A nursery in Croydon has been rated as one of the best in London.

Parents have rated Top Tots Daycare in Croydon as one of the top 20 nurseries, out of 2,479 early years settings in London.

The top twenty nurseries in London have received an award from day nurseries reviews site, daynurseries.co.uk, with the award based on the nursery’s reviews from the children’s families and carers.

The nurseries were rated on overall standard, facilities and outside space, learning, resources and equipment and ICT, care, activities, staff, food and nutrition, management, cleanliness, safeguarding as well as value for money.

There are over 14,000 nurseries in the UK, with over 400,000 people working in the childcare sector.

Around one million children in the UK attend a nursery, ranging in age from three months to five years old.

Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of daynurseries.co.uk, said: “We would like to congratulate Top Tots Daycare on being rated by parents as a top nursery in London.

“Being rated so highly by family and carers of children that attend the setting is a huge achievement.

“Our award is valuable recognition from parents and carers that this nursery is offering their children an excellent standard of care and a stimulating environment, which will help boost their development and hopefully create a lifelong love of learning.

“We hope these awards give parents that much-needed guidance in choosing the right nursery for their child.”

Farheen Mirza, managing director of Top Tots Daycare said: “We are beyond honoured to receive the Top 20 Day Nursery Award, for the second consecutive year.

“Our ethos encompasses our vision to provide a rich and stimulating environment to enable our children to build perseverance, confidence and gain a passion for learning, and we are so proud to have been recognised for achieving just that.

“None of it would have been possible without the dedication of our enthusiastic, resilient and dedicated staff members, who go above and beyond to support the success of our children throughout their journey at Top Tots.

“Thanks also goes to our parents who cooperate in everything we do, and who provide wonderful reviews to show their appreciation.

“We aim to continue providing a safe space for children to flourish, and for their families to feel welcomed and supported.”
