"As soon as you walk into Ivy League Nursery, you can feel a great atmosphere. The staff are very caring, compassionate and friendly and just what children need the most. Furthermore, staff always have time to talk to me about Emilia's progress and development. Most of all I can see that she loves coming to nursery and is very happy there"
Rita Liotisaite, Emilia's mum (2013)
"I would highly recommend anyone seeking support to foster their child's independence to Ivy League Nursery. My son started in May 2013 and I have since noticed tremendous improvements in his Communication Skills and Independence. Not only are the staff supportive in my son's development, they also provide a positive "kids-friendly" environment. The staff at Ivy League Nursery are exceptionally friendly, respectful and offers personalized care for each child. I wouldn't choose another nursery; Lovely, Spacious, Clean and a Safe place for children"
Kimishia Ajileye, Kayode's mum (2013)
"Ivy League Nursery served as a full-time childcare for my daughter from April 2013. I highly recommend them as childcare providers. Each staff member is really friendly and takes the child's welfare seriously. I have known 2 of their staff members for at least 5 years as they used to care for my eldest daughter when she was at nursery. They ensure that Nursery and Home work together as one, which is really important in children's development. They work with each child individually as well as in groups as they all have different needs but also need to learn how to behave when they are in the presence of others.
They always take the time to report on the day, how its been and what your child was up to.
I believe Ivy League Nursery will help any parent give a good start in their child's life by working with them through any issues they encounter"

Arlette Bonin, Liza's mum (2013)
"I would like to take this opportunity to say that I am satisfied with the Nursery's management. My child Nathan started attending Ivy League Nursery in April, after our move from West Croydon last year. The management has a firm grasp of procedural details and takes time to document them, Staff are highly skilled at recognizing issues that require escalation to management for decision-making. This is tackled by presenting a number of well thought out options with professionals to aid the decision maker in making choices and in understanding and communicating the implications of those choices.
I can confidently say that my son Nathan is passionately and intellectually taken care of and I would highly recommend Ivy League Nursery to any parent who requires quality education for their children"

Nnenna, Nathan's mum (2013)
"Ivy League Nursery have helped greatly with the development of my son, ensuring a safe and pleasurable environment is always maintained. He is now standing, rocking and babbling throughout the day and at only 8 months, is attempting to take steps. I am very grateful for the care and support he receives and thank the staff greatly for their enormous contribution towards this"
Danielle Mclean, Jevon's mum (2013)
As you walk through the door at Ivy League Nursery you are greeted with a warm welcome and know that your child is in a safe and caring environment. This is backed up with the smile and happiness Kiki has with the different members of staff as she makes her way to the baby room. The toys and play areas are clean and inviting for the appropriate age group. The baby area contains lots of toys and activities that are there to aid a baby's development. We looked at numerous nurseries and child-minders in the surrounding area and had second thoughts in leaving our child, as no where was suitable as we wanted a home from home, which we found at Ivy League Nursery. We knew this was the place for our daughter the moment we stepped inside; call it a mothers intuition.
Susan and Josh, Kiki's parents (2013)
"Marley has had a great time at Ivy league, we found the owners and Sandra (the manager) an absolute delight to deal with. Sandra has always been approachable and understanding whist being professional. She is a credit to the nursery. During Marley's time at Ivy League her literacy and numeracy skills have developed beautifully and her time here has helped develop her into the lovely little girl she has become. Thank you all for looking after our little girl."
Sharon Ballard (Cherry All Stars Performing Arts), Marley's mum (2013)
"We would like to thank all of the staff for our son's time at the Ivy League Nursery. Billy had such a good time there, made some great friends and we were sad to see him leave. The staff were caring and conscientious and made sure Billy settled in easily, making the whole process stress free for us as parents.
Billy learnt so much, was given goals and encouraged to develop in a relaxed and fun environment. The garden is great, giving plenty of space for fun and outdoor activities. We’d thoroughly recommend the Ivy League Nursery to anyone looking for childcare. Billy’s smile at the end of the day said it all."

Choosing the right nursery for your child is a daunting thing especially for first time parents. Who to leave your child with, who do you trust etc. But Ivy League from day 1 has ticked every positive boxes. My daughter was immediately settled in and from feedback from staff members, her behaviour at the nursery was exactly as it is at home which shows how considerate and thoughtful the staff members are of your child's welfare and well-being. You receive daily feedback on a chart and staff talking to you also staff keep asking how does she do this or that at home so that they can follow suit for your child to settle. Above all, not only is your child felt welcome there, but the friendly smiles and warm welcomes of other staff members to us parents is amazing, the bond just makes you feel comfortable about your child.
My only regret with Ivy League is that there isn't another to where we moved to, although we now have our dream home, we do not have our dream nursery for our daughter. Ivy League has set the standard of what we expect other nurseries.

"I was immediately impressed with Ivy League Nursery from the start. This nursery is simply in a class of its own, the care and professionalism they possess is impressive and rare to find. The staff are warm, friendly, approachable and very understanding. This all assists to create a welcoming family atmosphere, which we instantly felt a part of. I feel confident to say that the excellent care and guidance my daughter has received has allowed her to thrive and has been a key factor in development, making her into a more social, confident and happy child".
Chantel Thomas, Kymaya-Ley's mum (2014)
Ivy League is such a wonderful nursery and all the staff are amazing, we've been truly blessed to have had the opportunity to experience such a lovely place. Its most outstanding feature is the staff who are genuine, friendly and caring, always aiming to build good relationships with the parents and children.
I couldn't thank Ivy League enough for the high quality of care that was given to my daughter whilst she was there. They made such a huge impact on her life. She learnt so much in such a short space of time and has taken with her fantastic memories and learning from Ivy League.

Andrea Dormer, Naimah's mum (2014)
When I first started looking for a nursery, I really did not know what to expect. Having 2 of my children under the age of two at the time (6 months and 2 years), I was looking for an environment where both children could attend which was warm and loving and would provide a chance for them to grow and develop. I went through a few nurseries which had strong points for either developmental age groups i.e. the toddlers or the babies, but not both.
I am so glad I chose Ivy League Nursery. I immediately felt their friendliness and knew my children will love the setting. However, it had to be more than that and having had their first Ofsted Inspection; I went online and read the good report they received. It ticked all the boxes. I was sold.!!
My experience with the nursery has been fantastic. My two year old has social communication difficulties and when he was at the setting his teachers were just brilliant and really included me in his daily activities at the nursery focusing especially on his specific needs and creative play.
The same has to be said for my baby then. I feel that there is great communication with parents – it's great to get an idea of the children’s day when I pick them up in the evenings. Also, at the morning drop off, we were always greeted with a warm smile and open arms and I always felt confident and comfortable in dropping them off knowing that they were in safe hands and they both looked forward to attending nursery.
Two years have gone by (my baby is now almost 2 1/2 and due to family circumstances it’s time for us to leave Ivy League Nursery. It has gone by so quickly!!
I would like to thank especially the manager for helping me with any problems and questions I had in terms of my son’s development. The whole team really needs a great round of applause for running the nursery as a school with important dates such as parent conference evenings which I feel is very good as it maps for parents how the children are developing.
Thank you also for giving the children such wonderful experiences, such as the summer trips and events like the Christmas play.
I have always respected the fact that you have clearly established policies for everything from opening and closing times to dealing with emergencies, and not allowing strangers to pick up the children. Demonstrating that Ivy League Nursery takes responsibility of caring for children seriously.
We will miss your friendly welcoming environment, the nursery was always clean and calm and the children always looked happy and always occupied. I am so glad I listened to my instinct and chose Ivy League Nursery for my children. You have proved to be the best. Thank You!!!!

Edith Opong, Fred & Angel's mum (2015)
"Our son, Ben, started at Ivy League on the day after his first birthday. Right from the start, the whole team was welcoming and supportive - even to a tearful mum! I never once doubted the care and attention that was given. Each key worker he had throughout his time built a wonderful bond with him and were able to nurture him and see him through the many trying phases of toddlerhood. The nursery itself has a very helpful and sensible approach to child illnesses - very helpful to working parents - and the whole staff takes the time to know both the child and the parents. As well as the day to day care, sports days and Christmas plays and outings are all planned and a lot of hard work goes into making them great for both the kids and parents - who are encouraged to join in and share the experiences with the kids.
It is with a very heavy heart that we have to leave the nursery due to moving out of the area. We could not have entrusted our baby to any better nursery and we only wish we could move you all with us! We wholeheartedly recommend Ivy League to any prospective families looking for a caring, fun and family-orientated setting for their child."

"First words that come to mind are helpful, understanding and outstanding experience!
The management team insure that their staff are following one direction and implement this by training days and everyday contact. They are there from the early hours of the morning to very late at night; I have seen for my own eyes! They have a passion for this and it is far from an investment in my opinion. Their main concern is the upbringing of the children! I am a young mother with three children. I am juggling a full time shift work profession, this would not have been possible if I did not get the help with Tori, my one year old at that time, I cried for about a week on the phone every day to Sandra (Manager) who has a Montessori background and is an amazing woman! Well-presented loving and very well spoken but is firm where needs be!!! (Love that!) On top of that I could not ask for better ownership. They are very real, in the mix hands on people! Any issue that may have occurred are dealt with promptly and professionally! So many improvements happened while my son Tori, now two and a half, attended and I'm sure many exciting things are yet to come! The children learn many things here, colours, counting, problem solving manners and many more! The staff there is extremely good and I had my favourites that did just that little bit more!! Jo has recently been moved down stairs and taken on a new role and she does truly amazing things with the babies. The ladies are all great and I miss them!!!
The only reason why we left is due to moving house out of London! I did do the commute for about 4 months but had stop! If not for this I would have kept Tori there till the very last minute..."
I will stop rambling on now as I could go pages long!! But I wish you all the best and keep doing what you’re doing!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the management and all the staff at Ivy League Nursery for the care and attention Malika has received during her attendance at the nursery. She has really enjoyed going to the nursery and we know she has had lots of fun and really developed her self-confidence. A heartfelt thank you to you all at Ivy League Nursery. Malika has been very happy and has blossomed in your care. Its lovely to see our children progress from nursery but its also sad to see them leaving all of their first friends. Malika has been very lucky to go to such a great nursery. Ivy League Nursery is a very special place and has given her a fantastic start in life that we will always remember! She has really enjoyed her time with you and I'm sure she will miss you all very much. We have watched her develop during her time at the nursery. A big thank you for the wonderful care and support to everyone who has looked after her. Thank you so much for everything you have done!!
Marie Suzanne Yao, Malika's Mum (2016)
To all the staff at Ivy League Nursery, I just want to say thank you for looking after my little angel while I was out caring for someone else's needs. I was busy being a nurse while leaving my little girl in your care. I was and am pleased with the care you gave her. Being a mum is challenging, especially trusting someone else with your child however I was never worried about her when she was in your care.She enjoyed her time with all the staff and children and as she goes off to school, continue with the good job and thank you once again!! We will come back and visit.. Love you all.
Patricia Hamilton, Jeneque's Mum (2016)
My husband and I had visited a few nurseries around the area and like any parent it was a very important decision as to who was going to be entrusted to look after our children, but when we came to view Ivy League Nursery we immediately knew it was the right one for our twins. The nursery was welcoming and it had a homely relaxed feel.
When the twins started in January 2014 they were shy and relied heavily on each other, by the time they graduated, they were outgoing, confident and we saw a massive difference in their learning, socially and educationally.Their letters, writing and numbers had greatly improved.
The staff give 100% to the care of the children every day.They are dedicated, friendly, kind and supportive. I would highly recommend Ivy League Nursery to anyone wanting the best for their child/ children.
The nursery has given our twins the best foundation for them to start school in September 2016.
We will miss you all and thank you for all you do and continue to do.

Tamalia, our eldest, has just graduated from Ivy League after 18 months in the pre-school. Merelda, her key worker's patience, kindness & love helped her to settle in after spending 2 years in a child minder setting. We have watched her confidence, independence and literacy improve significantly whilst at Ivy League and we are in no doubt that this has been hugely facilitated by the staff. The nursery provides a safe, loving, learning environment for the children. It is much more than childcare; the children learn and flourish. Our youngest daughter has been in the baby room for almost 9 months and she loves every minute of it. There is a family and homely feel to the place and Sandra is an excellent and approachable manager. The children have fun, whilst learning and we love the fact that the nursery is very diverse and embraces multiculturalism. The facilities are excellent and they make good use of the large garden space. What's more, our girls love the food.
Jo & Godfred, Tamalia and Lana's Parents (2016)
What can I say about the time that Gabriel, my son, spent at Ivy League Nursery? He had a lots of fun, learnt everything that he needed to have a good start at the school. We now both have friends from the nursery after these 19 months. The most important thing that I will always remember is that my son was happy at the Ivy League Nursery.
Thank you very much all of the teachers, assistants for their hard work.

Laura Traski, Gabriel's Mum (2016)
As a parent you want nothing more than the happiness of your child and you know a child is happy where they are when you go at the end of the day to pick them up and they refuse to go with you and you see the affection that the staff have for your child. I still hear “Merelda said I can’t do this” “I’m going to sing for Merelda”. You expect this of course
My son has learnt manners rapidly with the help of the staff at the nursery and my daughter before him. I can honestly say that now that we reached the end I will continue recommending Ivy league nursery as I couldn’t be happier.
Well done team and I do hope we will keep hearing great news from you and if and when I have another baby I hope I will have a space !!

Colin & MaryAnn, Ben's Parents (2016)
My journey with "Ivy League nursery " started when my son was 20 months old. For the next 3 years I could watch how much he was changing and growing up. It was at the nursery when he started talking, started to dress himself and less and less frequently I heard-" mum can you help me with..."- . He learned how to be independent, I'm so proud of him.
With my great appreciation to the excellent teachers my son can read and write; I also have to add that the curiosity about everything that surrounds him has allowed him to develop his interests. I owe this to a fantastic teacher Ms. Merelda.
Now when my son starts school I am calm because I know he had a great start to cope at school. I'm very grateful to all the staff and know that my choice of nursery was perfect for my son. Thank you all. Xxx

Our son attended the nursery from 13 months - to 3 years.
Our son thoroughly enjoyed his time at Ivy League and will greatly miss his peers and all the staff, especially; Joan, Merelda and Sandra. It’s an absolute pleasure to see the transition of our son. A special thank you to 'Aunty' Joan and Sandra for all your support. Sandra teaches the children beautiful songs, so much so the whole family now sings along to ‘Carry Your Candle’.
The owners at Ivy League Nursery are very passionate about getting the right outcome for the children and as a parent this is very reassuring. I am glad that I chose Ivy League Nursery.

Ivy League creates a warm and loving environment for a child to look forward to going to each day. Staff are passionate about wanting the best for each child. The nursery is constantly assessing how the nursery can be the best it can – be that the facilities or the teaching curriculum for instance.
As one of the first babies to start at the nursery, my child has recently graduated and is more than ready for school. She is a well-rounded, confident child, who enjoys learning – Ivy League has played a massive role in her positive development.

Being new to the country, we had a difficult time finding what we thought was suitable childcare for Karrae-Abhy. Having had a standard of expectation from Jamaica we were anxious to find something that mirrored that. We were not disappointed. The pre-school staff of Ivy League Nursery was superb in how they helped Karrae-Abhy to settle in. Not only have they taught directly from the formal EYFS curriculum, but also fostered an atmosphere of mutual respect along with helping to develop other parts of the hidden curriculum that were crucial to her development. The atmosphere at Ivy League is one that is conducive to learning as well as one that is safe and stimulating to all children in their care. Karrae speaks in absolute awe of her dear Aunty Merelda, who goes the extra mile to ensure the successful transition of all her students to Primary school. Sandra is a wonderful Nursery manager - very approachable and reasonable. We could never have asked for a better environment for our child!
Keith & Chezan, Karrae-Abhy’s Parents(2017)
'My son was a part of the Ivy League Nursery family for over 3 years and I can honestly say that choosing this learning environment for him when he was 10 months old was one of the best decisions I have made as a parent.
Ivy League Nursery is a well-managed facility which can meet your childcare needs in a competent way. This nursery and pre-school fosters an environment where the dedicated management team and staff inspire children to learn and to apply their learning. By the time my son left to go to primary school, he could already blend his words/sounds in a phonetic way, read, do simple mathematics and clearly write his own name and other simple words.
If you want your child to learn in an environment that is caring, organised, structured and dedicated then look no further.'

Our daughter went to Ivy League Nursery for a year and a half or so and we can't say enough good things about the experience. Unfortunately we moved too far out of the area, otherwise we would still be going there. Sandra and the team do a fantastic job of keeping the place neat, tidy and running smoothly. All the carers are so lovely and it really has that "family feel" which is so important. We've also been very impressed out how well our little girl has developed, the wide range of activities they do with her, and the encouragement they've given her along the way. Every morning when we drop her off she can't wait to arrive, and we're lucky if she even says goodbye as she races inside to see everyone. That says it all really! Our family has had a pretty topsy-turvy year overall so it's been a great relief that Ivy League was one of the few things we never had to worry about. If only we could take em with us to our new neighbourhood... We can't recommend them enough!
David Holman, Carla's Dad(2018)
"Our son started at Ivy League at 11 months old - and there were no safer hands to leave him with when I returned to work! All the staff are nurturing, caring and very professional. I could count on my son's key-workers to give me an in depth account of how he spent his time at his home away from home each day.
The children are well fed with diverse and healthy meals, and lots of fruit and veg! The environment is clean, safe and has great facilities. And the standard of care and teaching goes way beyond expectations.
My husband and I love the way Ivy League celebrates different cultures through food, music, costume and play. And all the parents look forward to the summer sports day and Christmas production every year! The children are happy here and it shows!
My son has left Ivy League at age 4 reading, writing, adding and subtracting, and with knowledge about the world around him that astounds me. His Dad and I are very proud. We would recommend Ivy League to anyone looking for a great place to send their child."

Dear all the team at Ivy League
We've been meaning to write since the graduation evening. Thank you so much for all your hard work and love in caring for Robin and for the wonderful & emotional celebration at the graduation. John & I both fought back tears (as everyone did) at the amazing ceremony & marveled at what our children are becoming & what they have achieved with your help.
So much thought had gone into everything. It was amazing to see the children's faces watching all the photo collages. We love the book. Robin has been excitedly talking through his achievements with all the family this weekend.

John & I both fought back tears (as everyone did) at the amazing ceremony & marveled at what our children are becoming & what they have achieved with your help.

Ivy League has not only looked after my two boys from the age of 1 year old but have educated, nurtured and cared for them. They are who they are due to the help and support this establishment has given to me and my family. They certainly push for greatness and this is very apparent. Both my boys are leading the way in their new classes at their new school and ahead of where they need to be. I can't recommend Ivy League enough.

I bless the day I brought my son to this great nursery. I was looking for a good childcare provider and a friend of mine introduced me to Ivy League Nursery. My son started when he was only 10 months old and I watched him grow into a beautiful young boy who is now in Reception. Ivy League supported me throughout my son years with them. They are professionals in childcare and are very passionate about what they do. I strongly recommend them for all your childcare needs. Try them today and thank me later from a very happy mum!!

I would sincerely like to express my gratitude towards Ivy League Nursery. I couldn’t have hoped for a better nursery to entrust in the care of Tiago.
Ivy League has helped a great deal in the development of my son and as soon as I had a walk around the nursery and met Sandra I could tell that this was going to be the nursery for us. This was after looking at several others.
From the atmosphere (home away from home environment) to the curriculum I really couldn’t fault a single thing; the nursery is truly doing a great job with all the kids.
Tiago has loved his time at Ivy League immensely and will miss all the staff greatly and friends he has made.

Jemiah was at Ivy League nursery for a very short time and during this time he made immense progress. This was because of the staff's dedication to him. We are so happy we found Ivy League and our only regret is not taking Jemiah there sooner. We would like to thank everyone at Ivy League especially the manager, Sandra. We cannot stop singing her praises, she really went above and beyond for Jemiah and we are very grateful.

Ivy League is a fantastic nursery with a wonderful, friendly staff team who really care about each child's individual needs. Our son was there for 4 years and he thrived from day one. Through their nurture and support he developed his social, communication, emotional and physical skills. He absolutely loved it and was very happy there. There's a lovely garden, an area for messy play, they dress up, play games and have lots of fun, and later on learn the basics of reading, writing and numeracy. They also provide delicious food! I can't recommend Ivy League highly enough. They have given our son the best start and have prepared him well for school.

My daughter started at Ivy League nursery since she was about 19 months. She was attending another nursery and I was not happy with how she was developing, but when I first entered Ivy league I knew this was for my daughter as I could see how well organised and disciplined they were which is useful in our life as adults. This helped my daughter to be more confident, helpful at home and more independent. I thank all the staff at Ivy league because in the end they helped my daughter to achieve the goals that we've discussed at parents evening, also Ivy league helped me be more confident of leaving my daughter at reception which is her next step of life

Ivy league Nursery gave a chance to my baby Eva to grow in a positive way, to develop herself. The team has been fabulous, very good and competent, reassured me when needed (first time Mum), guided and advised me. The trust was strong as I know in the morning I was leaving my daughter in safe hands and in the evening I could see that Eva was happy in this fun and colourful environment. Eva’s first art and craft has been made at the nursery and I will cherish those treasures all my life so thank you Ivy League, you have been great to us.
Julie Lemaire - Eva's Mum (2020)
Although our baby only stayed at Ivy League for two months, we were very happy with the level of care at the setting and would have stayed had the opening hours been more flexible. Unfortunately, 8.00am opening didn't work for us, so we moved our baby to a setting where she could be taken from 7.30am onwards.
We were impressed with Ivy League's efficient running, orderliness and cleanliness, and felt our baby was very well taken care of. Her key worker was very experienced and seemed genuinely affectionate towards children. Each day we got a verbal report of how the day had been spent. The nursery has a huge garden at the back, and even the babies get a chance to spend time outside, weather permitting. The babies also take part in art activities from early on, and we have some mementos of these.
Any parent considering taking their child to Ivy League Nursery should rest assured that their children will be in a good, safe place and will be well placed for learning.

The name 'Ivy League' is very befitting for this nursery as it's very prestigious. It also prides itself in discipline which is what I really like about Ivy League nursery.
Emery-Jayce started attending Ivy League Nursery May of 2017 when he was only 1 and he's pretty much been in every room / group of the nursery. The staff at Ivy League have transformed Emery into a fine gentleman and I'm truly grateful to each and every single one of them.
The staff and management are very friendly and yet strict when the situation demands it. This is good balance. They did a great job communicating with me regarding Emery's progress and whatever concerns they had. Every issue was resolved since we worked as a team. They are genuinely very dedicated to the kids in their care and that is every parent's wish.
The level of teaching at Ivy League nursery is amazing and I couldn't believe the stuff Emery could do at his age each time I attended parent's evening. Emery is more than ready for Primary school and he still has quite a few months left. That for me is more than I could ask for. I'm calm and at ease because the staff at Ivy League have gone above and beyond to prepare him for school.
I'd like to say thank you to Sandra, Austin and Karen for being so caring. Not only were they there for my Emery. They were there for me, a parent, as well and offered emotional support when I needed it. They always took time out of their busy schedule to lend me a listening ear.
I'd also like to say a huge thank you to the entire Ivy League team for their great work. Well done!!

"Our daughter attended Ivy League for 8 months during which time she thrived and developed with the fabulous team that all cared for her. She seemed to enjoy the fun and games they had which was evident by the amount of artwork she came home with to stick on our fridge! We would recommend Ivy League to other local families"
Jenny & Vipul, Anjali-Rose's Parents (2020)
Ivy league Nursery has been a fantastic nursery for our daughter. She started there at age 1 and from the first day she has been happy there. We think this is down to the caring and nurturing nature of all the key-workers.
Sandra, the manager, is amazingly dedicated, an experienced educator she understands what is required from the staff and makes sure they have the processes in place to ensure a well run nursery.
At every stage of her development they have encouraged and motivated her to achieve the next step from walking to writing her name. We are amazed at how well she knows her letters which is all down to the team. But the main thing we love about Ivy League Nursery is how much they care for the children - everyone puts in so much effort and they have created a lovely space that feels like an extension of our family. They also go the extra mile with special days such as Sports Day for the families and Christmas Plays.
We will be sad to leave them but we know the start they have given Lenka means she's well prepared for the next chapter of her education.

If prospective parents were thinking about sending their children to Ivy League and asked us how we felt about the setting, we would start by telling them how incredibly supported we've felt over the last two years.
We would explain the incredible level of care & dedication with which the staff look after the children. The tireless & patient efforts they put in that go above and beyond 8am to 6pm.
We could show them the good manners, ethics & positive attitudes they've instilled in our children.
And we could talk about how everything they have done for George since he joined them as a toddler has had, and will continue to have, a long lasting impact on his life.
And about how he now heads off to school with an excellent level of academia, understanding, kindness and playfulness.
You cannot put a price on any of this I would tell them.
But you can put a price on Auntie Mandy's fish pie recipe and that price is 4 bunches of flowers, 2 batches of homemade cookies and 1 homemade card.
For God's sake Auntie Mandy...JUST GIVE US YOUR FISH PIE RECIPE!!!
Big peace & love,

Skye has had a wonderful time at Ivy League. We are very grateful to all the staff who have helped her grow and develop. She has formed some great relationships with both teachers and peers. Everyone at Ivy League has gone above and beyond in some tricky situations. Skye will miss Ivy League very much, but I'm sure she'll pop back to see you when Iona starts next year!'

Isabella has loved her nursery experience and over three years has learned so much from the always helpful staff. There is no doubt she will miss all the staff and her friends at Ivy league Nursery. She has happily run in for as long as she can remember! Thank you for your care and dedication in helping ensure she is ready for the next chapter.

Edie has had such a fantastic time at Ivy League, starting as really still a baby unable to walk or talk and ending as a pre-schooler who runs everywhere and, I think we can all agree, enjoys talking. Even though she never tells us anything about her day, we know that she absolutely loves everyone here including her teachers, key workers and her friends, and she will miss you all much. Not once in the three and a half years coming here has Edie ever not wanted to go in the door at drop-off time, running in with barely a look back as soon as she could. Fortunately we have another few years with Ivy League, as Freddie hopefully grows out of sitting on his friends, but we are so grateful for everything that all of you have done for Edie.

Ivy League has been an extended home to both of my children. Before I even moved to the area, I did my research and there was no other place that I would have wanted my children to be. As soon as I arrived, I knew I was going to be part of something and over the 6 years that I have been attached to this nursery, I can say that it was ‘something’ great. My children have always been looked after and loved and developed in ways that I am very grateful for. Both the children and I have made lasting friendships from this base, and we are so grateful. I cannot give enough credit to the team for all the love and support over the years. We will be sad to not have to interact with you on a daily basis, but always know that you are never far from our hearts. THANK YOU!!!! xx

Thank you so much for providing such a nurturing, caring and developing and adaptable environment for Camille (and Jocelyn!). We were amazed at how prepared Jocelyn was for starting school and how well she has done due to the foundations that were built up here, and we can already see that Camille is just as well prepared if not better. You give them the solid building blocks that they need to be able to succeed and excel in their future journeys, and for that we will forever be grateful for. We will always remember and cherish being told off by both girls for having bad manners at the dinner table, being told how to behave properly, and realising Camille could read when she read the signs on the bus when she was 3. We can’t wait to see what Camille and the rest of the children can achieve in their next adventure. Watch out world, they are coming! wish you all the best for the future.

Lily has blossomed under your guidance, and we are incredibly pleased with the progress she has made. The dedication and commitment shown by the nursery staff have truly made a positive impact on her development. From the moment we enrolled Lily, we knew we had chosen the right place for her early education.
The nurturing environment, engaging activities, and thoughtful curriculum have all contributed to Lily's growth, both academically and emotionally. We have seen her confidence soar, her social skills improve, and her love for learning flourish. The patience, encouragement, and support provided by her teachers have been invaluable in helping her reach new milestones.
We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the entire nursery team for their hard work and dedication. The commitment you have shown in creating a stimulating and caring environment has made a lasting impression on our family. Lily has truly felt loved and cared for during her time with you, and for that, we are forever grateful.
We will always cherish the progress she has made and the memories she has created at the nursery.
