Best Nursery in Gants Hill

Both of my sons attended Gants Hill Playgroup and we couldn’t be happier. At first, we were worried as my kids didn’t speak English but lovely ladies helped them to settle in quite easily and looked after them with great care. Now we had our baby girl I cannot wait to send her there.
Thank you for your hard work with our children and teaching them all the wonderful things!
Danylo’s and Dmytro’s mum

Best nursery in Gants Hill!

We've had a wonderful experience with Gants hill playgroup Nursery. And highly recommend it to other parents.
The staff is not only well-qualified but also compassionate, creating a warm and nurturing environment for the children. The facility is immaculate, and strict safety measures are in place, ensuring a secure and healthy environment. The curriculum is engaging and age-appropriate, contributing to my child's cognitive, social, and emotional development. Gants Hill playgroup excels in communication, providing regular updates on my child's activities and learning progress. The staff is flexible and accommodating, making it easier for us as working parents. We wholeheartedly recommend Gants hill playgroup Nursery for its exceptional care, dedicated staff, and enriching environment.

Best playgroup !!

Excellent place for my daughter who started out here. It was her 1st nursery and she absolutely loved the experience. My daughter was so attached to me that I was worried how she's gonna settle down in a nursery , especially because she didn't know English that well, we speak Romanian at home and she knew very little how to speak English, but thanks to Nihan and other staff members,who always offered her support, she managed very well, in a fairly short time. They understood her needs and likes and made every effort to keep her happy and at the same time worked hard to develop her socially and academically.. they engaged children in various activities.
I appreciate their efforts and hardwork..They gave more than 100% to all parents and children..
I wish all the best to all the staff !! xxx

My Favourite Nursery For Family

I absolutely love this school and the teachers. It has a very homey feeling and the child to teacher ratio is great! I know that my all children are personally taken care of. It was the first time that my kids didn’t cry when I left, instead they turned around and said bye to me.and all my children has learned so much since going here If I could give this school 10 stars I would and recommend this school to anyone that is looking for quality care!!

Gantshill play group is excellent

There are no words to describe about gants hill play group as it is really an awesome.. my elder one studied there and so we joined my younger one there...she is literally addicted to this nursery that before bed and after waking up immediately she questions us do I have school today when can I go to school...she loves the school so much because the way they love her take care of her more than the parents ❤️... I feel I miss the school 😭 n my kids though ....Thanks a lot for treating my kid so she is so excited each day to school more than to stay in home

Highly recommend this nursery!

I would certainly recommend this nursery extremely highly. I had two children attend this nursery and We had the best experience. The teachers are the sweetest. Nihan, Dawn Nuzhat Pam Lina they have all been so amazing with both of my children who attended this nursery. My older son had attended a different nursery and we changed to this nursery and subsequently I sent my daughter to this nursery as well due to our positive experience. I have no regrets in fact I regret not finding this Nursery earlier! I have no complaints my children absolutely loved the nursery and adored the teachers and we will really miss everyone. My children are already missing them so much, they’ve made amazing friends and amazing memories. Special thanks to Nuzhat and Thanks so so much Nihan and her team for everything that they have done for my two children they have flourished from when they first started.

The best nursery with the most lovely staffs

Both my kids attended the gants Hill playgroup and we are bonded more like a family with the play group staffs.

My eldest was a very clingy child who never liked to interact with others except for me n my husband. I was super worried about her and decided to place her in the care of the playgroup. Nihan was so friendly, kind and patient in handling kids, which gave me confidence in leaving my kid with them. Since it was a huge change for both me n my daughter, I used to leave a crying child with them and step out crying my eyes out. Nihan had to comfort both me and daughter 😀. But to my surprise, my daughter quickly got adapted to the play group environment and was eager to go there everyday. I was able to see how my baby turned into a very social n confident young girl. She doesn't like activities related to fine motor skills. However teacher Nuzzat was very patient and encouraged her to write, paint and do other activities.

My daughter was very possessive of me. This got me worried when I was pregnant with my second child. When I expressed my concern to the staffs in one of my casual chats, they took it upon themselves to help me out. Teacher Nuzzat sat with my daughter every day and talked about how family works, what is it to have a sibling, the love of siblings and how to take care of a baby etc. My daughter warmed up to the idea of having a sibling and I was surprised to see how well she took care of my little one after he was born. I was able to feel the love she has for her brother right from the first moment she saw him. I am so thankful for moments like these.

The playgroup staff always are helpful, friendly and supportive. They treated my kids like their own. I was eager to get my youngest placed there as well when he turned 2. Like my eldest, my youngest also settled so well in the playgroup. He enjoyed the ambience there and the company of the staffs. They are still his favourite grown ups. Both my kids are so different in character but they loved going to the play group all the same. Special mention to teacher Dawn, Lena and Nuzzat who made my little one into a very confident, kind and independent boy.

Now that both my kids are off to primary school, they dearly miss the staffs who were like family to us.

I wish Nihan and all the lovely staffs very best. U will always have a very spl place in our hearts.

Few words about the playgroup setting before I conclude my review 😊 The playgroup was maintained very clean with a wide variety of toys that was rotated on a regular basis so the children get to play with different set of toys everyday. They also have outdoor garden area where the kids get to play everyday. The nursery also provided snacks in the morning sessions to the kids. So on days where my kids dint eat a proper breakfast at home, I wasn't too worried as I knew they will get to eat cereals or fruits during their break time. The playgroup have schedule planned everyday for the kids, so we will know what the kids are doing there. I never seen such structured activity plan in any other nurseries I had enquired before.

I am one very happy parent with lot of happy memories from the playgroup. I will keep recommending this play group to all my friends and acquaintance.

Dear Ramz,

Thank you so much for your wonderful and thoughtful words. It was just as much a pleasure for us to teach and have your children with us.
I would like to say good luck for your lovely children's future and wish them all the best through their life!

Great experience

The staff at the nursery were great with my son and adapted to his needs. My son was not the easiest of children to deal with; his speech and communication levels were not quite in line with the average for his age. The nursery staff understood his sensitivities and helped him learn and grow. Despite the several lockdowns of 2020 causing gaps in his attendance, he enjoyed going to nursery and I am now looking to send my youngest son to the nursery too.

Best pre-school in the area

Gants Hill Playgroup has been an amazing pre-school for my son. He's been there for one and half years and had memorable time. He misses the staff Nihan and Dawn and all his friends there. Just doesn't want to go to full school but continue at the playgroup.😊

A very warm and friendly staff who are very patient with the children. Both Nihan and Dawn listen to the parents to understand and accommodate. I have received great advice from them about child behaviour and management.

I couldn't have asked for a better pre-school for my child in those tender early years. I highly recommend this pre-school.

Excellent Preschool Nursery

My both girls went to Gantshill preschool nursery. My elder one went for 2 years and was always excited to go. She learned new activities and improved her communication skills.
Nihan and all the staff members are friendly. They always keep me uptodate about her activities and gave her report time to time.
Thanks for helping her grow & Wish you all the very best in future.
