I've used this nursery for 13 years and wouldn't send them anywhere else. The staff really care about the children and are always on hand to help. Two of my children were even potty trained here.

Review from Michaela C (Mother of Child) published on 31 October 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter was so scared to be left at nursery. This made my anxiety go through the roof. The staff here were amazing. They really put my mind at ease. I saw when I dropped her off how kind and caring they were towards her whilst also comforting me. I also received pictures showing me she was fine, smiling and having fun. I have great confidence in the staff here. They have brilliant interaction skills with the children. The nursery is always clean and tidy. My daughter is given food and drink and allowed to play inside or out. I feel she has a great relationship with the staff and always comes away smiling. She has come on leaps and bounds. A fantastic nursery for all children and mums with separation anxiety from their children.

My son loves the nursery and everybody in there. I have no complaints, they treat him nicely and with love and they do what I ask them to do when it comes to his eczema problem. I have no concerns. They are lovely! They are very polite to me and to my son! I'm so glad I've put my son in this nursery. Thank you very much to you all!

Review from Kat G (Mother of Child) published on 4 June 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

As a mum of a child with additional needs, I was very nervous when my little boy was due to start nursery. Turns out there was no need to worry as the nursery itself is always very clean and cheerful and the food provided is fresh and healthy, great help towards five a day! All the staff have been incredible with my son and he has been doing amazingly since starting, especially with his speech delay. I cannot fault this nursery or the staff at all, everyone is very welcoming, understanding and knowledgeable of my child's needs, staff are always happy to chat about any concerns and have also been very understanding regarding my own mental health issues too. There is always something happening for the children and plenty of fun and laughter to go around! Both mine and my son's confidence has grown tremendously since starting and I couldn't be happier with the service Seesaw provides. Would recommend Seesaw 100%!

Review from Gemma M (Mother of Child) published on 26 April 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son first attended this nursery at the age of two and seemed to take to it instantly. The staff made me feel very at ease leaving him to go back to work and the biggest compliment I can give is that he couldn't wait to get in there each morning. The staff are experienced, fun and imaginative which makes for a great atmosphere and good environment for learning. The kids seemed to really engage and I was always surprised with how quickly my son picked up on new things. The staff played a huge role in getting my little boy ready to start school and made it such an easy transition for him (and me!).

The manager is great, very approachable and always played an active part in addressing any concerns I had. I have some great memories to look back on for my son's time at nursery and I can't thank them enough.

Review from Claire W (Mother of Child) published on 26 April 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Spring Lancaster Way is a FANTASTIC nursery. The management and staff are really well-trained, highly knowledgeable and above all really care about all the children there.
My daughter has been attending Spring for 16 months and I have only hugely positive things to say about their care for her. Really great communication, fantastic and varied activities, and they work with you as a parent to help maximise your child’s development.
I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.

Loads of great things about it, but the outstanding thing for me is the commitment, positivity and loveliness of all the staff.

Outstanding nursery. We have been using the nursery for 4 years and it gets better. Staff so welcoming and my girls love going there. So helpful and always have time to fill you in with what your children have been up to that day.

Great newsletters and always doing something new and exciting for all the children. Nice to see so many smiley faces every time we turn up.

Review from Edyta G (Mother of Child) published on 20 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My son wasn't keen on going to the nursery at all. He was very shy and didn't want to play a lot with other children. After 3 months we can see a huge difference in our son's behaviour. He finally settled in thanks to the staff.
All the nursery staff are very supportive and professional. My son has made friends and enjoys his time at the Spring Nursery. He feels happy and most importantly, safe here.

The food is really good and versatile. There are many additional activities available at the nursery (dancing, forest school, sport etc).

Overall Experience

My daughter started last year without knowing a word of English. Now, I'm a proud mum, because, after 9 months of being in this nursery, my daughter can already say some few sentences and make us understand them The teachers are very friendly and that is very important to give confidence to kids. I recommend this nursery to everyone.

Review from F E (Mother of Child) published on 6 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My children have been coming to the nursery for over 4 years now and we have always found it to be very welcoming. The staff at the nursery always go that extra mile to person centre your child’s learning journey and the girls always ensure the children have fun whilst at nursery.

We have always been very pleased with the staff at the setting and enjoyed attending parents evening when you get to see photos and updates of what they have been up to.

My children speak very highly of the staff there and love the bond that they share with the girls, they look forward to going to nursery in the mornings and are always doing something fun when we collect them.

It’s such a pleasure to feel confident in the staff that look after your children and we are very happy with the service they provide. They have always made a huge effort in welcoming each child in their new rooms and settling them into making new friends.

Thank you for everything you do!
