Our daughter has been attending The Vineyard Nursery since she was just a baby, and she's now turning 4 years old. The staff is really caring and nurturing. We couldn't be happier with our daughter's development, social skills and all the things she has learnt (even foreign languages, cooking and gardening!) The outdoor space is relatively small but they make up for it with beautiful indoor spaces and they have started to take the kids for outings. I would recommend this Nursery to anyone with small children in Richmond.

I couldn’t recommend The Vineyard Nursery enough. Such a lovely, caring and enriching environment that shows through my children’s excitement every day. The staff and management are so supportive and show genuine care for the well-being and development of each child, which I’d like to thank as it makes the children’s experience worthwhile. I always received great support from the staff regarding my children ‘a progress which is lovely to hear about. I also, love their Covid -19 protocol, which reassured me as my children are learning and thriving and the place is always safe and clean. I’m very happy with my children going here.

Excellent nursery with the most amazing staff. Our daughter joined at four months and several years later has a second family (shout out to Anna,Vesna and the whole team) who have helped make her a happy, smart and caring young girl. We could not be happier with our choice…

Such a lovely happy place for children. My son has started the nursey nearly 2years ago, he still very keen to go to the nursery funny enough he asks to take him to the nursery at the weekend. I always received great support from the team and management about my child learning and behaviour. So happy with my choice.

A cute little nursery, a happy place for children. My son started this nursery 1 year ago, and in the beginning he was always crying when I dropped him off, now he walks in by himself and he's such a happy boy, he loves everyone here. The staff is the best, loving, caring, very supportive. I just would love to see more pictures of their day to day activities.
