Parent Feedback

I couldn’t be happier with the experience and learning opportunities my son is getting at Imagination Preschool.
The educators are caring , kind, experienced and attentive. They address each child’s individual needs while also helping them develop socially and emotionally. The number of activities they engage in on a weekly basis is beyond what I could have hoped for and include physical activity, arts and crafts, language development etc. My son’s interpersonal, emotional and language skills have improved significantly thanks to the efforts his carers have put in. The skills he has learnt at nursery are evident and clearly go beyond the classroom translating into his every day life. I also appreciate the educators’ ability to communicate and keep parents posted on a daily basis. I have never been left to wonder what my son has been up to all day, and it gives me great peace of mind.
Imagination Preschool is a safe place full of fun, joy, curiosity and kindness. I highly recommend it!

Our three year-old joined Imagination Nursery & Preschool in November 2023. The staff has been nothing but smiles, friendly, and professional to date. Although we have only had a total of five weeks sending her three days/week due to our own needs, she always says how much fun she had that day when picked up each time.

The on-boarding was easy, we were accommodated with a tour within the same week we reached out to Gloria the manager. The induction period was three days, they accommodate our child’s dietary needs, they have great technology sending daily updates of her activities, a staff member takes their time with every pick-up to deliver a kind/non-rushed recap of the day’s events, their email notifications are regularly sent out, they have great educational activities for the kids reflecting the different holidays or religious observances teaching them about all cultures & different countries. It’s very easy to communicate with staff in general - administration responds to my non-urgent emails within a few hours. She has been exposed to three different languages at home and her verbal English/vocabulary surely has dramatically improved.

Most importantly, she comes home fed, clean, safe, unscathed, smiling, and our little one is playing/having fun. I believe kids should be kids and enjoy their younger years, which seems to be the motto with Imagination. They sprinkle in educational bits of course to maintain standards with the localities (we just moved here from the USA & still familiarising myself with the educational terms/references - pardon my ignorance). Their operating hours are great for working parents (7:30am-6pm), and keep the kids at her attendance frequency during term and half term breaks (with one week in December around the holidays as the exception).

It’s a shame they don’t offer schooling beyond reception year, as I enjoy the school’s ethos! We resigned her for reception Sept. 2024, and look forward to all she will continue to learn.

I want to highly recommend the Imagination Nursery in Battersea. In what has been an incredibly tough year for everyone, all the staff here have been at the top of their game - loving, caring, utterly professional, and so very welcoming to our little boy as he went through his settling-in process. The nursery is extremely well-run - all activities are carefully thought out, and real care is given to the development of every child. We are extremely happy with our decision to send our son here.

We have been very satisfied with this nursery. We are very happy with the care provided to our son. Since joining Imagination Preschool, our son has developed in so many ways. He loves going to the nursery every morning and he has been missing his peers and teachers during the lockdown period and is looking forward to go back. The staff members are friendly, caring and very professional. The management is flexible and accommodating where/when possible. We would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

Our daughter attends Imagination Preschool in Battersea, and absolutely loves it. The staff is very professional, engaging and genuinely care about the children’s learning, progression and their well being. The two directors and management team are fantastic and haven’t skipped a beat, in these particularly challenging times. They created videos for the children to continue their learning with their teachers, and continue to work with parents and staff to ensure a safe and healthy learning environment. We couldn’t be happier with Imagination!

“My daughter started imagination preschool on the first day they opened. The set up of the nursery is lovely and I love the open plan look, It is very clean and fresh and all activities are set up ready for when the children arrive which is a good distraction for the parents to leave without any upset. She has spoken about nursery everyday since her first day and enjoys telling everyone about her day which is so encouraging for me to see and hear. I am so happy as she is extremely excited each time to go back which makes me feel very comfortable and reassured that I picked the best nursery.”

What a wonderful experience we’ve had at Imagination. Our boy started here at 18months after a traumatic experience at another local nursery. Immediately I had every confidence in the professionalism of Claudia and Nicole, the directors. They are brilliant communicators and meticulous in running the nursery in a safe and educational way, whilst also keeping it fun and inventive- like dance and exercise classes, and themed days. The space is lovely, lots to keep children engaged. I believe my boy thrived from having different aged children to play with, and the nursery’s philosophy of engaging and encouraging children, rather than leaving them aside to independently play. All of the staff are enthusiastic, competent and best of all, seem like they love their jobs. In particular his key worker Afna is one of a kind and a great asset to the nursery. Our boy came in anxious and unsettled and she went to great lengths to make him feel secure and happy. The difference in him is why I would whole heartedly recommend this nursery to anyone. You could leave your child here with complete peace of mind that they are being looked after by people who genuinely care.

The staff are super friendly and I feel totally happy leaving my little one with them. She also goes in with no tears and seems to be really happy there.”
