Our twins attended this nursery seven years ago, and now our little boy attends too. We wouldn't have chosen anywhere else for him.
The staff are caring, professional, knowledgeable, and always approachable. They create a nurturing environment where children feel happy, safe, and supported. All of our children have thoroughly enjoyed their time here, and their development has been fantastic.
The facilities are excellent, with a wide range of activities and a great outdoor space that encourages learning, exploration, and play. We are incredibly grateful for the care and support our family has received over the years and would highly recommend this nursery to others.
I would highly recommend Heirs and Grace's!
We absolutely love Heirs & Graces and choosing this setting for our children has been one of the best decisions we've ever made. Both of my children have attended full time since they were 10 months old and the development we've seen in them has been wonderful. Their confidence, social skills, physical skills, communication and independence has grown so much and nursery has played such a huge part in that. They always come home from nursery full of stories and can't wait to go back the next day. The staff are truly amazing - caring, patient and incredibly dedicated. It's clear how much they love working there and that creates a safe, nurturing and fun environment for the children. Communication with parents is fantastic and we always feel involved in our children's progress, as well as receiving several updates throughout the day with photos showing us what they've been up to. We're incredibly grateful to the whole team and would recommend this nursery without hesitation to any parent!
Our little girl has been at the nursery for just over a year now and is well and truly part of the Heirs and Graces family. She absolutely loves attending nursery, the staff are really attentive to her needs and the communication is excellent. As parents it is the hardest decision sending a piece of your heart to nursery but the Heirs and Graces team are really proactive, caring and supportive: we do not regret our decision. They welcome and listen to parent feedback and act accordingly, and it really does feel like Heirs and Graces prioritises the children above the challenges nurseries are under from the government funding. For example, our little one is a really fussy eater but all of the staff, especially the Chef, go above and beyond to make sure she eats nutritious foods daily.
This nursery go above & beyond for all children.
The management & staff are all incredible. I would highly recommend Heirs & Grace's to all.
Our son has been attending Heirs and Graces since he was 10 months, he is almost 4 and loves coming to nursery everyday. All the staff are wonderful and so nurturing. We love receiving daily posts and pictures of him enjoying so many wonderful activities. He really loves his lessons in sign language and French too! The outdoor area is wonderful too! Thank you all
I couldn't be happier with the care my child has received at Heirs and Graces nursery. He started at 6 months old and is now almost one and a half, and the progress he's made has been incredible, from sitting up unaided to now almost walking, and from milk & puréed foods to enjoying full meals.
The staff are warm, attentive, and truly dedicated. I trust them fully, they always keep me updated and call whenever needed, which gives me real peace of mind.
My child is happy, settled, and clearly well loved & cared for. I'm so happy and grateful for everything they've done with my baby and would highly recommend them.
I can't review the nursery and all the staff high enough. I feel so relaxed and confident leaving my little girl here why we are at work. She loves it and has come on so much since being at heirs and graces.
We are so happy to have chosen Heirs and Graces for our little boy and have loved watching him grow and thrive under the nurture and care of all the wonderful staff here who work so hard. It's a family-run nursery who care for your child like their own. It's so reassuring knowing that our child is in safe hands, has fun and has wonderful relationships with all his staff both old and new. We know our little boy will miss nursery so much when it is time to move on and that's testament to this wonderful setting and the people who make it.
I cannot shout from the rooftops louder about Heirs and Graces. My 2 year old girl has been here since she was 7 months old. I truly believe she wouldn't be the same little girl she is now if it wasn't for her time at H&G. She is extremely clever, polite, well mannered and just such a funny little girl. I cannot applaud the staff here enough. Every single member of staff greets you with a smile and a warm welcome. The work that the girls put in is outstanding. You can really see how much every single child loves being there and how good it is for them. My little girl has the best time when she is there she runs in the door in the morning and cannot wait to see her friends. The nursery is always spotless, they have lots of toys and activities suitable for the children's ages. The food that is provided for the children is excellent also. Would recommend this nursery to anyone 100%.
Both children have loved being there and I'm really grateful for the progress they've both made at nursery and how well prepared they've both been for school!
The atmosphere is always positive and welcoming, both my children settled straight away and have loved every minute there since.
Communication is fabulous, including photos observations and personalised detailed reports.
So grateful for everything they do there.
This nursery provides a truly nurturing environment where every child feels valued and supported. The focus on enrichment is evident in the wide range of engaging activities that promote curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Staff are highly dedicated to supporting each child's progress towards early learning goals, tailoring their approach to meet individual needs.
What really sets this nursery apart is the strong sense of community-it genuinely feels like a family. The staff consistently go above and beyond, not only in caring for the children but also in building meaningful relationships with parents. Their warmth, professionalism, and commitment create a safe, happy space where children can thrive and reach their full potential.
They gave my daughter the best start in her education and she was so ready for reception.
They are amazing with my son who is 19 months old, he has come on so well since starting over a year ago. All the girls are lovely and very friendly.
The nursery as a whole have also been very supportive in times of need which I appreciate.
The girls go above and beyond for the children
Cannot fault the nursery. Our child currently is thriving in his environment at Heirs and Grace's and loves going into nursery.
A great nursery, with great facilities. And all the staff are great! 10/10.
As the mother of a child with current additional needs, I cannot fault the level of care and support I have received. Not only for my child but for myself too. Nothing is too much trouble and the level of care is genuine. My child also absolutely loves her days at nursery, some days I don't even get a look back to say goodbye! The staff are amazing and with development reviews which is great to be up to date with but also the multiple daily updates on what my child has been up to is always a lovely addition. The meals are balanced and varied, too. All in all I could not recommend heirs and graces enough!
A gorgeous family-run nursery where the staff truly care for the children. My child has come on so much since attending and really enjoys going - she absolutely loves the staff.
As an anxious mum, I found it difficult at first leaving my child with anyone, but I go to work knowing she is in safe and caring hands.
I honestly wouldn't send her anywhere else.
Heirs and Graces is an amazing nursery, from the moment we arrived at the nursery we knew it was the best place for our daughter. The whole team are so good at what they do and have helped our daughter to thrive. Thank you all for the amazing work that you do :)
I love the communication app so I can see what my girls have been up and eating throughout the day.
I feel my girls are / have been safe, happy and well looked after. I would highly recommend.
