Hi
My son was in this nursery for 1.5 year (18 months to nearly 3 years old).
I first chose it for the price and location, but then I have been very happy with them, the staff is very good and kind with the children, they absolutely love children and there is a real warmth when you enter the nursery, probably the warmth from latin american people!
We had to change nursery because we relocated in Earlsfield and the current nursery is really disappointing compared to ASN.
They have also good facilities, nice premises, good outdoor space and it is one of the cheapest nursery I have ever found.
I think they don't have a good report only because OFSTED think the standard of English language is not sufficient for the staff caring for children aged 3 to 5. The level of non English native children may be a bit less than in other nurseries but isn't that a real advantage to have the basics of two languages when you start school?
We are actually a French family and have not been worried about this, on the contrary we were so proud when our son, when he was not even 2 years old, was able to count until 5 in French, English and Spanish.
I definitely recommend them.
