Royal Oak Nursery & Pre-School offers childcare and early years education for children from birth to 5 years old.

The nursery is located on Harrow Road, close to Royal Oak and Warwick Avenue tube stations.

The team of experienced staff plan each day with input from the children. There’s always something exciting happening: open-fire cooking, obstacle courses, science experiments, messy arts play, and more! The children also love getting out into the local community, whether it’s trips to nearby shops or visits to the local care home.

The nursery is bright and spacious, with a large outdoor play area. The on-site chef prepares all meals using recipes from LEYF's nutritious menu.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I've had nothing but a positive experience at Harrow Road Nursery and Preschool.
The staff are kind and warm, my antisocial 1-year-old who had never been away from me settled in pretty much immediately (I almost felt offended.)
The communication is fantastic, I'm kept in the loop with pictures and
updates. The best thing for me personally, is that they let me know what she's eaten and how much she liked it so I know what snacks to buy at home.
They showed understanding and flexibility during our enrollment process.
Generally a nice nursery, it's clean and has a nice vibe. My son attended eight years ago and I was happy then but he was pre-school age so I was less apprehensive as he could talk and communicate any issues he had. But with a baby, the threshold for trust is much higher and they have been fantastic.
Would (and often do,) recommend to any parent in the area.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My eldest has attended this nursery since 2020 and he loves it. He’s grown a real bond with his last key workers and now his previous. When he joined he wasn’t potty trained and I was so anxious about starting. Thank you to a member of staff who made me feel at ease, even when my son would have some
accidents she always reassured me and my son. He will be moving on to another nursery soon (due to the cost of living) and I’m truly sad for him to say goodbye, especially to his current key worker. She is truly the kindest, most gentle key worker my son has ever had. On days when my son has felt overwhelmed, she has met me at the door (even when she’s busy) to regulate his emotions. Thank you.
My youngest will be joining in the next few weeks and I’m excited for him to start this new journey with this nursery. If I had the money I would have both my boys here together because I love the way the staff care for them and are always working alongside me.

My children have attended Harrow Road Nursery and love their teachers and the activities they are part of. I could never have imagined the development opportunities they would have throughout their baby, toddler, and pre-school years. Let alone the meals that are available to them. The staff are loving
and friendly and considered part of our extended family as my children love them so much. I’ve recommended it to many people looking for a day nursery in the area.

I have been very lucky to have sent my kids to this nursery (little one still in baby room, eldest one now moved on but still so well greeted and loved every time we do pick up of her brother). Feels like home to us now, I trust the staff completely despite all the challenging situations and sometimes
pretty overwhelming rules. They all work so hard and most importantly do love the little ones. Would highly recommend.

My son has been attending the nursery in 2020 for a couple of years and my daughter is now attending for a year and a half.
They learnt how to speak English and learnt/improved many skills.
The staff is great and we feel like they are really taking time to know each kid and parents.
We trust the
staff and feel like our children were/are learning in a safe environment
We are now moving to another area so we have to change nursery, I know our daughter (and us) will miss it very much!

My son has been attending Harrow Road Nursery & Pre-School since 2019. He is very happy and we are very grateful for the rich learning environment in the nursery. My child had speech and language delay. I have been supported by the management team extremely well and she has provided so many activities
and arranged a meeting with a speech and language therapist for my son. He is now progressing so well and ready for the reception.

My child enjoys nursery, the staff and the environment. I’m pleased with the additional activities in place to aide in growth. From the sensory room, to regular yoga and the routine of positive affirmations, all of which is inline with my personal values.

This particular nursery has the most amazing and supportive staff and management. The immense support and encouragement the nursery gave for my child to develop language and communication is impeccable and understanding of my daughters needs and care. My child has begun to bloom into her own little
person who is independent and learning, excited and loving her nursery. Thank you all in this nursery for genuinely caring, supporting and developing my child's learning. Thank you for everything you did for my daughter.

My little daughter have been there for two terms and she learned lots of new words, rhymes with actions, science and lots more. The staff was so lovely and helpful, they helped her to settle and kept me posted about how she was doing everyday. I am likely to recommend this nursery for your kids.

Our son has recently started at Harrow Road Nursery & Pre-School. We have been really well looked after during the settling in process. The staff are absolutely lovely. They are clearly very kind and professional towards my son and have been very flexible to meet his needs. They are never too busy to
give me an update as to how he is getting on. Although he's only been going for a few weeks, he already seems to be thriving. He also really loves the food, so compliments to the chef!

Both my children went to Harrow Road Nursery & Pre-School, it was a recommendation from my sister. As a parent I have very high expectations for my kids. This nursery was a perfect fit! Both my children are now age three and four, are well spoken, very independent, caring, loving, love reading and love
outdoor activities. The teachers challenge the kids to reach their full potential at that age. I liked the app, where you can see updates, assessments and progress. All in all, I highly recommend for children to start here.

I knew as soon as I stepped into Harrow Road Nursery & Pre-School, having visited over ten other nurseries in the locality, that this is where I wanted my daughter to go. The nursery has a home from home feeling, relatively small numbers of babies and toddlers, its bright and has an organised and targeted
approach to nurturing, learning and development. They have a beautiful large garden that my daughter loves to play in. Although it is a new building, they have made it so homely and welcoming.

I recommend this school as it is a child friendly place and the teachers take care of the children very nicely and also my son has had a teacher that had taken care of him for the past 6 months and she has taken great care of him, had taught him a variety of things to do at home and he has changed his
behaviour to be more positive and has become more calm and collective. He has learnt a range of skills that he is able to use for communication and has become more confident being around a large group of people.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attended this nursery for over 2 years and was very happy. The staff were always helpful, caring and reassuring. The environment and atmosphere were welcoming and it always felt like a home from home. Whilst he was in the nursery he learnt so much, building his confidence and making an easy and
successful transition to school. He also built a secure relationship with all the teachers who he still remembers, pointing out the nursery any time we pass by smiling and saying “this is my little school”.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.907)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.907) out of 10 for Royal Oak Nursery and Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.907 for Royal Oak Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (196 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.907
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Royal Oak Nursery and Pre-School is based on 18 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 65 number of registered child places is 13, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
