It is well established, clean and very well organized.

Fleur has been enjoying her time at the nursery. We've tried other nurseries and this has been the best so far. she has made friends, eats her meals and is always happy to come in. The staff are truly lovely and very great with her

If you are looking for a welcoming environment, where staff go above and beyond to ensure your child thrives as well as providing the best care, then Paintpots is the perfect nursery.

Very friendly, excellent staff across the board.

Thank you for everything you do - truly a wonderful nursery!

It's an amazing place with trustworthy staff. My first child went to this place and now my second child is here. I'm so happy with them, I hope they continue to be as careful as they have been so far; this brings peace of mind to our family. Thank you :)

Here's a short, warm review you could use:

-

We honestly couldn't have asked for a better nursery than Paint Pots. The team have been absolutely amazing with my child so nurturing, patient and genuinely caring. What has stood out most is how adaptable they've been, always willing to adjust to meet my child's individual needs and make sure they feel safe, understood and included.

Their communication is excellent, and I always feel listened to and supported as a parent. It's such a comfort knowing my child is in an environment where they are valued and encouraged to thrive. We're so grateful for everything they do.

Amazing nursery! Could not recommend enough. My child has attended this nursery since 11 months old, she is now 2.5 years old. My daughter absolutely loves nursery, every morning she is so excited to go and see all her friends and her key workers. The staff in all of the rooms she has been in over the years have been nothing short of amazing, they are always so welcoming and supportive. The managers are also extremely approachable and ensure any worries or queries you may have are dealt with quickly and efficiently. I have recommended this nursery to multiple friends whose children now also attend paintpots, and they too are very happy with the experience their children have. The nursery invest a lot of time, money and effort into making it the best environment for the children and make special occasions extra special whether it's a mince pie and hot chocolate in December or a stay and play session. The nursery truly care about each and every one of their families and it really shows!

Couldn't recommend this nursery enough! My only regret is not sending my son sooner before the schooling year starts for him.

Always puts our needs first and been there for us every step of the way with our child's future education

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Paint Pots Nursery. We were naturally anxious when our son first started, but the management and staff were incredibly supportive and helped us all settle in. He attends Baby 2 and absolutely adores his key person, Ellie. The bond they share is so special, and it's clear how well she understands him. He tells us about her every day that he's in nursery, and also Amy and what they've done with him that day!

He also loves the nursery pet, Shelly the tortoise. The staff all know how much he enjoys seeing Shelly and are always happy to get her out for him, which shows how well they know each child individually. Every member of staff greets him by name, making him feel valued and secure.

Since starting, his speech and confidence have improved so much. The team support his development and nurture his interests, providing resources around the things he loves. Most importantly, he genuinely loves going in every day, which means everything to us.

My 3 year old boy loves going to Nursery everyday. Its great that he has a key worker who updates and discusses his development updates with us regularly. My boy struggles with speech and they are doing lots of work to bring him along. I always have peace of mind when he attends. Highly recommended

Staffs are good and feel comfortable to talk to them. My boy has been loving going to his nursery. I feel confident and safe to leave my child with Paintpots. I can feel the change in every aspect for him. At times I even feel I should have started getting my kid early there.

Paintpots is such a lovely nursery that creates great bons with both the children and staff and also the parents and staff.

My child has been attended since he was 1 and he's now over 2 years old, he has created such a great bond with his key worker and other children. He gets so excited to attend nursery and runs into the room very happily, it makes me feel so relieved to know that my son is attending a setting that he loves and he looks forward going to.

My child's speech has also come on massively! He was referred to Wellcomm as I was concerned about his speech but since being at nursery this is no longer such an issue.

The food at Paintpots is also such a good variety, my son has become alot more adventurous when trying new foods and i'm putting this down to the nursery offering such a good selection!

He also has gained so much confidence with other adults and children.

We really appreciate the staff at Paintpots and can't wait for my child to create more memories with them

My 12 month old has just started really struggled in the first few days but the girls in the baby room and all nursery staff have been great to help him settle would recommend and my son loves food so the chef comes greatly recommended

Outstanding nursery! Our little girl has attended since she was 7 months old, she has just turned 2 and we couldn't be happier. The staff are all fabulous and so caring! Our little girls goes in happily every day she is there and the photographs we receive daily show us what an amazing time she is having. Highly recommend!

We cannot recommend Hartford Old School House Day Nursery (Paintpots) highly enough. Both our children attended from their early years through every stage and received exceptional care and preparation for school. The balance of learning and play, along with the fantastic indoor and outdoor facilities, helped them grow in confidence and independence.

Now aged 8 and 10, they still attend the before and after school club. The team manage drop-offs and pick-ups and are always flexible with our busy, shift-working family life. From forgotten water bottles to last-minute changes, nothing is ever too much trouble.

The staff are professional, caring and truly invested in helping children thrive. Great timings, great value, and a genuine family feel - we are incredibly grateful for their continued support.

We cannot speak highly enough of the Old School House nursery. We were very nervous about our daughter starting nursery last year but the best decision we have ever made was sending her to Old School House. The staff are absolutely wonderful. They love and care for the children in the nursery as if they are their own. We receive daily updates, photos and videos on the app which, as anxious parents, really does help to put our minds at ease. The nursery do so much with the children, like crafts and trips out and our daughter has developed so much since she started. She has clearly become very attached to the staff there and has made some lovely friendships too. The nursery have also been extremely flexible and will always do everything they can to help us. We absolutely love the nursery and would fully recommend it to anyone considering where to send their children.

Sarah, Emma and all the staff are incredible! The nursery is clean, my twins are learning and entertained every day with no plastic toys and no screens but lots of interactive learning and even walks/trips outside of the nursery. The food is fresh and diverse, lots of fruit and veg. All shown to us through the app which is great as it's always up to date with activities, photos and nap times etc. Couldn't recommend a nursery more!

Hartford Old School House has been a fantastic nursery for my daughter. She has absolutely thrived in the care of the dedicated staff. Sarah and team always respond to any and all queries quickly and my daughter is greeted with a smile every morning. My daughter was born with a complex medical need and the nursery has fully supported us every step of the way. We love hearing about her day on the way home and would happily recommend Hartford Old School House.

We couldn't be happier with this nursery. Our daughter Maya is now 2.5 and has been attending since just before her first birthday. She absolutely loves going in, which says everything about how safe, happy, and cared for she feels there.

The team are incredibly warm, nurturing and they always take the time to listen to any requests or concerns and are consistently responsive and supportive. Nothing ever feels like too much trouble!

We're especially grateful for how flexible and accommodating they are, which has made balancing working family life so much easier. We highly recommend Hartford day nursery to any parent looking for a nursery!
