We have been AMAZED at the standard of care at Kensington Place Day Nursery. Our daughter started at 10 months, and I already knew the standard would be high as my sister’s children all went to Maggie and Rose (the sister nursery in Chiswick). The staff have been incredible with our daughter, and really helpful and patient with us. Our daughter is now so happy to be handed over especially to her key person in the mornings. The team make so much effort with bespoke activities every day, which are incredibly creative and fun. They also make such an effort to celebrate different cultures, with classes such as Spanish music class, and marking special occasions eg Mother’s Day and world book day. We’ve been so happy with the nursery and would highly recommend it.
