Absolutely amazing playgroup! My daughter loved the playgroup and all the staff were outstanding! Rhys
Amazing play group. 2.5 school years there and my son has thrived. The staff really care about the children and take a lot of time getting to know them as individuals. Staff are so kind and easy to talk to and work with you through the stages like potty training and any struggles your child may face eg. Fussy eating, anxiety etc which I loved. Gutted my son is leaving at the end of summer he truly loves to be there and has an amazing bond with the staff members Tamzin
Honestly I can’t thank you all enough for the support you have shown/continue to do so towards Kiralee during her time so far at playgroup. Kiralee has separation anxiety and not only was it hard for me to leave her but for her as well being in a setting she was unfamiliar with. As a playgroup you kept me in the loop of what was going on and whenever I emailed to ask for an update it was never too much trouble. Even emailing me leaflets to help with Kiralee’s anxiety. Looking on tapestry weekly brings so much joy and reassurance that she is doing well and loves being there despite it taking her a while to settle. It shows all of your hard work and dedication to take photos and write about every child. I can see her confidence has already grown. She speaks about you all and loves singing the songs which she has taught mummy and daddy! I admit they are rather catchy!
She also re enacts what she does at playgroup on her toys showing me what circle time is and doing snack time. Her favourite phrase to say is ‘5 minutes to tidy up time’.
In everything you all do it shows you are all passionate at what you do and I think the resources you send home are fabulous. Kiralee gets excited when she has had her playgroup book changed.
The playgroup is a wonderful setting and there is no shadow of a doubt when the time comes I’ll be choosing this one for my youngest daughter. I look forward to seeing how Kiralee will progress.

Thank you very much for all your support and care. A LOVES going to nursery. She always tells me at bed time"mami, tomorrow going to baby Max" :)) to her that means she is going to nursery :)). I can see improvement in her speech from one day to another and what i'm also very happy is that she is answering questions like "where, what and who". And also she understands everything i tell her. 🙂
What lovely feedback - from a parent who has a child leaving for School nursery - To all teachers!!! The time spent with you in Leverstock Green was a beautiful, fascinating adventure! For showing that gaining knowledge can be an extraordinary pleasure; for hot hugs, big heart and care - thank you! Some more kind words from a parent - Thank you very much for your kind words about M and for everything you do to support him, I am so so grateful and he couldn’t be in a more loving, caring environment and you can so clearly see it, he asks about playgroup daily and, as you know, sometimes doesn’t even want to leave it 😅!
Thank you for everything that you do, I am forever thankful!! X Wanted to share this lovely feedback from a current parent . I just would like to say how pleased I have been with the setting and how well you have helped T settle and grow in confidence as well as social skills. Thank you to all staff for what you do. All the different activities you come up with so she also has variety is amazing.

I wanted to share this lovely recommendation- I highly recommend Leverstock Green Playgroup. My daughter attended the setting. It is lovely, friendly setting where the children’s interests are at the heart of everything the staff do. They use tapestry as a learning journal which shows parents what your child has been doing. Playgroup has so many resources and equipment which challenges the children. My daughter had additional needs that were acknowledged at playgroup. The manager – the SENCO - helped to support my daughter and had support tin place when she started at school. She has now been diagnosed with Autism. Without the care and support whilst at playgroup, I am unsure my child would have had a diagnosis. Playgroup has lovely staff. The manager is experienced as she has been there for many years. The staff go above and beyond. Parents are included by great communication. It is a shame they do not open for longer hours and their outdoor area is not bigger; that is why my second child did not attend as I needed more hours. Thank you for your support and care Mrs J

Thank you for all the help you have given Thomas and Jessica over the last 4 years.
Thank you for caring for Harry and helping him to learn and to be creative, he has grown into a happy boy ready for his next chapter at his leaning at Nursery.
Thank you for all your patience, day to day , for every tear you wipe away, for little hands you gently hold.And for all the stories you have told, for your consoling tender heart. And for all the wisdom you impart, for silly songs and quiet times, for teaching children how to share, for being kind and bring fair, for every shoe that you have tied. And thoughtful words that install pride, for all the sweet things that you do to help children all year through, for being there in place of me im grateful and always will be!
Our son Teddy has a life limiting heart condition, and as a result of my hospital stays has severe separation anxiety. Both his sisters had attended Leverstock Green Playgroup so when he was old enough we sat down with Tracey and Janice to make a plan for Teddy. The entire team worked with us as his parents to make sure that they were aware of the impact that his heart condition can have on his life, the warning signs to look out for should he be struggling and any emergency action that they may need to take. Everyone was also incredibly understanding of Teddy’s separation issues and helped us to work with him to settle and be comfortable at playgroup and be confident away from his parents. After sending our other children to Leverstock Green and watching them thrive in an environment where they are nurtured and encouraged to learn and grow we knew that it was the right place to send Teddy. We were confident that all of the team there would give him the attention that he needed and that his health would be their primary concern. Teddy came so far in the year that he spent there, his speech flourished and he managed to spend more and more time alone in the setting. It was also hard for us to entrust his care to someone else, but everyone at Leverstock Green filled us with such confidence in the way that they interacted with all of the children that we knew that he would be in the best possible place.
