Day Nursery Owned by YMCA Fairthorne Group in Isle of Wight

warm, and develop genuine relationships with the children. My son has been so happy there and I wish he didn't have to leave to start school in September!

picked my Grandson up I have waited for on average 20 to 25mins. Parents get frustrated especially when a child is brought out then the staff stand and chat with the parent for several minutes before going for another. Can this please be looked into? Many Thanks.

completely forgetting to say 'bye' to me! They are absolutely amazing.

to the hospital and the amount of shift workers there are. I would suggest a poll and ask clients.

they provide. I feel like they look after them like they were their own and never have any doubts leaving them there.

girls are fantastic, there is great communication and my boy adores them! Highly recommend this nursery!

about his key workers so positively has been joyful. I get regular updates through the app they use so I know that even if he’s been tearful at drop off, 5 minutes later he’s happily playing and laughing. The staff are so patient, kind and caring. I cant recommend them enough. The learning and play he achieves at nursery and applies at home is amazing to see, and he only attends one morning a week!

thank you.

is thriving so much, coming home with newly learnt words pretty much every day. From a parent point of view, I like that the setting is still a size where we know pretty much all of the staff and they know us/my son. Everyone is very helpful and the team leaders, office staff and nursery manager are always approachable. You can really tell that everyone has the kids' best interests and their development at heart. Highly recommended!!!

depression, and they were happy for me to ring up as many times a day as I liked until I settled into the routine too.
Mine is now in grasshoppers; she has made some great friends and looks forward to going each day. They have excellent outdoor space and go on little outings to the duck pond and around the grounds, which is one of the reasons I also really like it. Just wish I'd found out about this nursery for my other children as my youngest daughter definitely gets more from this setting than my others did at the one I used with them. The value for money is also great, and you are advised at the cheapest option for your needs and can include lunches or not. Discount for NHS staff too!

approachable. My daughter struggles with speech and is under speech and language and the staff supports her and give her 1-1 time to help and encourage her.

with the special themed events; even the normal day to day aspects are fun, educational and incorporate all the children's needs. The garden space is plentiful and I'm always jealous of their 'campfire' sessions! On an administrative side of things, any query I have had has been resolved quickly, professionally and personally. We will be sad to no longer need their services later this year.

The staff are very helpful with any queries I have had previously. My daughter always comes home super happy about her day at nursery. There is now a Facebook page specifically for the Newport nursery which is nice as staff upload pictures of what the children have been up to and as a parent I can add what we have done at home, also nice as you can talk to other parents too. I always know what my daughter is up to with "parentmail" and this includes things I can do at home with her which links into the weekly planning in the nursery.

emergency vehicles to name a few. The manager and her team are brilliant and we have a really good relationship with them all. We love seeing photos of what the boys get up to on the ParentZone app, and communication is good between nursery and home.

wait to go. The staff are incredible, so kind, caring and fun! They treat our children like their own, full of love and cuddles and genuine care. The nursery has been our absolute constant over this pandemic year. Always there, putting safety first but always ensuring that the fun and care and sense of normality for the children remains. Our children have both formed such strong attachments to staff and that has been so important this year when they haven't been able to see extended family. The range of activities and learning opportunities is amazing. The outside space is just the best and is what drew us to the nursery in the first place. They use it in all weathers which we love!

play. I love how happy my little one is being here.

has exceeded my already high expectation of it for the last 2 years, successfully helping my ‘can’t let go of mummy’ baby blossom into a social, resilient, kind and independent little boy. They went above and beyond when my son was recovering from temporary brain damage to help with reintroducing him back into the nursery setting and constantly helping with advised physio along the way. They have successfully helped aid in any safeguarding concerns I had related to home life, inevitable behavioural bumps that needed ironing, potty training, removal of dummy. You name it they supported you. They’ve been great at communication throughout his nursery journey. Cannot recommend enough.
