How he has thrived and learned so much over a year is a massive thank you to the lovely staff of this nursery! They have been so supportive of him and always updating us of his progress and any areas we can help him with. My son goes to nursery excited and goes home with a constant smile on his face. My husband and I couldn’t recommend them more. In fact, we have reserved a slot for our baby to attend next year.

My daughter took a while to settle in and all the staff helped massively and she loved going and has come on so so well. Would highly recommend this nursery, its a shame I am leaving the borough or I would be sending my younger daughter here too! I cannot fault the nursery or the staff at all, its sad to say goodbye but we are looking forward to the next chapter. Thank you to everyone at Alpha Day Nursery for welcoming Delilah and making her nursery experience such a special one!

I was initially impressed with how clean the nursery was, safeguarding (& the understanding of not wanting photos taken due to social media) and staff tenure. It was so overwhelming and daunting to leave your precious child in someone else's care but I couldn't recommend Alpha Day enough and it broke my heart that both my daughters (age 3 and 1) were not able to graduate there due to us moving out of the area. My girls loved the nursery and the teachers genuinely care, nurture the children and were so supportive. I was impressed by the communication, daily activities which was a combination of fun & play, learning & creativity. The teachers supported me with development areas and medical attention such as my baby needing to wear glasses/eye patch and nourished interests such as my girls' love for reading. My daughter from the age of 2 was writing, counting and knew her phonics. I love that they do yoga, sing multicultural songs, counting in other languages, play football and the menu is diverse & healthy. I wish the nursery all the best and wanted to give a special shout out to Ms Cynthia, Ms Meryem, Ms Marta and Ms Kereen whom we already miss dearly. The relationship with the girls were so special and they had so much fun which made me feel less guilty having to return to work!

I’ve been impressed with their communication with us and rapport with our daughter and all the kids we see. When we toured the nursery for the first time, I was really struck by how many of the staff have been at the nursery for years. That says a lot to me. Our daughter loves going and we appreciate how well they take care of her, offering such a variety of activities for fun and learning. Can wholeheartedly recommend.

My son attended this nursery for almost three years, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. The staff is absolutely lovely - they are warm, welcoming, and always put the children's needs first. My son quickly became attached to them. The small size of the nursery is perfect for babies.
