Our daughter has been at the nursery since she was 1 and is now 4 and in preschool. The nursery team continue to provide a high standard of care, alongside providing rich and varied activities and experiences. The growth in my daughter continues to amaze me, even week on week I can see learning and
development. She loves the Spanish and PE lessons, as well as the many opportunities to learn about different topics and cooking. The care provided by the team is visible and I can see that all those supporting our daughter are invested in her learning and development.

Our son joined Anerley Day when he was nearly 3 years old (we moved houses at the time) and he has been enjoying all the activities and learning so far. He has made great friends and we like to view regular updates, photos and comments on the app, showing our son being involved with the activities
and other children. It is a big nursery with a lot of kids around and a big pool of staff, which has sometimes been slightly unsettling if his key carers move to another room or leave the nursery. However every staff member is genuinely nice, caring and engaging with the children so that's very positive. We love the variety of activities the kids do: singing, reading, crafting, baking, drawing, getting messy with new textures, building objects, etc. Also a great thing is the weekly themes where children learn about a specific topic such as Space, Science, Super-heroes, Maths, etc. The staff also take the kids out to the library or the park or even went to buy fishes to have as pets :)

We love the nursery, every staff member is excellent and our child is very happy there. There is always a theme to the week/day, and lots of embedded learning alongside playful activities. We get updates daily about what they're up to both at pick up and on the app.

Really lovely nursery with a friendly team who all have a genuine connection with our daughter. Our daughter talks about all of her carers with great fondness and excitedly points out the nursery every time we go past. She eats well, sleeps well and is excited to see everyone every day which I think
is a great sign that she has a wonderful time. We are allocated a key person in each class (although in reality it feels like at least 2/3 build a really strong bond) and we periodically have meetings to discuss the development progress, areas that are doing well and areas to work on, and we get a little insight of how much they care about our child in the way they can speak at length about their quirks and personality which is really reassuring as a parent to know how safe your child will feel on a daily basis.

I honestly couldn't recommended Anerley day nursery more. I was super nervous to start my son in a nursery and they went above and beyond to make sure he was settled. I have always felt extremely safe leaving him there for the day and have felt how much he is cared for each day. He has built such a
strong relationship with staff and mentions their name all day and night which clearly indicates the love he feels for them too. He always comes back happy after his day and any requests that I've asked them to do has been no problem. They update on the app well and message you directly for anything you've messaged about. It's a great nursery with a great team.

Great nursery, the staff offer a range of support for both child and parent!
The staff are very polite and have a great line of communication, both in person and when away from my child while he is in their care. Amazing learning facilities with so many activities to choose from!

Fantastic nursery. The team are brilliant and really cares about the children and seems to know them really well. There are lots of creative and interesting activities to support their learning and to help them develop; for example, learning about road safety, or helping to cook lunch. Our son is
really happy there and I would 100% recommend it!

Our daughter loves going to Anerley Day Nursery. The staff are friendly and attentive, we are kept up to date well as parents and we have seen our child develop new skills and expand her vocabulary every week. Activities are very varied and creative, it is a joy to see. The nursery seems well
managed which is an impression we got from our very first contact onwards and always responsive, flexible and helpful. We couldn't have asked for a better place for our daughter.

A pleasant setting with lots of space and thought-out areas and enough outside space for a London location. Staff seem friendly, take time to update us and appear to have genuine connections with our children. Since new management and ownership in the last couple of years, it is much improved, with
a far more human touch and less staff turnover. Also wonderful to see some male staff, in such a key role for children's development.

Our daughter has been at Anerley Day Nursery for almost 3 years. From the start, she has been very happy there. The team are fantastic and I'm confident that she is very well looked after. There seems to be constant activity and support for educational development. The meals are all cooked on-site
and look healthy and balanced.
I think it's a safe, loving and stimulating environment for my child.

Very happy with the nursery. My son has been really happy here. The nursery team keeps us up to date. Excellent food for children. Very happy. Regular stay and plays, regular parents' evenings help to involve parents.

A wonderful place with great toys and decor for children, lovely staff and caring. They genuinely care about children and I can see this when dropping my son who is smiling and jumping to get in. Highly recommended.

Normally I am not writing reviews, however, I decided to do so for other parents who might be reading these, like I did when I decided to enrol my child here. There are activities during the day, however these are not always communicated with parents so we are not always aware what our child is
doing unless we ask specifically for more information. Few times that we joined the nursery for parents/kids activities we felt that staff did not have any special bonds with our son which is sad to think especially when he spends five days a week there. The garden in the back is small so we feel that was ok up until 2.5 years old, but as kids need to be more active a bigger garden would be beneficial to release their energy. Once Grandir took over changes are just announced and it's hard to understand to who to talk to. Also on the website outings to local parks are advertised but these are not happening. On the good side the food is freshly made onsite every day!

My son has been attending the nursery for a number of months now - I was originally intending to use a different nursery but after a viewing with the manager and another particular member of staff I was won over to Anerley Day Nursery. On a later visit they also promised to make sure my baby would
be well cared for and greatly reassured me. I am a very nervous mum as my little man is my world!
He is happy to be there in the mornings, and is smiley and cheerful at pickup. They went the extra mile with his settling, which was greatly appreciated, and room staff and nursery management are happy to talk through any concerns with me in person or through the app. Photos and feedback are also regularly updated using the app throughout the week, which provides a nice insight to his experiences. Room leader (his key person) and her team, have taken good care of him.
The room is very nice - recently refurbished and with good facilities. The staff set up a different theme each week for the children, with garden and park time.

My son has been at the nursery since he was 5 months old, the team have gone above and beyond to support my son from day one, my daughter also used to attend the nursery and there has been two consistent staff since then that have been like family, could not have asked for a better setting. Every
single person is friendly and really goes above and beyond. Even though my son has special needs he is not treated any different. He is loved by everyone in the building from the management team to the staff in the kitchen. Anerley Day Nursery really has given me a home-from-home experience and can’t recommend it enough to anyone looking for somewhere that their child will be happy!

The nursery creates a safe and fun environment where my little man can flourish.
The activities are varied and age-appropriate. The parent's evenings are very informative and provide great insight into development and progression.
We love the stay-and-play, it's amazing to step into my little
man's world, to see what activities they are enjoying and how they are interacting with other children.
The food is varied and wonderful to see little man exploring new foods.

Great experience, the staff are really helpful and I feel it has really helped with my daughter's development. I have nothing but good words for how they have handled the care of my daughter and frequently kept us up to date with her activities.

My son started nursery in January at 11 months old and has always been nervous around people he doesn’t know, but his key worker is absolutely fantastic and now he puts his arms out at the door, which just shows me how safe he feels there.
Excellent communication through the app, and I’m never
made to feel like I’m pestering the staff too much when I have loads of questions about his day.
My son has definitely become more confident since starting nursery, which has made social settings easier for us outside of nursery, so thank you so much.
15 March 2024
My daughter loves her time at nursery and has developed really strong social, speaking, numerical and practical skills from being at nursery since she was 1. The staff are brilliant and I know my daughter is being well looked after. Thank you.

Both of my children attend this nursery, and the care for them has been exceptional.
The staff are outstanding and go out of their way to look after the children.
10/10 recommended.
