Review from Elysia S (Mother of Child) published on 9 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff at Hampstead Gate are so wonderful. My son and I are always greeted with a welcoming smile at reception, and then again as we walk past the lovely kitchen staff. Every anxiety I have brought to the team (as a new mum) has been reassured and supported. The rooms we have experienced have been full of love and fun, and show a thoughtfulness behind provision and opportunities to learn. At yesterday's pickup I walked into a dance party - exactly what my son needs while learning how to jump! I feel like we're getting everything we need, so thank you!

Overall Experience
I couldn't be happier with our son's experience at this nursery. From day one, the staff have been absolutely brilliant.They are incredibly attentive, truly listen to everything I say, and always take my concerns or feedback seriously. It's such a relief to know that their safeguarding practices are rigorous, which gives me complete peace of mind whenever we drop him off. I also have to mention I've never seen a nursery so clean before.

Beyond the professionalism, it's clear how much they genuinely care for the children. They are so warm and nurturing, and it's lovely to see how much our son loves spending time with them. I couldn't recommend them enough!

Review from K K (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
She joined the nursery as an eight-month-old baby (in caterpillars), and when she leaves in the next few weeks, she will be three and half years old - a confident, joyous little girl shaped so beautifully by your kindness, patience and guidance. You have been a constant, reassuring presence in her life, supporting her through milestones, comforting her on difficult days, and celebrating her little victories with genuine warmth.
As she begins her transition over the next few weeks, we are already feeling the emotions of this change. These final weeks feel especially meaningful, giving her time to enjoy the familiar routines, the friendships she treasures, and the teachers she adores. We are grateful she gets to complete this chapter surrounded by the people who have nurtured her with such dedication.
Hampstead Gate will always hold a very special place in our hearts as her very first school and the foundation of her learning journey.

Thank you for helping her blossom into the confident little girl she is today.

Review from Saad J (Father of Child) published on 22 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son attended Hampstead Gate Day Nursery for several years, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, the staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring. Every morning we were greeted with smiles at reception, and that friendly, positive energy was felt throughout the nursery.
Communication was always spot on - we received regular updates and felt completely comfortable raising any questions or concerns. The team were open, supportive, and clearly invested in our son's development. It was obvious they were going above and beyond to make sure he was happy, safe, and thriving.

The care was exceptional. We always felt reassured knowing he was in such good hands, and he genuinely enjoyed being there - which says a lot! The menu had a great variety for vegetarians, and it was a lovely bonus that the meat served was halal.

We're so grateful to everyone at Hampstead Gate Day Nursery for everything they've done for our son.

Overall Experience
The staff are incredibly kind, patient, and truly care about each child's development and wellbeing. Our little one settled in quickly and looks forward to going every day, which says everything.

The communication with parents is excellent - we always feel informed about routines, meals, learning activities and progress. The environment is clean, safe, and full of engaging toys and learning materials. We also love how much time is spent outdoors and the variety of activities planned each week.

Overall Experience

Our eldest daughter is in her last few weeks of her time at Hampstead Gate having moved from another child base nursery in 2023. The move was the best decision we made as the care, support and environment provided at Hampstead Gate has been nothing short of excellent. All staff members are very friendly and have a wonderful approach with all children. Would highly recommend.

Overall Experience

We've been so pleased with Hampstead Gate Nursery and everything they've done for our two boys. The staff are warm, supportive, and always go the extra mile. Our eldest is heading to school soon, and their school readiness programme has prepared him brilliantly. Both boys love the meals provided and really enjoy their mornings at nursery-drop-offs are always happy! We're confident they're in a safe, caring, and stimulating environment. Highly recommended.

Overall Experience

The service, care and attention we get from all team members at Hampstead Gate has been excellent. When our daughter was diagnosed with diabetes, it was really tough, but what made things easier was how adaptable & caring all the staff were to ensure things remained as stable as possible. Couldn't ask for a better nursery.

Review from Angeliki K (Mother of Child) published on 2 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Excellent staff and facilities!
My son is full time there since he was 18 months and he absolutely loves it. I went for a tour to appx 10 nurseries before picking Hampstead Gate and never second guessed it. Their kitchen, meal options and ingredients are amazing. The staff is caring and trustworthy. My son's communication and overall skills have boomed.

What I also love about this nursery is that is still child led, while offering a lot of activities and learning. Their outdoor area is big and well maintained. We're very happy and definitely recommending it. I was anxious about making the right choice, so this means a lot to me.

Overall Experience

We occasionally pick our granddaughter up from nursery and are always greeted by the friendly staff. My 3-year-old granddaughter has attended since being 1-year-old. She loves going there, looking forward every day to see her friends and the staff who give excellent care. Her development and social skills have definitely been enhanced by attending this 1st-rate nursery. The facilities are perfect and the professionalism of the staff make it a perfect environment for little ones to thrive.

Review from K H (Mother of Child) published on 12 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy started at Hampstead Gate at 11 months and is absolutely thriving! He is so happy to go to nursery and gets very excited when his bag is put out ready. The staff really care about the children and go above and beyond to ensure both children and parents are comfortable and happy. In particular, his key worker has been wonderful at supporting him and us to settle into nursery and has really formed a bond with him. He is just transitioning rooms and the process has been so smooth and reassuring and he already loves it. His development has been amazing since he started and his confidence has grown so much. We couldn't be happier with our decision to send him to Hampstead Gate and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a kind, nurturing and fun setting for their little ones!

My child has been attending Hamstead Gate Nursery since she was 9 months old. She loves going to nursery and has built a special relationship with the staff. The staff are very caring, and attentive and have nurtured our daughter. We have seen huge growth in her development and how she interacts with others since she started attending the nursery. She loves the staff and is very happy being around the other children as well. The nursery engages the children in a range of different interactive and sensory activities, which she really enjoys participating in. We love sending her to Hamstead Gate and we are assured she is thriving.

Lovely setting, very clean nursery it still seems brand new, with so much equipment for the children. Lots of extra activities and events are put on for the children, things you probably wouldn’t get to do at home. The organic lunch menu is amazing too!

Nursery review
My son has been at the nursery since he was 11 months old. He will be turning 3 in May and I can confidently say he absolutely loves going to nursery. The support he is given from his key person is invaluable. He has always been a confident and energetic child. His time at this nursery has built on his speech and confidence to communicate with the nursery practitioners and children alike. A big thank you to one member of staff in particular who has helped immensely with his development.
When he joined he was a picky eater and with the help of the nursery chef who has worked with our son to identify different ways of serving food to help with engagement and interest in food, tasting and trying. Pleased to say we receive daily updates to say he has eaten all and sometimes asked for a 2nd serving.

All in all this is an exceptional nursery who really care for the needs and development of children whilst having lots of fun.
