Day Nurseries Owned by Nursery Village

I was so worried about sending my little boy to nursery and leaving him for long period/a few days a week, but they have been amazing with him! His speech has come on incredibly, he has learnt so much, and the environment is great for him. The staff are so lovely and great with him - they adore the children!

My son has attended Lydstep for almost three years and I've been really happy with his time there throughout, both in terms of how the staff has encouraged his development, as well as his having enjoyed it and made friends. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone with a young child seeking nursery provision.

We have been using this nursery for our daughter since it opened back when she was one years old. We have had a outstanding experience in all 3 rooms. All the staff are so welcoming, friendly and always so good in their communication and ready to help with anything, and ready to answer any questions. We actually considered a nursery that is closer to us, but turned it down due to how accommodating and lovely this nursery is. Very sad for her to start school and have to leave this place. Highly recommend.

We, as parents are really satisfied with Lydstep Nursery. Our daughter attends here, started last year as a baby and now in the toddler room and she 99% of the times gets excited in the morning when we get ready and goes through the door with a big smile. All the staff throughout the rooms are very friendly and caring and we couldn't be more grateful for them to help our daughter thrive and keep her excited about nursery with all the fun activities.

The staff at the nursery are wonderful, committed and attentive to the needs of the little ones. We enjoy the regular updates from our child's key worker about our their development. The nursery is well equipped with indoor and outdoor spaces, and our little one thoroughly enjoys it. It has been great to see our child's development since they've started nursery.

My daughter's been at the nursery now since she turned 2 years and 4 months - currently 4 years and 2 months - she has loved every second of being at Quays Nursery. Her development has come along in leaps and bounds and her curious nature has grown even bigger. She adores the staff members who make each day just as exciting as the last for her. Alongside that the staff have been amazing with communication, support and reassurance as a parent. The overall experience has been fantastic.

We wholeheartedly recommend nursery - a wonderful start to any child's educational journey

The staff are lovely, and we are always greeted with a warm welcome. Both our children have built positive relationships with the staff, and smile when we mention them outside the nursery setting. They have a great indoor and outdoor space. The nursery staff have been very supportive. We also like the extra events that they hold for families to attend.

Highly recommend this nursery. They are really flexible for how and when you use the government funded hours. All the staff are wonderful. My son struggled a bit with the transition to nursery aged 20 months and they were fantastic at helping him settle in and now he loves it. Lovely space and great activities. I can't believe it's not oversubscribed, it won't stay this way for long.

Quays Park has been a fantastic setting for our daughter for the past two years. She enjoys the relationships with the adults and other children and takes part in engaging activities indoors and outdoors. Our child has gone from nervously entering nursery in the first few weeks to running in without giving us a second glance. We've always had confidence in the staff and they keep us well informed of her development.

Could not recommend North Street Nursery more! The staff are so friendly, welcoming and really spend time getting to know the children & focusing on their interests. My daughter loves nursery & has built great relationships with the other children and the staff whilst she has been there :)

Being a first time mom Nursery was a very scary leap. North street Nursery has helped the leap seem more like a step. Their care and activities have been fantastic and a pivitol role in my sons Development.

The only real thing where they could improve is the absence of natural daylight in the babies room. But they go out from time to time and tons of activities

My child started in April and I couldn't be more happy with the nursery and staff, who are approachable, accommodating and super responsive.

My child loves going in which makes me happy too. I like that they do Stay and Play sessions for the care givers throughout the year and they are great at updating the app so you can see what they've been up to.

My son has settled very well into North Street Nursery, and I've found the process very seamless thanks to the staff. I love that they do outings everyday to the park (weather permitting), and I enjoy seeing the photos of my child out and about. There's good communication from management and I've found the app extremely useful as one point of contact/information.

Nothing but good experiences after 6 months at North St Nursery. The staff are great, treating our daughter brilliantly and always supporting and attentive to her needs. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nursery in the Bedminster / Southville area of Bristol.

My older child has recently finished at North Street and moved onto school. He had a wonderful time there and most days in pre-school it was difficult to persuade him to come home! The pre-school did an amazing job of preparing him for school and he has been confident at school from day 1. My youngest is now in the baby room and is thriving there. The staff always give detailed handover information and it's lovely to see the observations of what they've been up to during the day along with information about their development.

I would not recommend Lydstep nursery despite my daughter attending for nearly 2 years. Staff turnover was extremely high, with heavy reliance on agency staff. Although a cap on agency numbers was eventually introduced, this still took a real toll on existing staff and seemed to drive many to leave. New staff were rarely introduced, so parents often arrived to a room of unfamiliar faces. Communication was consistently poor, especially when our baby's place-secured over a year in advance-was cancelled with only 2 months' notice due to staff shortages, forcing us to find new places for both children which with local wait lists being well over a year was a nightmare. Outdoor space was poor, we were told that regular almost daily visits to the park would happen but in reality were very rare. While the majority of the staff working with the children were kind and caring, management and admin was disorganised, the toddler room often felt chaotic, and overall the nursery was very poorly run.

I would highly recommend.

My son really loves going there but for the eye-watering prices and constant cost increases, I would have expected a better service.
