Overall Experience

After the Covid lockdown, our daughter was eager to attend schooling. We as parents were concerned about her transition, however, we were delighted with her response as she is now excited to attend nursery. This is down to a great learning/play environment where she can flourish. We are very happy with the daily updates via an app which really puts our minds at ease.

Review from Charmaine C (Mother of Child) published on 2 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Spring Seesaw has been amazing these last couple of months. My daughter did like leaving me, especially after lockdown. But they have been great at encouraging her and making her feel so so welcome. And would give me a message to let me know how she has settled if she went in upset and was never a bother if I rang and asked after her. My daughter absolutely loves the staff. Especially certain staff members, who I can’t thank enough with how they have been with my daughter. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming.

Review from Kristina B (Mother of Child) published on 28 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is a fantastic nursery. My daughter is generally very shy, especially with new people. The staff made it so much easier for her to settle in. They are a lovely bunch of people, and the nursery has a real family feel. My daughter loves coming here and talks about it how happy she is there a lot.

Reply from Sarah Actionforchildren, Operations manager at Spring Nursery Seesaw Lancaster Way

Review from Brooke N (Mother of Child) published on 27 January 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter absolutely loves nursery.
When my daughter first started, she did have a bit of separation anxiety, but her key worker dealt with her so well. Distracted her and then once she was happy, they would message me on the app with a picture and let me know she’s ok. It made me feel so at ease seeing pictures and getting updates.
If I’ve ever had an issue, it had been resolved once I have addressed it. All nursery staff listen to my concerns and acted accordingly.
Also, I love that I get regular updates on her development. Regular assessments make me feel a lot more confident about her progression.
I do highly recommend the nursery.

Also home-cooked meals for lunchtime is such a bonus! Great meals all freshly made on site is great.

The staff at Seesaw are friendly and very helpful. For the parents, they are more than happy to help and with the kids they are encouraging, playful and educational. Very pleased I picked here for my son. Plus the family app is a great thing to keep up with little one's development. Recommended to my Mum mates.

Overall Experience

My child loves Spring Nursery, she is always happy going in and coming out. Staff are amazing, they all take time to say hello to parents and children and always have time to have a chat if needed and tell you what your child has been doing throughout the day. Everything is clean and set out lovely ready for the children to play. My child has made friends and has learnt so much being at Spring Nursery. Excellent staff and nursery. Would fully recommend it.
