Southlands Creche

from Donna C (Mother of Child) published on 2 April 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the moment we stepped into Southlands, we knew it was the right place for our son, and we are so glad we trusted that instinct. He's been attending for just over a year now, and all the staff are incredible. With over 100 years of combined experience, their expertise shines through in everything
they do. As a naturally anxious mum, I've never once felt uneasy leaving my son there. My son arrives with a smile and comes home happy every single time. Knowing he's spending his day somewhere he feels safe and happy is a wonderful feeling. We couldn't have asked for a better start to his early years journey.
Reply from Julie Tretheway, Nursery Owner at Southlands CrecheThank you for the glowing review. It is lovely to see your whole family arrive with a smile each day your Son is with us. It is evident how happy he is at our creche, which means the world to us x

My daughter is receiving exceptional care at Southlands. She is happy to be left in the morning and has formed strong bonds with her caregivers. The facilities are of an extremely high standard, and the activities offered are varied and stimulating. We love the fact that our daughter gets to swim regularly,
they have lots of outside play and access to a minibus which allows fantastic trips out. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

A faultless kindergarten. Both of my daughters have attended. The nursery is clean, spacious and offer a great learning experience. Activities are fantastic from swimming classes, Spanish lessons, dancing to name a few. All staff are kind, caring, friendly and go above and beyond. Food is nutritious,
healthy and always well balanced. My daughter tries lots of new things she wouldn't at home. Wouldn't run like it does without the dedication of Julie the owner. I will be very sad when daughter leaves for school. Thank you all.
Reply from Julie Tretheway, Nursery Owner at Southlands KindergartenWe have loved having your beautiful daughters and watching them grow in confidence and become ready for school.

Southlands Creche is a small friendly, warm, welcoming nursery who go above and beyond to make the little ones day fun, educational and exciting. Each week they do a number of activities and even days out on the mini bus! We get updated with photos, newsletters, seasonal activities, fancy dress days,
food rota menus which have a large number of various meals to suit all children's dietary requirements. But overall the staff at the creche are always joyful and approachable regardless of what group they are based in they always welcome you!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My experience with Southlands nursery has been brilliant. My boys only started in January (however my previous son also attended) but I think the nursery does an excellent job at hosting sessions for them to settle in. They love going to nursery and are happy there. The food, I believe is exceptionally
good and I take comfort in knowing they are having a varied diet with lots of dishes while they are there. Their key workers clearly know them well already and adapt their approach to each of them even in this short period of time. The staff in the baby room are good at setting up different tasks and toys for them to play with.
Reply from Julie Tretheway, Nursery Owner at Southlands CrecheThank you so much for your feedback, specifically in relation to these early weeks and months as children transition from home to our nursery environment. We spend a great deal of time and thought with settling both parents and children into our settings and for new parents looking for a nursery on this site, it is a really important perspective to share. Thank you again x

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter attends the nursery at Southlands and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about her experience.
I was really apprehensive about her starting because she's a bit of a koala baby, but she happily goes in each day.
The ladies are superwoman! I have no doubt my daughter is in the
best and they generally care about her.
They serve a wide variety of foods and my daughter eat things that she wouldn't even touch at home!
Activities available are varied. They take my daughter swimming every week which is a rarity for nurseries to offer. If she's not swimming she's going out on the bus to local parks, farms, museums etc.
Thank you to everyone who works at Southlands providing such a wonderful nursery setting my children.
Reply from Julie Tretheway, Nursery Owner at Southlands CrecheThank you for sharing your experience of being supported to separate from your little "koala baby". We appreciate the level of trust that you put in our team and we are privileged to witness the positive results of the relationships built in our creche with the children, parents and families. It has been a true pleasure to share these experiences with you and thank you again for the feedback.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attends Southlands Kindy and he loves it! He's due to start school this September and I wish I could keep him there for at least another few years!
The team are amazing and look after my son so well. I am confident that they truly care about him.
The things he gets to do each day are amazing
and he particularly loves the outdoor space - the big and little garden which are utilised in all weathers. He also loves the fairly new addition of forest school where he learns so much, and is always coming home and telling us about it.
He goes swimming every other week during term time and his confidence in the water has come on so much because of this.
He has also come on so much with his writing and can now write his name with very little help. For him there seems to now be a focus on school readiness which we really appreciate.
Thank you team Southlands for everything - you're wonderful!
Reply from Julie Tretheway, Nursery Owner at Southlands KindergartenWe have loved watching your little one grow in confidence over the years. He gets such pleasure as well as learning from the activities that he accesses and he is truly ready for school. We will have the pleasure of seeing him return to collect his little Sister too! Thank you for sharing this review and taking the time.

Southlands Creche

from L B (Mother of Child) published on 25 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery provides an outstanding environment for young children, with excellent, modern, and varied facilities that support learning, play, and development. The spaces are bright, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed, with high-quality resources indoors and outdoors that encourage curiosity, creativity,
and confidence.
What truly makes Southlands special is the genuine connection staff build with the children. Every child is clearly known as an individual, and relationships are formed with warmth, patience, and care. The children feel safe, happy, and valued, which is evident in their confidence and enthusiasm.
Love and kindness are at the heart of everything Southlands does. The staff show real dedication, creating a nurturing atmosphere where children are supported emotionally as well as academically. It is a place where children truly thrive, and where parents can feel completely reassured about the care their child receives.

Both of my children have attended Southlands Nursery, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. It has truly provided them with the best possible start in life, allowing them to flourish.
The staff are absolutely amazing, providing a nurturing environment backed by a fantastic curriculum. Communication
with parents is seamless, which provides such peace of mind. What really sets this nursery apart is the rich and diverse programme; the children are frequently out in the minibus, and the inclusion of activities like swimming is a wonderful bonus.
I would highly recommend Southlands to any parent looking for a high-quality, engaging, and supportive nursery.

Southlands is absolutely amazing. My daughter left to start school this year and I honestly believe that her time at Southlands set her up so well. My son attends now and is thriving. The staff are genuinely so caring and kind, and my son loves every one of them. The curriculum is the best I have heard
of - forest school, languages, swimming, gardening, very regular trips out, and it instills such a real passion for learning in the children. I recommend Southlands's to everyone, it is a remarkable nursery.

from Aimee C (Mother of Child) published on 25 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the very beginning, the staff took the time to understand my child's individual needs and routines.
The staff are patient, kind, and genuinely invested. My sons key worker in particular has built a strong, trusting relationship with my child and keeps us regularly updated, which has been invaluable
to me.
He is very energetic and needs to constantly burn off energy, and the staff have been so understanding of this. They don't try to restrict him-instead, they work with him. One thing that has made a huge difference is that they regularly take him outside to his favourite garden area, where he can move freely and regulate himself in a way that suits him.
This level of understanding and flexibility has had such a positive impact on him.
I recommend Southlands to everybody looking for a nursery because It's clear they truly care and go the extra mile to help every child thrive.
My eldest daughter who left in September is still missing it here and asks to come back!
Reply from Julie Tretheway, Nursery Owner at Southlands KindergartenThank you for sharing that truly personal review. To be considered personalised and flexible to individual needs is what we aim for and hopefully achieve in each of our settings. The key worker relationship is invaluable and it is lovely to have that reflected in this review.

Both of my daughters have attended this nursery, and there was never any question about where I wanted my second to go. It's such a wonderful place where I feel completely secure knowing my child will thrive, be happy, learn, and be safe. All of the staff are lovely, approachable, and always take the

The activities and learning environment are exceptional, and the development of the kindergarten over the past few years has been amazing-it's clear that every improvement is designed to help the children flourish. I couldn't recommend this nursery more highly; it's such a happy, positive, and nurturing place.

Outstanding nursery in the local area. Thoughtful, experienced and caring staff. Wonderful facilities and they involve parents with excellent social events. They keep all parents fully up to date and the fact they take children out on a regular basis is amazing. In addition to this the food is brilliant,

From the moment you walk through the door, it's clear how much effort and love the team puts into creating a warm, welcoming

This nursery was an absolute top pick for myself and my partner. The atmosphere is 'home away from home', the meals are great, my little girl always eats everything (and more) and the staff are just wonderful with the children. I think all the activities and adventures the children go on are excellent
and so enriching. There is clearly a lot of time and effort that goes into the day to day running of the nursery/kindergarten. The children are always so well mannered and happy. Couldn't recommend enough.

Our little boy has thrived since joining Southlands, first in the baby room and then moving into the little group downstairs. He talks about the staff and his friends when he's at home and is clearly very well cared for as he has great relationships with all the staff and feels safe and secure. The
extra experiences he gets such as weekly swimming and regular trips out of the setting are incredible. He loves going out on the bus and being out in the community, and this enriched curriculum was a major factor for us when deciding on a nursery. The meals and snacks provided are always nutritious and balanced and he loves everything he is offered, often having extra portions! The staff show patience and care always, and we feel very secure and safe in sending our little boy to Southlands. Thankyou for everything you do, it is always noticed and appreciated.
