I'd like to sincerely thank the wonderful team at seahorse nursery for the loving care and support they provided to my daughter between the ages of one and two. During a time of many changes, the staff were consistently patient, attentive, and supportive of her emotional needs and confidence building. We truly appreciated how the nursery encouraged her language, motor, and social development-helping her learn to express herself, play with others, and build trust with caregivers. The facilities are excellent, with a rich variety of creative and sensory activities, plenty of outdoor play, and a joyful "messy play" approach that children love. It's a nurturing, stimulating environment, and I wholeheartedly recommend seahorse nursery to other families.

Our daughter has been at seahorse nursery since she was 15 months old and has just left to go to school. It isn't easy leaving your baby for the first time but the staff at seahorse were so warm, loving and caring that they made it easy for us as parents as well as our daughter. They have supported us with tips, advice and reinforcement of lots of the life skills such as potty training, teeth brushing and more recently the transition to school. As first time parents this has been invaluable to us. The woodland walk, softplay and French lessons are some of the highlights. Our daughter loved going to nursery and was always excited to see her teachers and tell them any news about what she is up to. The staff are all wonderful and take such an interest in the children. The children know the rules and learn different topics each term but they have so much fun they don't realise they are learning. She is so ready for school thanks to the support and tailored circle times from the teachers.

I honestly can't recommend Seahorse Southfields enough. My son joined just after turning 1 and has developed incredibly well during his time there. The staff are the most caring, thoughtful and kind people. They're imaginative and playful, while teaching the children language skills, physical skills, good behaviour, manners, etc. The facilities are the best of any nursery in Southfields. They have a large playground full of toys, games and fun activities, as well as a second playground with slides, swings, agility courses. There's a lovely woodland walk where the children go on a bear hunt, or look for safari animals, birds, shapes, sounds, etc. We have loved how much the team prioritises outdoor play and spending time in nature. Inside, there's also a great soft play room with ball pit, slides, hiding places, trampoline - it's amazing! They also have special visitors every month for sensory and music classes! We'll really miss Seahorse and the team!

Our daughter is leaving Seahorse after a wonderful 2 years where she has grown in confidence and independence. The nursery has been supportive and nurturing, and she is ready for reception already knowing some basics of phonics and maths. We couldn't be happier with the choice we made and recommend the nursery to all our family and friends!

I cannot recommend Seahorse Nursery enough, they are such a loving and caring nursery and my child has loved every minute there. My child was very unsure and shy, but the years there has really made them blossom, and is so much more confident and so ready for school now. They teach so many wonderful things throughout the year, and my child comes home every day so proud of the new things they have been learning about, and will happily share all the facts. The teachers and the managers are very professional and well organised, which reflects on the children, which keeps me as a parent at ease. I know my child is in the best hands everyday there.

I am absolutely thrilled with my daughter's nursery! Seahorse is an amazing place, with fantastic facilities both inside and outside. The staff is incredibly caring and attentive, and my daughter loves them all, no matter which class they're from. We receive daily feedback on her activities and progress, which gives us a great sense of involvement. The staff is always willing to accommodate any special needs or requirements we have for our little one. They're also happy to meet with us to discuss any concerns and offer useful advice on what we can implement at home. My daughter has developed a deep love for her Seahorse class, to the point where she asks every day if it's Seahorse day, even on weekends! It's a wonderful feeling knowing that she's excited to go there and feels so comfortable. I highly recommend Seahorse to any parent looking for a caring and enriching environment for their child.
31 March 2025
From the moment our daughter started at Seahorse - a little over a year ago - we were taken in by the warm atmosphere and delighted to see the quick connection she established with all of the staff. These bonds have only strengthened over time and she arrives and leaves each day with a big smile on her face! The days are varied and the regular parent / key worker catch ups are informative and re-assuring. We have felt incredibly comfortable with Seahorse since day one and really couldn't recommend it highly enough!

We love Seahorses Southfields and could not recommend them enough! From the first home visit to now (four months later) we have felt so cared for by every single member of their team. This includes people who do not work directly in my child's room as well as office members who are only sometimes in the building. The genuine care for each child is palpable and it is clear how focussed they are on centring their development and well-being in everything they do. I cannot overstate how generous our child's key person has been with her time and thoughtfulness for our daughter (and us). We feel incredibly lucky to have someone in our lives who cares for our child the way that they do. Their wealth of knowledge and experience has helped me as a parent in understanding where my daughter is developmentally and how best to support her growth at home, which has been wonderful. Seahorses Southfields has built a positive, warm, welcoming space that you can feel from the minute you walk inside.

Fantastic Nursery! This nursery has been amazing for our little one! The staff is incredibly caring and attentive, creating a warm, fun, and safe environment. The activities are engaging; our child has grown so much in confidence and learning here. Communication is excellent, with regular updates that keep us connected. Highly recommend this place; it feels like a second home for our little one!

I could not recommend Seahorses Nursery more highly! Our daughter joined when she was only 9 months old and is clearly having the best time at nursery. She has settled in so quickly and all of the staff are incredibly friendly, supportive and caring. Communication has been clear, the facilities are superb, and the range of activities has been exceptional. Our daughter could not be in better hands. Would recommend to any other parents.

Seahorse Nursery has been exceptional in their commitment to childcare. My daughter suffers from severe multiple food allergies and she had a difficult time settling. As a result, she developed selective mutism and anxiety around eating. A particular male teacher worked closely with her reassuring her with warmth, love, and patience. Members of staff encouraged her to communicate using basic language, gestures, cards, stickers, books, and one-on-one time. The extracurricular classes she has access to, language classes, and visits to the library helped increase her confidence. Managerial staff were flexible and allowed me to sit in with her during tea and made home visits, which helped her feel safe. Due to their exceptional dedication to childcare, my daughter has overcome her anxiety and is now able to communicate, eat, and drink and she is thriving at Seahorse. Members of staff went above and beyond their duty of care. I highly recommend Seahorse Nursery.

Our daughter started at Seahorse a few months ago and we've been so impressed at how welcoming and inclusive everyone has been. She has built a lovely relationship with her key person, which has really helped her grow into a confident little girl. Every morning she runs into the nursery, says hello and gives the staff in her room a cuddle before she settles in for breakfast. The daily activities are great, we love seeing and hearing what she's been up to - from making music and baking bread to messy play, and trips to the library. It's no surprise to us that she's coming home with new words every day.

We recently joined Seahorse Nursery in Southfields and have been very pleased with our experience. Our daughter has settled in wonderfully, thanks to the team's efforts in making the transition smooth and seamless. It's clear how much genuine care and passion they have for the children, which has given us great peace of mind and made returning to work much easier. The curriculum is well thought-out, and we really appreciate their personalised approach. Our daughter always ends her day with a big smile, which speaks volumes for us!

I have been so impressed by both the professionalism and the level of kindness which is shown at Seahorse (Southfields). The staff create a bright and happy environment for my son and gives me reassurance through regular feedback and communication. Keep being excellent, Seahorse Team! Would thoroughly recommend it!
10 July 2024
Our daughter absolutely loves her nursery school, she doesn't want to leave when we fetch her! The staff are amazing, supportive, nurturing and have been incredibly inclusive towards children with special needs.

We moved our daughter from a different setting to Seahorse and we have been amazed by the difference. Her interpersonal skills have developed beautifully and she is enjoying becoming more independent. Her keyworker is a superstar and always has time to fill us in about her day - something we hadn't experienced before. We know our little one is safe and well supported in this setting, and we have highly recommended it to parent friends of ours!

I enjoyed the Mother's Day play, but it was a little tight in the room (small chairs). I think it would have been better if we were all standing up around the room by the walls. In general, I am happy with the nursery, activities and learning experience my son is having every day.
22 March 2024
The nursery is fantastic. I feel safe with my child being there, and my child seems to love all of the staff. They handled the settling-in process well and made me feel confident, and my child is thriving at the nursery.

The staff have been absolutely fantastic in nurturing my child at Seahorse. They were so kind and warm and undoubtedly the best part of this nursery. Daily communications are sent to the parents by email and the app with photos. We really enjoyed getting the daily feedback over the years and seeing how my child has progressed in his numerical and literacy skills. The opportunity to speak to staff members is always there, and quick response to emails too. We couldn’t thank you enough for providing a high level of care during my child's early years and making his social and educational experience within the school setting so fun! We would always (and have been) recommend Seahorse Nursery to any parents in the area. Thank you team Seahorse!

The nursery staff were nurturing and attentive to our child and really helped them progress onto phonics and other skills which were useful in starting reception this year. In addition, they helped prepare the children mentally to move on to 'big school'. They really foster the older children taking care of the younger children and a sharing environment. Lots of outside play, forest school and activities too.
