Review from Freya G (Mother of Child) published on 17 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been going here for 18 months, she absolutely adores everyone in the nursery and cannot believe how much she has learnt since being there. She came from another setting and within 3 months was spelling her name, and learning to write it. The whole nursery staff are extremely understanding and welcoming, so much so my son is starting this year too and I put my full trust into them.

Reply from Sarah Clarke, Operations Manager at Spring Nursery Seesaw Lancaster Way

Thank you so much for your lovely review and kind words! We are so excited for your son to start with us!

Overall Experience

Spring Nursery Seesaw is an amazing nursery. Both of my children have been through the rooms. The staff are wonderful with the kids and parents. I felt safe knowing it is like a home away from home. They are loving and caring and well looked after. The communication is fantastic, and the food is healthy and exciting for the kids. They have a lovely room, garden and forest school to play in. The children have wonderful, engaging activities every day. Their SEN support is first class. I wouldn't choose to go anywhere else.

Review from Elle R (Mother of Child) published on 11 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

All the staff at Spring Nursery are so welcoming, very professional and caring. Since the day my Son ( 2 in June) started the nursery he has developed and grown so much all thanks to the baby room staff. They are always keeping the children occupied with fun activities, indoor and outdoor play, inviting parents to family sessions they can not do enough for the families attending the setting.

The staff keep me up to date throughout the day with what my son is doing all day through the app this is great as while I'm working I can check on him and see how much he has eaten, when he is napping etc.

Thank you to all you lovely staff! You are truly amazing!

Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery with great Senco support. Very friendly staff and lots to do for the children. My son loves it here after leaving his other nursery which, to be honest, I should have done sooner. This is the best nursery I have found in the area. I have 4 children so we tried a few nurseries. The rooms are big and kept clean. Good food choices made fresh and yummy. Staff lovely. Water play, painting a lovely garden. Honestly, I only have good things to say. A very happy environment with fantastic staff for the little ones. Always welcomed with smiles. A nursery that makes us feel like family!

Really experienced and educated staff. Very friendly, welcoming and approachable. Lovely setup and really pleased with how my daughter was supported to settle into nursery. She absolutely loves her time there. The children seem calm, happy and engaged, lovely atmosphere. My daughter stays for lunch and is offered a variety of healthy, hot-cooked meals and is making so much progress with trying new foods.

Spring Seesaw is a brilliant nursery. My daughter has attended in the past and the experience was amazing. Her English has improved in no time, staff very supportive and management too. My son has been attending the nursery for couple years now and with the support of all the team. He has really 'come out of his shell', behaviour and communication. We are really grateful to all the team for everything they did and do. Keep up the great job.

We enrolled our child in September 2023, her cognitive skills and confidence have really developed since attending. Full credit to the staffing team.

The staff are attentive and most importantly warm, I see they have really bonded with my child and upon collections, you see/feel their commitment to parental inclusion. A great nursery!

Review from Susannah D (Mother of Child) published on 2 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Really love this setting. We use the nursery for after-school club and it’s so helpful. They are flexible which is a great help when working shifts and needing different days or last-minute dates. The setting. Lovely, with lots of space inside and out. Lovely garden areas and new areas just built. It’s easy to access and right next to the primary school which is really helpful.
Communication is great, easy to contact someone and the nursery is always communicating with updates, info, events and advice.

Would definitely recommend and if I had another baby would use this place for sure!

It’s an amazing nursery, so lovely with lots of space and a lovely garden. The staff are so great with the children - will always keep you up to date with how their day went. Updates on the app are super quick about what they’ve eaten/when they’ve eaten. My son was upset on his first day & when I left he cried, by the time I walked home (4 minutes) I already had a message on the app & a picture to inform me he had settled. Cannot fault them.

Review from Grace L (Mother of Child) published on 2 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son absolutely loves coming into the nursery. He runs in so happy and every single member of staff says good morning to him and knows all of the children’s names which makes the experience so personable. Before attending my child had a speech delay and since attending he has learnt so much and his speech has really improved. The staff are exceptional and really understand my child’s specific needs. They go above and beyond to make sure they understand what he likes. My son coming to the nursery has made such a difference in his development and learning. He has grown a really close bond with the staff and looks forward to the days he’s in the nursery.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been coming to you for over a year, she first started in the baby room. I loved every minute I walked through the doors every staff are lovely and very helpful if you need to talk to them about something. My daughter is now in the next room and during her settling days, they made sure she was comfortable and enjoying herself. She now comes to nursery ready to go and no more crying when she first started. I'm very pleased with the nursery and I'm very happy with the support and staff we have from there.
