King's House Nursery is an exceptional nursery with a genuinely warm and nurturing environment. The teachers and support staff are incredibly caring and create a space where every child is seen as an individual that feels happy, safe and excited to learn. Our child has been so well looked after and
treated with real kindness and attention.


The nursery offers fantastic activities including Dough Disco, Rock Star Wednesday, Baking Thursday and a brilliant Forest School programme. Every day is different and engaging. Our child runs into nursery every morning and even asks if he can go at the weekend!


We have seen huge growth in his confidence, social skills and phonics since starting here. The nursery also does an amazing job of helping the children build friendships and play with everyone.


We cannot recommend King's House Nursery highly enough. It has been a wonderful experience for our family and has prepared our child perfectly for starting Reception.

Reply from Ashleigh Thompson, Marketing & Communications Manager at King's House NurseryThank you for the lovely review - we love having your child with us at Nursery and are so pleased to hear about such positive growth!

King's House Nursery is heaven on earth. The Head, along with her amazing staff, run a fabulous place where my 2 children have been nurtured and supported over the past 4 years. The nursery gives not only fantastic educational guidance but also strong emotional development where every child feels confident
and happy. My 2 children have flourished because of this nursery.

King's House Nursery has been an outstanding choice for our child's early education. The well-structured curriculum balances play-based learning with developmental milestones perfectly, while the caring and supportive staff create a nurturing environment where every child feels valued. We've been particularly
impressed by the low staff-to-student ratio, which ensures our child receives individual attention and support throughout the day.


Since starting at King's House, we've noticed remarkable improvements in our child's social skills, confidence, and readiness for school, alongside positive changes in behaviour at home. We couldn't recommend this nursery more highly to other parents seeking quality early years education.

Kings House Nursery is the best decision we made when choosing the right setting to start our child's learning journey. It is a real gem of Richmond tucked away on a quiet, friendly street. We have been delighted with the high quality teaching and learning through play. The amazing nursery team have
created something truly special and nurturing. We can't thank them enough for giving our child the most brilliant experience.

Our son has just completed his first term at King's House and couldn't be happier. He looks forward to going to nursery every morning and recently when he told me he was going on holiday and I asked him where to, he said "King's House"! The staff are all so caring and I love receiving incredibly detailed
feedback and photos about what he does. I've also been so impressed with the educational side, and how their play is focussed on fun ways of learning things such as numbers and shapes. Every week there is a different theme, ranging from "fireworks" to "kindness". I would highly recommend King's House Nursery.

My daughter has just completed a year at Kings House Nursery from age 3 to 4. I was impressed from my first viewing. Whilst other nurseries did viewings outside of opening times, Kings House showed me around during the morning whilst the children were in class. I was able to see the lovely nurturing
environment and how different groups of children were engaged in meaningful activities. The building and gardens are beautiful and well-equipped. The children are given mostly healthy snacks but also occasional treats. I also liked the online platform for sharing updates to know what the children have been up to each week. It has been a pleasure to see my daughter grow in confidence in their care. Thank you to the manager and the team for giving her such a positive start to her school life.

Amazing nursery with the best teachers. They care for my daughter like she is their own, it's a joy to send her here. Every day the teachers welcome us with a smile. We get daily/weekly updates of what our child is doing at nursery as well as what she will be doing for the term. My daughter has a lot
of energy and I found this nursery was perfect for giving her some structure but still having loads of fun! I can't recommend this nursery enough!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My girl has been in the nursery for 2 terms (both caterpillar and butterfly class), starting from speaking no English, too shy to speak to people after a long covid stay at home period. To my surprise, she settled in straight away, running into nursery without looking back every morning, even asked
me to cancel the summer holiday because she wanted to stay in nursery! The nursery staff are so supportive, they are really taking care of and monitoring my girl’s development, giving honest and useful suggestions about how to bring the best out of her, never rush, very gentle, I can tell they have a step by step plan of getting her language out. We can’t believe after just two terms, she’s now a chatterbox, and even received a 4+ assessment offer! Most importantly, thanks to King’s House Nursery, my girl has developed a very positive attitude in going to school, which I think will benefit her in the long run.

Our son has had a wonderful experience at King's House Nursery, the nursery heads and their team have made his introduction to nursery a very happy affair - they are all so welcoming, kind, patient, and caring. We continue to be impressed by the wide range of intellectually stimulating and fun activities.
We really appreciate so much continual feedback via weekly letters, updates and the parent app. The nursery always appears clean and tidy and the children look very happy. A huge thank you to everyone.

King's House Nursery School is a very special place. From the teacher's genuine smiles that greet you at the start of the day to the beaming smile from my daughter upon pick up every single day, I am delighted to have found what I believe is the best nursery in Richmond. Underpinning it all is a very
clear outline for gentle yet structured learning objectives and a team that is wholly on board to provide your child with the best possible care and attention for those few hours they are away from you.

King's House Nursery is such a lovely nursery where children are nurtured, supported and encouraged and the communication with parents is excellent. The staff is warm, welcoming and very engaged with the children and their families. Both our sons attended and received an excellent preparation for school.
The teachers put a lot of thought every day on the activities they prepare for the children which are fun but also help them develop all the skills they need. I would highly recommend it.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.266)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.266) out of 10 for King's House 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 8 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 4.938 for King's House Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (90 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.938
  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 4.328 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for King's House Nursery is based on 8 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.65
    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 59 number of registered child places is 11.8. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.8 = 0.678
  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.
