Southlands Creche

from Amy C (Mother of Child) published on 14 July 2025
Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Southlands Nursery is by far the best Nursery around! My daughter has attended for the last 12 months from the baby room, to the little group and now the big group! She will continue onto Kindergarten too! I feel very happy and safe to leave my little girl in their care. The staff are extremely professional,
kind and caring towards all the children. My daughter is learning so much and loves going each and every day. I will always recommend Southlands over and over again!

Absolutely amazing all staff are very friendly, approachable, informative and supportive. Our little boy has come on leaps and bounds since being at the nursery.
They take the children out daily for walks, weekly swimming sessions and other activities.
The learning activities on site are second to
none.
Couldn't wish for a better environment or a better group of people to look after our child.

A Truly Special Nursery -
This nursery has a warm, homely environment where children are encouraged to thrive. The staff are nurturing and attentive and the chef menu provides a wide range of exposure to different textures and flavours.
What makes it unique are the endless excursions that offer incredible
hands-on learning. The setting is beautiful, calm, and thoughtfully designed with seasonal themes and topics.
We feel so lucky to have secured a place here - there's no other nursery like it!

I was unsure which nursery to choose from to begin with but had heard so many good things about southlands and with it been local I enquired and I'm so glad I did!
My son started at the Creche in Sept 2024 and has come on leaps and bounds since!
The staff are lovely and they do so much with them
from days out to swimming and plenty of activities. I am so pleased made the decision and will be keeping my son there who will be going up to the kindergarten in September.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot thank everyone at Southlands Crèche enough! I was very anxious about moving my daughter to a new nursery when we moved house, however I should not have worried!!! The activities my little girl does at nursery are outstanding! She goes swimming, out to museums, to parks and on local walks. She
goes out nearly every day she's at nursery which is huge for her development. Whenever they aren't out, she is engaging in a wide range of activities, including play dough, puzzles, storybooks, painting. I feel the practitioners know my little girl inside out as what they explain to me at pick up is exactly how she is at home (which shows how comfortable she is at nursery). The communication from the nursery is fab and they engage the whole family in the child's journey. I really feel a part of the Southlands family and I feel comfortable and confident dropping my little girl off there in the mornings.

As my first child reached nursery age, I had no real idea of what to look for when it came to selecting a nursery.
Having read various reviews and received numerous accounts of positive feedback, Southlands was always going to be our first choice - and we are so glad we made that decision.
Everything
about Southlands Nursery is first class, from the facilities, staff, food, events and activities, I would recommend Southlands to anyone.

We couldn't be happier with Southlands. Both of our children have attended this nursery and the lovely staff and atmosphere have made us feel so at ease when leaving them in their care. Seeing how happy they are there just shows what a lovely setting the nursery is and an amazing group of staff. They
do lots of activities and have a great balance of play and learning.

We couldn't have asked for a better start to our nursery journey for our son.
Our son started at Southlands in November last year. The staff have gone above and beyond to help our son settle in and made us all feel welcome.
The crèche manager has been absolutely wonderful and so approachable. All
the staff are warm and professional and clearly love working where they do.
The children have the most wonderful opportunities which are shared on the app.
Before our son started at Southlands's we were concerned about how little he seemed to want to eat. This has completely changed since he has started nursery and we look forward to reading what fabulous meals he is given each day.
My partner and I are so grateful to all the wonderful staff at Southlands and we would highly recommend this nursery.

Southlands is such a lovely family orientated childcare setting. It is a home from home for all the children. The ladies are all great and my daughter really enjoys herself. Soutjlands goes above and beyond to entertain and look after the children taking then on day trips, swimming walks and the children
spend endless amount of time in the lovely garden.

My daughter has been at Southlands Kindergarten for almost a year, I can thank the manager, the team and her key worker enough for there hard work and dedication. My daughter has flourished and is very confident and happy. The staff have been so supportive when we have encountered issues with her sleep,
brushing her teeth and when her baby sister arrived. It is the norm for the staff to go above and beyond, even taking the children on trips right before Christmas. My daughter is making good progress in all areas of the curriculum.

I cannot praise Southlands and all of the lovely staff enough. They go above and beyond for every child, and the parents too! Every morning I see the children greeted with such kindest and they all leave beaming after a day filled with fun activities!
The ladies have given their all to my Son and
I could not be more grateful. He has had such wonderful experiences, which has had such a positive impact on his overall development.
I was struggling to find the right nursery for my child, but as soon as I visited Southlands I just knew it was the perfect place - if only he could stay with Southlands until he was 18!
Keep doing what you do Southlands, you are just brilliant!

Amazing nursery! My daughter loves attending! Brilliant staff, activities and facilities. The children eat very well. They take the children on lovely day trips. They organised an extra special day out close to the Christmas period, even though it wasn't my daughters scheduled day to attend, they arranged
for her to attend with the other children so she didn't miss out. I will be very sad when my daughter reaches school age & has to leave. I would highly recommend this nursery! A big thank you to all the staff.

Our daughter loves her time at the nursery and that's all thanks to the hardworking staff. They keep us informed about any concerns they have for example if they think your child is unwell. There is good communication and I have never felt that I cannot ring if I have been worried about leaving my little
