Ihsan Children's Centre and Nursery 66-68 Cazenove Road, London N16 6AA

"My boys love attending the nursery and children centre . Such a lovely nursery, has a lot of fun toys and activities led by the teachers. Inviting and have a great Islamic ethos. This nursery is very trustworthy and I feel at at ease sending my child here. They are really good and fast at dealing with appointments such as paediatricians or speech and language therapy. I highly recommend."

"1st time visiting this nursery, all was well and how a nursery should be. After a while i saw the nursery go down hill. Majority of the time, nursery staff seem to be off and not many staff in. Staff are friendly unlike management! I noticed some staff didn't speak very good English, this was shown in written observations and understanding questions being asked to them. Nursery hall seems very hectic with the children crammed into a small space. Disagreements/arguements between staff play out in front of the children, which is highly unprofessional. No Handovers between staff, so when a staff member is absent, you don't know which staff member is taking care of your child. Overall, it needs improving and is an OK setting, better nurseries in the surrounding area."

"I have used the Children's centre stay and play facilities with all 3 of my children and my daughter also attended the nursery. The children's centre is a great place with a community feel and offers plenty of services like exercise classes and adult courses throughout the year at a very good price. The Play area room is large with a good outdoor space and kids have a range of activities to choose from. My daughter really enjoyed attending Ihsan nursery. Staff were caring and went the extra mile to ensure she was making friends and settling well. For the 18 months she was there she was very happy and also really developed her reading and writing skills. Staff are always friendly and greet everyone with warmth and kindness. I would definitely recommend. It's a real bonus to have a place like this in the community."

"As a new mother Ihsan Childrens Centre has been an absolute gem. Prior to lockdown, I was invited for baby groups shortly after my son was born and was astonished at how lovely and welcoming the staff were. During lockdown, the caring staff frequently got in touch with me to check in on my wellbeing and sent me care packages for myself and my baby which were so well received. As a new mother in the middle of a pandemic, having that support and care was heart warming and I'm extremely grateful for that. I have been visiting Ihsan weekly since then for Stay and Play Sessions which my 11 month old really enjoys! The staff are welcoming, caring and supportive each week and always try their best to ensure we are happy and go out of their way to provide activities specifically for my sons interests which is touching! Thank you to all the wonderful Staff and Volunteers at Ihsan for making such an unusual time in the world feel safe and for being there for us!"

"Ihsan is a spacious and well equiped place for your children to explore and enjoy. The atmosphere is very comfortable and the professionalism of the staff both help young children to feel a part of a small hub. The managers are passionate about their role and they are constantly looking at improving the current facilities for both parents and children, along with introducing and trying a range of new and different things. Ihsan has provided so much support for me ranging from well being sessions, antenatal support, providing learning packs and free vitamins along with regular reminders of things I need to keep up with such as school admissions and immunizations. All this is evidence of how dedicated the centre and staff are at providing support for their local community and reminding mums like myself that there is help out there. Whenever I have a baby/toddler related query, Ihsan is my first point of contact! A very essential and much needed place to have in the local community. Would definitely recommend to check it out for yourself before making any decisions solely based on reviews. Keep up the hard work Ihsan!!"
