Son loves going to nursery everyday!

Regular updates throughout the day allow me to see what he has been up to.

We are fortunate enough to have 2 kids raised by the thoughtful, caring, passionate and friendly staff and management at Winchmore Hill Nursery. The progressive learning opportunities have given our children an open mind and a head start at school. Children are also taught to be kind and fair, generous
and worldly, and it shines through in everyday life.


I could not recommend them highly enough.

I am so glad I chose The Winchmore Hill Day Nursery for my son's early years education. It took a little while for him to settle in, but with the care and support of all staff, he soon settled in and now loves going to preschool. Seeing how much he has excelled since starting in January 2023 is amazing.
The staff go over and beyond for him, and it’s a joy to see.

Our two daughters have recently joined the nursery and we have had an amazing experience so far. They have settled in very well thanks to the lovely staff. They are having so much fun at the nursery and there are always new and creative activities for them to do every day. We are always being updated
with their learning journeys and feel that so much attention and thought has been put into everything they do. I would highly recommend Winchmore Hill Day Nursery

I highly recommend Winchmore Hill Preschool. Our child was unhappy at other nurseries he had attended and the difference at this one is that the staff really care about the children. I truly feel they care about his wellbeing and emotions. Making sure to greet them at the door every morning and accompany
them to their room and bringing them out for a one on one chat with the parents at the end of every day. They do so many amazing activities with them that I would never be able to fulfil with him at home with dedicated art class and yoga. We are so happy we have a safe, loving place for him to be all day while we are working.

We are both thrilled with the care, attention and encouragement our child receives at The Winchmore Hill Preschool. We were automatically welcomed from the moment she came in and made to feel at ease. They are well equipped with a range of toys and activities to keep her happy and engaged! Everyone
is incredibly friendly and the constant communication via the app to keep us informed on what they have been doing but equally, our child's progress week on week, is even more than we hoped for. We cannot recommend this nursery highly enough and feel lucky that we were able to secure our child a place here. We both feel completely confident leaving them in the capable hands of the staff. Thank you!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter is currently in the rising 3’s room at The Winchmore Hill Preschool and has been attending the nursery since she was 9 months old.
My daughter adores nursery and without fail is excited to attend every session.
Online updates and pictures give me a glimpse into her education where I can
see it is full of creative and imaginative play, giving her a solid grounding and allowing her to meet her EYFS targets.
The nursery staff work in a collegiate manner with every member of staff knowing my daughter's name and stage of development in the necessary detail. Each morning she is greeted at the door with a smile and a hug. Staff are keen to hear updates from me and are quick to act should I need help or support in my role as her mother.
I recommend the nursery without any hesitations.

We have been very pleased with the care our child has received since starting at the nursery. The staff are knowledgeable and caring, they take into consideration children's interests and plan fun and engaging activities. They get to know the children well and communicate with families well. The children
are kept safe and the setting is well resourced and kept clean and tidy. The recent Ofsted inspection shows a true reflection of a wonderful setting! Would definitely recommend!

Our son is 14 months old and has been attending Winchmore Hill Preschool since he was 11 months old. The staff are so wonderful with him, he's cared for so well, and as a parent, I feel totally confident leaving him (which seemed terrifying at first!). I feel so lucky that he is able to attend and he
has truly built a wonderful, genuine relationship with his key worker and the staff. He's always happy when I pick him up. I would 100% recommend this Preschool. I love that the details of his day are uploaded to his care diary, along with key milestones, and pictures of what he's been doing that week - really makes me feel like I'm not missing out on anything.

My daughter has been attending Winchmore Hill Preschool since she was 1 year old. She was 10 weeks premature at birth. The nursery has cared for my daughter exceptionally well. Addressing her individual needs in relation to her prematurity and development. The staff were very caring towards her in a
genuine way. I have always trusted their care. I could not have placed her in better care. She is now 2.5 years old and enjoys attending nursery. I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

I started my journey of looking for a nursery for my son. I went to a lot of viewings around the area and saw many nurseries, but nothing felt right until I came across The Winchmore Hill Nursery (Three Little Birds) which was not only convenient and close by to where I lived, but every single member
of staff working there is beyond outstanding. They work together, work extremely hard and provide the best possible care to all the children there. I was amazed at the level of professionalism with the education provided with the extra activities and the food menu, the parents' app to see how you child is developing with detailed explanations and pictures, to see what projects they are working on etc. I have spoken to many parents and families and I have yet to come across someone that disagrees with everything I have mentioned. Ultimately, I take my hat off to all of the hardworking staff that are trained to such high standards that is unmatched in North London.

Before moving to the area and selecting Winchmore Hill Preschool, our son was at a nursery that was part of a well known, large chain. We were happy with our previous nursery but Winchmore Hill Preschool takes care, learning and creativity to the next level. The staff are always available, helpful and
responsive. The communication is excellent. The activities for children are varied and incredibly stimulating, supporting high levels of creativity and learning. We are extremely impressed. Our son loves the nursery and is filled with enthusiasm. We couldn't be happy with Winchmore Hill Preschool.

Our two girls have been at the Winchmore Hill Preschool for almost a year now. My eldest moved from another nursery which I thought would be difficult for her but all the staff here were extremely helpful and kind when settling her in making the experience enjoyable. My youngest struggled with the separation
and again the staff were extremely comforting. The girls have been so happy here, they love going in every day and adore their teachers. The activities and facilities are superb. Especially the art room. They eat well so the food must be great!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.716)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.716) out of 10 for The Winchmore Hill Day Nursery 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 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 4.912 for The Winchmore Hill Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (200 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.912
  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 4.804 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Winchmore Hill Day Nursery is based on 18 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 112 number of registered child places is 22.4. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.4 = 0.804
  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.
