre School. My daughter has developed very much since she joined. The nursery has CCTV, which brings me peace of mind and also updates how my daughter's day is going, which is very helpful for me to plan the rest of her day. The staff is very helpful, and the mentors in her room are very loving. They always have different activities planned and make the parents aware of what is going on and what we can do at home. I can see that my daughter is happy to attend the nursery and her progress is very clear.

They have adapted appropriately and effectively to the Covid situation as well.

I would recommend The Wandsworth Preschool without reservation.

We have been extremely happy with the Wandsworth Preschool over the 2-years we have been with them. I have two daughters attending, and their happiness is obviously the key factor in our choice of school. The staff are lovely, warm and welcoming as well as professional. The management team are approachable and accommodating, and great with communication. The facilities are of a high, impressive standard, with the outdoor play area being a positive drawcard. The meals provided are great, and very rarely am I notified that my girls have not eaten at school. The fact that we have moved further away from the nursery, yet still choose to keep our girls there, is testimony to our happiness and satisfaction with the school.

We moved our 3-year-old daughter to this nursery after the birth of her sibling. Despite all the changes going on, I was impressed with how easily our daughter settled into the nursery and is keen to attend. The staff are great and communicate heaps (an issue we have had at the previous nursery was poor handover), which I am sure led to the smooth transition. Our daughter is super happy here, and that's testimony to the nursery. Happy child, happy life!

Couldn’t recommend it more!

The staff at the Wandsworth Preschool are caring and accommodating with parents and the children alike. They truly care for the children and families and their evolving needs. They are always open to feedback and ideas. I've been particularly impressed at the way they've managed the continuous uncertainty caused by the coronavirus and have been quick to respond to necessary changes, always making sure that everyone's wellbeing is front and centre (kids, parents and staff alike).

Wonderful, talented staff who really care for and look after the kids. Ours has learnt loads (alphabet, counting, yoga, music to name just some) and has a lot of fun too. It feels very safe and a very happy place to be.

The only downside for us is the distance to the nursery, but a compromise we are willing to take to ensure our son is happy.

Thank you, Wandsworth Preschool.

I honestly can’t imagine a better nursery; we have been absolutely delighted to see our daughter flourish due to the outstanding care, creativity and warmth of the Wandsworth Preschool staff. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a safe, nurturing, development-focused environment for their child.

We could not be happier. My daughter is excited to attend nursery every morning, and I know that she is well looked after. I would highly recommend this nursery!

Great nursery, very capable and lovely staff with fair, detailed and well-organised management. Our daughter loves spending time there.

This is the 21st century’s nursery that was purpose-built, it is the best in the area and all in all not that expensive. I like, 1. Chef on-site 2. Many events for existing and new parents 3. A medium-sized garden 4. Finger scan secured door 5. CCTV camera access when it’s great if you have a baby 6. Dedicated arts and music teachers 7. Extracurricular activities like French, Yoga, Sports, Ballet on top of the music and art. 8. Some of the staff are dedicated and the principal is amazing. Areas to improve, A, Organise any outside trips local police, farm, or to the park, that is 100m away. B, In winter the months introduce the indoor 'shoes' policy, it teaches the kids that indoor they should wear slippers and how to put them on and also helps the respiration of their feet. C, There’s AC on-site which is good in summer months but must be taken care of so the temperatures are not freezing or hot (26 was once) and staff need to be able to operate it.

Very happy with Wandsworth Nursery. Excellent in most aspects. Standing out most of all is the quality of staff; I can’t rate them highly enough - friendly, professional and engaging with children and parents alike.

Moving our daughter here was definitely the right decision, there is simply no comparison with our old nursery.

The nursery is very well located for us and our son has been going since he was 9 months (he is now 18 months). He is very happy there and we are impressed with: 1) How clean the nursery is. 2) The outside space that allows him to play sports and run around. 3) The on-site chef and the freshly prepared meals 4) The parental access to the CCTV cameras which shows how well he is treated. 5) Very friendly staff. 6) A variety of activities performed with the children. Yes it is expensive but it’s worth it to know your child is getting the best care and having fun at the same time.

My child joined the nursery when it first opened. He attends the nursery full time 5 days a week for 1 year and a half now and I only have good things to say about the nursery. The staff is amazing, very attentive, everything is brand new and very cleaned. The nursery has a garden, sports, ballet and yoga lessons. The nursery has the own chef that prepares healthy homemade food. We are very pleased and fully recommend.

What I like the most is the variety and creativity of the activities there. They do music, yoga, ballet and their early learning is arranged as play so they don't realise they are learning. We get a great recap at the end of the day of all their activities and staff and management are excellent. She often doesn't want to leave!

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.
