Ivy House School

Cannot fault this incredible, supportive, nurturing educational environment! The teachers are exceptional. The school has a magical soul which is reflected in how happy the children are. The teachers fully support each individual child to where they are at. A wonderful learning environment.

St Anthony’s Nursery NW11 is an excellent Nursery. Without exception, the staff are all fantastic teachers and facilitators, and they create a kind, generous, educational and playful environment. They cater their care to the individual child, and as a result the children thrive. The boys and girls forge firm and lasting friendships which is down to the warm and nurturing environment, and the exciting, learning experiences and opportunities. My son really developed and thrived over his time at the Nursery and although sad to have to leave to go to Reception, he was impeccably prepared by the Nursery to take the next step.

St Anthony’s Nursery NW11 has surpassed all my expectations of what an early year's educational experience can be. The children learn, play and grow in a wonderfully warm, inclusive environment. They are always engaged and gently challenged to try new things - from new foods to maths problems to having a go at weekly science experiments. Recognising that every child is different, individual learning plans are the norm at St Anthony’s. The observations and feedback given are insightful, practical and helpful. All of this is achieved through the watchful eyes of an incredibly dedicated, knowledgeable and experienced group of teachers and the highly respected senior management team at St Anthony’s. By the end of the two-year program, children are reading and writing and have an excellent foundation in mathematics, but more importantly, they are confident, curious and excited to begin reception.

An absolute gem of a nursery. My daughter thrived, and both she and we couldn’t have been happier. Experienced and caring staff, beautiful facilities, warm and welcoming community, stimulating learning experiences and a kindness ethos that permeates the whole experience of pupils. It gave my daughter the best gift of any education: a true love of learning. Highly recommend.

My son attended St Anthony's Nursery NW11 the first year it opened. The co-ed nursery benefits from being located at St Anthony’s School for Girls, where the ethos is firmly rooted in kindness, positivity and a love of learning, and this was much of our experience at the nursery. The staff was always caring, enthusiastic and made sure each child was given the opportunity to learn to their full potential. My son gained in confidence, advanced in phonics and made friends with children of all ages across the school. He was always happy to go to nursery and will jump at the opportunity to go back and visit his teacher. His transition to St Anthony’s School for Boys was seamless.

The overall experience for my son in St Anthony’s school nursery is amazing. My son quickly settled into the class and made many friends. All of the school staff and teachers are amazing, friendly and professional. The curriculum of the nursery is well-structured and well-balanced, including a wide range of activities and proper academic input. Especially the language diversities; my son loves French and Mandarin classes. We will definitely send our daughter to St Anthony’s school nursery as well when she is old enough.

Our son absolutely thrived at St Anthony's nursery. It was such a nurturing environment where each child was cared for to their unique needs. The teachers and headmaster were amazing, and we loved how the children's creativity was encouraged. Our older son went to a different nursery, and we wish St Anthony's had been open when he was nursery age.

Our son thrived at St Anthony's Nursery! He was happy, supported and taught to the highest standards. Two particular members of staff are fantastic and always want the best for every child. We particularly loved the fact that he was able to interact with older children at playtimes and lunchtimes and that he was always so excited to go to the nursery because he felt so loved and happy. We cannot recommend this nursery enough.

The nursery is very passionate about doing the very best for every child.

I sent my son to St Anthony’s Nursery when it opened in September 2021. It was the best decision - the teachers in the nursery and throughout the school were so welcoming, friendly, professional and just wonderful. The environment is nurturing and a safe space for toddlers. Great facilities and food, and he learnt so much. I will definitely send my other son when he’s old enough.

We couldn’t have been happier about our son’s experience at St Anthony’s Nursery NW11. The teachers and staff were amazing. The nursery facilities are perfect and brand new. The school being effectively inside the heath is an added bonus and allowed for plenty of extra outdoor activities. By the end of his year at the nursery, our son was completely ready for his transition to school.

My daughter has been at St Anthony's Nursery NW11 for just over a term. She settled very quickly and is flourishing there. It's the most nurturing nursery the staff are so caring and go above and beyond. Highly recommend.

St Anthony's Nursery NW11 is the most wonderful, nurturing and caring environment I could have ever imagined for my child. I send her there every day with the utmost confidence that the teachers and assistants are going above and beyond to educate her and look after her well-being. I am more than confident that St Anthony's Nursery produces well-rounded, kind and clever individuals, and I'm grateful that we had the opportunity to send her there.

Absolutely fantastic nursery. The staff are so caring and genuinely have a concern for the children's well-being. The headmaster and deputy head are also very hands-on and also, being parents themselves, show a real understanding towards the children. My daughter did not settle in her last nursery, but has settled easily here and has thrived on some of the amazing extra activities including ballet and drama. She also enjoys being part of the whole school assemblies. I am so pleased that she has been able to attend.

We couldn't be happier with St Anthony's Nursery! The head of the school is amazing and sets the tone for the entire staff. The teachers do a wonderful job of pushing the children to learn while being warm and empathetic. Our son is turning into an enthusiastic learner.

We moved our daughter from another nursery, and it has been the best thing we ever did for her. The care she receives is parallel to her at-home care. We often say her being at nursery is an extension of her home. She loves the other children and teachers. The staff never stop trying to outdo themselves. We are so delighted with St Anthony's nursery/school. You continuously see and feel the passion and investment in the children's well-being.

Excellent nursery. All the staff, including the headmaster, genuinely care about the children and do the best for them. The level of teaching is to a very high standard, and the subjects taught are so varied. It's an amazing place, and I highly recommend it.

Our daughter joined St Anthony's last year, and both she and our family are delighted. The classrooms are vibrant and very well-supported. The teaching team are incredible and nurturing and provides comprehensive/regular updates on progress. We're amazed to see how many activities and experiences our daughter has already been able to enjoy. Would thoroughly recommend it.

Our son has absolutely loved his year-plus at this nursery, and we, as parents, could not be more proud. Our daughter went to another local nursery where she did very well, but we often do say we wish this nursery would've been open when she was this age! The teachers are just brilliant, and all the children really thrive there. The proximity to the park is also fabulous; we are so thankful for how much time they get to spend outside when the weather cooperates!
