I can't say enough good things about this nursery. My son has been attending this nursery for a while now, and the growth and development he's experienced here have been remarkable. The staff is incredibly friendly and dedicated to ensuring that the children have a safe and nurturing environment to learn and play in. In particular, Ms. Marukh stands out as a truly exceptional teacher. Her loving and supportive approach has made a significant impact on my son's learning journey. She goes above and beyond to help the children understand concepts, making learning both fun and engaging. Thats the most important for a toddler. Everything has to be fun and engaging. The nursery as a whole has exceeded my expectations, and I'm grateful for the positive influence it's had on my son's growth. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a place where their child can thrive and learn in a loving and caring environment.

My daughter enjoys going to the nursery everyday. Only thing I wish they would change is the pick up and drop off policy. We never get to see the teacher during pick up or drop off. Our daughter needs to be dropped off at the nursery entrance and a staff takes her to the classroom from there. We have not even seen her classroom aside from the pictures which is a shame. I dont see why we cannot drop her off to the classroom like other nurseries. I would prefer a more open door policy in this regard.

Choosing a daycare for our little one was one of the most important decisions we've ever made, and we are incredibly grateful to have found Small World Nursery. From the moment we walked through their doors, it was abundantly clear that this was a place filled with warmth, care, and immense love for the children they look after. The staff have created a second home for our child. A place she rather be than at home! :) The communication with the team has been nothing short of amazing. They keep us updated, share precious moments through photos, and are always available to chat. A special shout out to Miss Jamila, the branch manager and her lovely ladies, Miss Phoebe and Miss Erica for running the institution seamlessly on a daily basis. If you’re blessed to have your child looked after by Miss Beth or Miss Marukh and their respective teams, I’d say you have won the jackpot! Unfortunately, my LO hasn’t been looked after by the other amazing teachers but over the last year I’ve met most of them and even in those short encounters I got a sense of how nurturing and loving they are. We can't thank them all enough for their dedication, compassion, and their genuine love for what they do. We wholeheartedly recommend Small World Nursery to any parents looking for a nurturing, safe, and joyful environment for their children.

Our daughter has been attending Small World Nursery (previously Step Up Nursery) for a year now. We have seen a lot of improvement with her since she joined. She used to be shy and not sociable, but with the help and great effort of the teachers, TAs, and entire staff, after a few months of attending the nursery, she became confident, independent, and expressive. Thanks to Small World Nursery 👍❤️

My son has been in this nursery since he was one year old, and I have seen the positive development over the years. He was happy and comfortable to go there every day, even all day. We never had the feeling that he was unhappy there or that his daily stay there would be difficult for him. There is a regular school schedule for the children, which the parents receive before the start of the week and which is associated with a large selection of activities and courses. In the afternoon, the children are in day care which take care by friendly and patient team. The communication was very easy and fast through WhatsApp which made my day easier. I would like to thank Mrs. Raghad who was a kind, friendly, and professional teacher who made us feel that we were in good hands, and my son appreciated her very much. I would also like to thank the whole team, who were awesome during the whole 2 years. I can highly recommend you (former Step up nursery) small World Nursery

My daughter is going to the nursery full time since last 6 months. I am really happy the way she is improving day by day. It took 1 week for her to get adjusted as it was her 1st time. I would heartily thank Ms. Amal who has gone extra mile to make my daughter get adjusted to the new environment. Now she goes to the Nursery happily. There are huge range of activities and classes planned on daily basis. Teacher shares the weekly academic plan to parents ahead the start of week. 2nd half of the day will be like a day care and the staff really take care of the kids very well. I am very happy for joining my daughter to StepUp Nursery. Front desk / Staff will be available any time on call / whatsapp if any inquiries. They also have a full time nurse to take care of Kids health. I highly recommend StepUp Nursery to all parents. Specially Recommend Ms. Amal if your kid is beginner and is under 3 years age.
