Review from Jennifer V (Mother of Child) published on 17 July 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been at Hatching Dragons for about 6 months now, and it has been so lovely watching him grow under the guidance of the nursery. We originally chose Hatching Dragons because we really wanted a bilingual nursery, but it quickly became apparent that we were also putting him in a nursery with
the most amazing staff. We do not have any family in London, so the nursery became our son's second home. We have loved all the care and attention everyone has given to our son and we can tell that everyone is there because they truly love working with children. Our son has learned so much through the nursery's many activities - from sensory exploration through messy play to physical exploration at parks, and of course, Mandarin with the nursery's Mandarin speaking staff. We also love the digital diary they provide, which allows us to quickly get daily updates, as well as skills progression, on our son. We would highly recommend this nursery!

My daughter has been attending Hatching Dragons since Oct 2018. She attends the morning sessions five days a week and has developed close relationships with the other children at the nursery as well as the staff members (all of whom she adores).


Her language skills have improved dramatically, thanks

in part to the warm and professional people at the nursery - she tries to converse with her Chinese grandmother in Mandarin (to her grandmother's delight) despite us not speaking Mandarin at home.


The nursery is very engaged with the parents and we get regular/daily feedback (and photos). Both the facilities and the staff are wonderful and I would not hesitate to recommend them to other parents. Note that (like many other nurseries we visited) Hatching Dragons does not have a dedicated outside space, but the staff take the children out to the nearby parks and playgrounds.

Nursery is amazing. Staff caring and attentive. My son's vocabulary has expanded there.
The only thing that is inconvenient is that the nursery does not have an outside space and the staff have to push the kids in prams to the nearest parks.
Overall I love the nursery and staff and I think they do
an amazing job there!

Great staff, management. My daughter loves her time at Hatching Dragons. Her Mandarin and English are both excellent since joining the nursery one year ago. Thank you Hatching Dragons.

Our daughter is full time and on a daily basis, we see the changes in her development and the enjoyment she has at the nursery. The staff are very approachable and you can see the love they have for the children and the children have with them.


All the children interact with each other which we see

as a benefit to our daughter. She is looking at what the older children are doing and trying to copy, which we see aids her development.


The nursery has no outside space but this is countered by daily visits to several different parks within a short distance from the nursery. To us this more than compensates for not having a dedicated space.

Me and my daughter both like nursery very much.
We felt like we've joined a big family since the first day. The teachers are all very friendly and my daughter has learnt so much since then. We would like to stay longer.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Hatching Dragons Westminster is a happy, friendly nursery that both my children (aged 2 and 10 months) love going to. They are so fond of all the staff who are very kind to them and show so much care and enthusiasm for their wellbeing and development. Every day the kids are taken out to the park to
play and run around and they are fed healthy food and snacks. I feel like my children have picked up a lot of skills and come home with improved language after being at nursery and my son is always excited to tell me about the different activities they have done, such as messy play, building towers, singing songs. I'm delighted we found this community and would recommend the nursery to anyone.

We still remember the first time we dropped off our child at Hatching Dragon Westminster. We were surely nervous, we weren't sure if he'd like it if the staff would treat him well or do they just treat it like a job. We started off putting him there on a 3 full days a week, but soon enough we realised
that he enjoys being there much more than being at home and hence we have increased his hours to full time. His key person has done an exceptional job and I can see that they treat not only him, but indeed all their children with their hearts, love and professionalism. I remember one day, he was rather itchy and I suggested to give him antihistamines. Surely it's an easy enough task for them to do, but instead, they asked why we think he needs it and asked if we are okay for them to observe a little while and provide it to him if he actually needs it. It showed that all staff at Hatching Dragon Westminster are not only professional but they try their best to provide the best for these toddlers.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been at the nursery for ten months now and he loves it. The staff are all incredibly caring and warm and because it’s such a small place, they all know him really well.
He’s doing loads of activities at nursery including lots of messy play and art which he really enjoys. The nursery is brand
new and really clean and calm - not overwhelming or chaotic. The Mandarin element is also really important to us. He’s not speaking much yet but it’s clear he understands a lot of Mandarin. I can tell he’s learning lots and more importantly, having fun.
We love the online updates. We get daily diaries and frequent development updates. It’s great to hear what he’s been up to during the day and know exactly what hours he slept to help with bedtime etc. It’s really reassuring. In terms of improvement, even more, and better quality photos would be great (can never get enough photos!) Also my son loves the food, but it would be amazing to get more Chinese food served for them!

Very good experience to date. My daughter is clearly thriving in this environment. All the staff are very approachable and we know she is in excellent hands. We enjoy reading her progress in the online daily diary, although sometimes the photos are very blurry.

Review from Young S (Mother of Child) published on 21 December 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I've had my one year old here since she was about six months. She absolutely loves it, and we get excited every day when it's time for drop-off and pick-up. The staff have all been so kind. It feels like a family and seems like the staff really enjoy spending time with the children. They send photo
updates through the mobile app, daily updates and they track developmental progress. They invite parents for holiday parties with the children and there are always interesting sensory activities, games, and crafts. The bilingual program is great and my baby started speaking both Mandarin and English words with us at home. The only downside I could say is there is no attached outside space. Some parent friends have said that that's important to them, but I'm okay without it because the location is so convenient and they take the children to a nearby park every day. The quality of care and fun crafts and developmental activities makes up for it in my opinion. Highly recommend!

Current Review Score: 8.0 (7.980)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.0 (7.980) out of 10 for Hatching Dragons Nursery Westminster is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.917 for Hatching Dragons Nursery Westminster is calculated as follows: ( (11 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.917
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.063 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hatching Dragons Nursery Westminster is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 = 3
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 80 number of registered child places is 16. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.063
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
