Review from Amanda W (Mother of Child) published on 20 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son goes to the afterschool club, and he really enjoys it. Even though he is nine, they still have a lot of activities to do. The staff are amazing, as they are so involved, and they sit down with my son when he is upset and listen to him. I always recommend the nursery 100% because they are always there when we need them. Amazing job.

Overall Experience
Fantastic nursery and staff. My little girl loves going to nursery and is very sad about leaving but excited for school.
The manager and all the nursery girls have prepared my daughter for school and helped develop her skills.

They always take an interest in what she liked, making her a keen learner.

Overall Experience
Excellent place for a child to learn in the early years. They cover extensive subjects for the children to be aware of.

They are taught everything they need to know to venture into the next step of childhood at school.

Review from Stacie F (Mother of Child) published on 19 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Where to start - this nursery has lovely, lovely staff, welcoming and has made both my little girls so welcome and feel so loved. My two girls have achieved so much due to Springs's teaching. My youngest misses her key workers when not there, and my eldest daughter still has the same key workers to this day and looks forward to seeing them on the way to school. I will definitely be putting my son in this nursery in a year and am very sad they aren't going to be in our daily life. Their relationship with their parents is great also.

Overall Experience

Our son has loved his nursery experience. He’s learnt so much and has so much fun. The ladies who work there really care for your child, and I feel like they are very looked after, and I wouldn’t have wanted my child to go anywhere else. We’re sad his nursery days have come to an end. Highly recommend Spring Nursery Seesaw Lancaster Way.

Overall Experience

This nursery is so good. Actually, my little girl has made so much progress, and I get so much support from the staff working with her as she needs more help, but they have been fantastic with her. Definitely recommend it any day, anytime. I get regular updates through the app and verbally, in fact, I doubt if you can get better anywhere else - they are that good.

Very good nursery. Our son was struggling with his speech as he missed alot of contact during the pandemic. The staff at the nursery helped him so much, and he now has a good vocabulary. He really looks forward to his days there now.

Review from D R (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Nursery has been a great setting for my little one. She was born during Covid, it took her time to settle in, but the staff was always helpful and flexible to meet the needs of my little one. We tried to work together to have a positive impact, in the end, she was more than happy to go there. Loads of activities, spend time out, everybody goes above and beyond to make your children feel happy. I cannot recommend them enough.

Very friendly staff.
My 2/3-year-old son absolutely loved it.
They have regular one to one talks with parents.
My son felt welcomed and loved, and this was everything I could ask from a nursery.

I really appreciate all their help.

Review from Yanis A (Father of Child) published on 6 August 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I would highly recommend Seesaw Nursery, as my child has come on leaps and bounds in her development. She is always extremely excited to start her day with all the fun activities abound. She is always a little upset to leave at the end of the day, but ready for a nap. Seesaw Nursery always keeps us informed throughout the day via the app of her activities, which is very reassuring, and the staff take time at the end of the day to have a one to one with parents on notes they have taken through the day and how to work together for the betterment of the child’s development. Much love to all of the staff for all their hard work and dedication.

Management communication in person, via email and through the app is second to none. Can’t praise everyone enough.

Review from Donna P (Grandmother of Child) published on 28 January 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My grandson whom, I am named support, has come on leaps and bounds since attending the nursery. He is becoming more confident around people and other children, and this has been a positive step. The feedback through the app is very good, and the updates informative. Had concerns about his eating progress, but that may be because he is still learning to be around other people and shy to eat in front of others. I'm looking forward to seeing his progress in the future. The staff all seem friendly and efficient, and my grandson seems to have warmed to a few of the ladies. All in all, it is or seems to be a very friendly, organised, safe nursery choice.

Their staff are extremely kind every day. They're great with my son, he loves to go to the nursery. Every time I pick him up they give me feedback on what he's been doing. I love that my son has developed his speech a lot since he started going there, now he tells me everything he has done word by word. All thanks to his teachers. I really appreciate all the effort.
