Testimonials

Take a look at what the parents of the children in our care have to say about Gingerbread House Day Nursery. We hope you’ll find these South Croydon nursery reviews useful.

My daughter has been attending the nursery for over a year now and absolutely loves it. The staff in the baby and toddler room are fantastic and my daughter talks about them constantly and is always so pleased to see them in the morning. The nursery has been renovated recently and all of the toys have been replaced with mainly wooden toys that stimulate their imagination. They keep the place clean and tidy and the children are very well cared for. The menus are good and my daughter eats well there. Overall we are very happy and would definitely recommend the nursery and the wonderful staff

Gen (Mother of Child)

Our son has only just joined Gingerbread House, but it feels like he’s been there for years. Within a few days, he has transitioned from his old setting into Gingerbread with perfect ease and we put that down to the outstanding care given by staff. As a family, we prioritise being outdoors, the arts and reading, which is why we chose Gingerbread and our son is definitely thriving every day on the Curiosity Approach. We couldn’t be happier with Gingerbread. Thank you

R A (Mother of Child)

My son loves going to the Gingerbread House and I think that speaks volumes about the nursery. He has formed a strong bond with his key workers and I can see he feels safe and fulfilled there. Given the state of his mucky clothes every day, it is clear to me he is also having fun! Both of my children have attended the Gingerbread House. My eldest daughter left two years ago to start school, and again it was a very positive experience for her, my wife and I. My daughter has special needs and the nursery was more than accommodating to her additional needs. If you are looking for a nursery for your little one, I would recommend you book your visit

M S (Father of Child)

My child has been at Gingerbread House since she was 9 months old. Now coming up to 3 years I am certain her social and communication skills wouldn’t be as advanced as they are without the support and teachings of the staff here.

Lyndsey G (Mother of Child)

My daughter has been at the Gingerbread House since she was 1, she’s now almost 4 years old. We’ve experienced the baby room, Toddler and now pre-School room. She has had a very good experience there so far and the staff are great. They’re all very helpful ladies and really do take good care of the kids there. I would definitely recommend the nursery, not only because my daughter is so happy there but also the proximity of Purley Oaks and Sanderstead stations.

What Our Parents Say

Very talented and caring staff. My son really loved this nursery. He learnt a lot in all aspects from communication, relationship building, being independent, to learning maths, shapes, letters, word, sentences etc. Really pleased with the development. Thanks to all the lovely staff, you are all the best.

Vaibhav H (Father of Child)

My daughter has been in the nursery since the Baby Room. It has been an incredible journey. Now she is in the pre-school and every day she is excited to go to the nursery. She loves the staff, her key worker, the other kids, the setting (especially the garden). She really enjoys all the activities organised through the week/day. She enjoys and has fun while learning. The staff encourage and support multilingual families making the kids feel proud they can speak more than one language. Now the staff are also getting her ready to go to school this September. The staff have always been amazing, very approachable, flexible and caring.

B C (Father of Child)

The staff are so kind and caring, they all know my daughter even those in different rooms. She skips in to see them every day and they are as excited as me when she does new things. It's a home away from home.

H G (Mother of Child)

I can't thank the staff enough for giving me peace of mind when my child is with them. The number and variety of activities each day is amazing and the fact they manage to get in the garden or go on trips - even in winter is fantastic. My child's development is streets ahead of his peers who don't attend nursery.

S H (Mother of Child)

The nursery has a lovely nurturing and vibrant atmosphere which my son loves. There is plenty of space for him to explore and learn via the vast range of toys and equipment they have. I know he is well cared for. I am always well informed and I work together with the nursery staff to give my son the best possible experience.

Claire F (Mother of Child) 

The care, consideration and attention my son receives is exemplary. Staff pay attention to his strengths and weaknesses and verbalise them to us and ideas for developing them are implemented. All staff demonstrate an excellent attitude and have excellent relationships with their designated children.

A D (Father of Child)

The staff were warm, caring and professional and the facilities are great. We felt like our daughter was part of a big family. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all working there.

E S (Mother of Child)

I have been impressed by the level of care given to my son since he started. The daily warm welcome of the staff makes both children and parents alike feel at ease. Seeing the smile on my boy's face as we drive into the car park is proof enough for me that the team are doing something right.

Alexander M (Father of Child)

My little girl has recently started and is absolutely loving her time at nursery. The settling in sessions were brilliant and really helped put my mind at ease, especially with me starting back at work. The ladies in the Baby Room are super friendly and enthusiastic and I can't thank them enough for their support in what could have been quite an emotional rollercoaster.

G W (Mother of Child)

Once I drop my son off into the Baby Room, I feel he's as safe and as well looked after as I do at home.
