My son is going since 1 years. Generally I don't add any review but I had to add this review because this nursery is amazing. I am giving 5 star as I really like this nursery. All staff members are very kind and friendly. In term of hygienic, kitchen and classes are very neat and clean. In terms of food, they provide three times hygienic food with seasonal fruits and vegetables- breakfast, lunch and tea. I really like food menus which provides all vitamins and minerals. In terms of new learning, every day I can see my son is learning new skills. I know it could be little bit hard to pay that much amount but It's really worthy to spend money if our child is getting all these benefits.

Our daughter is forever talking about the fun activities she is doing, and her development has improved dramatically over the past year. She has become confident through the various activities she participates in which includes stage performances, role play and much more. Ghanshyam Nursery is an excellent nursery for anyone looking to send their children in to full time care.

Both my sons attend this Nursery. Being a vegetarian it is extremely comforting knowing that my kids are being fed a wide variety of hot vegetarian meals from various cuisines. The teachers have also made great efforts to develop their gross motor, fine motor, speech and language, social and emotional skills. Very competitive rates too! Definitely recommend this GNS.

We recently moved our daughter to Ghanshyam nursery from Wembley Park Montessori. We were delighted in the way she settled in, the staff and management have been great and she is thoroughly enjoying herself. As an Indian parent it delights me knowing she is being fed a variation of western and Gujarati food; all served hot! It makes parenting and introducing new food at home a lot more easy.

The team members at the nursery are commendable for their efforts, although there are opportunities for improvement with a small number of individuals. The primary factor influencing this review pertains to the leadership and operational aspects of the nursery, where enhancements in integrity and communication could be beneficial.
