We really appreciated the excellent communication with parents and the support our family received throughout his time at the nursery. As a family who moved to the UK from Ukraine, this kindness and understanding meant a great deal to us. Our son has grown in confidence, made lovely friendships, and developed many new skills thanks to the encouragement and patience of the team. We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to all the staff for everything they have done for our family. We highly recommend this nursery to other parents.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. We are truly honoured to have been part of your family's journey and are delighted to hear that your son has had such a positive experience with us. Creating a warm, welcoming and inclusive environment where every child and family feels supported is at...
My son has only been at the nursery for a month but his speech has come on phenomenally and the nursery has definitely aided to that massively. His imagination and creativity as well as his motor skills has also improved. The nursery have encouraged my child to eat new foods he wouldn't usually such as oranges. Absolute amazing staff they are all so kind and brilliant at keeping me up to date with what my child is up to at school.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear how much progress your son has made in such a short time with us. Supporting children's speech, creativity, imagination and confidence is such an important part of their early years journey, and it is fantastic to know you have...
My child has been attending Ashbourne for maybe 2 months now, the difference in my child from before he started to now is amazing, and that is down to the nursery and all the development and learning they have done with him. They involve us in everything and update us whilst he is at his sessions. I can't comment much on the food as he doesn't eat much there (through no fault of theirs) I'd highly recommend this nursery to anyone; the quiet, friendly, homely environment is why we chose it.
Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback. We are delighted to hear how much progress your child has made since joining us and that you have noticed such a positive difference in their development. Building strong partnerships with families is incredibly important to us, so...
We couldn't be happier with our experience at Ashbourne Day Nurseries Grantham. From the very first day, the staff have been incredibly welcoming, caring, and attentive-not just to the children, but to the parents as well. It's clear that the team truly loves what they do.
The environment is bright, safe, and engaging, with plenty of age-appropriate toys, learning materials, and outdoor playtime.Communication is excellent-we're always kept up to date with what our child has been doing each day, and any questions or concerns are responded to quickly and thoughtfully.
We feel very lucky to have found such a nurturing and supportive place. Thank you to all the wonderful staff at Ashbourne Day Nurseries Grantham for the love and care you give every day. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a safe and happy space for their little one!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're thrilled to hear that your child has settled in so well and that our team's care, attention, and communication have made a positive difference for your family. It's fantastic to know that you feel supported and happy with your experience, and we truly appreciate your recommendation.
Very happy with my son's nursery choice so far. They made lots of effort to settle him in and make sure he was ok before I returned to work during my maternity leave. All questions are always answered and they try their best to accommodate my son's routine so he's almost home from home! He's bonded very well with the staff and always seems happy. I receive regular updates throughout the day so I know everything that's happening. All the staff are kind, welcoming and put you at ease. Thank you all for looking after my boy :)
Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased to hear that your son has settled in well and feels happy and comfortable with us. It's wonderful to know that our team's care, communication, and attention to his routine have helped make the transition smoother for you both. We truly appreciate your kind words and trust in us to look after him.
100% recommend Ashbourne Day Nursery - Grantham. My little girl has been with them since she was 6 months old. Watching her develop and grow as a person since being with this nursery is unbelievable. Staff are very supportive and accommodating especially as my daughter was in a hip spica cast from 3-6 months.
Thank you for your wonderful review and recommendation. We're so pleased to hear how much your little girl has grown and thrived since joining us. It means a lot to know that our team's care and support made a positive difference, especially during her time in the hip spica cast. We truly value your trust and kind words.
My son was in attendance here for one day a week. but they kept sending him home. First for being understaffed, then it was too hot/understaffed. The final straw was receiving a phone call and being told my son might have 'ringworm or foot and mouth'. They were a couple insect bites, i knew he had them and sent him anyway cause it was obvious they were nothing. i took him doctors after to be safe and the doctor agreed with me. Just insect bites. After all that, i just wanted him in a nursery where he isn't sent home all the time. so i asked he be removed and we be refunded the 2 and a half days he missed. i was told this had been accepted. Problem is they say my refund is £61. i was charged £46 per day. 46 x 2.5 does not equal 61.
We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration. The safety and wellbeing of the children in our care is always our top priority, and our team follows strict safeguarding and health procedures to ensure the highest standards for all children and staff. We apologise again for the experience you had and truly appreciate your feedback.
Ashbourne Day Nursery has been wonderful not only with my son but with myself. Coming of maternity and coming into a full time job and trying to figure out hours and days that work best with nursery and myself they have put me to ease. They have gone above and beyond to help fit everything into place , I can not thank them enough. They always make me feel at ease with any questions I have and seem to have bonded with my son. Another lady was amazing with him to. Another lady who is new who I have not met seems to be blending in well with the nursery and I can only imagine will also make my son feel at ease. They provide messy play, outdoor play and indoor activity's. They even got an extra cucumber on the shopping list as she knows it's my sons favourite :) can not recommend them enough l!!!
Thank you for such a lovely and thoughtful review. It is great to hear how supported you have felt during such a big transition and how much care the team have shown in helping everything fall into place. We are so pleased your son is happy and settled, and those little touches like adding cucumber...
