Parent Feedback

At the Little Tug Boat, we think of ourselves as an extension to your family. That’s why it is always so wonderful to receive lovely feedback from parents.

Fantastic staff, great continuity, great activities! Lots of learning always. A happy environment and the children seem to thrive there!

Provide a safe and nurturing environment, a home away from home. I love the team’s ability to engage and teach the children in a way that captures their imagination and embraces their individuality.

The most lovely, nurturing environment. A very happy home from home where you all really care. Communication is fantastic, and I love that I never feel rushed at pickup so I can hear all the news.”

I appreciate the homeliness and how my child is treated by everyone. For us with no family around, it is really important for her to feel loved beyond her parents everyday.

The best nursery! I am extremely happy with it. Staff are very kind, gentle and caring with children. This is a safe, warm and friendly environment. Activities are great fun for them.
My older children stayed there from 2 to big school, he loved it and he was absolutely ready for big school! And my 

2 years old is having the best time there as well. I would never have put him in another place!

Our daughter has been at the Little Tug Boat for a year and has absolutely flourished. It is such a special, caring nursery with the most incredible staff. We feel very fortunate to have secured a place and cannot recommend The Little Tug Boat Day Nursery enough

Silver lining of Covid – we were lucky to get a spot for my daughter in this lovely nursery for the final year before school. Very pleased and would highly recommend to anyone for the below reasons:
– Privately-owned with family feeling
– Caring, positive and lovely teachers and management
– Learning presented in an interesting and appealing manner for the kids, amazed how much she learned and repeated back to us
– Delicious food with varying menu, kids get to try different cuisines. My daughter would rave about the food every day
– Structured day, kids know what to expect from the day; garden time daily.
– Preparing confident learners ready for the ‘big’ school.

We couldn’t be happier with how our child’s emotional wellbeing and development is supported. For us, this is the most important aspect of nursery. She has been at the Little Tug Boat Nursery full time since 11 months old, and we need to be comfortable that has the emotional support that she needs. The team are just brilliant at this, without exception. This is visible across everything they do from enthusiastic welcomes in the morning on arrival to enthusiastically acknowledging and supporting her achievements and delivering cuddles when needed

The Little Tug Boat team is truly exceptional and that really does drive the whole ethos of the nursery. I still frankly don’t understand how the Team can do so many fantastic activities with the children in a week, including the nursery wide activity (park, music, sports, yoga etc), topic, current events, whilst still covering specific learning activities and fitting these in around meals, snacks, free play! It is just brilliant. The team are so enthusiastic, high energy and visibly caring and committed to the children. Tug Boat is a very special place and we feel extremely lucky that our child has a place there. Huge thanks to all the team!

Hats off to the chef! How you manage to get my daughter to eat all that wonderful food is a mystery to me!! Thank you so much!

“Best nursery in Fulham and the best I could wish for my son”

“In the seven months he has been at The Little Tug Boat, we have seen our son grow and flourish. We are constantly impressed by the variety of purposeful activities that the children engage in, by the level of attention and care given to feeding and nutrition and most of all by the balance of a nurturing and stimulating environment that the Little Tug Boat team manages to create.” 

“Our daughter absolutely loves it here. The beauty of this nursery is that it’s flexible and works around your family. Because it’s smaller than some other nurseries, it feels more personal, like one big happy family. I never worry about my daughter and am always amazed by what she learns and how happy she is there. She is flourishing under their care. Couldn’t recommend it enough”

“The Little Tug Boat is a really exceptional nursery – above everything, there is always a loving, fun atmosphere. It is a small nursery and the children know all the staff well and that gives a feeling of family”

“A small and very caring nursery. A home away from home. My son has blossomed during his time at Tug Boat. The staff are professional, compassionate and make you feel so welcome. All staff members go out of their way to chat with him, making him feel very secure and loved. The children’s thoughts and ideas are valued giving them a sense of ownership over their learning.”
