A very happy and nice place was for my kid Mansour who studied in this place in year 2015. My son Mansour love to visit this place again to refresh the old memories and take pictures for future memories.

I visited the nursery today and was thoroughly impressed by the positive and energetic atmosphere. It was Sports Day, and it was heartwarming to see parents, children, and staff so well-involved and organised. This nursery truly provides the best environment and educational opportunities for the children. The outdoor area is expansive and well-equipped, offering a variety of resources that encourage exploration and independent learning. The open-ended resources allow children to engage in creative and self-directed activities, all while being supported by a highly professional and dedicated team. The commitment of the staff to fostering a nurturing and stimulating environment is evident, making this nursery an excellent choice for early childhood education.

My three children attended the garden nursery, full time from approx. 8 months old. My 4 year old son “graduated” in September 2022. The nursery is magnificent. Warm, generous and kind staff has helped them tremendously, my children are confident and interact so well with other children. The team’s careful coaching and direction has made the children’s start into school life seamless. Special thanks to Laurence, Tom and the Garden Nursery Team.

The best nursery ever! The team is so empathetic, kind, and warm. Always safe and happy here. My daughter was there for almost a year and learned so much. Special thanks to Holly, Magda, Laurence, Wayne, Jaslyn, and Tom - but all of them are great and professional.

The best find of the year! Checked a few nurseries around Chiswick were we live, and an outdoor space is a big issue with all of them. Not here! Huge garden, 2 trampolines, swings, real lawn. Nice people, relaxed and family like atmosphere. All kids seem to be so happy there! My daughter absolutely loves going there.
