Review from C P (Mother of Child) published on 18 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter has been attending since she was 5 months old. From the very beginning, the settling-in process was gentle and very supportive, which made such a difference to us as first-time parents.
The staff are warm, caring, and genuinely invested in each child's wellbeing and development. They've also been incredibly helpful with key milestones including weaning, and offering guidance and reassurance along the way.

It's been amazing to see how much our daughter has grown in confidence and personality since starting. She is always happy when we drop her off, which says everything about the environment they've created. The nursery also has a lovely garden space. Communication is excellent - we're kept informed about her day, her progress, and all the little moments that matter. The overall atmosphere feels relaxed, supportive, and genuinely caring. We feel so lucky that our daughter attends this nursery & wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Overall Experience
My child has been attending this nursery for a year and a half now. Everyone at the nursery is very welcoming and the children all seem so happy. I often see the staff singing and reading books to the children who are all very engaged. I am given continual updates of my child and their activities throughout the day. Important details such as naps, food intake and development milestones are tracked closely.

Cannot recommend this nursery enough to other parents!

Review from Emma Y (Mother of Child) published on 13 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at the nursery for a year and a half and has really thrived. Her vocabulary and ability to form sentences is fantastic and has been developed through the good relationships and interactions with nursery staff and the well planned curriculum delivered. We have enjoyed seeing the weekly activity plan and learning reflections to help us keep track of what she's doing. The staff really care about the children and what they are learning. Each day she comes home telling us about the books she's read and activities she's completed and most importantly, is always happy. She has developed a love for arts and crafts which she does each day using different mediums and we have enjoyed seeing her complete these via the regular pictures and observations her keyworker makes on the learning journey app. She also loves the music and cooking classes. Communication from the nursery is excellent and the chef has been great at catering the menu to her dietary needs (GF milk free).

Carshalton Day Nursery has been the most amazing experience for me, my partner and my son! They went above and beyond to help him feel settled and safe in a new environment. I was anxious as he had been to a small childminder setting before, but he is thriving!

Review from R D (Mother of Child) published on 18 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Our three year old and one year old both started early this year. We were very impressed by the amount of settling in sessions offered, which helped the children settle quicker. Their key workers have been great and they always seem to have done such exciting things at nursery - a bubble party for the babies, and baking have been particular highlights.

Thank you to the manager and your wonderful team! It makes such a difference knowing we're learning the children in such capable and fun hands.

Reply from Jennifer OShea, Customer Experience Team Leader at Little Garden The Carshalton Day Nursery and Pre-School

Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear that the settling-in sessions were helpful and that both children are enjoying their time at nursery. It's great to know that the activities have been engaging and memorable. We appreciate your kind words about the team and are glad the experience has been a positive one.

Overall Experience
Our son has been attending Carshalton Day Nursery for the past almost two months, he has settled almost instantly, he asks to go every morning and we are extremely happy with the standard of care and activities they provide him with. It is so nice to see how much he enjoys going there and we feel very comforted as to how well cared for he is there.

The communication with the staff is excellent and they are all very caring individuals who strive to bring out the best in the children who attend.

Overall Experience

Putting my 2 year old son into nursery was an emotional rollercoaster for me. This was the first time I had to trust people I didn't know to care for my baby. I made the right decision choosing The Carshalton Day Nursery. From the settling-in sessions to now I have had constant communication, help and additional resources to help us along the way. I love the app used to inform us on what's happened in the day and to show my son's learning journey. Didn't think I'd get there but I'm super excited to even send my 8 month old soon. Lovely staff all around amazing Team!

Carshalton Day Nursery have been the most amazing nursery for our child. They include us in all daily activities and meals and our child leaves happy every day. There is nothing they haven't thought of when it comes to the safety of our child and the growth we have seen in her in the last year has been amazing. The meals are amazing and have encouraged our child to eat a wider variety and the staff are lovely. I couldn't recommend a better nursery.

I am very pleased with my grandson's nursery. He's come so far this year since last year and the care that is given is amazing. The staff are absolutely beautiful people and the manager is great, such a lovely woman. I love how she takes care of my grandson and the bond that she has with all the children is amazing. The nursery is very clean, they have so much to learn and play with and all the activities that the manager arranges as well. He enjoys the snacks and meals and I would recommend it to other people.

Overall Experience

Me and my husband had an absolutely great experience in the nursery. The staff are so approachable, helpful and caring. Our daughter had difficulties at the beginning and the help we received was absolutely professional and we couldn't have asked for more. The result was that our child woke up every morning and asked when we could go to school she couldn't wait. In all the activities, learning and games we saw great progress. We recommend the nursery to all our friends. Thanks a lot for everything. Wishing you all the best.

Overall Experience

I can honestly say that this nursery has been amazing in so many ways. The confidence and pride my child has had since attending has grown so much. He is always talking about how much he loves his nursery and teachers. He has made an amazing little friendship group. We were told by his school his writing was very good for his age and I credit the hard work of the teachers. If I could I'd send him here forever. The best place and people created a lovely community.

Wow, what a glowing review! We're over the moon to hear about your child's newfound confidence and pride.
