Day Nurseries Owned by Croft Day Nurseries

My daughter has recently started at The Croft, and although there was some miscommunication in the build up to her starting (I believe this is due to management/staff changes and not the fault of anyone currently at the nursery) she is settling in really well and I have been happy with the support provided by the team so far. The management/office team have been really helpful in supporting me with any issues or questions I have had. The staff in my daughter's room have been really friendly, welcoming and have taken a real interest in getting to know my daughter/her current needs/routines and have been in regular communication with me regularly as she settles in which I really appreciate. There is always a warm welcome at the front door which, I believe, says a lot about the ethos of a setting. I am looking forward to continuing my journey with the nursery and am confident that my daughter is being safely looked after and nurtured within her provision.

The progress our little one is making each day is exceptional, and I know she will continue to flourish at The Croft!

My son also attended Croft, and their staff are exceptional! Always attentive to childrens needs and parents questions. They provide a replica environment of a comfortable home. The Croft in Belvedere has had building work going on, and yet the childrens routines have been practically undisturbed. The staff work so hard daily to settle children in and ensure they have a positive nursery experience.

I would recommend this setting to every parent looking for somewhere for their children to thrive and to develop a love of learning through play.

My kids are really so happy here and if I were to have any more, I wouldn't even think of looking elsewhere.

My son started The Croft when he was 10 months old and 10 months later he is thriving there. At the start, drop offs were difficult with lots of tears but the girls that work there were so warm and welcoming it made it that bit easier. He now runs in without looking back and comes out with a beaming smile on his face. We have never had any issues and I couldn't recommend this nursery more! Since being at The Croft, my son is learning so many new skills daily and has become so confident, it is a big credit to the girls who take good care of him in the baby room with lots of activities for them to do! They are all so friendly and easy to talk to and I am so happy we chose to send him there!

I am incredibly grateful to all the staff for their dedication and efforts. The management team and the staff are truly exceptional, and they perform their duties admirably. I am so pleased that my son had the opportunity to know all of you.

All the staff at The Croft Oakdale are absolutely lovely. My little boy runs in everyday and always gets so excited when we arrive, not wanting to wait a second before he goes in. The staff do activities that facilitate learning and exploration and my son is developing in his motor skills and communication largely due to their influence .

We couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery and would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing, supportive, and inspiring environment for their child.

It's only a small nursery but this is what makes it special. A lovely, lovely place!

We are enrolling our youngest son soon too, and am sure he will enjoy it and flourish as much as his big brother.

What an amazing nursery!! My son has been attending since May 2024! He's grown and learnt so much along the way and that is all thanks to the incredible staff!! Not forgetting Lauren, Chantelle and Tiff who have been so supportive, caring and overall brilliant when it comes to any questions I have about my son and they're always on hand to help support! Thank you to each and every one of you! You truly are the best!

Both of my children attend The Croft Oakdale, My son has attended the nursery since he was 4 months old and is now 3 and in preschool. My daughter started at 4 months in September 2025 and both of them settled incredibly well thanks to the incredible staff. Both Lauren and Chantelle made us feel very comfortable and have been accommodating and friendly throughout our time at the nursery. Each member of staff have taken the time to get to know both of my children and have played a massive part in their development and social skills. The Croft really feels like a warm friendly environment making you feel totally comfortable about leaving your children in their capable hands. I also really like how the staff have been at the nursery for long periods of time and how happy they seem to be. I would highly recommend The Croft Oakdale to anyone looking for a fantastic nursery setting with the most incredible staff, we cannot fault them. Every member of staff are a credit to the team. Thank you

My son has been going to this nursery since October 2023 and we both couldn't be happier! He has made wonderful friends and has always gone into the setting very happy. I have never had any tears! His developmental progress shot through the roof since starting and it his speech and learning has improved massively. All of the staff are amazing, kind and great at communicating and the managers Chantelle and Lauren are incredible. It just goes to show their amazing leadership skills with how many members of staff have been there for such a number of years. They offer so many different activities and things to do and I love hearing about all the new things he's been doing. Nothing is too much trouble and I always feel at ease that my son is safe and content while I am working. I am due my second baby soon and will definitely be sending her to this nursery next year too.

Just wanted to share some feedback regarding our experience so far at The Croft Belvedere. Overall my sons transition into Nursery has been very positive. As a slightlysensitive child I was nervous about how he would settle and how we would manage with multiple milestones happening at the same time - return to work, start of nursery and start of school for older child.

The staff have been great at supporting him especially where he was unwell a few times at the start. They are always friendly, attentive and caring. Any issues are always handled with care and respect and every time we have been invited into the setting it is evident that they take real pride in their workMy son is very happy and thriving developmentally due to well planned activities and schedule. The experience has definitely helped elevate some of the pressure during this transition period for our family. Thanks again.

I am so delighted with my experience at Croft. They look after my son like family and he is happy and excited to go to nursery and is progressing so well with his physical and non physical skills. He is in the baby room and they have a great app where I can see what activities they do in a day and receive wonderful updates on his progress and funny things he does in they day. The staff are so kind and caring of the children and I love the events they organise for special days and holidays. Could not recommend more, 10 stars!

Our daughter is so happy at The Croft, she has been there since she was 7 months old and has thrived. The staff are wonderful, warm and incredibly caring. Their communication is excellent and we completely trust them. The food I provided is freshly cooked and she setting itself isn't too large, so it really feels homely:

Croft Nursery in Belvedere has been a fantastic experience for my son. He started in the Squirrel Room with Lily, who was incredibly caring and attentive. Now in the Badger Room, he's thriving thanks to Demi, Emily, and Aimee-supportive, nurturing, and deeply engaged in his development. As a working parent, I truly value the regular updates through their family app, including photos and milestones that keep me connected to his day. The nursery is beautifully maintained, clean and constantly improving, with new equipment and sensory activities that my son loves. Any concerns I've raised have always been taken seriously and handled with care. Jenny and Jo, the managers, have been incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our journey. I'm so grateful for the love and attention my son receives every day. Croft Nursery is a truly special place. A final thank you to the finance team-equally professional and responsive. There are many names I haven't mentioned, but I thank the entire team!

A really great nursery where both our daughter and now son have had wonderful experiences. Really good and caring staff. Both our children have been really looked after well. The pre-school prep was particularly good and helped with that transition. Cannot recommend it highly enough.
