All staff are very caring and experienced. They engage the children in a variety of activities that promote educational growth but also social interaction and emotional development. The staff genuinely care about each child's well-being and take the time to understand their individual needs.
Communication is also a key aspect, the staff keeps us well-informed about our child's daily activities and progress.
Also to point out that meals are carefully prepared in-house and made to meet dietary needs and options of each child.
I highly recommend Hampstead Gate.
My son has been at nursery here since he was 9 months old, he has flourished in leaps and bounds since starting, the nursery offers a lot of support to parents and gives a debrief at the end of the day. Fantastic meal options for everyone.
My daughter loves going to nursery at Hampstead Gate. She has so many friends, and the staff are truly wonderful, look after her and her develop the skills she will need to go into preschool, and school itself. I’ve never had an issue, the staff keep you informed about her my daughter’s day has been and really happy with the progress she is making. Strongly recommend Hampstead Gate!
The staff there are welcoming, friendly and professional. The manager is lovely and has been there throughout. It’s been good to have the continuity.
There is always good communication at pick up and they are approachable if you have any concerns and give you time if you need to talk about anything at all regarding your child.
The care he receives is brilliant and he enjoys his time there. There is lots of outdoor play, children can choose to play outside or in.
The nursery itself is a clean modern building with a good range of equipment/toys/facilities.
Most of the time my son eats really well which shows that the kitchen staff who are also very friendly are doing a great job. There is a varied menu which parents have access to.
Safety and security is taken seriously here which I find very reassuring.
Overall we are very happy and would 100% recommend to anyone looking for childcare.
Amazing staff who really care about the children and wonderful equipment and facilities. I have a SEN child and they really take the time and effort to make sure he is happy and looked after and they can do 1-1 stuff with them.
The nursery is always clean and tidy and the staff are very friendly and welcoming.
I highly recommend Hampstead Gate.
I am so happy with everything they do at Hampstead Gate Nursery. My child has been there since 1 year old and he has flourished in their care. The atmosphere when you walk in is a positive one and they make you feel like you are part of a community. I could not recommend it more highly. It appears the manager has created a happy work environment for the staff where that shines through and reflects onto the children.
The progress I saw in him very quickly was wonderful. He learned so many social skills, his confidence skyrocketed, and the staff are genuinely so nurturing and go out of their way to support parents and children.
My 2-year-old daughter also attends and her keyworkers support her so well to progress with her communication skills.
The setting itself is lovely; clean, well looked after, and supportive of development. The food always goes down well and both of my kids have seconds of food they’d never even try at home!
I can’t fault Hampstead Gate and the whole team there.
I've been personally involved in activities designed by the nursery staff, such as an audio/picture book in different languages for children to learn in a diverse context. We also appreciate that she is treated like a person with all her individuality at the same time she learns important social skills. We feel she's genuinely loved and looked after. Thanks.
While the beginning was rough after a couple of weeks my child (18 months old at the time) had settled in quite well. I'm very anxious to leave him with other people but the staff reassured me and comforted my child a lot. Right now after one year of attending my kid doesn't always say goodbye anymore and has a wonderful time with his friends and staff. Thank you a lot.
The overall experience my twin girls had at Hampstead Gate Day Nursery has been outstanding. They have enjoyed coming into the nursery to explore, learn and make new friends. I have been able to keep up with their learning progress on the nursery app which is amazing. There is a good level of safeguarding for the children. The staff and management at the nursery have been professional in their approach and friendly, always putting the children's care at the forefront. The nursery is always clean and tidy, and children are always served healthy and nutritious meals. The nursery also provides good facilities, a lovely garden, and educational toys for the children to play with while ensuring that the children have a lot of activities to engage in and learn. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone considering bringing their child/children. Thank you to all the staff at Hampstead Gate Day Nursery.
The team at Hampstead Gate Nursery are wonderful. Our little boy comes out really happy at the end of each day. The chef cooks fresh meals every day, and it's the one place my little boy eats lots. They have something for every child's interests, and ours likes to be outside and look at the fish. The girls care about every single child, and it really shows.
You guys are amazing and you are modelling our future by modelling these children. You are doing an amazing job and I can not thank you guys enough.
PS: Thank you for their food and thank you for making sure everything is working properly!
My 3-year-old started in March 2021 and has come on so far since being here. The staff are all friendly and professional. They've been a vital part in helping my child develop her speaking and find herself after really struggling during lockdowns. They always stick to whatever decision we've made with regards to potty training, weaning off the dummy and comforters. The garden areas are great, they have activities and toys to suit every want or need my child can think up. Their hygiene standards are immaculate, deal with food allergies and dietary needs really well also.
I have to say, I was a little skeptic at the beginning as I was thinking it`s a brand new nursery and probably the staff not experienced enough but I was completely wrong! We`re really pleased with this nursery. Our two and a half years old son started here in August 2021. It did not take him more than one week to settle in. The staff at Hampstead Gate Day Nursery are very welcoming and very friendly and you can tell from the beginning that they have lots of experience with children. The facilities and the garden outside are amazing. My son always smiles and he is looking forward to going in every morning. All the activities they perform to stimulate the children`s development are brilliant. We are always kept up to date with his learning and development journey. I would definitely recommend Hampstead Gate Nursery to new parents. I think we could not have chosen a better Nursery for our son. Thank you to all the lovely staff!
Of those 9 months, she only attends the nursery 1 day a week, but this has not stopped her building a bond or a relationship with her key workers and other staff.
She always smiles when we say it’s time to go to nursery and she happily goes to her key workers in the morning.
The staff are all very supportive and accommodating to our needs and requirements. They are all friendly and happy to chat to my daughter and I, taking the time to ask how we are.
The menus are nutritious and balanced and my daughter sometimes even has seconds!
The nursery itself is a lovely building and the children have their own gardens to play in according to age. Despite the number of children there, the place is always so spotless!
I’m very happy with the nursery, the lovely staff and how they are looking after my daughter and what they are teaching her and I look forward to seeing my daughter continue to grow.
Our son joined Hampstead Gate Day Nursery in August this year and we genuinely couldn't be happier with the care he receives. He has a cows milk protein allergy and we were quite nervous about how this would be approached but the nursery has been really supportive but also make sure he doesn't miss out on anything. The nursery always know who we are when we drop/pick up, he absolutely loves everyone in his room (especially his keyworker) and the nursery always support us with ad-hoc requests and the updates we get every day are amazing. If you're looking for a nursery that feels like home and supports your child to learn and develop then Hampstead Gate will be a perfect setting!
She always has a smile when I hand her over. We get feedback on how her day has been each time we pick her up. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Her physical and social skills have progressed hugely since going to Hampstead gate Day Nursery. Thank you to all the staff who work there, we strongly recommend for other parents.
My 3-year-old twins attended Hampstead Gate Day Nursery happily each morning! All the staff members were extremely friendly and caring, doing their best to meet our needs as a family. My son was well supported with potty training and his journey improved, the garden is filled with stimulus and play materials, providing exciting learning opportunities for the children. Lunches are a delight with healthy options for growing minds. All my questions or queries were responded to in a timely manner. Their preferred milk was provided with ease. The online system was regularly updated with pictures and observations of my children learning and playing which provided great insight into their days! I would highly recommend this nursery!
My nephew is thriving at Hampstead Gate, the staff are very friendly, professional and have a wealth of knowledge. My son also attended a Childbase nursery and I would always highly recommend them. My nephew really loves coming here and always has so much fun.

I love the layout of the building; it has a beautiful flow and access to individual gardens from each room. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow lots of natural light and an open feeling. The benefit of the art and woodwork room and the library is also a bonus.
Hampstead Gate already feels like an established nursery, and the team is like a family. The nursery has a very warm and welcoming feeling.
