I recently moved my child to LEYF Stockwell Gardens, and I must say the team has been incredibly proactive, caring and supportive. As an overprotective parent who moved my child from a previous nursery due to safeguarding concerns, joining this setting has truly been a breath of fresh air. My child has developed so much since starting at Stockwell Gardens, and that’s all thanks to the dedicated and caring staff. Whenever I’ve had any worries, the team has always put my mind at ease. The staff are approachable, communicative, and take real accountability which, to me, is absolutely key. I’m so grateful for the positive experience and the genuine care they’ve shown both to my child and to me as a parent.

A lovely nursery with lots of space inside and outside. The staff are very caring and the children seem happy at drop-off and pick-up! They do fun activities in the toddler room & my daughter likes the soft play area as well. Be great to have more trips in future, I know this is something they are working on.

My son currently attends the preschool here and has been attending this nursery since baby room. He has developed good positive attachments with teachers from each room which is lovely to see, i was skeptical about making my child attend any nursery, but it’s a huge relief knowing that he’s well loved, safe, and cared for here at Stockwell! The staff take the time to support his development, and teach him new skills and provide support on what I can do at home to help, whether this is with behaviour, or toilet training, they’ve always been very supportive along the way, and this is something I’m truly grateful for. The team here are amazing and I immensely appreciate how well you all treat and look after my boy x
