We couldn’t be happier with this nursery! The staff are incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely care about the children. The environment is always clean, welcoming, and full of fun, educational activities. Our child has grown so much in confidence and happiness since starting here, and it’s such a comfort knowing they’re in safe, loving hands every day. Communication with parents is excellent, and you can really see the passion the team has for what they do. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive nursery.

What a wonderful nursery. All three of my children have attended maytime and I honestly could not recommend it more. The staff are so caring and kind. Natasha is a fantastic manager who goes above and beyond always. Thank you so much for making it so easy for me to go to work and feel comfortable doing so!!!

What an amazing place this nursery is! Natasha is fantastic, the way she keeps us updated about every little thing is really impressive. Her team is great too, Fatima, Pam, Shamima, Nabila have all been wonderful. I can’t explain the peace of mind I feel when I leave my son here. I know he’s well looked after and enjoys his time. We live in Barking, so Maytime is quite far for us, but we chose this nursery after visiting many others because we felt a warmth here on the very first day that we didn’t feel anywhere else. I’m so glad we made the right choice!!

I chose Maytime for my second son because of my experience with them from my first. My eldest boy is now aged 9 and the nursery made a positive impact to my son moving into school. The staff are very supportive, friendly and hardworking. My son's teachers treat my baby like their own and I couldn't be happier.
