We are very happy with this nursery. Our 2 and 3 year old both attend and they absolutely love it. The staff are kind, caring and always make the children feel safe and welcome.
We have seen a big improvement in their confidence, communication and social skills since they started. They always come
home happy and excited to tell us about their day.
The nursery provides lots of fun activities and a great learning environment for young children. We feel very comfortable leaving our children in their care and would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

I collect my granddaughter twice a week from the nursery she is always happy when I come to collect her. I can't fault the nursery so welcoming when you arrive always a smile on the staff they keep me informed of her day and if I have any questions the staff are always there to help. She always chats
in the car on the way home about the events of the day that makes it an entertaining journey.

We are so pleased with how our daughter has settled into the nursery. The staff have really taken the time to know her, and there are many times when she comes home saying their names and so I know she enjoys her time there! We are so happy with the University Nursery at West Cambridge, and it is a
huge relief for me to be able to leave our daughter somewhere where she is clearly so comfortable.

My son has been attending Nursery on the Green since September 2025, and we could not be happier. From the off, Michelle and the management team were extremely accommodating, even when we had to push back his start date. There was no issue when trying to re-organise his settling in sessions which instantly
made us feel comfortable. The staff are all welcoming and nurturing, and we are always greeted with smiles each morning. There were some tears at drop off initially, but with the support of his care workers in the Ladybirds room and comfort they offered my son, he is now extremely comfortable in the setting. I feel he is growing each day when he attends the nursery, and I love seeing the activities that he gets up to on the app, which gives great comfort to see that he is genuinely happy. The homely setting and kind and genuine staff make for a fantastic space. Huge thanks to Amy, Gracie and Emily for always being so kind and a great team! Would highly reccommend!

We've had such a lovely experience at West Cambridge nursery, especially in the Ladybird room. The staff there are truly wonderful - warm, attentive and genuinely engaged with the children. It's clear they really care.
My daughter absolutely enjoys her time there and comes home happy, which means everything
to me as a parent. She has bonded really well with her key worker Lucy and the other girls which all seem to be so warm and responsive. The team creates a positive and nurturing environment, and I can see how much effort they put into making the days fun and stimulating.
Kelly and Lesa as well are always incredibly responsive and supportive, and Tracy and Tom at reception are consistently friendly and helpful. It makes a real difference knowing there is such a kind and professional team looking after your child.
We feel very grateful to be part of this nursery community.

My experience at Knowel Green has been fantastic. My son has just moved up from the baby room to the toddler room. He's loving it, but does still point to the baby room when we pass. I think it's because of the really strong relationships he built with the staff there. They are caring and take the children's
development very seriously. The facilities are fab and the management team are reliable and professional.

Our eldest son had a brilliant time in his 2 years at Maples Nursery - he was always really well looked after, provided with great activities and lovely meals. He loved the outdoor space and every member of staff, no matter the room they worked in, knew our son by name and were warm and friendly.
As
parents who moved our son from another nursery setting, we could not have been more pleased with the running and management at Maples - the care was always reliable and the communication brilliant.

This nursery is truly amazing and always exceeds our expectations. I am impressed by the professionalism, dedication and care that the managers and the staff show towards my son and the other children. All of the staff are very thoughtful, reliable and communicative, and provide constructive answers
to any questions we may have. Our key persons and others provide us with lots of information about his time at nursery, including details of physical, artistic and environmental activities, emotional interactions, friendships, mealtimes, sleep routines, and the development of various abilities. There are plenty of great fun and educational activities each week, and all the staff pay close attention to each child's unique interests. My son has enjoyed spending time with his friends and teachers, and he always comes home full of joyful stories. The greatest change we have noticed since he started at this nursery is that he has developed a healthy trust and positive relationships with others.

We are so pleased we chose River View for our son. Since joining, he has developed enormously in both confidence and skills. The environment is ideal for learning, and the team consistently encourages him to try new things and build new abilities.
He settled in very quickly, thanks to the care and
support of the team, who made sure both he and I felt comfortable and reassured during the transition into a new environment. I also really value that they spend time outdoors every day, weather permitting.
The food provided is varied and nutritious, which we greatly appreciate. Most of all, the staff are fantastic. Everyone we interact with at River View is warm and friendly, and it's clear they take the time to know every child by name, regardless of their role within the nursery.
We are especially pleased with his key worker, who regularly shares updates on his development and daily experiences. She is kind, caring, and has helped make nursery a happy, safe place for our son.
