My daughter has been going to the levels nursery for over year, she absolutely loves it there, she loves the staff and i have seen her come on leaps and bounds, the staff are so lovely and are always keeping me informed of what is needed, they must have the patience of a saint as my daughter is very outgoing and is such a people person, couldn't be happier with her attending here will be sad to see her leave next year when she starts big school.

Review of Spring Nursery Wellsprings from E M (Mother of Child) published on 22 July 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
We have had such a wonderful experience with this nursery. Our son has attended since he was just six months old, and from day one he has been treated like part of the family. The staff are incredibly caring, kind and genuinely invested in the children's happiness and development. It gives us complete peace of mind knowing he is surrounded by people who know him so well and truly care about him. The nursery is exceptionally well managed, and it shows in everything they do. It is warm, organised and welcoming, with a lovely atmosphere for both children and parents. The biggest testament is our son himself: he absolutely loves going. Every morning he runs through the door with a huge smile and genuinely looks forward to his days there.
We couldn't have asked for a better start to his early years, and we are so grateful to everyone at the nursery. We would recommend it without hesitation.
↩Reply from Stacey Lane, Nursery Manager at Spring Nursery Wellsprings
Thank you so much for such an amazing review! We are so pleased to have been a part of these special years - it has been an absolute joy to look after your little one!

Review of Spring Nursery Wellsprings from C M (Mother of Child) published on 22 July 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Well, What can I say about the team at Spring - wellsprings, honestly.. the best bunch of people to support my child. She has been with the team for almost 3 years now and I couldn't be more grateful for their hard work, dedication, kindness, effort and support for not only E but the whole family. She has learnt so much being under the care of the Spring team and she loves each and every staff member, as do I. We are so sad this is her final few weeks and we are truly going to miss you all so very much! Thank you all for everything!

Review of Spring Leiston from Amber B (Mother of Child) published on 22 July 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My son started at spring nursery in september of 2025 and he could only say a few words. In the short time he has been attending his vocabluary has improved immensely. He has formed close bonds with other children and the girls who work in his room. Daisy is an incredible manager and is always there to support my children and myself if needed.
My daughter starts here in September of this year and like my son has I know she too will thrive here.

Review of Spring Nursery The Hollies from F N (Mother of Child) published on 22 July 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
We can't thank everyone at the nursery enough for everything they have done for our son. From his very first day, he has been happy, loved, and encouraged to learn and grow. Watching his confidence, independence, and development has been amazing, and we know the nursery has played a huge part in preparing him for starting school. A very special thank you to Chloe and Ebony. They have been absolutely wonderful, and our son adored them. They made every day fun, caring, and full of smiles. He always looked forward to seeing them, and we will always be grateful for the love and support they gave him. We also want to thank every member of staff for their kindness, patience, and dedication. You have all made such a positive difference in our son's life, and we will always remember his time here with happiness.
We highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, caring, and nurturing environment for their child. Thank you for giving our son such a wonderful start to his journey

Review of Spring Leiston from Alisha W (Mother of Child) published on 22 July 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My son has been going to this nursery for a few weeks now and its far better than previous nurseries. He enjoys the environment and the staff are lovely there, regular updates and healthy meals, overall a greay environment and 100% recommend this nursery
We initially enrolled our daughter for just one day a week, but we were so impressed with every aspect of the nursery that we've decided to send her full-time from next month. The staff are truly wonderful-warm, caring, and welcoming. The way they greet each child every day makes the children genuinely excited to be there. Their attention to detail and the support we've received from everyone at the nursery have exceeded all our expectations. The personalised one-to-one attention, thoughtfully planned activities tailored to each child's individual needs, and the warm, family-like environment have made a remarkable difference in helping our daughter settle in. Compared to her previous, much larger nursery setting, she has integrated so much better here.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone at the nursery for providing our little one with such a safe, nurturing, comfortable, and loving environment where she is happy to learn and grow.

Review of Spring Nursery The Hollies from Hannah G (Mother of Child) published on 16 July 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
We can't thank everyone at Spring-Hollies enough for everything they've done for our daughter. From day one, she's been welcomed with so much kindness, care, and encouragement. She loves going to nursery, and it's been wonderful to see her confidence and happiness grow. When we raised concerns about our daughter's development, the team acted quickly, listened to us, and provided incredible support. Their communication has been excellent throughout, keeping us informed every step of the way and working closely with us to ensure she gets the help she needs.
The staff genuinely care about every child, and knowing our daughter is in such a safe, nurturing environment gives us complete peace of mind. We feel so lucky to have found Spring-Hollies and would highly recommend them to any family.

Review of Spring Nursery RAF Halton from L B (Mother of Child) published on 15 July 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
We're so thrilled we chose Spring nursery at RAF Halton for our little one. He started Explorers in February 2026 and my partner and I regularly say how relieved we are that we chose this nursery- we honestly don't have a single complaint. Staff are exceptionally friendly and always make themselves available chat, the room is always set up and there are lots of opportunities for the little ones to be outside. My little boy is always happy to be dropped off and we know that he is in good hands. Staff know the children well and clearly have positive relationships with them. I was apprehensive about sending him to a different nursery than my older child but I am so so pleased that we did. I'd 100% recommend it to prospective parents.
↩Reply from Madieke Aarssen, Nursery Manager at Spring Nursery RAF Halton
We are delighted to hear that you are happy with all aspects of the setting and pleased that we were able to provide reassurance and support as your child settled into a different setting from their older sibling.

Review of Spring Nursery Layfield from Lewis D (Father of Child) published on 15 July 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
We've had an excellent experience with this nursery. It's been fantastic for our son's learning and development, and he's always happy and excited to go. The staff are incredibly polite, caring, and always willing to help, which gives us great peace of mind. We couldn't be happier with the care and support they provide, and we'd highly recommend this nursery to other parents.
The only suggestion we'd make is that air conditioning in the rooms would be a great addition during the summer months. It would help keep both the children and the staff more comfortable on particularly hot days.
↩Reply from Diane Medd, Manager at Spring Nursery Layfield
Hi Lewis,
Thanks for the lovely review, I will share it with the team. Thankfully we have some air conditioning units on order for the nursery, hopefully they are arrive soon.

Review of Spring Nursery Harlequin from Jenna F (Mother of Child) published on 15 July 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Excellent nursery! Cannot fault them in any way, my little girl who was extremely clingy and struggled being left now runs in so happy and excited to be there! I 100% trust all the staff members and my little one has come on leaps and bounds from attending just two days a week!
I get updates throughout the day on everything she has got up to even what meals she's had! The nursery setting has a home from home feel and I would highly recommend to anyone.
↩Reply from Cassie Cremer, Manager at Spring Nursery Harlequin
Thank you for your lovely kind feedback we all really appreciate it, Harlequin Team
My son has attended Carousel since January 2024. Having seen him progress from the nursery's baby room through to its pre-school room, I am thrilled with the quality of care he has received. The staff are friendly, proactive, and genuinely care about the wellbeing and development of the children. The facilities are good, with a decent range of activities organised for the children, a sensory room, and a good sized garden - although the latter is probably due a bit of a refresh. The food provided to children is healthy and balanced. The activities, along with their food intake, naps, minor accidents and toilet trips are tracked on a helpful app, which gives parents an insight into their child's day. The photos shared on there are especially appreciated. The nursery is also very good value for money, with fees significantly below those of its competitors.
In short, Spring Carousel is an excellent nursery. Its management and staff have every right to be proud of their service.

Review of Spring Nursery Cedars from L W (Mother of Child) published on 15 July 2026 Submitted via Website•

I have nothing negative to say about this nursery! The setting is lovely and age appropriate. The staff are more than lovely, welcoming and professional. The food is great for my child and he loves spending time playing here. My child has been here for over a year and my older child went here and its been great throughout.
My daughter has been attending since August 2024. Any concerns that I have raised have been dealt with really well, the staff are always friendly and give good hand overs. You can see the love between the staff and the children and that gives me Greta comfort knowing I'm leaving her with kind, caring people

Review of Spring Nursery St Bart's from T P (Mother of Child) published on 14 July 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
St Bart's has been brilliant for my son. The staff are incredible, extremely friendly and keep children busy with activities and plenty of outdoor time. I like that all information on his day is on the app so I can see when he's napped, what he's eaten, nappy changes and what he's done.
I do find the consumables pricey and would prefer sending him with a packed lunch. However he is always well fed and I'm happy with the variation of foods.

Overall Experience
Both of my boys went here and absolutely loved it. From the baby room through to preschool the staff have been so supportive and really helped my boys grow. My children have always been excited to go to nursery and been welcomed in every morning. The children aren't forgotten when they leave their room, the staff are pleased to see them grow as they progress through the rooms. Cannot recommend St Bart's more highly.
