This nursery is highly professional and my child is doing well extremely well in the preschool. The staff are attentive and provide peace of mind. Facilities are clean and theres lot of activities for them to do. The deputy manager and manager are accommodating and very helpful. My child joined toddler room and is now in preschool. We've had the same room leader and keyperson throughout - I couldn't be happier with my child's progress so far. Highly recommended.
the manger and deputy go above and beyond to ensure a safe, fun happy inviting environment as well as ensuring I as a patent are fully supported the whole
Time. So very glad I chose this nursery
Thankyou for your lovely words. So happy that you have enjoyed your Preschool experience, the staff here strive for the very best outcome for the children, glad your experience has been one to enjoy with us. :)
I recently visited Purley Nursery for a visit as my son needed a nursery place in the area. From the moment I walked in, the staff were friendly & made me feel at ease. The nursery was amazing, child friendly with features such as a baking area and sensory room. All the children seemed happy and staff were happy to talk to me. Such a positive experience.
Thankyou for your kind review. so Glad you enjoyed your tour of the Nursery :)
The staff at Purley Children's Nursery are incredible. Such a lot of energy - caring and entertaining the children all day, every day. They will make sure you child, your child's belongings, and you the parent, go home safe and happy at the end of each day.
We've had a great experience with Purley Children's Nursery since our daughter joined the Toddler Room in the summer. She settled in as smoothly as possible and is always happy to go, which gives us real peace of mind.
The staff are incredibly kind, caring, and supportive. We feel she has access to a wide variety of activities that really support her development, from yoga and arts and crafts to helping care for the vegetable patch.
The facilities are very well equipped and consistently tidy and clean-something that's quite rare in many settings. It's wonderful to see her thriving: her language is developing quickly, and she's becoming a happy, confident, and independent little girl, which is reflected at home too.
My only small suggestion would be to have more in-app updates with photos. Other than that, we couldn't be happier with our choice, especially after our experience at another nursery.
My son has been attending the nursery since Oct 24 and has been in both the baby and toddler room. Overall I am happy with the nursery - he is happy upon collection and has built good relationships with staff. Staff are supportive and understanding. He loves use of the garden and messy place. Improvements: More timely updates on app. More photos would be nice - although some uploaded on app would be good to see weekly.
I have to say as an anxious mother I have felt nothing but at ease with being here, my little one has flourished and everyday I see growth in her. The toddler room ensure the activities are always set up and well led, the children are always happy and handovers are always full of information and what an exceptional job they do with all the potty training too! My daughter is always happy when I see her on collection and gets excited to come in the mornings! Really enjoying my experience, and the girls are great! Hats off to the hard work they do every day.
Thankyou for your message L, the girls work really work hard to ensure they deliver a tailored day for each children. And this really does show on drop offs and pick ups. I am very pleased to hear they have made you feel so comfortable
My son has been attending this amazing cosy nursery since he was 2 Years and 5 month's. From the moment we first viewed the nursery we knew straight away that it would be the perfect caring learning environment for our son. The nursery is lead by a hands-on, professional, approachable, and fantastic Manager who works tirelessly to ensure that the nursery delivers a 5 star level of care, at all times. All of the carefully selected staff across the entire nursery are outstanding. Each caregiver (including kitchen staff) are extremely friendly, engaging, enthusiastic, professional, and polite. They are very passionate about what they do and genuinely care about our son, and all of the other children. Our son could only say yes and no when he started and now he is very talkative and full of confidence, thanks to their attentive care. We are kept up to date with our son's day to day activities on an app and are always given a very informative handover during pick-up. Highly Recommended!
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review. We are truly delighted to hear how happy you and your family have been with your experience at our nursery. It means the world to us to know that your son has grown in confidence and communication during his time with us - that's...
My son started this month full time, he has quickly settled into the baby room. He is relaxed I am very confident leaving him at the nursery knowing that he is happy and well looked after. The handovers are thorough although I would love to see more clear pictures on the app. My son seems to love the staff he laughs and jokes a lot, although he's the youngest and not yet walking I hear hes making friends. As a parent, especially when you have to go to work, it's great having the app with the updates it gives piece of mind. You can also call up whenever to find out if everything is ok which has always been the case thus far.
My son is very happy at the nursery. I am especially pleased with the menu which is cooked fresh on site every day. My son eats all the food they serve and is being exposed to exciting new fruits and textures.
Thank you for the positive review. Our cook is always working on new ways to incorporate all the nutrients the children are needing. I will ensure this feedback is passed on to her.
I have had an amazing experience using Purley's children nursery. The staff here are nothing but exceptional. They are professional in all aspects, kind, caring and very sufficient when it comes to caring for my son. The daily hand overs from the staff along with the logged reports keep me reassured that my son is in the best care along with his peers. The nursery is constantly finding new ways for the children to learn and interact with one another whilst keeping it fun for the children. Big thank you to all the staff.
Thank you for your kind words in regards to care you receive and the positive words for my staff. It is so important for the team to read these lovely reviews so I will ensure this gets passed on for you. Little man is a pleasure to look after and you are a wonderful family to have on our books. Once again, thank you.
We moved into the area recently and so our child had a lot of upheaval, however this nursery has made the move worth it. Our child has settled in so well at this nursery, the staff are everything that makes this place so great. The love and warmth each child receives consistently from all staff really shows in how happy the kids are. The staff work in partnership with parents, everyday I get a detailed handover on what my child did and ate, which really helps. The nursery building itself is great, with dedicated arts room and a huge outdoor garden area and a separate floor for naps. I'd highly recommend this nursery.
Thank-you very much for your lovely review. We're truly delighted to hear that your child has settled in so well, especially after a significant move. It means a lot to us to know that we've been able to provide a warm and supportive environment that has made the transition smoother for you and...
The staff has always been very attentive and friendly and listened to our worries in regards to our daughter's development and they really helped our girls thrive.
As parents we could not be happier to see our kids being well look after and supported and the girls absolutely love going to nursery and they adore all their teachers and peers.
thank-you so much for your heartfelt review. It has been an absolute privilege to care for your girls. From their very first days in baby room all the way through to their final steps in pre-school. Watching them grow, develop and thrive into the confident little individuals they are today has been a true joy for our entire team.
He then runs to find his name to put on the board to say that he is present for the day, which he does without hesitation.
All the staff happily say good morning to him & myself along with the rest of the children, which makes for a friendly atmosphere, I say goodbye but he has already gone to join in with activities, so he is comfortably. On leaving the office staff are also very friendly they always have time you if you need anything or just a friendly" Morning"
On collecting him at the end of the day, he is still busy doing activities that he doesn't realise I'm there. A member of staff always tells you how he has been for the day & what he has eaten from breakfast, lunch & dinner plus snacks.Another great day at nursery.
Oh thankyou for your lovely words, our aim here at Purley children's nursery to is create a home from home feel. Having happy and settled children is the way forward in providing an outstanding leering environment.
I haven't had a lot of interaction with the nursery aside from picking my nephew up which has been pleasant. But I do know that my nephew loves his nursery, all of the staff, and has recently been reading new words that we didn't even know he could read!
I am very pleased to hear that your nephew enjoys is talking about nursery :) All the practitioners here are great , warm and friendly. They work very hard to ensure the children are getting the most from our provision.
The nursery provides a warm, nurturing environment with excellent activities that support learning and development. From sensory play and arts & crafts to early literacy and outdoor fun, every day is engaging and exciting. The staff's commitment and genuine love for what they do shine through in everything, helping my son grow socially and confidently.
Seeing how much he enjoys nursery reassures me that we made the right choice. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, supportive, and stimulating setting. The staff make all the difference-thank you for everything!

From our first visit with Purley Children Nursery , we got the reassurance that this place would be comforting. The team did an amazing job with settling our child and making a lovable place that she is now soo excited to go everyday! Its the homely , personal touch thatthe team and the nursery's environment give to all which is reassurance.
We are extremely happy with not just our childs' general well being but also the opprotunities like football for her to learn and develop her skills through different activities.
Will surely and highly recommend it to all parents!
I would like to Thank you for your kind words. Transitions for any ages is always going to be tuff , the girls will always ensure this process goes as smooth as possible. Our aim is to ensure we provide a home from home environment which is a big factor when settling. And in this case you as a...
Great nursery, staff really friendly and very passionate about what they do. I would definitely recommend it to other people. The child loves going to nursery and always talks about how much she likes the people working there and has a good relationship with them.
From our first visit to Purley Children's Nursery, my husband and I felt completely at ease about leaving our son there. The nursery has a welcoming atmosphere with a spacious outdoor area and a wonderful sensory room that our little one adores. It's always clean and tidy, helping us feel confident about the environment. The staff are exceptional - attentive and genuinely caring which has made it easy for our son to settle in and thrive. We appreciate the strong sense of community and the team keeps us in the loop through an app with regular updates on meals, naps, and activities, sometimes with lovely photos! There is convenient parking and long opening hours which have all been a big plus for us. Since joining, our son's communication and emotional skills have really improved and we can't recommend Purley Children's Nursery highly enough!
Thank you for your kind words, I would like to say you guys as a family have been a pleasure to work alongside. The whole building has together created a home-from-home environment, which gives our nursery that sense of community.
My son thoroughly enjoys his days at nursery and loves being able to use the outdoor space. All of the staff are really friendly and they all make the effort to say hello and know the children's names. The staff and management communicate information well and really take the time to get to know the children as individuals.
Thank you for this lovely review, all the staff work extremely hard to get to know each child individually. We have very recently redone our garden area, getting lots of new equipment for the children to explore, develop and learn with, so I'm glad that your son enjoys being out in our outdoor area when at our nursery.

I worked there for 13 years, joining as a nursery assistant. I progressed through different positions such as Nursery Practitioner, Team Leader, Deputy Manager and then Manager where I have done a lot of CPD with extra courses to further my knowledge. I am level 5 qualified and hold extra certificates in advanced safeguarding, health and safety, fire warden, SENDCo. I enjoy sailing, dog walks and a little bit of DIY!

And the last two years I have been based at one other nursery as a room leader, before joining Purley Children's Nursery earlier this year.
I'm a very family-oriented person so outside of work one of my favourite things is to spend quality time with my family and friends.
