Our daughter has been attending this nursery for almost two years, and she absolutely loves it. She looks forward to spending time with her friends and the wonderful team of staff and teachers. We've seen such amazing progress in her development, and it's clear she's both happy and thriving. The facilities are excellent, and what we appreciate most is how she's always encouraged to be herself in such a nurturing and supportive environment.

As a Parent, I truly feel that Snowflakes Nursery is absolutely incredible. Words don’t really give justice to how I feel about the staff and the environment. My daughter has been attending the Nursery in Norwood Green since June and she is incredibly happy there and absolutely thriving! My main priority for my daughter is that she is happy and she exceeds this happiness on so many levels when attending nursery. Secondly, I obviously want her to learn and thrive and this is also exceeded at Nursery. She has made so much progress since starting Nursery in June and I truly believe this is down to the hard work and dedication of all the staff. The love and care that the staff show her is overwhelming. She is obviously our precious little baby and we really couldn’t ask for any more. She is surrounded by such wonderful people who, like I said, genuinely, truly care about her and her overall well-being. The feedback we get on EY Log is fantastic and every day when we collect my daughter we also get daily feedback about her day as well. Prior to finding a Nursery, I did feel slightly anxious about finding the right place for my daughter because as a parent, it is a huge deal, leaving your baby with people that initially you don’t know very well, all day, every day. However, my nervousness very quickly dissolved as soon as she started at Snowflakes. The family who run Snowflakes Nursery are incredibly knowledgeable and clearly fantastic leaders! They are extremely welcoming and approachable. I honestly couldn’t recommend this nursery enough!

It is an excellent nursery for our little ones. When it was time to choose a nursery for our little boy, our intuition made us choose "snowflakes" and time has shown that we were not wrong. The staff is very nice, welcoming and patient depending on each child. I am very satisfied and if we had to choose again, we would choose this nursery without a doubt.

Sent both of my children here (one of which from 3 months) all the way to school. It's a brilliant nursery, the team will 100% tailor/individualize your child's own unique needs. Everything from foundational learning/ sports / table manners and of course fun is a daily part of life at Snowflakes! Thoroughly recommend this place if you want your child cared for by a highly passionate family run business. Thank you for everything guys.
