I was looking for something different for my daughter - who was struggling at a different nursery with lots of loud children in a small space - When we viewed Bal Krishna she loved it instantly and I can honestly say this nursery has changed our lives. The mornings used to be a battle, with emotional goodbyes and me feeling guilty - but at this nursery, shes happy in the mornings, she runs through the door smiling and waves me happily goodbye. Its clear at Bal Krishna that the team genuinely love child care and they spend so much time inventing new and exciting activities for the children. Every day theres something new and interesting so the kids never get bored. This makes the whole atmosphere calmer and happier. Also the space itself is so unique with a huge indoor hall and purpose built new classrooms, garden- It doesnt ever feel busy or cramped like so many others do. I cannot recommend this nursery enough - genuine, well-managed and spacious - A rare find in London!
