Our son started at First Day Nursery this summer when he was just under a year old. He settled in within a couple of days and absolutely loves it there.The staff are super friendly and engaging, providing daily updates via the app as well as during pick up. They are also invested in our son's development and we are constantly impressed with the new things he has learnt at nursery. Huge thank you to all the staff, especially Kay, Kim and Liberty who have been key contact people for my son.

Sending your child to nursery is difficult for any parent. You want to make the right choice so your little one is happy and therefore develops. During Covid my child did not have the opportunity to interact with other children or be held by other members of family for the first 12 months of his life. Going to nursery was going to be a difficult step. The staff at Maisie Poppins have been more than amazing in helping my son settle in. I can leave him at the door knowing he is in safe hands. As a parent of course I worry, that's natural, but I don't worry about the care he is experiencing. He started two weeks ago and he still has a little way to go but I see a huge difference in his confidence and development. Maisie Poppins has been the right choice and my son is happy.

Maisie Poppins is such a wonderful nursery and preschool! Our son has been so very well cared for by them, especially after he developed a medical condition shortly after joining. Maisie and all of her staff have been so supportive and accommodating to his needs and we feel completely comfortable leaving him there as we know that he is in such safe hands. He absolutely loves going and runs in without a second glance! We couldn't recommend Maisie Poppins enough.

Maisie Poppins nursery is a haven for our little ones. Just off busy Mare St. in Hackney they step into a bubble of love, care and inclusion. We could not say thank you enough to the incredible staff who take care of our little boy. Having special needs, we were very careful in our choice of nursery. Maisie and her team have surpassed any expectations we could have had. They are thoughtful, proactive and responsive. Communication channels are open and everyone who works there creates a welcoming, supportive environment. Our little guy has thrived in the nursery setting. I have no doubt that his development is further than it could ever have been because of their input. Every week a theme is carefully selected and the activities are set up to stimulate little ones minds. I am always in awe of the incredible effort that the staff make to create a fantastic learning experience every day. We have never felt that our little boy is being treated differently, rather the ethos of inclusion is lived and breathed every day. We couldn't ask for more!

By far the best nursery in the area, my son absolutely loves coming here! Everything is so well thought out, lots of time spent in the garden and the food is nutritious and delicious. I don’t have any concerns whatsoever sending my son as I know he’s having the best time! Have recommended to all my friends. Also Maisie is so great and clearly cares hugely for the children’s well-being and development.
