Our daughter has been at Colville since she was 8 months old, and now for 2 years. Choosing this nursery was one of the best decisions we ever made! She has adored every stage, from baby to toddler to preschool room, and has forged friendships for life. The staff are wonderfully caring, fun and engaged, and our daughter is genuinely excited to go to nursery every day. One thing that made me choose Colville specifically is how integrated it is with the local community, with regular trips out to the local shops, market, etc. I cannot recommend this nursery enough, for the fun, but also the learning, warmth of the teachers, and the fab food the Chef cooks them daily!

Our little one has been with Colville since she was 15mths old and from the baby room to the current pre school stage, the experience has been faultless. The team are utterly caring and dedicated to nurturing strong relationships with us parents. They're super supportive when approached for guidance and advice, they are hands on with so many of the significant milestones including potty training and they work closely with parents to help navigate phasing in and out of stages like napping, providing guidance on effective approaches based on how well they get to know our child. The events held throughout the year are super inclusive and really help children and parents connect with each other. We've forged positive relationships with other parents facilitated by this social aspect, which isn't something many other nurseries commit to regularly delivering. The educational aspect is IMO superior and children learn quickly to recognise letters and sounds and begin to understand science and numbers. My little one can spell and (almost legibly) write her first name. Children are well behaved and very friendly and independence is encouraged and learnt quickly early on which is fantastic. Nutrition is a priority, with on site chef cooked meals, which is so important. Both leadership and the wider team are extremely approachable and present and inclusive and beyond dedicated. I've spoken to many parents whose children attend other nurseries and their experience is frequently negative or mixed. My experience at Colville has been entirely positive, we adore the team and are so grateful for their care, support and are so cognisant of the significant role they play in our little one's life. They are superb, and very very valued. Thank you team!

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Colville LEYF! The staff are absolutely wonderful - caring, professional, and genuinely invested in each child's development. Our daughter has thrived here thanks to the engaging activities they provide daily. A special mention for the excellent food cooked fresh on site - it's such a comfort knowing she's getting nutritious, home-cooked meals. We feel so fortunate to have found such a fantastic nursery. Highly recommended!

Colville nursery is an outstanding nursery in every way. My child is extremely happy there. It's a warm, loving & nurturing environment with amazing staff who really look after the children & do some fantastic activities with them. The food is fantastic & very varied, prepared by a chef on site. They involve the parents in activities too which is always great fun & helps foster a real sense of community - sometimes a hard thing to do in London! Also to note, we're working parents with busy jobs too & the hours are great for childcare. Highly recommended.

We were very lucky to share almost three years in Colville Nursery. The team is so fantastic, they surround you with kindness and benevolence. The team is also very well organized which relieves the parents of a lot of stress. They always take the time for you and your son. Our kid has become friends with some wonderful friends and it’s very pleasant to know that he get his own world surround by love and kindness. The best choose we did. The reputation of this nursery is already known but the experience far beyond what you can imagine. A happy parent.
