Staff and outside professionals work together to agree strategies to support children's well-being and progress. Each room has a quiet area to support children to settle.
The inspector observed the quality of the education being provided across the nursery, both indoors and outdoors and assessed the impact on children's learning.
My little one has been at Fennies since he was 1. We have had his graduation today and from day 1 until now we have loved Fennies. They have so many amazing activities for the children, the way that they teach and help the children to learn and develop is done with such care and the staff have been simply amazing! The support that my family have received through my son’s development has been second to none. I am so sad to be leaving Fennies to move on to big school.
Read on GoogleMy little one has been attending Fennies Croydon since she was 4 months old (now nearly 8). The staff is extremely professional and caring with the children, and you can see how much the children love all the staff members. They truly encourage the kids to play with each other while supervised, thanks to which my little one is developing new skills every day. And the teachers really help with introducing solids into the children's diets! Mine went from not wanting anything but milk to loving bananas and sweet potatoes. I would not hesitate to recommend it to everyone who needs their services. Please continue like this :)
Read on GoogleI recently contacted Lauren (Admissions Executive) at Fennies as I wanted to view a couple of their nurseries in Croydon. This was for my first born and therefore a whole new process for me. She guided me through everything, booked in visits and when I got all the funding application wrong, she was helpful and flexible to try and sort a solution. The CEO was supportive for a flexible placement to align with my husbands working days and pattern. This was extremely helpful as it meant I can spend time with my new baby. The nursery visit itself was welcoming, their personal goals for each child gives me reassurance that my son will thrive there and be ready for school when the time comes. The extra curricular activities like languages, garden play, art and PE are all things I would want to be offered for my little one. My son starts in June so I'm sure I'll be back to write more. My anxieties to send him somewhere away from me are no longer there and that is thanks to them. I look forward to seeing the daily updates I will see of my son thriving via their app. There is nothing they haven't thought of to make this experience positive for both parents and children. Definitely a positive experience so far.
Read on GoogleMy child has been attending Fennies Addiscombe Road since 2021. She has a number of allergies and the protocols in place at this nursery really helped reassure me that they would keep her safe at meals times and beyond. Since her first day in the baby room my child has always been excited to go to nursey, she has developed lovely relationships with the staff who all care about her. She has had the same key worker for the last 2 years! They have moved rooms with her as she grows giving her huge stability. The nursery keeps us very informed of all that goes on. The activities that the children do are very engaging and creative. They do stay and play frequently so parents and carers can see and engage with the children in their classes. I am very happy with the care and ability to play and create offered to her at fennies Addiscombe
Read on GoogleWe have been so pleased with this nursery. Our son started in Explorers 5 months ago and all staff have been so kind and caring towards him. We get regular updates on his progress and he experiences fun and engaging activities every day. It’s made the transition to returning to work much easier knowing he’s in such good hands.
