The staff are Stickies are amazing. They are so nurturing and kind. My children are always so happy to walk in and always come out smiling.

We love Sticky Fingers, we count ourselves lucky all the time that we found this nursery. Our eldest daughter went here and now our twins boys. The staff are so caring and our sons run in happily every morning. They have so many activities each day, have made so many friends and come home with
tonnes of artwork, songs, new words all the time. Wonderful place.

Sticky fingers is an extremely nurturing environment.
It is family owned and there is no doubt that the culture and staff retention benefits as a result.
My eldest thrived there, my younger child has settled in very well and any future children will undoubtedly go there as well.
We were at
a private equity owned nursery before and parents and staff at that nursery were treated as commodities. So this is night and day better.

Well done this small independently owned nursery. Such a loving and homely environment. For our cur children, amazing activities, structure and child led play. Amazing staff, managed so well and feel like everyone genuinely cares about all the children. All 3 of my children have gone here, it
really is a wonderful space.

A delightful nursery that combines a warm, nurturing environment with highly considered care and learning. Their excellent Montessori programme provides a rich variety of purposeful activities, and the nutritious menu reflects their commitment to children's wellbeing.

Sticky Fingers is a wonderful environment as a nursery. The team really cares about the kids and their development. We moved our daughter to Sticky when She was 2yo. She really struggled to settle (she does not like changes at all!) The staff was so patient and truly amazing with her. She's been
there for almost 2 years now and she loves going there and has truly grown her confidence. The outside could be better but honestly there is everything kids need at their age. We love the extra curriculum activities like ballet, sports and crafts with the local elderly, or going to the local library. We would move our daughter again with no hésitation!

Sticky's is a wonderful nursery. My first son spent 2 years there and loved it, and my second son is a year in. The staff are exceptional, and look after the children so well. There is a really nice family feel about the nursery, and they often get external providers in to run sessions such as
sport, ballet, and animal handling workshops. Definitely recommend!

Our daughter has been at Stickies for over two years and we couldn't recommend it more. We have experience of two other local nurseries and think Stickies is head and shoulders above them.
Why do we like it - management and leadership are excellent and create a brilliant culture. We can tell it is
run with thought, care and experience putting the children first. Staff are calm, warm, experienced and it feels like a lot of time is taken to find the right candidates - turnover also feels proportionately low compared to other settings and we value the consistency.
We like how much time the children spend outside, both in free play and activities and there is also a lot of extra curricular activities that keep the children stimulated and busy. The Montessori style means the children are supported to learn and development but at their own pace and in their own way. The nursery feels like an extended family rather than another business and we are happy really happy we found them.

Our daughter has attended Sticky Fingers for a year. She is so happy and settled and has come on leaps and bounds since joining. She enjoys a range of activities and is always happy at the end of a nursery day, full of chatter about what she's been up to. The staff are warm and caring and the
nursery really invests in its people. We love the community at the nursery and enjoy watching our daughter flourish there.

Sticky Fingers is situated in a church hall close to Earlsfield Station. The inside area is open plan, so kids have a large space to roam in, rather than being confined to just one room. Since my son started attending the nursery, his language skills and independence have improved tremendously. He
could not sing the words to songs before he started but he shocked us after one week in nursery by singing nursery rhymes (albeit garbled). The nursery manager is very hands-on and has called me personally on a number of occasions to provide updates. My son is happy there and the teachers provide a firm but caring environment for him.
There are just two small negatives. First, the nursery does not have an app or any consistent means to provide updates. You may or may not be told at pick-up about your child's food, sleep, activities etc. Second, the outdoor area is fairly small and has no grass. All this is reflected in the price - the nursery is more affordable than others.
