My child settling in quickly @ Newlands nursery as all the staff are fun, kind, and welcoming to the children. I am impressed their well plan activities on daily bases. The children take part in wide range of activities which support all areas of her development. The staff are always communicating to
us and supportive especially from her key person. I will recommend this nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The nursery has good outdoor areas and a lovely selection of outdoor garden activities. It's great that they often do the woodland walk and multi sports on a set day each week. My child doesn't tell me about what he has learnt so will be nice to have more updates on the app or a paper newsletter to
see what he has been up to. A few times he's come home and had an accident in his pants so would love for staff to try and encourage the children to go bathroom before pick up. He loves the multi sports and the garden time activities. Staff are great and easy to talk to. Food is good we bring in lunch but nursery provides snacks etc. nursery is very clean and well looked after we love the borrowing books.

We've had two children attend this preschool, and both absolutely loved their time there. The staff are caring, attentive, and really take the time to understand each child's personality. It's been wonderful to see how happy and confident our kids have been each day. We couldn't recommend this preschool

My daughter just loves to go the centre. She's always coming out with happy face and had lots of fun. The centre really try their best they just keep organising fun entertaining and educational activities for the kids. The communication is excellent. Parents can talk with the centre workers even on
morning or at collection time or on phone. The manager responds the emails also very quick. Everyone is really kind, they love the kids and they love them too. My daughter learnt so much already at the last couple of weeks and she's just getting more and more confident and independent after every single day.

Applemore Early Years Centre

from Emma L (Mother of Child) published on 24 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with our experience at Applemore. Our eldest started here when they were two and has just moved on to school, and our youngest (now two) has recently joined. The staff are absolutely fantastic - every single person who works there is warm, caring, and genuinely invested in the
children's happiness and development.


We were initially unsure about the mixed-age setting (2-5 years), but it's actually been one of the best things about the nursery. The younger children learn so much from watching and joining in with the older ones, while the older children gain confidence and learn to be gentle and helpful. It creates such a lovely, family-like atmosphere.


A special mention must go to Mandy, our child's key worker, who is exceptional. She goes above and beyond to understand each child's needs and personality, and she's made both our children feel safe, loved, and encouraged every day.


Applemore is a lovely start for young children and I highly recommend it.

My little boy has been going to this pre school since September and he LOVES IT! He's always talking about pre school and very excited when it's the days he goes. The staff are really good with him there, provides photos of activities he's done and gives a detailed overview on how his day has been and
what he's ate/not ate etc. They all are really sweet, bubbly and welcoming and I am so glad I chose here :)

I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone! My daughter went here for 3 years and now my son goes there and just the best experience for both parents and children. The staff are just amazing, they're so supportive and friendly and when picking your child up from their day, you get a good briefing
of how they're day was, what they got up to and any issues or problems. In the 3-4 years I have been going to this nursery I have never once had any issues at all, my daughter loved it and still talks about the staff there. My son, who is under assessments for autism and adhd loves it, he has come on so much and is improving constantly and it's because of this nursery. They are so accommodating to all children's needs, I'll be sad when I no longer have any children here

Our daughter has been attending Kings Worthy Early Years for a year now, and we couldn't be happier with the level of care she's received. The team work so hard to create a fun, engaging and educational environment for the children. Our daughter genuinely wakes up excited to go to pre-school, and there
are tears when it's the school holidays or her days off! The team have always been so attentive in both our child's needs but also ours, keeping us in the loop with her development, and working with us to tackle certain obstacles (potty training in particular). Thank you Kings Worthy Early Years, we will be sad to leave next September!

Without a doubt this preschool is the most friendly, amazing place to send children to. My son went to a different preschool as we lived elsewhere and nothing compares to kings worthy early years centre. The staff are fab and really care for the children, they take into consideration the children's
feelings and also what interests them best! My daughter loves attending here, she's always excited to go to preschool. She has an amazing bond with ALL staff, not just one. I can't thank them enough for everything they do.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has had a fantastic time at Kings Worthy Early Years Centre so far having just started in September. The staff are fantastic and our daughter has developed a real bond with her key worker which is lovely to see as she has always been very shy around adults outside of family. The outdoor
facilities are really what makes the nursery stand out for us. Every Monday the children are taken on a woodland walk to the adjacent primary school where they have an outdoor classroom, veg patches and beautiful woodland which is amazing. We get brilliant regular updates on the app with photos from the woodland walk and other activities the children have been up to. It is a relatively small nursery which for us is a real plus as you really feel like they get to know individual children so well really focus on their interests and individual development. Being adjacent to the primary school is also fantastic in terms of transition to Year R. Overall Brilliant nursery.

We absolutely love this nursery! The staff are so warm and welcoming - they really get to know each child and make them feel special. There's a brilliant mix of activities every day, from messy play and crafts to outdoor adventures and even baking. Our child comes home full of stories and smiles! The
outdoor space is fantastic, and they're out in all weathers, which we love. The food is amazing too - fresh, healthy, and varied. Our child has become so much more confident with trying new things. Communication is great, with regular updates and photos that help us feel connected. It's a nurturing, fun and safe environment where our child is thriving - we couldn't be happier!

Our daughter attended HEYC from 9 months all the way to when she left for the school. She's always been happy going in, and made lots of friends with both the children and the staff.
I firmly believe that her experience at the Centre has contributed enormously to her becoming the confident, sociable
girl that she is. She has taken to "big school" like a duck to water as a result.
I couldnt recommend HEYC more highly - our second is already down to go when he is older!

Great nursery, my daughter has high emotional needs and although she struggled at the start, the support given to her, and reassurance to me was brilliant. She's always got a smile on her face going into nursery now. All of the staff are fantastic and I love that the nursery focus on nature and outdoors
