Hi everyone! I’m thinking of sending my child to Colville LEYF nursery in W11, London. I would be interested to hear opinions from anyone whose child has attended it or who has worked there previously. Thank you!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Hiya. Hope this helps. My little one has been going since she wa 15mths old. She's now in their preschool room. Entirely positive experience, she's been consistently well looked after, the nursery is super helpful with milestones (potty training, tooth brushing). They have a chef in house who provides balanced fresh meals, everyone on staff is super friendly, they really care about looking after the children well, and the management is super present, accessible and hands on. They make time for us parents and are honest and open if we have questions and are very supportive if we're looking for advice and guidance. I'm happy to say that my little one is happy in the environment, I've never had issues, the other parents are also super friendly. There is a consistent social calender which really helps us get to know other parents, play dates aplenty and the team make every effort to forge strong relationships with parents. Management know the names of every child regardless of room or age, they provide weekly snapshots of our littles and they even do parent evenings which are super useful even at this age. All positive things experienced and as my little one prepares to go to primary this September, she can recognise and spell out her name, even write it out (with a lot of guidance) which is amazing. They do a lot of creative work with the children, they introduce them to the local community, they celebrate cultural events. Couldn't have chosen a better nursery really. I speak to parents in my family and friends with children the same age and their experience of their nurseries both in and outside London is quite different, and not as positive as the Colville experience I've had to date. We're very lucky. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much! This is great to hear and I’m happy your little one is thriving at Colville
