My oldest was and my youngest is still in Kingswood Nursery! I had no doubts sending my youngest here as I knew all the amazing staff beforehand and knew exactly what was expected. My oldest is now is Primary school and she's already thriving in year 2, and my youngest in Nursery is doing so well already too! I know exactly what I need to work on with him and I'm guided exceptionally throughout. The staff is always so smily and recognise each and every child seperately. Always very helpful and supportive with any enquiries. From safeguarding to the food- I have no complaints. I'd recommend Kingswood and have already recommended the nursery to my relatives who's child is 2+. Well done to the whole team!

One of the best nursery's in the Mitcham area . We had our first daughter in Kingswood, and she had an amazing time. And when we found out that they just opened the Early Years Nursery (for babies from 3months), we registered our second daughter too. They have an amazing early years room full with new toys and they keep the children entertained doing different activities every day. The outdoor play area is very nice too. Food is freshly prepared every day in the morning and they have a variety of food and the menu changes weekly. I highly recommend Kingswood Early Years Nursery as the staff is very experienced with children and they are really looking after them throughout the day.

I am very happy with the excellent service provided by Kingswood Early Years. My 2 year old son settled in quickly with the support of the loving and caring staff. The team are friendly and approachable and happy to help with any issues. They provide daily snacks for the children and a breakfast club/hot lunch service (at extra cost) if needed. I would highly recommend this nursery.

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Kingswood Early Years. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely care about each child’s well-being and development. Our daughter has thrived there—she’s come home happy, confident, and full of stories every day. The learning environment is nurturing and creative, with plenty of hands-on activities that spark curiosity and growth. Communication with parents is excellent, and it’s clear that the team puts a lot of thought into everything they do. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of such a supportive and enriching nursery. Highly recommended!

Our son Kai has been going to Kingswood Early Years since January and we are very happy to have chosen this nursery. All staff are very kind and seem passionate about their job. He seems very happy to go to nursery. Communication has been great from day one and we love to have daily reports and to be given tips on things to work on at home to aid in his development.
