Our daughter has thrived at Scamps, thanks to the nurturing, attentive and supportive staff, as well as the stimulating and fun environment. I love the focus on healthy eating, healthy habits, independence, and emotional wellbeing. She knows all about cutting fruit and vegetables and helping mummy to cook, she reminds her brother to brush teeth to avoid cavities and she expresses her feelings and emotions using words that were not there before. She has blossomed into a very curious and very confident (and loud) social butterfly, always happy to see and greet her schoolmates and the school staff wherever they may be. She has mastered potty training, learnt how to be kind, how to share and take turns without being totally dysregulated – and none of this would have been possible without the very patient and supportive staff at Scamps. So a big thank you to all – you are doing an AMAZING job and keep it up! We are very sad to leave and will miss you lots!

"Henry attended his last session at Scamps yesterday morning. We just wanted to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to you and your team for looking after both of our boys over the years. As parents, we are so grateful that we had caring and reliable wrap around support for our children. It was very reassuring that you were looking after them and we didn't need to worry. The staff have been wonderful and really took the time to get to know our boys and care for them well. Wishing you all well for the future,"

"I just wanted to send you a quick message to let you know that I’ve spoken to a couple of other Mum’s about Scamps recently which has made me realise how many lovely things I have to say - and that I should also let you know as I worry sometimes people only say something when there is something bad to say! All your staff without exception are so warm and kind, and I love that you have such a diverse range of staff too. I think it makes for such a welcoming and friendly environment and the kids definitely feel so at home with you. They always bounce out when I come to collect them with an array of fun tales to tell. Thank you so much for running such a fantastic childcare option for families with young children in this area."

“I cannot recommend scamps enough. they supported my daughter in her early years and she still attends with my son in nursery there too. The care and attention they receive from the staff is 2nd to none. I cannot thank you enough for everything. send your children to scamps, you won't regret it for a second!”

"Scamps has lovely staff, most of whom have been working at Scamps the entire time my children have attended, they know all the children well, noticing when children are a bit down or not quite themselves, they are like kind Aunties. Scamps have lots of fun activities, especially the holiday clubs when they have special days. My children will never forget Willy Wonka day one holiday when the entire Scamps was transformed into a chocolate factory with themed games and activities. It might be because it is not run for profit, it might be the cosy setting or it might be the staff but Scamps has a little bit of magic that makes us feel we have been part of a special club."

"I have used scamps over the past 12 years for my three children. The kids have really enjoyed it. The staff are excellent and I think the slightly more laid back approach has helped my children to enjoy it, as it feels different to their school experience. They particularly like the football and trampoline!"

"I couldn’t recommend Scamps more highly! I am delighted that it was recommended to me by local mums. The level of thought and care that goes into each individual child’s happiness and development is exceptional. My twins are immensely happy there - they learn new skills every day through play. They plant flowers and veg and watch them grow; they watched chicks hatch and are now taking care of them; they cook; they can now speak a little French (and sing lots of French songs); they are taught health and safety in a fun way and they are exploring new exciting things about the world every single day. The outdoor space is wonderful and rare in London... likewise the lack of technology - totally refreshing. Thanks Debbie,Tracey and all of the team at Scamps"

"Over the last 7 years all three of my children have attended Scamps, using the breakfast club, holiday club and little Scamps. Scamps have been a significant part of their childhood and myself and my children would highly recommend Scamps for many reasons. Scamps is like an extension of home when being dropped off at breakfast club. It is not like going to school super early but a warm friendly place to hang out before school starts."

In light of national nursery practitioner day — On behalf of Arthur who cannot say it himself, and on behalf of Alex & I, we would like to say a big, huge thankyou! With Arthur being our first born and autistic, we were absolutely terrified at the thought of sending him to nursery and letting him be independent. Since joining Scamps, I can hand on heart say he has come on in leaps and bounds, and always goes in happy, and more importantly feeling safe which I think speaks volumes about you as a team. You are all absolute superstars, and a group of the kindest, most understanding ladies we know. Both towards Arthur, and us as his parents. Your hard work and passion for the line of work you’re in never goes unnoticed to us, and you truly deserve all the praise you receive. And for our little family, and to our little boy, you have and continue to make a world of difference. So Tara - and all at Scamps, thankyou. A special thankyou to Jola — Over the course of a year you have probably got to know Arthurs funny, quirky little ways and we know he isn’t always the easiest! We have seen first hand the bond he has with you, and we couldn’t be more grateful to you for always showing Arthur kindness, understanding and a gentle approach. You work so hard in regards to his care, but also with us as his mum and dad. The coordination with his therapists, the help in receiving his diagnosis, are just a few examples out of many. You are simply fantastic, and as a family, we thankyou and appreciate you!

We have only just started being part of the Scamps family but here is what we would like to say to the staff: Thank you all for being so warm and welcoming and for making Ginevra's transition a smooth one. It's only been just over a month but we can already see how much she loves spending time there, making sure she says 'hello' and 'goodbye' (sometimes very loudly!) to any staff she sees at Scamps or even outside. Keep up the great work! Kind regards,

All the staff I have encountered at scamps are always so friendly, helpful and supportive and are a real asset to the team. Their passion for childcare shines through and it’s a pleasure sending my child into nursery. Thank you

Thank you for the amazing job you're doing settling Jack into Scamps. Your warmth and care have made a world of difference for him and for us. From the very beginning, we've been so impressed with how friendly and welcoming everyone at the nursery is. It's not easy for parents to leave their child in someone else's care, but you've made it so much easier for us. Jack has been coming home with a big smile on his face, and we know it's because of all the fun and learning he's having with you. The updates and reports you provide help us feel connected and reassured. We really appreciate the effort you put into keeping us in the loop. Thanks a million,

Thanks for this. I would love to give thanks to your team and to Tracey in particular; she has been really supportive getting Matilda settled into her new routine, helping her when she feels upset and also helping us with reassurances when we pick Matilda up again. Many thanks,

Scamps days are always the funnest days. The kids have so much to say when we pick them up about the fun and laughter they have had with your team. Its clear to see how much you all genuinely love working with the children. Thanks for caring for them and providing such a valuable service!
