Really pleased for choosing the Priory Nursery

Our daughter started at Mornington House earlier this year, aged 12 months old. We have had such a positive experience of the nursery - it is a small team who are consistently so caring, kind and supportive. The settling in process was brilliant; it was very much tailored to what was right for our daughter, encouraging her to build familiarity and trust with the team. As parents, we also feel immense trust, gratitude and respect for the team. It is such a joy and relief to know our daughter is happy and being so well cared for at nursery. I could not rate the nursery more highly.

My daughter started at the Court House in June 2025. The staff were amazing and professional from the word go and I immediately knew this was the place for her. Since then, her development has gone from strength to strength, the team are so kind and lovely with the children and I can see her social, emotional and cognitive skills coming on leaps and bounds.

We've even successfully potty trained her now thanks to the support of the staff there who have all received high quality training on how to approach this somewhat tricky area. She's only 2 and a bit! I never imagined this would happen so soon for us, but with the encouragement of the staff and watching the other children, it was so much smoother than it would have otherwise been.

I am also impressed with other, seemingly small, changes in her, such as her willingness to try new foods and even her fine motor skills with eating her own meals without needing help from us. The food at this nursery is also so good!

Our little one has recently started at the Court House and it's been nothing but a wonderful .experience for us all. Firstly, we were so impressed with the settling in process - the baby room team were incredibly welcoming, reassuring and put us all at ease. We had lots of settling in sessions in the month leading up to his start date, each gradually building in duration, so that when our little one started on his first day we were all super comfortable and happy to see him go in.

From hearing the experiences of other little ones starting nursery elsewhere, I truly feel like the Court House is head and shoulders above other providers. They have gone above and beyond in making that big first step, for us all as a family, as easy and enjoyable as possible. Our son absolutely loves nursery and has settled brilliantly - a testament to the incredible baby room team. Thank you so much, it means the world to us to see him so happy and thriving at nursery!

Thank you all so much

Our son loves going to this nursery. They have a lovely homely environment and he loves playing in their garden. He enjoys their lunches and often eats far more at nursery than he does at home! The staff are all so kind and patient with our son and he loves to give them all a cuddle when he arrives in the morning. We love that the nursery allows you to pay by the hour, every little helps when looking for potential childcare options!

My little one had an emotional time settling in, which took quite a few weeks. The staff and the manager were very understanding and caring for her, especially during this period, enabling her to eventually feel comfortable and she is now thriving at the nursery! They also welcomed telephone during the day to have a quick check on the child which is incredibly reassuring.

Our son has been here since he was 10 months old and we have counted our lucky stars we found Mornington Nursery. They are so caring, welcoming and warm and I can't fault anything in the 2 years our son has been there. The staff retention is incredible which just goes to show and management and the whole team are just so welcoming and kind they make you feel like family! Our son has his ups and downs, especially with drop-offs, and the whole team give us such reassurance he is ok and after a few minutes is happily playing, he is never a burden and by the time it is picked up, he doesn't want to leave! He has made great friends and we are looking forward to pre-school. Thank you Mornington!

I couldn't recommend them enough!

The Priory Day Nursery has been amazing, supporting my young family as a working Mum. I can't thank them enough for the fast language development for my two-year-old Son, and the staff are amazing! Thank you for your ongoing support.

My son moved from a previous setting to Court House and the staff were extremely accommodating to us, especially considering the timeframe we were working with. My son has settled in very quickly and is extremely happy to go off to nursery every time, I believe this is a massive reflection on all of the staff who have obviously made him feel very welcome and at home when he is there. The staff are all very friendly, approachable and welcoming! It feels like a little family.

Staff always seem attentive and kind to the children, my son loves going there and is always happy being dropped off in the morning. The staff tell me what activities they've been up to during the day and my son gleefully tells me what he's been up to.

We've been so impressed and pleased with the quality of care that our son receives at Court House Day Nursery. The staff all seem to love what they do, and where they work, and that is clear in the excellent retention and the close bonds between kids, peers, and carers. The culture of Court House is lovely and that comes through in the quality of care. It's all particularly impressive given the challenges of the sector/policies. Our little one has been there since 9 months and absolutely flourished, often teaching us all sorts of new games and songs, and surprising us with his developments and good habits! His dietary requirements have been carefully managed, and we receive regular updates of their activities and adventures in the app. We feel really lucky to have such a great nursery to rely on, and where our child can thrive.

Very glad that we chose Priory Nursery as our son absolutely loves going there. He cannot wait in the mornings and days that he is home he keeps asking to go to nursery. I'd love to have him be there full time, but unfortunately funds are tight especially when on maternity. He has progressed so well in his speech and abilities to do daily things himself (putting shoes on, getting dressed etc.) I couldn't be more proud of him and that's all thanks to the lovely staff. Cannot wait for his little sister to start and enjoy it

We would absolutely recommend this nursery and preschool.

The nursery is absolutely amazing with our daughter. She has such a fun time and she loves to be there. They are very good at keeping us informed about her day, her development has come on so much being there. All the staff are so lovely and I feel very comfortable leaving her there.

Nursery with a homely feel and friendly staff. Our son started going to The Priory Day Nursery about 6 months ago. He really enjoys the outside space and all the various creative activities and messy play staff do with the children. Caring and friendly staff, who all know him, no matter which room they work in. We especially appreciate how nursery accommodates his food allergy and he loves the food that is cooked.

Both of my children have attended The Priory Nursery, including during COVID where I had to drop my little one at the door. The staff in all of the rooms have been amazing and always make me feel at ease. There is a very friendly atmosphere and all staff take the time to get to know the children really well. Both of my children have loved attending and have made lots of friends.

The team provide a warm, welcoming and family friendly setting for our children. Activities such as circle time have had a noticeable effect on our children's interest in stories, expressing themselves and expanding their vocabulary. Regular trips to the library have opened up a whole new world for them to explore. A strong culture of helping children learn and develop through expressive play is apparent at all stages. A first-rate team.

The staff are lovely, caring and friendly. Three staff members in particular are fantastic with my son, as are all the staff in the nursery. The manager is great also, she has been great sorting out the hours, always present and friendly. The nursery is really great on flexible hours which was key for us. They are always outdoors all year round which my son loves and have different activities each day. They serve lovely food to the children in a family environment. The billing system is well set up and the app is great where they add pictures of your children each week and what they have eaten, nappy changes etc.
