They have been very attentive to our little boy's development : the introduction to solid foods, learning to walk, or now his progress in learning two different languages.
There is a wide variety of games and other activities, both indoors and outdoors. And at the end of each day, there's a short report with photos. It's really great!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review, I cant wait to share this with the team!
We adore Seahorse Nursery Southfields. Having moved our family to Southfields at the end of last year, we were nervous about our daughters transition from her old nursery (she had been there for 2 months) however we had no reason to be nervous! The onboarding process was reassuringly thorough (including a home visit which I really valued) and the settling days put all my worries aside. The staff are wonderful; kind, thoughtful and so much fun! I get so excited to read about my daughters day on the portal with all the amazing activities and adventures she is going on. My wider family often mention how imaginative and creative the daily activities are! Feedback on her developments and milestones feels very personal and carefully observed. I love how often the children are out in the fresh air, this was very important to me! Overall we couldn't be happier with our choice and our daughter never wants to leave when we pick her up. Thank you to the wonderful team at Seahorse!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm so happy your experience with us has been positive from the get-go, and we look forward to that continuing! I am excited to share the feedback with the team!
Our son has attended both the baby group as well as the older children's group at Seahorse. We have been consistently happy with the care he has received, and we felt that he was very well looked after and cared for, with a number of standout members of staff that we felt really happy to have look after our son. The nursery has a lot of outdoor space, both for a playground as well as a woodland area, something that we valued as our son loves to spend time outdoors. We would definitely recommend the nursery.
Thank you for your lovely words of praise. I am so excited to share this wonderful feedback with the team. Wishing you well!
My three year old daughter recently started Seahorse Southfields after our family relocated to the UK. She was very attached to her old preschool and admittedly I was nervous for her. Her transition has been absolutely wonderful! The staff is amazing -- all so caring and kind -- and she's really bonded with her teachers. She loves the variety of activities: her favorites are forest school and tennis. The curriculum is thoughtful and intentional, and includes phonics, math, writing, and art. Honestly we couldn't be happier with Seahorse Southfields. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us so far! I am excited to share your kind words with the team!
Our son has just completed his first term. He attends the nursery 4 days a week and is always excited to attend each morning! The team at Seahorse are very welcoming and regularly share detailed information about his day and how he is progressing in his language, fine motor skills and more. The activities are engaging, creative and well thought-through and it always looks like a lot of fun for the kids! Our son also has some allergies that need some extra care and this has never been an issue and he is always well looked after, plus the food menu provided really helps.
Huge thanks to the entire team for their hard work and care each and every day. Knowing our son is in good hands is our number one priority and we really appreciate everything they do.
Thank you for your lovely words of appreciation. It was a great pleasure to be able to share this with the team. Your little one is a joy to have at the nursery, and we thank you for all of your support!
There is a great variety of activities, education and play each day and our son really enjoys the messy play and watching programmes on Tuesdays!
We know that he is well looked after by the team. He is delighted and breaks out into a smile when we arrive at the gates each morning. Everyone at Seahorse is very friendly and clearly passionate about their work. Compared to other nurseries that I visited, Seahorse is by far has the best outdoor space.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It's a pleasure to have your little one in our care and to watch him enjoy all of the new experiences he has at nursery!
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.
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!
Thank you ever so much for your kind words, the team truly take them to their hearts. We have loved having your little one with us and will miss them dearly!
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!
Thank you for your wonderful review. We know she will conquer Reception class, we are so proud of her! Thank you for being a wonderful family of Seahorse. We will certainly miss you all.
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.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Its been an absolutely pleasure to have your little one in our care, and we know they will go on to achieve all of their dreams!
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.
Thankyou so much for such a lovely and kind review. It is very heart-warming to hear that you feel supported as well as your daughter at the setting, and we love that she looks forward to her Seahorse days! Thank you again.
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!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to write this. The team is filled with so much joy when they read your feedback, it really means a lot to them.
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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such kind words. It means so much to the team to know you, as a parent, feel just as supported and happy here as your child. Thank you again!
This nursery has been amazing for our little one! The staff is incredibly caring and attentive, creating a warm, fun, and safe environment. The activities are engaging; our child has grown so much in confidence and learning here. Communication is excellent, with regular updates that keep us connected.
Highly recommend this place; it feels like a second home for our little one!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I know my team will feel a great sense of pride from this feedback, and I know they are just as proud of the progress from your little one. Thank you!
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.
Thank you so much, your kind words of appreciation mean so much for our team. They adore having your little one at nursery and seeing her flourish and grow has been an absolute pleasure.
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.
Thank you so much for your kind words. The team has built such a strong bond with her now and we each have a small party inside when she talks...still! We are very proud of her
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.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It means so much to the team when they know their caring nature has put a smile on not only the child's face but their parents.
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 us great peace of mind and made returning to work much easier. The curriculum is well thought-out, and we really appreciate their personalised approach. Our daughter always ends her day with a big smile, which speaks volumes for us!
Thank you so much for your lovely words. It is so warming to the teachers when they are able to support you with returning to work!
The staff create a bright and happy environment for my son and gives me reassurance through regular feedback and communication.
Keep being excellent, Seahorse Team! Would thoroughly recommend it!

Before moving into Early Years full time I worked for the Home Office in London and the European Parliament in Brussels. I studied at Kingston University for my Early Years Teacher Qualification and more recently studied at the Said Business School at Oxford University through a Goldman Sachs small business programme. I live locally in Southfields and have two children. My main responsibilities are teaching and learning, day-to-day operations, recruitment and safeguarding. I look forward to welcoming you to Seahorse!

I joined Seahorse Nursery in 2022 as a deputy manager and later transitioned to Manager. My journey in childcare began in 2015 as an apprentice studying for my level 2 and 3 qualifications. Drawing from my 10 years of experience in childcare, I ensure that my team of dedicated and passionate teachers delivers high-quality teaching and care to the children in our setting. I serve as the Designated Safeguarding Officer and the Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO).

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!
