They have weekly visits to the Library for a special story session with the librarian, and the Starfish classroom has access to Whizzy Wonders, who come in for a fun sensory session.

I'd like to sincerely thank the wonderful team at seahorse nursery for the loving care and support they provided to my daughter between the ages of one and two. During a time of many changes, the staff were consistently patient, attentive, and supportive of her emotional needs and confidence building.
We
truly appreciated how the nursery encouraged her language, motor, and social development-helping her learn to express herself, play with others, and build trust with caregivers.
The facilities are excellent, with a rich variety of creative and sensory activities, plenty of outdoor play, and a joyful "messy play" approach that children love.
It's a nurturing, stimulating environment, and I wholeheartedly recommend seahorse nursery to other families.
Reply from Emilia Austin, Manager at Seahorse Nursery - Southfields Day Nursery
Thank you very much for these lovely words. Its been our pleasure to watch your little one and her siblings grow in the last year and we wish you all of the best back home and are thinking of you all!

Our daughter has been at seahorse nursery since she was 15 months old and has just left to go to school. It isn't easy leaving your baby for the first time but the staff at seahorse were so warm, loving and caring that they made it easy for us as parents as well as our daughter. They have supported
us with tips, advice and reinforcement of lots of the life skills such as potty training, teeth brushing and more recently the transition to school. As first time parents this has been invaluable to us. The woodland walk, softplay and French lessons are some of the highlights. Our daughter loved going to nursery and was always excited to see her teachers and tell them any news about what she is up to. The staff are all wonderful and take such an interest in the children. The children know the rules and learn different topics each term but they have so much fun they don't realise they are learning. She is so ready for school thanks to the support and tailored circle times from the teachers.

Thank you so much for sharing such kind words! The team have really noticed a gap in the seahorse class family without your little one in the room, we hope to see you soon with baby number 2!

I honestly can't recommend Seahorse Southfields enough. My son joined just after turning 1 and has developed incredibly well during his time there.


The staff are the most caring, thoughtful and kind people. They're imaginative and playful, while teaching the children language skills, physical skills,

good behaviour, manners, etc.


The facilities are the best of any nursery in Southfields. They have a large playground full of toys, games and fun activities, as well as a second playground with slides, swings, agility courses. There's a lovely woodland walk where the children go on a bear hunt, or look for safari animals, birds, shapes, sounds, etc. We have loved how much the team prioritises outdoor play and spending time in nature.


Inside, there's also a great soft play room with ball pit, slides, hiding places, trampoline - it's amazing! They also have special visitors every month for sensory and music classes!


We'll really miss Seahorse and the team!

Our daughter is leaving Seahorse after a wonderful 2 years where she has grown in confidence and independence. The nursery has been supportive and nurturing, and she is ready for reception already knowing some basics of phonics and maths. We couldn't be happier with the choice we made and recommend
the nursery to all our family and friends!

I cannot recommend Seahorse Nursery enough, they are such a loving and caring nursery and my child has loved every minute there. My child was very unsure and shy, but the years there has really made them blossom, and is so much more confident and so ready for school now. They teach so many wonderful
things throughout the year, and my child comes home every day so proud of the new things they have been learning about, and will happily share all the facts. The teachers and the managers are very professional and well organised, which reflects on the children, which keeps me as a parent at ease. I know my child is in the best hands everyday there.

I am absolutely thrilled with my daughter's nursery! Seahorse is an amazing place, with fantastic facilities both inside and outside. The staff is incredibly caring and attentive, and my daughter loves them all, no matter which class they're from. We receive daily feedback on her activities and progress,
which gives us a great sense of involvement. The staff is always willing to accommodate any special needs or requirements we have for our little one. They're also happy to meet with us to discuss any concerns and offer useful advice on what we can implement at home. My daughter has developed a deep love for her Seahorse class, to the point where she asks every day if it's Seahorse day, even on weekends! It's a wonderful feeling knowing that she's excited to go there and feels so comfortable. I highly recommend Seahorse to any parent looking for a caring and enriching environment for their child.

From the moment our daughter started at Seahorse - a little over a year ago - we were taken in by the warm atmosphere and delighted to see the quick connection she established with all of the staff. These bonds have only strengthened over time and she arrives and leaves each day with a big smile on
her face! The days are varied and the regular parent / key worker catch ups are informative and re-assuring. We have felt incredibly comfortable with Seahorse since day one and really couldn't recommend it highly enough!

We love Seahorses Southfields and could not recommend them enough! From the first home visit to now (four months later) we have felt so cared for by every single member of their team. This includes people who do not work directly in my child's room as well as office members who are only sometimes in
the building. The genuine care for each child is palpable and it is clear how focussed they are on centring their development and well-being in everything they do.
I cannot overstate how generous our child's key person has been with her time and thoughtfulness for our daughter (and us). We feel incredibly lucky to have someone in our lives who cares for our child the way that they do. Their wealth of knowledge and experience has helped me as a parent in understanding where my daughter is developmentally and how best to support her growth at home, which has been wonderful.
Seahorses Southfields has built a positive, warm, welcoming space that you can feel from the minute you walk inside.

I could not recommend Seahorses Nursery more highly!
Our daughter joined when she was only 9 months old and is clearly having the best time at nursery. She has settled in so quickly and all of the staff are incredibly friendly, supportive and caring.
Communication has been clear, the facilities
are superb, and the range of activities has been exceptional.
Our daughter could not be in better hands. Would recommend to any other parents.

Seahorse Nursery has been exceptional in their commitment to childcare.
My daughter suffers from severe multiple food allergies and she had a difficult time settling. As a result, she developed selective mutism and anxiety around eating. A particular male teacher worked closely with her reassuring
her with warmth, love, and patience. Members of staff encouraged her to communicate using basic language, gestures, cards, stickers, books, and one-on-one time. The extracurricular classes she has access to, language classes, and visits to the library helped increase her confidence.
Managerial staff were flexible and allowed me to sit in with her during tea and made home visits, which helped her feel safe.
Due to their exceptional dedication to childcare, my daughter has overcome her anxiety and is now able to communicate, eat, and drink and she is thriving at Seahorse.
Members of staff went above and beyond their duty of care. I highly recommend Seahorse Nursery.

Our daughter started at Seahorse a few months ago and we've been so impressed at how welcoming and inclusive everyone has been. She has built a lovely relationship with her key person, which has really helped her grow into a confident little girl. Every morning she runs into the nursery, says hello
and gives the staff in her room a cuddle before she settles in for breakfast. The daily activities are great, we love seeing and hearing what she's been up to - from making music and baking bread to messy play, and trips to the library. It's no surprise to us that she's coming home with new words every day.

We recently joined Seahorse Nursery in Southfields and have been very pleased with our experience. Our daughter has settled in wonderfully, thanks to the team's efforts in making the transition smooth and seamless. It's clear how much genuine care and passion they have for the children, which has given

The staff have been absolutely fantastic in nurturing my child at Seahorse. They were so kind and warm and undoubtedly the best part of this nursery.
Daily communications are sent to the parents by email and the app with photos. We really enjoyed getting the daily feedback over the years and seeing
how my child has progressed in his numerical and literacy skills.
The opportunity to speak to staff members is always there, and quick response to emails too.
We couldn’t thank you enough for providing a high level of care during my child's early years and making his social and educational experience within the school setting so fun!
We would always (and have been) recommend Seahorse Nursery to any parents in the area.

The nursery staff were nurturing and attentive to our child and really helped them progress onto phonics and other skills which were useful in starting reception this year. In addition, they helped prepare the children mentally to move on to 'big school'. They really foster the older children taking

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.926)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.926) out of 10 for Seahorse Nursery - Southfields 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 5.0 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 4.926 for Seahorse Nursery - Southfields Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (200 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.926
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Seahorse Nursery - Southfields 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 25 number of registered child places is 5, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.

I serve as the Designated Safeguarding Officer and the Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO). I am committed to supporting parents from diverse backgrounds and helping them transition into joining the nursery. Whether it's returning to work after maternity leave, moving to the UK from another country, or enrolling your child in a nursery for social opportunities, I am here to support you. The children are at the heart of every decision I make, and I ensure that the children are at the utmost priority. I work in partnership with our ethos, 'Learning about the world through play' and help to inspire my team to embed this into their teaching daily!
