Cromwell Road Day Nursery and Pre-school

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending this nursery since January 2024 and I couldn't take the nursery staff enough for looking after her so well.
On the days that she doesn't attend nursery, she always looks out the window and recites the names of the children she goes to nursery with, including her carers.
She has developed so well while attending this nursery and I can say for certain that her carers are attentive about her needs.
It's really easy to communicate with the staff as well and they try to accommodate us whenever we need ad hoc sessions. I highly recommend this nursery for your little ones.

Our experience using the child care services of Cromwell Road Day Nursery has been amazing! Kind staff and a management ready to listen. During moments of concern, we have been listened to. As parents we had concerns about frequent changes in personnel, so far, there is stability which helps.

Our son joined Portslade Day Nursery this year after we moved cities. He settled in so quickly and that is all down to the amazing staff. I can't think of a single negative thing to say about the nursery. The staff are so warm and engaging and give great updates on how our child's day has been. We are
so sad that he wasn't there longer and that it is time for him to move on to school so has to leave.

I have seen many positive changes since the nursery became Cromwell Day Nursery. The freedom of the outside space used a lot more is so very welcomed. The information shared on the parent platford is a lot more detailed and means whoever picks up doesn't need to remember it all. Staff positivity radiants

Lovely nursery and amazing staff. Always very friendly, one of my children has grown very attached to his key worker and she always makes time for him and reassures him whenever he goes. My other child always runs up to his key worker and gives her cuddles. I've been sending my children to this nursery

My son has attended Portslade Day Nursery for a year, they have been very understanding and patient with my son and his additional needs. They have great resources and an excellent management team. The food they supply is very nutritional and covers a whole range of dietary needs. The nursery itself
is clean, tidy and organised and they have a lovely little area for your child's coats and bags. I highly recommend this nursery for parents, they have an amazing play area outside and lots of different toys inside including a home corner and sand table which my son loves. The staff here are absolutely amazing, they have a good staff-to-children ratio and everyone gets included in the activities and taught to socialise and make friends. Another thing I liked about this nursery is not only do they support the children they support the parents too which is not a quality you get at a lot of nurseries.

Amazing nursery, my son has recently started here as we have just moved back to the area and he loves coming here in the morning, there's always something fun for them to do and he is always bringing me drawings home which I love. From football coaches attending to all the activities indoors too, he
does love it, along with the girls upstairs, especially one member of staff in particular.

Overall good experience. My son enjoys the nursery, the staff and his friends. I loved the fact that they always made their own play dough and learned by doing. The nursery had a tank with a tadpole that the kids observed grow into a frog. They also grew their own vegetables and learned all about plants.
Every Monday the kids had a PR session which my son loved. The reason for 4 stars is that there were never any outings and some of the staff sometimes appeared moody. Also, the app the nursery uses is outdated and the policy the nursery uses doesn't allow for timely updates (I have been receiving updates on my son's progress 3 months in the rear)

We came across Footsteps in October 2023 after the nursery that we originally enrolled in closed without notice after 4 short weeks. Right from the start the staff at Footsteps were so helpful and supportive in getting our little girl settled in. The manager and the team in preschool study foster learning
in a way that is all about them having fun and our daughter just loves going there, she comes home every day full of stories about what she has been up to and on pick up she often refuses to leave until she has finished taking part in the activity she is engaged in. We genuinely couldn’t ask for a better environment or nicer people for our daughter to spend her days with.

Everyday I bring my great-niece to Footsteps it is always clean and tidy. And always a happy and welcoming staff member opens the doors for us. They are very caring and because I am of the older generation. They always take my great-niece up the stairs and bring her down the stairs for me. Which I am
very grateful for. Every staff member brings her to us when we come to collect her. They always tell us how her day has been, and what she has eaten when she had her last nappy change. You can always hear children playing happily. occasionally you can hear a little one crying, but then there is always the soft voice of a staff member comforting them. My great-niece has developed nicely since she has attended here. She is coming out with a lot more words, she is happy to come here and goes in happily most days. I would highly recommend this day nursery to anyone looking for a place for their little ones. You can be sure they will be in good hands.

Both of my children have attended this nursery.
One 10 years ago and my youngest currently.
I really love the warmth and kindness the staff show towards my son. I always have a little chat with them and they are always welcoming.
My son literally runs in, he is so happy to go to nursery which is
so reassuring for me when I have to work.
I want to mention a special shout-out to the staff I've come into contact with -
the manager, four members of staff in particular and others. There's a younger man on Butterflies who is very sweet too.
