Our son has thrived and grown into such a wonderful boy thanks to the team at Keren's. He has been there for over 2 years and we couldn't be happier. The whole team are professional, calm and very caring. They create wonderful and grounding experiences for the children every day, we get updated
daily. Nothing every seems like it's too much to ask or approach the team with. It's a really special environment and we couldn't be happier.

We've had such a positive experience with Keren's Nursery in Holland Park. Our two children have attended for the past four years and two years respectively, and it has been a truly special place for both of them.
The environment is incredibly warm, nurturing, and friendly - the staff genuinely
care about each child and really take the time to understand their individual personalities and needs. It feels very personal, which is something we've valued enormously.
The curriculum is thoughtfully designed and engaging, striking a great balance between learning and play. Our children have developed so much confidence, creativity, and independence during their time there.
It's clear why the nursery has achieved an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The level of care, attention, and professionalism is exceptional.
We feel very lucky to have been part of the Keren's community and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family looking for a wonderful nursery for their children.

We have had a fantastic experience at Keren's Holland Park, I can wholeheartedly recommend it! The staff are kind, caring, and thoughtful, the environment is beautifully kept, the activities are superb, and the kids get lots of outside time throughout the year, even during winter. We have been
particularly impressed with the food, which is all prepared on-site and very healthy. Our son had a hard time settling in after being home only with mom prior to starting around 14 months, but the staff have been patient and calm with him every morning. They are clearly experts in creating an environment where the kids can feel safe. They send updates to let me know how he's doing, and I feel completely confident in their ability to help him throughout the day. We love Keren's so much.

We are beyond grateful to Keren's nursery for providing such a wonderful home away from home for our child. The staff are attentive and caring and provide an environment that is continually inventive, alive and stimulating. Miss Paula is exceptional - as is her team. We are pleased with the balance
between free play and guided learning as well as the basic tools for life and social skills that our child is absorbing. The children are learning to celebrate life and each other in varied ways. Our child often comes back home and surprises us with new things learned. It's reassuring seeing the children's lives enriched so much beyond the home.

Keren's Holland Park is an absolutely outstanding nursery - the staff could not be kinder and more invested in our daughter's development, and the range of activities is ex excellent. We are delighted with every aspect of her care there.

Our son has been attending Keren's Nursery Holland Park since he was 9 months and attends full time 5 days per week, 9 to 6 due to our working schedule. Although, as is true of any other nursery setting, there are certain things that have room for improvement (e.g., more variety in meals and certain
aspects of organization/responsiveness of management), there is a lot to praise about the nursery and its staff and management. When our son started nursery, we were worried due to his age and how attached he was to us but, surprisingly, he was fully settled and had stopped crying at drop-offs within a week. We think this is a testament to the staff at Keren's, which are now a second family to him. Since he started, the staff have fully gained our trust as we feel they genuinely care about our son and we have been able to see first-hand the bond he has developed with his key worker and other staff members. We would not consider him attending any other nursery as he is happy and thriving.

This nursery is truly a home for the children and the staff like their family. The care is outstanding and kids grow confident, balanced and knowledgeable.
The activities, curriculum, attention of the staff are outstanding. My child will complete her 4th year next year with Kerens and i cannot
think of one thing i would suggest to improve in all these years, i have only compliments towards this nursery . They are fantastic!

Our son was 15 months when he joined Keren's. He attends full time from 8am till 4pm sometimes 5pm if our work day overruns. We couldn't be happier with Keren's. The development we've seen in him - from all the things he's learned at the nursery - has been so brilliant. He's grown in confidence with
other kids and adults. We get daily updates with a photo or two and a message, and like the fact the nursery is full of very happy energy. Also the management staff couldn't be more helpful and caring. We got great vibes from this place when we first visited and after 6 months of attending we're so glad we chose Keren's for our son's first experience of a place outside of home. On Fridays the nursery closes earlier, initially this felt a bit unusual but I like the fact that we get a long weekend with him. Keren's really does feel like a home away from home.

Dedicated team. Both practitioners and management are amazing. Every member of staff knows all of the children, Even the children that are in different rooms. Wonderful communication daily! When they first start at the nursery regular updates are given throughout the session, even if they are having
a rough morning the staff are always messaging to reassure once my child has settled down. After settling in, a daily message is sent to tell me how much my child has eaten, toileting and if they have slept. Alongside a lovely long feedback on what my child has been exposed to that day.
Independence is encouraged daily throughout my child's routine which is amazing to see at home. Can't thank the staff enough for making me and my child feel seen every single day.
21 August 2024
Can't think of a better nursery environment for our children. Incredible team with a strong passion for their job, raising confident independent children! The children are engaged in age-appropriate activities but are always pushed and challenged to learn further. It does really feel like an
extension of home! Thank you.

We've been with Keren's Holland Park for over four years now - our son spent 3 and a half years there and now our daughter is there too. Both our kids loved/love going there every day. All staff care for the children together, even though each group has its own set of teachers. They give them lots
of cuddles and love and thoughtful interaction. I don't ever worry about my kids and know that they are in safe hands. Great communication with the management at all levels, and easy communication with the teachers. Food is healthy, activities are very varied and they go outside every day as long as the weather permits. Fantastic teachers in the older group that interact with the kids as equals and treat them as big kids. I checked 7 nurseries in the area before I felt comfortable leaving my son anywhere, including all the 'best' ones in and around Notting Hill. What stands out with this nursery is that it is genuine and a home away from home. If you want your child to feel loved and cared for, this is the place!

We have two children at Keren's in Holland Park and have been very happy with our experience throughout. Our son first started attending the nursery during the pandemic months, and the level of care and attention afforded to us during the settling-in process was exceptional, especially considering
the challenges of the pandemic.
We have been so thankful for the level of support provided to us as our children have grown and developed over the years - from supporting first words and gross motor development in the younger nursery setting, working with us hand in hand during our potty training journey with a younger toddler, to encouraging verbal and maths skills in the pre-school group.
More generally, there is an absolutely lovely community surrounding the nursery - from the caring and nurturing teachers and committed management to the security guards who know all parents and children on a first-name basis. Thank you Keren's!

Both of my kids have been at Keren's Nursery since they turned one. If you are looking for a warm and nurturing place where they will feel loved, motivated to try new things and enthusiastic about their days - this is it. The nursery became our extended family and we cherish the teachers and
community so much.
07 June 2023
Keren's Nursery is a wonderful, warm and loving nursery which my child loves to go to every morning.
Every day the kids are exposed to enriching activities such as sport, forest school, baking, music, science experiments etc.
My older one grew up there, and I had no doubt that my younger one will
attend there too.
The staff members love the kids so much, and there is no such pleasure as watching your kid running every morning to their arms and getting welcomed with hugs and kisses.
There is a great flexibility with the daily time windows and the price change accordingly, as other nurseries in the area gives the option for morning and/or afternoon sessions.
I highly recommend this nursery!
There is no doubt it is the best in the area!

Our kids love Keren's Nursery. They started in the baby room and run in everyday beaming. We've seen their confidence and independence develop over the last 3 years and believe the care, attention and activities organised by Keren's teachers have contributed greatly to this.
We love the variety of
activities offered, the focus on learning and celebrating cultures around the world, and in particular the focus on nature (planting seeds, baby chicks, animal visits) and outdoor activities, with tennis and forest school the highlights for us. The nursery also has plenty of outdoor space: an alley, garden area and use of the large private square across the road. We love getting daily reports and pictures and seeing updates on the app.
The nursery closes early on Fridays, during a few Jewish holidays and a couple of weeks over summer, Christmas and Easter, however, a calendar is provided in advance. It can be challenging as working parents, but we see it as good preparation for school!

Keren’s nursery is incredibly welcoming and nurturing for children and parents. We have had our 2 children at Keren’s (our daughter is still attending) and have had a great experience. The space is divided in 3 levels occupied by different age groups. There is a strong educational focus especially
in the older age groups where children learn to write their names and develop social skills or for the younger ones, be potty trained. There are many events throughout the year where parents are invited to attend and where staff puts a lot of effort to prepare. There are additional days off during Jewish holidays and Fridays are short days (ending at 12:30 in winter and 2:00 pm in summer) but there is no half-term break which somewhat makes up for it. Communication with management has been very good so overall, we feel that our children are safe and taken care of at Keren’s and would definitely recommend.
21 May 2023
I highly recommend the nursery for early education as it provides a nurturing environment for my two kids. The forest school activities engage their curiosity and foster their love for nature, promoting a holistic learning experience. The tennis sessions not only teach them physical coordination but
also promote teamwork and discipline. The opportunity for them to play together in a safe and supervised setting encourages socialization and helps develop their communication skills. The nursery's focus on stimulating the kids' minds through various activities ensures their cognitive growth and prepares them for future academic challenges. Overall, it's a fantastic place that prioritizes the well-rounded development of young children.
21 May 2023
Like all parents, my child is my soul and leaving her anywhere was always hard. But when we leave her at Keren, whatever the mood, we feel safe, and she is happy and learns so much. It is perfect. She learns a ton, she is outside, she feels safe, she loves her teachers. Best judgment!
21 February 2023
High turnover of staff; Use of outside agency to cover staff needs which translates into new faces coming every few weeks making kids frustrated. The permanent staff is inexperienced. Quarterly development reports are poorly written and very vague. Poor communication of what kids ate or did every
day (it seems like repeating the same report every day). Space for kids' naps is not proper. The nursery could be closed for some extra days during September and October because of Jewish holidays (the nursery is located in a Synagogue). For these extra days the nursery is closed, the monthly fee remains the same and no care is taken by the nursery to offer some other venue for these days. Fees are increased annually by 10% but the quality of services remains the same or gets worse.
