Review from N T (Father of Child) published on 21 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our youngest child joined Seahorse at 9 months old based on recommendations from friends as to the care their children had received. We were initially worried to have him join at such a young age, but the staff have been incredibly patient and welcoming with him. He was quick to settle (quicker than our eldest child with another provider) and enjoys the range of activities he is participating in on a daily basis. We have seen significant leaps in his development in a short space of time and look forward to watching him grow in a safe and welcoming environment.

Review from Kate B (Mother of Child) published on 21 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We can't recommend this nursery highly enough. Both of our boys attended over the past four years. The biggest reason we stayed was the incredible staff. They are caring, dedicated, and genuinely invested in each child's wellbeing and development. They created such a warm, nurturing environment where both of our boys felt safe, happy, and excited to learn.
The preschool year was especially valuable in preparing our eldest for the transition to primary school. We noticed a real difference in his confidence, independence, and readiness to learn. The variety of activities on offer, including tennis, Mr Ed Music, and Forest School, gave the children fantastic opportunities to explore new interests and learn through play.

Watching both of our boys grow in confidence, make wonderful friendships, and thrive during their time here has been so special. We are incredibly grateful to all of the staff for the love, support and care they have shown our family over the years. Thank you.

Overall Experience
We enrolled our son in Seahorse after he transitioned from another nursery at the age of three, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming and supportive, making it easy for him to settle in, make new friends, and adapt to his new environment.
The nursery offers a fantastic range of activities and enrichment programmes, including French, tennis, and Forest School, which our son thoroughly enjoyed. He looked forward to going every day, and we always picked him up happy, excited, and full of stories about his day.

We are so grateful for the care and support he received and would highly recommend this nursery to any family.

Review from Hannah B (Mother of Child) published on 8 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both of our daughters have had the most wonderful start to childcare at seahorse and we couldn't recommend it more highly.
The environment is calm and nurturing, with a lovely balance of structured activities and free, imaginative play. Our eldest particularly loves forest school, where time outdoors has sparked her creativity, and both girls have thrived on the art, crafts and messy play on offer. The staff are consistently kind, patient and caring, and have gone above and beyond in so many ways, including supporting us through potty training.
The daily app updates are great to give an insight into your child's day and something to chat about with them when they get home. The nursery also puts real effort into marking special moments throughout the year: sports day, photo day, Mother's and Father's Day celebrations which are good fun and the children prepare for and get excited about.

We're sad to be leaving as our eldest starts school, but she is more than ready given seahorse motto

Overall Experience

Our baby daughter joined Seahorse Nursery at 10 months old and it was the best decision we could have made for her from a care, development and happiness perspective. The staff in the Starfish Room, and the wider Seahorse team, have filled us with confidence from day one. They have formed a beautiful relationship with our girl which is evident every time we drop her off and pick her up. We also appreciate the special events which Seahorse run for the children and their parents, like Father's Day and Mother's Day breakfasts, Sports Day and much more. We are grateful to everyone at Seahorse for the time, energy and love which they continue to put into our little one.

Review from J B (Mother of Child) published on 1 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We moved our then 18m old toddler to Seahorse which we were initially a little nervous about with settling him in to a whole new environment.
We needn't Have worried as the staff are excellent at what they do, genuinely caring and nothing seems to phase them. When we drop him off in the morning, he strolls in and sits down for breakfast. At the end of the day when we pick him up, he wants to stay because he loves it so much!
We can see his confidence growing every day and he's just so happy!
The activities and learning opportunities are brilliant and we know our son is learning new things all the time.

We would recommend Seahorse to anybody- the whole team are amazing!

Overall Experience

Excellent nursery, caring staff and amazing manager at the Wimbledon Park branch of Seahorse. Our son loved it and learned so much. We particularly appreciated the nursery's approach to any difficult behaviour (like biting or fighting which all toddlers do), as they sought root causes for it and supported through the change. They also help identify strengths in each of the children and make them grow and develop.

Reply from Shefali Shekhar, Manager at Seahorse Nursery - Wimbledon Park Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your lovely review! Your kind words mean a lot, and we love hearing how happy you are with the nursery. You've been such wonderful parents to work with, thank you for all your support. We can't wait to welcome your litle girl into the Seahorse family.

Review from Scott S (Father of Child) published on 6 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We recently left seahorse Wimbledon park after 4 full years. Both of our children attended nursery there and we were very sad to leave. My daughter had a wonderful experience throughout and left ready for reception. We always felt that she was loved and cared for. We were so impressed with how the teachers tried to ensure her learning was tailored to her growth so that she never felt bored, even after 2 full years in the reception room. She loved it. Unfortunately we had to move our son awa, due to logistic reasons and it was truly sad for us. He absolutely loved and adored his teachers and we felt the same for him in return. He asks about them regularly! Seahorse felt like a loving and nurturing environment and we were very happy for our children to have been there!

Reply from Carly Wray, Area Manager at Seahorse Nursery - Wimbledon Park Day Nursery

Thank you so much Scott for your review. We loved having P & A at the nursery and hope they both thrive in their next places of education. It was wonderful to have you with Seahorse.

Overall Experience

Our son joined Seahorse just after he turned two, and he's in the Sea Turtle room. We were a bit nervous at first about how he would settle but the transition was smooth thanks to the lovely teachers and staff. His key worker is amazing and he absolutely adores her.

The team in his room are all so warm, caring, and patient and it shows in how happy and confident he is when we drop him off and pick him up.

There are plenty of activities during the day and the children seem well engaged and enjoy a nice variety of things to do. We've also found the support with things like potty training and routines really helpful, as it has made a big difference for us at home too.

Overall, we've had such a positive experience with Seahorse. It's a lovely place with a wonderful team who genuinely care about the children. We feel really lucky that our son gets to spend his early years here.

Reply from Carly Wray, Area Manager at Seahorse Nursery - Wimbledon Park Day Nursery

Dear G, thank you so much for your absolutely wonderful review. We enjoy having O with us at Seahorse and hope to see him thrive even more throughout his time here. Best wishes, Carly

Review from M S (Mother of Child) published on 16 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Seahorse is outstanding nursery where all staff and teachers are professional and caring every child with love. Our daughter has been there for two years and loved to go there so much and even asking to go to nursery during weekends and holidays. The waiting list was long but considering the quality of care and education your child will receive, it is totally understandable and worth to wait. Our daughter was in different nursery for a short time and we were happy with them but as soon as started Seahorse, the difference was clear. Seahorse teachers are educators and everyday they prepare several purposeful as well as fun activities for the group of children. There are daily and termly feedbacks which are detailed and structured so that you can track how your child develop in different area. I strongly recommend Seahorse as it was wonderful to be part of and we feel it was a great gift to send our daughter there.

Overall Experience

My daughter started at Seahorse nursery in July 2024 aged 1. She attends 4 days a week and absolutely loves going each day. The staff always welcome her affectionately and she has no problem saying goodbye to me in the morning! They have taken time to get to know her and it's clear that each child is appreciated for their individuality within the caring nursery community. There has been a wide range of activities which are well thought out and has helped her in her early years development. The nursery staff are very sensitive, responsive and channels of communication with the family are excellent. I would absolutely recommend Seahorse nursery to any parent!

Review from H S (Father of Child) published on 12 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been attending Seahorse since he was three years old, and it's now been almost a year. Because he isn't a native English speaker, my wife and I were worried about how he would settle into nursery. During his first month there, he often told us, "I don't want to go to nursery," but within a month he'd become a huge fan. Thanks to the teachers' thoughtfulness and care, he was able to adjust to nursery life very quickly.

Moreover, they run systematic daily programs such as forest walks, singing, arts and crafts, and so on. These activities are perfectly suited to young children, so my son loves them. The nursery also uploads lots of photos to the app, allowing us to see what he's been doing at nursery. It helps us talk with him about his day at home.

Reply from Kaz Petruskeviciene, Deputy Manager at Seahorse Nursery - Wimbledon Park Day Nursery

Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We're so happy to hear your child became a fan of the nursery and enjoyed his time in Seahorse Wimbledon Park. We wish him all the best in his further learning journey!

As always with any nursery it really comes down to the staff and the team at Seahorse are exceptional. Caring, competent and are absolutely adored by my two girls.

I've never once felt anxious dropping them off in the morning as I know they are in the best of hands. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to give their child a happy and accelerated start in life. Thank you!

Overall Experience

Our son has been at Seahorse Nursery Wimbledon Park (Starfish Room) since March 2024. The staff are friendly, caring, fun, knowledgeable and supportive. We get updates on an app, showing what our son is up to. We also get a detailed summary from the teachers when we pick him up. The activities are varied (baking, music, yoga, reading, drawing, walking around the park, messy play) and the themes change every term. The nursery invites parents over fot key dates (Mother, Father, and Grandparents' days, but also Sports day, Splatter Matters day, and a day where parents can make a class demonstration). The nursery has recently offered a First Aid course for parents, which was extremely helpful. We've also been able to meet other parents in the area and arrange play dates. Seahorse Nursery is where our child spends most of his time every weekday, and so far, we're very happy with it and feel like partners in his development. Area for improvement: buggy storage.

Could not be more positive about Seahorse Nursery. The staff are amazingly friendly; they create an envirnment which has enable our child to thrive. To see the genuine excitment when he arrives in the morning is amazing. The variety provided for the children is amazing - tennis, French, music, yoga, forest school - the food provided is brilliant, and then there is Seahorse club - amazing programe to start introducing the children to phonics, maths, hand writing and critical thinking.
A really stimulating environment, with a well thought out curriculum and excellent delivery. The kids love it and an amazing place for them to build friendships.

The relationship the kids build with the staff is clear to see as well.

Both my kids, aged 2 and 4, love going to nursery in the mornings. They have been going since they were babies and I have always felt that I left them in very capable and loving hands. The staff there are wonderful and really care about your child. They do various stimulating activities. From science experiments to tennis lessons and art, I am often amazed by the things they learn and feel that they do much more with them within a day that I ever would've been able to do with them at home.

My sons have attended Seahorse nursery since 2021. The staff that I have daily interactions with are outstanding. The care that they have given my boys over the years has been wonderful. You can see and feel the love.

Not only have my sons been cared for and nurtured they have grown in confidence and developed into well-rounded little people. The activities that they provide from Forest School to French to all the themes and holidays that they really go all out celebrating is second to none. It has been a joy to send my children there and we really will miss them when my son graduates.
