Our eldest daughter has been going to Fledgelings Day Nursery for 2.5 years (from baby room to pre-school). We are very happy with the nursery and feel it was the right fit for our daughter. The hours are good and fit in with our working schedules. The garden space is brilliant and the different rooms are vibrant and full of aged appropriate activities. Children are encouraged to be independent and are well cared for. The staff greet our child with open arms and are kind and welcoming. The food is varied and nutritious and the Family app is regularly updated and a good way to communicate with parents. If there are any issues, staff are easy to talk to and open to feedback. We are very happy with the nursery and have chosen to enrol our youngest daughter too.

My daughter has had an amazing time at Fledgelings Day Nursery and has thoroughly enjoyed the couple of years that she has been there. When she started she was quite shy and quiet, but she has truly thrived whilst been there and has become so much more confident and independent. The staff at the nursery are all amazing and as a family we have had the privilege of knowing lots of them for the past 5 years whilst my son was at nursery too. They are so caring and supportive to the children and the way they nurture their learning and development is brilliant. The activities and learning that they do with the children are fun, engaging and creative and my daughter loves to tell and show me what she has been learning each week. I would highly recommend this nursery- the teachers are lovely and it's a fantastic place for children to learn, grow and flourish!

My child had a very happy start in life by attending FLEDGELINGS Day Nursery in Romford. He attended two days a week. Whilst there he made lots of new friends, he enjoyed taking part in lots of activities and having free play in the lovely garden. He always ate and slept well whilst there, and came home with a smile. He made good relationships with his key workers and other staff within the nursery. We would recommend FLEDGELINGS to other parents looking for a happy, safe and fun environment for their child.

We were really happy with this nursery from the outset. We all felt comfortable and at ease when looking around and the staff are pleasant and are so good with the children. They are really dedicated to caring for the children and they have various events and activities and themed weeks so the children get to know what's happening in the world etc. Our daughter has been happy there and that is the most important marker for me. Have a look for yourself and just see how you feel when going round.
