Review from Belinda O (Mother of Child) published on 9 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Maggie & Rose is a fantastic nursery. My daughter absolutely loves it. The staff are very friendly, and empathetic and caring towards all the children. The facilities are superb, and the weekly menu is delightful. The nursery manager is just lovely and answers any questions promptly. I can’t fault anything!

Review from Tina F (Mother of Child) published on 9 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Maggie & Rose Islington is a wonderful nursery with friendly, engaging staff. The space and the facilities are excellent, with lots of different rooms and activities (music room, art room, kids’ kitchen, and several play rooms). There’s also the adjacent club and cafe, which are great. The kids are extremely happy with their teachers and appear to be learning a lot at every stage of their development. The teachers are quite interactive with the parents, often sending several updates with pictures during the day through the app. They serve excellent food and are kind and engaging with the children. Strongest recommendation from us.

Review from Cordelia (Mother of Child) published on 30 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We've been sending our daughter here since they first opened in February. We've been very happy with all aspects of this nursery, from the layout of the nursery to the food they're fed, which seems very nutritious. The outdoor space is small, however, the children get taken to the park (now with covid restrictions finally being lifted), which I feel makes up for the small outdoor area. The staff are fabulous. They go out of their way for the children and seem to truly care about them. I've been very impressed with their communication with me. My daughter absolutely loves coming here each week.

Review from Chen (Mother of Child) published on 29 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I would highly recommend Maggie & Rose, for so many reasons. This is a happy and stimulating environment with lovely and professional staff. The staff were really supportive and patient during our settlement which wasn't easy. Our son now is so happy and content and we have seen his confidence grow since he started at nursery. He looks forward to going every morning to the nursery and even asks to go on weekends.
