Our daughter is in the pre-school room. The staff are fabulous - supportive, creative, enthusiastic and as proud of our daughter's progress and development as we are. Dietary requirements are considered and the food is great. We love hearing about all the different activities and seeing pictures and
write ups on the app which gives us great insight into what our daughter gets up to. We are grateful for the environment the team create which our daughter is excited to go into each day.

The Early Years Academy Loughborough

from J P (Mother of Child) published on 17 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is fantastic! My son has developed into such a clever little boy. He comes home happy and smiling, sometimes not wanting to leave. He will put his arms out to every team member and never hesitates going in.
He is very chatty and sociable outside of nursery and I know these are the skills
that they have helped to develop.
When he is communicating at home he will use his sign language alongside his words.
We are thrilled with the nursery and can not wait to see how our son continues to grow with them :)

Ive had a very positive experiance with this nursery. The staff are very nice and the children are very well looked after. They communicate with parents/guardians openly and they also listen to what we have to say and take what we say on board. The environment has had very positive effects on my nephew
and he looks forward to going.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We absolutely love the early years academy. The staff go out of their way to ensure the children are always stretching their imaginations and learning new things in positive environments. The tipi is just amazing! As are the other opportunities such as the forest trips and intergenerational visits.
The staff are warm and friendly to both children and parents. The educational model is professional and reliable with regular updates on progress and focus weeks with pictures to help parents understand the little things that matter and happen day to day that help our children grow and learn. We love the nursery. Fab job everyone! :)

We have 3 children attending the same pre-school setting and we could not have asked for more from the team at EYA. Our children have thrived in the environment. They are excited every day to attend and are being equipped with all they need to start school in September. The EYA are a skilled, compassionate,
caring, wonderful and truly passionate team.

The Early Years Academy Derby

from A V (Mother of Child) published on 9 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child started at EYA at the New Year, she has settled so wonderfully in the baby room and every staff member I have spoken to has been amazing towards myself and my child. Despite only being there just under a couple of months, my daughter has thrived and gets so excited when we arrive into the car
park before we go in. Choosing EYA has really put my mind at ease with returning to work knowing she is in a safe environment surrounded by lovely and knowledgeable people who genuinely care.
Communication has been great from the get go, especially during an episode of illness that my daughter had. Nothing is too much trouble.
Thank you so much EYA.

We have been so pleased with our choice of nursery. All the staff are welcoming and friendly and so supportive to both us as parents and to our little one.

Shrewsbury Prepatoria Ltd

from Francesca W (Mother of Child) published on 24 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our eldest has been attending the Shrewsbury Prepatoria since he was 10 months old and has been in all three settings - the Baby Room, Toddlers and now the Foundation Unit. In every setting we have had a wonderful and positive experience. Our son has flourished there. The Reggio approach was a definite
draw and you can see how it is woven into the fabric of daily nursery life for our children. The teachers and staff are caring, nurturing and inspire our children, supporting their interests and creating thoughtful and educational experiences for their young minds. Recent examples include a s'mores around a little fire pit, Gus the guinea pig's visit to Toddlers and some eggs that hatched into ducklings - two of whom went onto live with a child's family.


Our twins have just finished their settling sessions and are about to join in January. It was a no-brainer where they would attend and it's lovely the staff turnover isn't high so there are familiar faces in the Baby Room.

The Early Years Nursery has been AMAZING for my daughter and son! The staff go above and beyond for the children. They respond with enquiries very quickly. I cant Thank the staff enough as my daughter always comes home telling me about her brilliant day and with a fresh Elsa Plait in her hair. My Son
has gone from crying going in to now giggling with laughter when I drop him off. Very Thankful and will be very sad when we have to leave.

My twin girls have been attending this nursery for a few months now, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The staff are consistently warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. It's clear that everyone there is passionate about what they do, and it shows in the way they interact with the
children.
The girls have settled in, and it's been wonderful to see how confident they are. The environment is nurturing, well-organised, and full of fun and learning opportunities. Communication is always excellent, and I feel fully informed and reassured about their day-to-day experiences.
I'm incredibly grateful for the level of care and dedication shown by the whole team. Knowing my girls are safe, supported, and enjoying themselves gives me so much peace of mind.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The best nursery in Stone! I couldn't recommend this place enough. My son, Freddie, has been looked after by the amazing staff at EYA since September 2024. He has flourished, grown & learnt so much in the last year. The girls who work in each room are absolute angels and are a credit to him.
His development
and speech has come on so much since being in the pre school room.
I believe that they treat every child like their own.. you can see that they generally care for your child like you do.
Very happy with the nursery overall. Freddie is always clean, happy and well fed every single day.

My daughter has attended The Early Years Academy since she was 8 months old and has transitioned through all of the rooms in her time there.
Each room has offered exceptional care and well though out activities to enhance her learning. Shes always loved going in in the morning, welcomed by caring and
dedicated staff. Seeing her build relationships with those members of staff and her peers has been lovely.

We have had the most wonderful experience with our nursery, all of the staff throughout my son's time there have been incredible. They are all so caring and helpful and my son comes home happy and telling me all about his day and how much he loves his teachers and also the friends he has made there.
I genuinely feel so comfortable knowing he is so well taken care of and it has such a beautiful outdoor spa space where the children can play.

All three of my children have been through the nursery, although two left before it became the early years academy, and they have all had a wonderful time. My youngest child is still attending and has a good relationship with the staff, she seems to be thoroughly enjoying her time at nursery, and is
learning a lot too. We get good information sharing from staff at collection and also via the app which is excellent. The staff and manager are approachable and helpful, and genuinely care about making sure the children thrive in their care! They have just updated the menu which sounds healthy and delicious, are doing additional training to support staff to deliver proper forest school sessions and are helping kids enjoy being outside with allotments as well.

My little boy started at the Early Years Ibstock in May 2025 and it was the best decision putting him with this nursery. All the staff are really good with him and we appreciate you all! We have noticed a lot of improvement with his social skills, physical skills and intellectual skills and a lot of
that is down to support from the EYA.

We cannot say more positive things about our experience here. We were first interested due to the Reggio emilia approach and we are so pleased to have discovered this treasure.


The staff are so kind, the environment is so nurturing and we've noticed our shy little Amaia transform into such a confident

little girl since attending.


We truly wish the school was still operating but will have to make do with her being here until reception somewhere else.


They've even been so accommodating to her vegan lifestyle. Truly such an incredible place!
