Day Nurseries Owned by Cranbrook Independent Nursery & Pre-School

who will be starting in the baby room next year. Couldn't ask for more!

recently enrolled my daughter into the baby room & the same can be said, the staff are fantastic and my daughter is really enjoying attending Clover Court.
Louise the manager, is so helpful and approachable and is always on hand to answer any queries you may have!
I cannot fault Clover Court at all

receives! :)

seconds! The manager and the staff also organise educational outings, which have been fantastic. I've always felt supported by the manager, and both of my children adore the environment and the staff.

she's in such capable hands. I also really appreciate the regular updates, keeping me informed about her progress and daily activities. The nursery management also hosts lots of events, which makes me feel involved and connected. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the experience and would highly recommend.

my daughter is settled at the Nursery. All three girls in the baby room are incredible. I watch my daughter's face light up when she sees them however have an extra appreciation for one staff member in particular. She built a strong bond with my daughter focusing on building her confidence and made sure to update me daily on how she's doing. I have no concerns that my daughters confidence will continue to grow as she learns and plays at the Nursery.

in all aspects of the children's lives, both in school and at home. The encouragement/love/dedication and knowing each child individually is a special gift and our children have formed such special bonds with all the staff and their individual key workers there, that with their support, our children have flourished. The staff are very supportive of home life as well, and personally have found the stability of Acorn for the children, very comforting and helpful in the last 12 to 18 months. The manager and her team are amazing! There are no words to say thank you for everything over our time with Acorn, and it is a heart breaking decision having to change.

all our questions as she could see I was an anxious mum lots of reassurance and answered all my questions.
My little one then started in January 2024 and can honestly say the difference in him he has more confidence and is beginning to learn and understand what is great is they send you updates and pictures on the App and I can do the same so they can see what he learns and does at home too.
The Manager is a great asset to the Nursery she cares not just for the children but for the parents too which makes a massive difference.
The Team there not just my little one Key worker but all the team know me and my Son.

cared for and it shows, as she's so happy to go there.
The garden is amazing and the onsite forest school is a huge bonus.
Would highly recommend it!

the children's care and development at the heart of everything that she does. Every day my son is at nursery I get updates with pictures of what he has been exploring that day and how they have helped to support him in his development. Although activities are set up for all children, it has been clear that they take the time to help my son explore the things he is interested in and learn new things as he goes. I have had amazing communication each day from his Keyworker who has clearly got to know him well. I love that he already gets to explore the outdoor area (which is huge) and partnership with parents is clear with lovely activities set up such as Mother's Day pottery painting!

and knowingly put our children's safety at risk on a daily basis leading to them being eventually harmed due to constant low staffing issues which they continuously ignored and kept secret to parents. A high price for the area for what they offer parents providing extremely poor value for money. Don't be fooled by what they offer on day one. They advertise lovely home-cooked meals by a qualified chef but in reality, what they actually provided was frozen fish fingers and a couple of breadsticks and crackers by a member of staff with no qualifications. I wouldn't recommend this nursery to any parent that cares about their child and wants the best for their child's development.

proves that the company do not care about the welfare of my child and only wants your money.
The lovely staff are let down by those in power who make these shocking decisions to continue to accept children knowing that they are in breach of Ofsted requirements.

what they did and encourage kids to talk a lot, kids are engaged with staff.

in her development since starting. There have been a few problems with receiving newsletters but I.T can be a bit of a tricky issue. We would always recommend Cranbrook Independent Nursery & Pre-School - Ivy Cottage, their outdoor play areas are second to none, way above most nurseries we visited.

work with parents to provide as flexible an approach to childcare as is possible in an environment with multiple children and needs. The manager communicates regularly with parents regarding news at the nursery and provides information about what topics are being covered within the setting and how parents at home can get involved. All in all, it's a lovely environment for the kids and I am happy to leave mine under the careful supervision of the staff.
