Archway Children's Centre - London

C G. (.

Our daughter has been attending for over a year now and just thankful to all the lovely staff at Archway Children’s centre for taking such good care of our daughter.

Our girl is always so happy to get up and go to nursery every day and has made tremendous progress since joining the centre. The staff are caring and attentive (everyone is great but Amanda and Sinita were really amazing), make great efforts to personalise the care for each child and help foster friendships between the children. The centre is very clean and has lots of great facilities, the kitchen is great and they have a massive outdoor area with a mud kitchen and chicken coop.

Our son is so happy at Archway Children's Centre/nursery where he is receiving exceptional care and standard of education. Acting Head Mita welcomed us to the centre and has been accessible, friendly and involved since. All the staff are excellent, kind and each bring different interests and skills to the centre which makes it a very creative and nurturing environment. I felt so comfortable leaving him with his wonderful key worker and teachers. We were already familiar with the centre through it's community activities which both our children have been attending since babies. The 'stay and play' staff really helped to build my confidence as a new mum, gave me inspiration and taught me how to play imaginatively with my children. I can't recommend it enough; it is truly fantastic.

We were so pleased to get a place for our two kids at this nursery. They have both settled-in well as the staff have welcomed us all warmly. The kids are given so many wonderful and varied learning opportunites and experiences. They have gone to Forest School, to the park for football lessons, tend to their allotment, been taught dancing and music by great professionals and had numerous outings to London sites and museums. The nursery also really encourage fun creative activities whilst teaching them great skills. Our kids are learning to be well-adjusted, respectful and thoughtful with the support of all of the excellent staff at the Centre.

We have nearly four years experience with Archway Children's Centre (our one year old is in the Baby room and our four year old - at the nursery since she was 10 months old - is now in the Pre-School room). We only have positive things to say and frequently thank our lucky stars such high quality childcare was available to us. The facilities are fantastic but more importantly, the management and staff are amazing. Warm and respectful of each other and the children, but also extremely professional. They combine care, attention and affection for the children with remarkably creative ideas for educating and entertaining them. Our children love it and we feel they are in the best hands.

My son has been at the nursery now for 2 years and I couldn't be happier. The staff are wonderful and really supportive with his development and needs that he has had. He has thrived at Archway children's centre, and the children are so involved in such exciting projects as the annual art show which simply gets better every year, along with summer dance shows and regular school time activities. I can also only speak highly and with great respect for the acting head Mita who has been fantastic with both my son and I since he first started. This is truly an A * nursery and I am so grateful we have a place here.

The Archway Children's Centre is excellent, with great physical space and superb staff (including everyone from the heads to the cook to the reception staff to the teachers etc). It is a welcoming, calming and supportive environment providing a wide range of well-loved and extremely useful services for young families. From the moment my daughter was days old we became regular visitors to the centre, using beast feeding support, baby massage, groovy tots, dads singing and health visitor drop-in services.The nursery has long wait lists for very good reason; it provides stimulating, well-organised and imaginative early years care and education to a standard which is, unfortunately, rare.

Went to their Stay and Play with my 2 kids I'm looking after, got told I must wait in the cafe cos parents got the priority. After 5min got told sorry we're full,can't let you in..while i was dressing my 2children more people kept coming over. That's how full it was...And outside was pouring rain btw. So safe to say I will never set my foot here ever again, and will Not recommend to any of my friends. Disgusted

Very friendly staff, the caretaker is a top bloke who's always happy to help. One issue are the toilet locks they seem not to work upstairs. If the toilets locked then would be 5 star.
