Day Nurseries Owned by Nursery Village in Bristol

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, 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.

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.

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

We are blown away by the level of care that our daughter receives at North Street Nursery. From the very beginning, you have all been very professional, so understanding of her additional needs and so friendly and informative to us as her parents. Dropping her off at nursery for the first time in January was a very big (and scary!) deal for us, but you made the transition as easy as possible and kept us informed of any issues or questions you had, to which we are very grateful. Seeing her grow and develop both physically and mentally under your care and, above all, really enjoy her time at nursery has been so special for us as a family. Her key worker has been outstanding since day one, we honestly couldn’t be happier with her level of care. The same goes for all other staff members taking on her additional needs with such positivity and enthusiasm. So, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for all you do for our daughter and for playing such a positive role in her life.

It is not easy to juggle supervising multiple tiny people and being energetic and upbeat all the time. Myself and my child's dad greatly appreciate the work you put in on a daily basis to feed/re-dress and entertain her whilst she learns about the world around her. You guys are all very patient and kind with our wee child and she loves going in to see her friends!

We really like and appreciate all the staff, and even though it took our little one a couple of weeks to settle, we knew he was having lots of cuddles. He's now so content at nursery and every time I pick him up he seems so happy playing. The staff are brilliant and you can really tell when he comes home how much he has learnt. We love the app so we can see what has happened in his day, as well as receive updates and pictures.

Such an amazing environment with really friendly and knowledgeable staff. My little one is currently in preschool at Lydstep and the key workers are amazing at planning and setting up activities for him to learn through play and through trial and error. They also learn about the different cultures through activities and books which I think is very important in this day and age. The team also make sure that preschoolers learn to be independent in readiness for school. I am blown away by the skills my little one has grasped and mastered since starting at Lydstep. I would definitely recommend this nursery to all parents!

Both my boys attend Lydstep and they both absolutely love it. The nursery rooms are beautifully spacious for lots of activities. The staff are so friendly and always able to help. Would highly recommend it.

Lovely nursery with caring and supportive staff. My child didn't have any issues settling and goes in with a smile. The outside space is limited due to its inner city location but they have done what they can with the space available. Recent changes to the split in the Bakery room have been great. Well done North Street Nursery.

We have been so impressed with the communication and dedication of the team at Lydstep. Their use of the app to keep parents and carers informed of the children’s day is exemplary - friends with children in other settings don’t get anything like the detail we do. Our daughter has some additional medicine needed during the day which is administered without issue. The care and attention shown to the children are lovely to witness and reassure us that our little one is having a great day.

Overall, we are really happy with NSN and would recommend to any prospective parents looking for a new nursery.

The park is in front of the building and because of the tall trees, in the summer you can be in the park because you have nice shade to run from the sun. About the food I cannot say much as my son only eats snacks, rarely food from them as we are not British and he is also picky with textures. I am happy I will have him here this year. Thank you.
