Day Nurseries Owned by Growing Up Green Ltd

We've had an excellent experience in Toddlers and Pre-School. Our daughter loves coming to nursery. Also impressed with process of settling our son into baby room. Thanks.

We moved our son at 3 yo and he joined the preschool. He will have been here 2 years as he starts school. He loved it from the start. The staff have remained pretty much the same and he has had 1 consistent key worker. The outside space is amazing and the staff know our son so well and encourage him.

A lovely, caring nursery with wonderful staff. My daughter was always happy there and grew so much in confidence and learning. I am very grateful for all the support and care GUG give her.

We have enjoyed our time at GUG. The outside space is very good. The staff are very friendly and kind. Our daughter and son have been very happy here.

I can only describe Growing Up Green as a home away from home. Everyone there is loving, nurturing and gentle and my son is so happy there. They are responsive and caring and create a family environment for everyone there.

My daughter has been attending GUG since she was just one year old, and she has absolutely loved it. Over the past three years, she has come on so much, and it's been amazing to see her grow and develop. The care and attention given to the children is second to none, and the team are always finding new ways to improve and provide fun, engaging activities for the little ones. They truly are fantastic, and I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation. I'll be so sad when she moves on to primary school next year. Thank you so much for everything you do.

My child has attended for 3 years and loves it! The staff are all loving and caring and my child has thrived throughout their time here. He is excited to go to nursery everyday and has made some special friends. The nursery supply healthy food and encourage the children to try new things, which is reflected in my child's diet at home. I would 100% recommend growing up green to other parents.

My son first started when he was 8 months old and was super happy. Perhaps equally importantly, I also felt really happy with him there, the staff were fantastic with him. I do contract work and Growing up Green has been fantastically flexible to ensure I have the child care I need to get the work done.

My son attended GUG 7 years ago, and despite us moving further away it was the obvious choice for us when looking for childcare for our daughter. The staff are wonderful, so caring and attentive and every time we drop her off/ pick her up you can just see that all the children there are happy and well cared for. Management are always super helpful whenever we need anything. Absolutely love this nursery and would recommend it to everyone!!

Growing Up Green has been a fantastic nursery for both of our children. From baby room through to pre-school, they developed really close, nurturing relationships with staff and key-workers, who got to know their personalities and how to bring out the best in them. There's a wonderful range of engaging activities, from yoga, to music classes, regular forest school park trips, lots of garden time, educational activities and cultural celebrations from Diwali and Eid to Christmas, Halloween and Pride. Home-cooked, healthy organic food and cloth nappies were a big bonus for us (since we used cloth at home). They were really supportive with potty training, transition between rooms and transition to school (Balfour & Downs especially) too. It's a wonderful, warm community with lots of opportunities to build connections too - including the annual "Olympics" event and regular parents' evenings. The garden is a bit small but well-used and regular forest school trips out make up for it.

My son joined Growing Up Green at 6 months old and has really thrived in the year that he has attended. The attention he has been given whilst at nursery is really evident in the speed of which he has learnt new skills.

My son has grown a lovely attachment to the staff at GUG and really enjoys going there.

Also the food he gets at nursery is far superior to what he gets fed at home!

We feel so lucky to have such a wonderful nursery close by for our daughter. The care and support she receives is outstanding. There are so many daily activities, and they go outside as much as possible. There are regular updates to parents via the app and parents evenings, and our questions are always answered by key workers or nursery management. She has strong bonds with all the staff and with the other children there. I am also always impressed with the food they provide and she eats so well when she is there. They also are very happy to follow our lead on things like naps which I hear other nurseries don't do! Overall we're super happy here.

Growing up green is a great nursery! Our eldest went there and they really set her up to thrive in her new infant school. Our youngest who is 15 months now girls to the nursery and us absolutely loving it! The staff are so wonderful, they truly care for the babies/teenies and in the short time she's been there, she's built some really solid relationships with the nursery staff. They always do lovely activities with them, such as painting or get the foam play out etc. the communication with the staff is fab and I'm kept up to date with Marnie's day in terms of sleep, what's she's eaten and nappy changes etc as well as frequent pictures of her playing. We are so happy with the nursery and would recommend it to anyone.

Growing Up Green really feels like an extension of our family and network. Our daughter talks about all the aunties like they are her friends, and this extends to all the members of staff, even members who do not have direct contact through her classes; all know her little personality, and she talks about them around our dinner table. When we move through transitions (whether moving up rooms or emotional milestones), we are delighted most days with photos and detailed accounts of what the class got up to, and how our daughter interacts and grows. The amenities are amazing, but it's the people who make it our community.

The Growing Up Green staff are fantastic and so creative with what activities the kids are doing each day. There is a lovely atmosphere within the whole nursery, and the individual care we have experienced with both our kids has been exceptional. There is a lovely outdoor space in the summer that our kids love tearing around in!

All of the staff & management at Growing Up Green Preston Park are wonderful: very professional at all times, but also very personable and friendly with a genuine interest in our daughters' development and wellbeing. We have been incredibly impressed with GUG since our daughter started here, and we feel very grateful to have such a fantastic nursery in our neighbourhood. :)

Both of my daughters attended Growing Up Green Preston Road at some point. Both loved it. Currently, my youngest is attending and has been there for just over a year. She started in teenies and was immediately at home. Recently, she moved to toddlers, and if anything, loves it more. Growing Up Green is a lovely, nurturing, educational environment, and we love it.

App is updated regularly.

We are so happy with the care our children have received at Growing Up Green. Our son spent 3 wonderful years here and is now thriving at school, thanks in large part to how well the team prepared him for that transition. His time at nursery was filled with engaging activities, nurturing support, and precious friendships. Our 7-months old daughter has now started and she has been welcomed with the same warmth and attentiveness. What sets this nursery apart is also the sense of community they built amongst parent. We've also made amazing friends through the nursery! It's a place where children are seen, supported and celebrated.

It's hard as a new parent letting people outside of family care for your child but the GUG team handled the transition with great care and attention. We soon relaxed as we saw how well cared for our son was. We find the team to be supportive & helpful to parents and intuitive, caring, and professional to the children. The structured play supports his confidence and development & we often find ourselves asking the team for their advice with particular milestones like potty training which they take a very active supportive role. You will also find that they are very good at helping the little ones learn to understand and regulate their emotions, this is further supported by weekly yoga classes which the kids absolutely love. The food is also a big plus at GUG. They do hot lunches and teas which makes our lives so much easier, and it is all freshly made on site. Our second son will be following in his brother's footsteps and enrolling at GUG soon!
