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

My son has come on leaps and bounds since he started attending Spring, he has grown in confidence and they have really helped him with his speech and counting. They treat my daughter as if she was one of the children that attends, she is now starting in September because she loves it here so much. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough they are everything you want for your child in an environment that isn’t home.

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

Thank you for your lovely feedback! We are glad you noticed an improvement in your child's speech and counting and we can't wait for your little one to start with us in September!

Review from L C (Mother of Child) published on 12 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our child has been attending Spring Seesaw for just over a year now. When she first joined, they really worked with her to help her feel safe and secure. She's since moved up into the next age room and is really thriving. She gets to do a range of activities, including cooking, reading, drawing and playing. She has opportunities to learn through song, which she loves, and is excited by Forest School and the outside space available. The food is great, it seems nutritionally balanced and offers great variety. The staff are amazing, caring and compassionate. We really struggled when choosing a nursery as it's such a big decision, but we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Spring Seesaw to others.

Overall Experience
All of the staff are extremely welcoming and full of enthusiasm at Spring Nursery Seesaw. My child has been attending the nursery since January 2023 and has flourished since joining. The communication between the setting and parents is fabulous, and I cannot fault their care. The staff members continuously go above and beyond to make sure our little ones have the best start to their early years.
I have never known a nursery to incorporate so many fun, beneficial and educational activities into the nursery day!

Thank you, Spring Nursery Seesaw!

Review from Holly C (Mother of Child) published on 25 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I couldn't be any happier with the nursery and the team. My son started at the nursery when he was nine months old, and the care he has received has been amazing. I feel at ease leaving my son with all the staff, and they treat him like family. As a full-time working parent, I felt guilty about not having as much time with him, but he absolutely loves nursery and, developmentally, has come on so much. I'll always be grateful to the baby team for all they do for him!

Thank you for your lovely feedback, and we're so glad your son is receiving such high care and you are happy with our provision!

Review from T H (Mother of Child) published on 6 December 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter came across from another setting about a year ago, and we are so glad she did.
From the very first email, everything has been easy.
The communication is excellent.
The care these guys provide is excellent too.
We love hearing about what she has got up to during the day.
It's a huge thing to leave your child within the care of someone else, and to know she is safe, being cared for and stimulated properly eases those worries.

But above all else, my daughter is genuinely happy to be there!

Overall Experience

I am absolutely thrilled with this nursery. I am a first-time mother, and putting my baby in the care of anyone else is worrying. Every single staff member made sure my little one and I were comfortable and happy. We've always recieved updates via the app to keep my mind at ease. My daughter has been going here since the beginning of September when they opened their baby room, and she loves attending and loves all the staff members. I can not fault anything and am really pleased with my decision of sending her here.

Review from Lorena G (Mother of Child) published on 21 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Spring Seesaw for over two years now. She absolutely adores going to the nursery every day. I can't thank enough the staff for always being so friendly, caring and helpful. Every week they plan new great activities and themes for the kids to learn and interact with, which makes them grow independently. My daughter loves it! The communication with parents is excellent. The app is regularly updated every day, including feeding times, activities on the day and focus observations in your child, also a briefing about your child at picking-up times. Food is freshly cooked every day, and the menu is healthy. Great indoor and outdoor space. We could not be any happier with the entire team. Highly recommended! Thank you very much for your hard work and effort!

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

This nursery is fantastic. I moved my son here from another nursery which we had lots of problems with, but since being at Spring Seasaw, my son has come leaps and bounds! All the staff go above and beyond for the children, and I can't wait for my daughter to start in January.

The staff are so kind. My son goes into nursery and gets unsettled, and the staff are always there to calm him down etc. Absolutely love this nursery; they keep you updated on what your child has eaten and how much they have eaten, nappy changed etc, and you can also see photos and videos of the progression of your child's time at the nursery and their goals.

Review from Emily L (Mother of Child) published on 21 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both of my children have attended and still attend the nursery. Both of my children have flourished and grown amazingly with the amazing care and support the girls offer here.
I have recommended this nursery to a few of my mum friends, and they say the exact same.
My eldest now attends their after-school club, and she still comes home saying how much fun she has had.
My little boy was very anxious about being separated from myself when he started due to Covid; however, he has changed totally, and he walks in all happy and excited. He always has a wonderful day as well.

Everyone in the nursery is so supportive and helpful.

My son continues to have a fantastic time at Seesaw; he is excited to attend every week and has made great progress educationally. He has a good relationship with all staff and children and has grown in confidence, manners and self-efficiency - he is really on the right path for school, and I cannot fault their handling of the day-to-day!

Amazing place for kids. My child joined when she was 2 years old and had problems settling in at the beginning, but now she loves to go there every day. She made friends, and it's just amazing to see her happy there.

She has her favourite routines, games and plays. Staff are very supportive and understanding, especially when she needs to have her hair brushed.

Overall Experience

My little boy has been attending since May 2021, and he loves it! All the staff are so welcoming and friendly. I get updates through the day with what he has been eating etc, and occasionally get photos and a detailed description of an activity he's been taking part in. They also give me a quick update when I go to collect him at the end of his day. He recently had a little accident at nursery, bumping his head (no fault of the staff), but they ensured he was safe and well, and when I later emailed and asked for a deeper explanation of what happened, they didn't hesitate to call and give me a full rundown of the events and continuously checked and asked how he was following. They really try to help bring his speech along, which is now improving, and they do everything they can to encourage this! I have recommended Spring to friends and will continue to do so.
