Our twins Theo & Helene (3 years old) have been at Hedgehog for 2 years, we live locally. They are extremely happy there and we are delighted with their experience at Hedgehog.
It is a decent sized terrace house, with around 10 children (although it varies from day to day). There is a garden, plenty of toys and decent facilities. Not gleaming shiny new, but well loved and looked after.
The staff are very attentive and Theo & Helene talk about them all the time. The staff provide a fantastic learning environment, and T&H's development there has been striking to observe. There are all kinds of activities, from song singing with local musician Jane Ruby to outings to the London Aquarium.
The kids do all kinds of creative activities like making cards or jewellery.
They have learned all their letters and numbers already, and picked up a bit of Spanish as well. They know all kinds of songs and love listening to stories.
Above all, the atmosphere at Hedgehog is like that of a big, happy family. The kids feel really cared for and loved, and the staff are very natural and affectionate with the kids,
Kate runs the place expertly. Everything is well organised and nothing is too much trouble.
Can't recommend the place enough.
