Overall Experience

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.

Review from Venetia S (Mother of Child) published on 4 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This was our second stab at sending our son to a nursery, after being disappointed with our experience at another local nursery, and it has been a really positive experience.
The staff are lovely, caring and fun and always have smiles on their faces. They seem to genuinely love what they do, and it creates such a great atmosphere in the nursery.
They have all been very helpful and were very kind and supportive during the settling in period too. There is a lovely family feel to the place.
The facilities are also great with a large garden and spacious rooms for the kids to explore, and the nursery is always dressed up in whatever the theme is that the kids are exploring.

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.

Review from K M (Mother of Child) published on 13 January 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Kerry B (Mother of Child) published on 4 November 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I can not recommend this nursery enough. After having to remove our daughter from another local nursery, due to a number of concerns, the staff here have been so supportive of transitioning my daughter to the nursery. She is two and a half years old, and they have been so attentive and supportive to her needs as well as helping to alleviate my worries as a parent. The staff are fully engaged in providing high-quality care to the children, the facilities, and breadth of activities provided are excellent. Food, in particular, is of a great standard. The management is totally on top of things, they run a tight ship and are really friendly and approachable. They also organise lots of family activities etc.

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

Review from Monica L (Mother of Child) published on 3 October 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from S A (Mother of Child) published on 17 September 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My three year old has been going to this nursery for almost a year now. We moved her from a forest nursery and worried about her day being more structured and indoors but she far prefers this nursery and its much more flexible and convenient for me as a working mum. Their outdoor space is great and they often have lessons outside.
As the class sizes are small, she is far more familiar with the other children, creating a cosy, warm atmosphere that she really enjoys.
The nursery management put on events, even at weekends that allow the parents to meet and mingle which is great for arranging playdates locally and enhancing the friendships she builds up there.

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!

Review from Shreen A (Mother of Child) published on 17 May 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Emma B (Mother of Child) published on 30 April 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Claire H (Mother of Child) published on 6 March 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Thomas J (Father of Child) published on 19 January 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Andrew B (Father of Child) published on 27 October 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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.

Review from A O (Mother of Child) published on 18 October 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.
