I highly recommend West Drayton Day Nursery. My twins started going in August 2024 at 14 months old and so far there wasn't even one drop off when they didn't want to go. They smile and clap when they see their teachers approaching to collect them from me in the morning. They developed tremendously since starting the nursery - starting to feed themselves with cutlery, sit at the table, sing and dance along to songs, speak basic words and many more. Each day is filled with creative activities. The nursery is using the app where I can see how the day goes - how much my babies ate, napped etc. It also provides photo updates which I love. Teachers try to accommodate any request I have - at the start babies were on two naps and they respected my daily routine and followed it while in the nursery. There are family events organised occasionally such as Christmas Party or Mother's Day which are also great opportunities to see how my babies interact with other kids and their teachers. The group goes out to the garden or on walks nearby which keep babies active and stimulated. I have no regrets about entrusting my children with lovely staff members of West Drayton Nursery.

Excellent nursery with lovely staff. My 3 year old settled in beautifully with the keen help of the Willow room staff and turned from a shy boy into a very social chap with plenty of friends. Highly recommend.

It was the best decision to choose West Drayton Nursery for my daughter. The staff understood her specific needs well and have provided excellent support to her. The staff is very patient, very friendly and supportive. As parents we often get worried about our kids while they are at the nursery, however the staff gives regular updates on their progress throughout the day when required or requested via the app which was and still is a huge relief for me as a first time parent. I will highly recommend the nursery to other parents as well.

This is a fantastic nursery. Our daughter is always excited for school. The staff are terrific and do a fantastic job of not only keeping the students engaged but with keeping parents informed as well. We intend to enrol our son at West Drayton Day Nursery and Preschool when he is of age. If you’re looking for a good school for your kids, this is an excellent choice.

I can’t recommend the nursery highly enough. From day one the team have been more then welcoming to both my children, with my older one now in school having been at the nursery for 5 years. Currently, my younger son goes to the nursery and all the staff are very warm, extremely friendly, patient and accommodating. It is really lovely to see him developing everyday with all the fun and diverse activities that they do. Communication and facilities are excellent , with updates being provided on the app throughout the day. Even though we have moved out of the west Drayton, I would never dream of moving my son elsewhere as I know he’s well taken care of! The support and care the nursery has provided over the years is immeasurable.
