Pixie Nursery is the best childcare provider in Palmers Green/Winchmore Hill are. Being a mother of 3 i have used a few different nurseries/childminders and can assure you Pixie is the best. The nursery itself is great with loads of options to play. Everything is clean. The days are well structured, kids have a solid routine and don't get bored. What makes Pixie truly special is their owners, Maria and Angelos, who make the children feel safe and loved. It feels like leaving the children with grandparents and you can stay assured they are properly looked after.

My 2 children who are now in Primary school had a lovely time at Pixie. They both were always very happy to go. The owners Catherine and Jane are great owners and very accommodating to parents. Their staff turnover is low giving the kids continuity and security. I am very grateful.
