TESTIMONIALS
"Thank you so much my son has achieved so much in his First term of Primary School, all because of the foundations he made at Sparkies”
“Both of my daughters attended Sparkies nursery school and received a great preparation to start primary school with confidence and attitude to learn. I highly recommend this nursery.” (September 2019)
"The staff are incredible and during her time there not one member of staff left (incredibly rare in London nurseries). Such a stable and happy work force obviously create a great learning and nurturing environment for our children." (July 2019)
"The outdoor space is wonderful and I loved the fact my daughter would spend a great deal of time outside regardless of the weather." (September 2019)
"Sparkies really is a very special nursery and I feel very lucky we stumbled upon. When it came to the time to look for a nursery for my son, I felt so lucky living in an area which seemed to have such a wonderful selection. I looked around most of them but it wasn’t until I walked into Sparkies and knew straight away that what I had seen at the others was not a patch on this wonderful nurturing place full of very happy children and staff, it was then that I knew that I wouldn’t find a better place for my son to start his education. (June 2019)"
"Talking to Grace filled me with the assurance that each child was an individual and that they were allowed to still be children through the Sparkies ethos of learning through play. I was also delighted not to see lots of plastic toys in their wonderful garden and to understand that they use the space to help broaden their imagination and learn about nature whilst getting much needed fresh air!

"Since My child has been at Sparkies he has grown in so many ways – all for the better. From going on outings to a farm to pick their own pumpkins for Halloween to having eggs turning into ducklings in spring, everything they do at Sparkies is well thought out and engaging to keep the little minds developing.

"As a working mother communication is key and I am kept fully updated with his progress through the easy to use EyLog app and the weekly newsletter and if necessary a personal phone call or a WhatsApp. The one thing that really stands out at Sparkies is the sense of community, I would even go as far to say family. I don’t recommend things or places readily, but when my neighbours who have children 6 months younger than my child asked me where he went to nursery and would I recommend it – I had absolutely no hesitation in saying don’t bother looking anywhere else, Sparkies is the only place, 2 years later the three of them love walking to and from Sparkies together and sharing their experiences of the day." (September 2019)
"My son has really blossomed during his time with you. The job you are doing at with the children here is wonderful....”
"Like many Mums, I felt a bit overwhelmed when it came to choosing a nursery for my child, especially since we had never really left him before and I knew that he (and I) would find it difficult. I just wanted you to know that I'm chuffed to bits that we chose Sparkies - we really couldn't have chosen better and it's great for me to know that he's so well looked after 3 mornings a week. I think my child has really settled in well now - even though I still get the odd tear at drop off, I know that he enjoys himself when he's there. ”
"Sparkies offered my children a fun and caring environment to grow up in. They made good friends, loved the staff and came home each day growing in confidence, knowledge and happy. What more could you want!" ”
Outcomes for children are exemplary. Children are making excellent progress. They develop an abundance of skills in readiness for their move to school. They independently manage their self-care extremely well. They are self-assured as make decisions about their play. Children express themselves exceptionally well as they explore with confidence and curiosity.

"It has been a refreshingly new approach to nursery school life for us and a much needed change for my son. He is so much better suited to more free play, fantastic nurturing from all the staff and imaginative learning that Sparkies provides. He is also learning that focus time, is enjoyable and educational too. The enjoyment from the garden is immense and is a huge asset to have. It is a rare outside space for a London nursery to have.”
