Stockwell Gardens Nursery has been the most wonderful experience for my girls. The staff are brilliant and I trust them totally to look after my babies when I have to work. The nursery is always cleaned and well managed - I would suggest them for any new parents.

Our son has been at the nursery for over a year now and we've been absolutely delighted with it - the staff are lovely, very kind and fun, the food is great (shout out to Janet) and there's a real sense of community. Bhumika is very helpful and responsive with any requests we have. Would absolutely
recommend

I was very sceptical about sending my son to nursery. After visiting several nurseries including Stockwell gardens I finally made a decision to send my son to Stockwell as the other nursery didn't give me the warm welcome and connection I had with Stockwell. and it was a decision I never regretted.
My son and I absolutely love this nursery they treat him like he is their son. The nursery staff make you feel informed and secured that your child is in good hands. The settling period was the most nervous feeling I had and the staff made it an easy process for my child and I. They made sure to call me at least 2-3 times in the day to update me on him. My child is super happy to leave to go and learn and be with his peers. The only tears we get now is to go home as he enjoys his time at nursery. I want to thank the nursery for their patience and love they give him. My son has grown and learnt so much in the short time he has attended Stockwell nursery.

Both our children went to Stockwell Gardens Nursery and we have been so happy with their time there. Our kids were very happy, the staff were lovely and very engaged with the children. They provided varied and interesting activities for the children to do, and gave us lots of information about what
our kids were up to during the day. We also love Chef Janet and the food the kids get, as well as the cooking they do. There is great outside space. The management of the nursery and LEYF overall really understand and care about early years development. Would definitely recommend Stockwell Gardens nursery to any parent.

Absolutely brilliant! They are kind, caring and down to earth staff who go above and beyond for your child. The fun activities whilst also focusing on the educational side of development is so reassuring as a parent and our little boy has blossomed being there. We have so much trust in them to care
for him. They set a very high bar in nursery standards!

Stockwell Gardens is a lovely nursery. My two children have been very happy there, and the staff are always friendly, engaged and fun! They have a decent outdoor space for Central London, and good quality rooms and equipment inside. My only complaint is that the children prefer the food there to at
home.

We love Stockwell Gardens Nursery. The staff are very caring and the food is delicious. Since our little boy started there his language, social and motor skills have developed enormously. We would recommend it to anyone.

We have been very happy with our child's experience at Stockwell Gardens. The staff are all caring and supportive, and our child has really come on in leaps and bounds since he started a year ago. We'd recommend it to anyone.
28 March 2024
An incredible level of care, warm welcomes, all the staff know my child’s name and address him as he walks past, play is involved and engaging and his language and movement have developed rapidly. A very special place filled with very special and skilled staff. Also hugely appreciate the quality of
the food he is fed - whole foods, home-cooked.

Stockwell Gardens Nursery has been amazing for my little girl. She has settled in really well and the staff are fantastic. They look after her with a lot of attention and affection. The manager is a great leader who is managing a great team. My son was at an earlier nursery managed by the same
manager and he only left for school. It was my great experience from there that I decided to send my daughter to Stockwell. The daily updates are prompt and accurate and I feel very at ease dropping my child. The activities that are set up are great and very stimulating for my daughter, the pictures show that! Would 100% recommend this setting to anyone thinking of a nursery for their children!

Our daughter has been at the nursery since she was 12 months old. Leaving our baby girl with complete strangers was a really difficult time, but the staff were amazing. They allayed our anxiety and took excellent care of her. She took a few weeks to settle in, but now doesn't even turn around to say
bye when we drop her off. The children all seem really happy. And despite there being a room full of toddlers, it never seems out of control and you seldom hear or see crying. The staff seem to genuinely love the children. I've seen my daughter be comforted, cuddled and even kissed by the staff. I want my child to feel safe and loved. She has developed amazingly - her language, her physicality, her dexterity, her comprehension is far above other toddlers her age. The staff work hard to develop a range of activities such as sensory play, outdoor play, even smell activities. The chef is amazing. She eats so well and the food is fresh and healthy which was so important to us. Love LEFY!

What a fantastic team of staff, in a brilliant setting.
The team have been so supportive with our child, who potentially has some language delays. He is absolutely flourishing, and we're so grateful for his teachers' expertise, support and guidance.
To find a nursery with such great facilities
has been far beyond our expectations. Kitchen making the children's fresh meals on site, a large garden area with trikes and soft plan and sensory rooms, plus a really great light space for toddlers.
It's such peace of mind to know that each day our child happily wanders in with barely a backward glance at us, and comes home happy and a bit tired from all the fun!
27 March 2024
Friendly, helpful and supportive with children and parents.
My child is learning and developing more things as I have seen more improvement in trying to make phrases.
I did not like it when taking children outside gardening, they did not change my child's shoes.
I’ve been told from day one to get
boots and a rain suit.
I do not see that they change, I bring my child home with muddy shoes and trousers.
I did inform them.

We love Stockwell Gardens! Our daughter's been there for a year and a half since she was one, my nephew's been going for a year, and before that, our son was there for nearly four years till he started school. The staff are all really caring and loving with the children; the activities they put on
every day are engaging and fun, and the equipment and garden are great for exploring; the staff carefully think through what each child needs for their development; the management and all the staff are great with parents and keep us really well informed with what's going on at the nursery and how to support our children's development; and the food is amazing! I couldn't want any more from the nursery.

My daughter joined the nursery just over a year ago when she was under a year old. The staff in the baby room did a great job of helping her settle in. She has thrived at the nursery and has built up strong connections with the staff and the other babies/toddlers. The nursery has excellent
facilities and is well run and organised with a good level of communication with parents.
11 January 2022
My daughter started Stockwell Gardens in October 2021. The teachers were so welcoming towards myself and my wife and made us feel at ease leaving our baby at nursery for the first time.
It was so reassuring for us as first-time parents to know that our baby was being loved and cared for by such
wonderful teachers.
Our baby has made such progress and loves coming to nursery! Her face now lights up when she sees her teachers, and we couldn’t have asked for anything more as parents.

My daughter is attending Stockwell Garden Nursery, and she is really happy to come to nursery every morning. She has settled in really well, and the staff are very caring and nurturing towards the children. There is a really good partnership between the staff and the parents, and I always receive
feedback at the end of the day. The relationship between home and the nursery is excellent, and it really feels like being in a family. I will definitely recommend it to other parents.

I would thoroughly recommend Stockwell Gardens Nursery. My children love it there and are truly nurtured. They have a wonderful space including a garden, they do interesting activities and have a fabulous menu. However, most of all, the staff are all excellent and the children all happy.

Very happy with Stockwell Gardens Nursery. Our two boys both love their time at nursery and come home having learnt new skills and interacting with similar aged children. Highly recommend this nursery, with lovely staff and professional approach.
