Review from C M (Mother of Child) published on 1 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son Carlo (1 yo) started at Kinderzimmer South Kensington in September, and after two months we couldn't be happier. He's always cheerful and excited to go in the morning, and we pick him up just as happy at the end of the day. The environment is beautiful and brand new, with bright spaces and even
a lovely outdoor area.
The staff are absolutely fantastic - truly lovely people. A special thank you to all the teachers, who are incredibly caring, attentive, and always greet us with a smile. We feel completely confident that Carlo is in the best hands.
We're so grateful to have found such a nurturing, joyful place for our son. Highly recommended!

Exceptional Nursery Experience at Kinderzimmer South Kensington!
We couldn't wish for a better nursery for our 18-month-old son. The team is truly outstanding - Biljana, Khadizah, Jodie, Lindsay, Leah, Mary, Dhovi, Susie and everyone else are incredibly dedicated and caring. Their commitment was especially
evident during the London tube strikes, when all staff remained fully present and supportive.
The facility itself is modern, spotless, and built to the highest standards. The extended opening hours offer fantastic flexibility for working parents, which we deeply appreciate.
We receive regular updates with messages and photos, keeping us closely connected to our son's daily experiences. Most importantly, he is thriving-happy, growing, and walking into nursery each day with a big smile (and as we all know, children never fake joy!).
We highly recommend Kinderzimmer to any parent looking for a nurturing, professional, and joyful environment. Thank you for the incredible support!

Very happy with Kinderzimmer. Our baby has settled in very well and every time we pick her up she's very happy and smiley. Kinderzimmer staff is amazing, very attentive, kind, caring and creative, providing a lot of different activities for all children including the smaller ones. Special thanks to
Susie and Oznur for providing a safe and playful environment for our baby to thrive every day. Thank you

Review from Y S (Mother of Child) published on 7 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are absolutely delighted with our choice of Kinderzimmer for our now 18-month-old daughter. The management and carers are incredibly friendly, caring, attentive. They truly take the time to get to know each child as an individual, and the atmosphere is consistently warm and loving.


The food offering

is varied and nutritious, and the daily activities are wonderfully diverse - from creative play to regular time outdoors. The children spend time in the garden every day or go on little outings, which our daughter absolutely loves.


We also really appreciate the Kinderzimmer app, which keeps us updated every day about our daughter's meals, naps, and activities, and provides a lovely, personalised weekly summary full of photos and kind words.


After the settling-in period, she now goes to nursery happily every morning, and we feel very confident and comfortable leaving her in such caring hands. We couldn't be happier with Kinderzimmer and highly recommend it to any parents.

Review from Maria T (Mother of Child) published on 9 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Excellent experience! My son started at 8months and we've had a very smooth settling in period. I can tell that he's having a great time because whenever I pick him up he is happy and extremely smiley with staff members. In just a couple weeks he went from barely being able to sit on his own to crawling!


The head of nursery has been incredible! She knows all the details about every kid in the nursery and is really on top of any medical condition/medication that needs to be taken. The staff members have been excellent in taking great care of my son and they managed to make him nap according to a specific schedule, which is of immense help!


Finally, the app has been a great tool because it gives me all the details I need in terms of how much he ate and slept so I can plan the rest of the evening accordingly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
kinderzimmer South Kensington has exceeded our expectations in every possible way. The facilities are positively top-of-the-line, no expense spared; from the garden, to the kitchens, play and sleep areas it's like a five-star hotel. Most importantly to me, the staff is what truly sets this place apart.
Every single member of the staff is warm, friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely loves children. My daughter can't wait to get to school every morning, and I have the peace of mind that she is well taken care of. Besides being fully entertained throughout the day with a plethora of learning activities, she is always well-fed and changed immediately. She has never been able to nap at her previous nursery and she was able to nap here on her first day! She's always sent home with a clean nappy and a huge smile. The communication with the nursery is excellent with the help of the app and the head of nursery will make you feel like you and your child are of the highest priority. Can't recommend this nursery enough!

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.923)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.923) out of 10 for kinderzimmer South Kensington is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 6 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 4.986 for kinderzimmer South Kensington is calculated as follows: ( (70 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.986
  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 3.937 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for kinderzimmer South Kensington is based on 6 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 = 3.6
    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 89 number of registered child places is 17.8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.8 = 0.337
  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.

Biljana Dokmanovic

Job Title: Head of Nursery Joined: 2025

I am proud to have dedicated over 25 years to the Early Years sector. Originally from Bosnia, I chose to pursue a career in childcare because it has always been my true passion. I began this journey by completing my Level 3 Childcare qualification at college, which laid the foundation for my professional growth.


Throughout my career, I have held various roles with different childcare providers. This diverse experience has greatly enriched my knowledge and skills, allowing me to grow both personally and professionally and to contribute meaningfully to the Early Years community. My journey continues at kinderzimmer South Kensington, where I truly enjoy my work and remain fully dedicated to leading the nursery towards achieving the best outcomes for every individual child.


I am committed to providing our families with exceptional service and to consistently delivering outstanding care while fostering trust within my team. Our bespoke setting and curriculum lay a strong foundation for each child’s development, allowing us to offer a truly personalised approach that reflects their individual learning styles, interests, and stages of growth. Our enabling environments inspire independence, exploration, curiosity, and most importantly, fun!


I am a passionate baker and often surprise my team with a variety of homemade cakes and biscuits. In my free time, I enjoy visiting farms and spending time in nature. I also have a love for art and storytelling, and I find it fascinating to see the children listening so carefully to stories, waiting patiently to hear how they end.


I am a positive person who brings joy to those around me, especially the children. Receiving a cuddle from a child at the end of a hard day is one of the best feelings in the world and fills me with joy about my work.
