My son was able to come out of his shell and make new friends with the help of chickywicks staff. He found it fun to go to chickywicks and learn a lot there I felt happy and safe to send my youngest there. As she was a baby I had a different experience they reassured me about babys and developing at different ages with things like eating solids. The stuff have an amazing atmosphere and where very supportive as they knew and understood its hard for a mother to leave her baby with other people. I recommend it to any first time parents.

We have tried other nurseries in central London so once moved to northwood we put our son into Chickywicks after checking all the nurseries around. Chickywicks is the best nursery we have ever come across mainly due to the ladies and a gentleman who work there. Our little one loved the nursery! The stuff was very kind and professional, we never had a single problem with them. The two lady head managers have decades of experience and run the nursery extremely well. Our two core ladies are really kind and are loved by our little one. Communication is so easy, they do lots of activities in a safe

My daughter used to go to chickywicks a few years ago and she ansolutely loved it. My son now goes there and again he loves it also. The teachers are so welcoming and are fabulous with the children. They update me on every visit to let me know how he got on. Their dinners are varied and but very healthy. I have the option to send my son to the nursery which is attached to the school which my daughter now goes too, but i have decided to keep him at chickywicks. Definately recommend them.

The management itself is outstanding and the lady whom owns it goes out of her way to ensure that all children are well accomadated. It is clear that the childrens happiness is paramount and my daughter always comes home buzzing from her day. I could not say a bad word about this nursery. It is a warm family environment where every child is
