Review from Bennie T (Mother of Child) published on 11 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My baby started very young and I was very nervous, but I was over the moon seeing him go into the setting happy and ready to play and interact with his peers and carers. The staffs are very friendly and I love the updates throughout the day. Can't wait to see him blossom and grow at Purple Jay !

Reply from Lynn Attoe, Senior Operations Manager at Purple Jay Lewisham

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We completely understand how nerve-wracking it can be to start your little one in a new setting, so we're thrilled to hear that he's settling in happily and enjoying his time with us

Whenever I have been to the nursery the staff have been welcoming and helpful. My granddaughter has always looked happy and well-occupied. The other children in the room seemed settled at the time I was present.

Review from L T (Mother of Child) published on 1 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We are extremely pleased with our experience with Purple Jay Lewisham. Our daughter has attended the nursery for almost 2 years and her development has been fantastic. Each practitioner has taken time and care to get to know her and to base activities and resources on her interests. It is a pleasure to know that she will be nurtured and listened to whilst away from home.
A strength of the nursery has been its role in fostering a love of reading in our daughter. At most pick-ups, I observe a member of staff reading to and with my daughter and they will often pass on to me the names of books that she is enjoying at school. They have also had regular book-themed days and weeks which she absolutely adores.

Welcoming, approachable, and knowledgeable staff and management - we are very happy and have been since her induction.

Mary Walters-Collett Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2021
Mary Walters-Collett

Mary has been in childcare for 13 years. In that time she has progressed from nursery cook all the way up to senior manager.

Her past 8 years have been in management and she’s enjoyed having a team to support and progress, supporting their learning and development so they can grow.

Her first experience in childcare was at the “Early Year Alliance” where, as a parent, she took an active role in ensuring the staff were fully trained in administering Adrenalin pens.

This experience got her more involved with the nursery, progressing further in it and gaining her level 5 qualification in the process! Mary takes pride in developing her own skills and keeping up to date with child development.

Mary started with us as the Nursery Manager at Purple Jay East Dulwich 2 years ago, and more recently has become the Nursery Manager at Purple Jay Lewisham as well as Senior Nursery Manager for the Purple Jay Nurseries group.
