Term Update 2022

Harmony, for the last 4 years, you've for helping me bring up two strong, confident children who will/have transition to primary school without any problems. My youngest can't wait to join in the next coming months. "Thankyou Harmony - you are truly a wonderful educational institution that OFSTED should recognise as a leading and remarkable nursery".

Our daughter started at Harmony in February 2022 at 15 months old. Jana, the manager, welcomed us as family members and we felt part of a community from day one. Our daughter really enjoys going to the nursery every morning. She feels safe and learns a lot as she always sings new songs, she’s already able to count and we are really amazed by her progresses as English is not her primary langage. We speak French at home so we know most learnings in English are coming from the amazing staff at Harmony. Elisa and the other staff of the Pluto room are so loving and caring, we appreciate their efforts in sharing Our daughter’s routine and learnings every day. We also appreciate communication from the managing team and their efforts to make Harmony a great place for the children, the staff and the families. We are so grateful for the environment Harmony Nursery provides to our daughter and look forward to seeing Our daughter’s progresses and learnings in the coming months and years!

My two daughters went to this nursery since 2017 and we have been extremely happy by the staff team, the support we got during the covid period and the development progress. The team is hard working and really dedicated to the kids wellbeing, the management team is very responsive and responsible, always doing the best for the kids. We never had any issue with anything and our two kids have been delighted going there. They were very well prepared as well for their entry into reception and the big school.

We have two daughters at Harmony, one of them due to graduate in a month, who has been at Harmony since September 2021, and one who started around April 2022. The elder one has attended two other nurseries previously (one on a long term basis, and one on a shorter term basis during the covid lockdown). The first thing that comes to mind with Harmony is how much affection both of our girls get from the staff. Our youngest is clearly adored - she is hugged every morning, and in the evenings she's reluctant to leave, preferring to continue cuddling whichever member of staff is holding her, and we always know how safe she is. Our eldest likewise has so much joy when she talks about her teachers, bringing things in to talk to her teachers about, etc. Over her time at Harmony our eldest has really grown in confidence. Unlike the other nurseries, Harmony hosted a play over Christmas, and our daughter was so happy to have a leading role in that play, and we think that's helped grow her confidence. We've also really seen her grown - she has far more interest in her bedtime stories, and in telling her own stories. Her drawing has improved markedly, and she's now able to count and recognise numbers - and we've been really struck with how fast she's learning at the moment. Lastly we're really impressed with the communication from Harmony. Other nurseries have always been quite slapdash, with messages sometimes taking days to make it from the classroom to the home. Harmony consistently let's us know straight away when there's something we need to do or to bring in, as well as milestones in our daughters' learning.

My son started in August 2021 and has had a positive experience. He is learning well and happy at the nursery. He has experienced a range of activities and is fully engaged with the learning provided. The best thing I have found is that he genuinely loves going to nursery, he is excited about attending and wants to spend time there, which gives me great relief as a parent working full time

My daughter started at Harmony in September, 2020. As working parents, we were relieved that our daughter was in the caring hands at Harmony Neighbourhood Nursery. All the staff were cordial to my child and very responsive to any needs that may arise during her stay. The cleanliness and quality of care have been unparellal and the best among other nurseries in the area within an affordable fees. My daughter achieved good training in teamwork and age-appropriate learning that can only be possible from a good nursery. The attachment that my daughter had grown with the staff of the nursery will be cherished by us as well for a long time even though she is about to start school in a few weeks. We wish nothing but the best for the nursery.

My son attended the nursery since April last year. He is very well looked after by all the staff here. We are quiet happy with his development in literacy, mathematics, social skills etc. The school is following the education guidelines, the teaching is full of funs but also very firm. All the staff here are caring, experienced and truly devoted themselves into their jobs. The school respect and accept the families from different cultures. As a parent, I also felt that the communications between school and parents group is alway easy , positive and updated.

Both my children have attended here between 2015 to current. I was so happy with my first child’s development and happiness at Harmony that I confidently put my second child in. Children here are happy and learning well it’s evident as you pick them up from the nursery. The staff are friendly and this nursery supports working parents or parents who are studying. They helped me so much I was able to complete my degree and progress into a great job due to their safe provision of my children. The nursery is a mixed cultural nursery and they learn about all these cultures too. Lovely place.

My son spent 3 years here. I find it a very good nursery. Coming from a minority group myself, I didn’t observe any discrimination as another review suggested.
