Review from Antonia W (Mother of Child) published on 6 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I can’t thank everyone at Head Start Day Nursery. The progress our son has made since joining in September 2022 is above and beyond anything we could have ever expected. He is so much more confident and is so happy every time I drop him off. He loves all his nursery teachers and they have such a nurturing, caring way with him! The best decision we have made as parents!

Our cousins little one started with Crews Hill Nursery which helped us make the decision to do the same. The team have been very welcoming and accommodating of any needs or preferences and spent the time to assure us of any queries we have. The management are very efficient and are always on hand to help. Will be recommending in the future.

Overall Experience
My one year old has recently started at Head Start Crew Hill and I can honestly say we are so pleased that we chose this nursery. The care she receives is so lovely and I'm sure it has made the transition easier for her. The staff all knew her name straight away and make a fuss when she arrives in the mornings. They've been really supportive encouraging me to call up to check in on her if I have needed to and going through any questions I have when I drop her off. This has made a big different to me as a parent whilst I adjust to the change! My husband and I both love the app that shows pictures of her that day and tells us when she slept, what she ate and how many nappy changes she had that day. We really look forward to seeing this each day. The nursery also provides a weekly newsletter letting us know the activities for that week and also reminders on things we might need to know/do.

Thanks to all the staff here for doing a fantastic job!

My little one started with the team at Head Start Day Nursery Crews Hill and we couldn’t be happier. Would definitely recommend to family and friends. My child has settled in well and is always happy when collected. The food offered is of a good variation - I wish I could have lunch there!

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Head Start Day Nursery Crews Hill since January 2022 and I couldn’t be happier with the choice we have made. We knew from the moment we walked in that this was the right nursery for us. The outdoor space is wonderful and the team is just great. The staff are caring and supportive and we feel happy and confident to leave our baby in their care. The communication is just great and we get regular updates from the room based staff as well as weekly updates from the management team. As someone who is from an education background I must add that the learning opportunities are just exceptional. They even have chickens in their garden which the children help to care for. The food is freshly made on site and my little one is definitely fed really well.

Overall Experience

Our child has been with Head Start Day Nursery in Crews Hill from the age of 18 months to 2 years and has loved every day. He wakes up on Monday and Tuesday every week excited to go to nursery and talks about all the staff and his little mates. The grounds are great, the welfare is exemplary and we are gutted we are moving elsewhere as he has such an amazing experience. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Review from Vicky G (Mother of Child) published on 25 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We sent our son to Head Start from 9 months old and now at 13 months we have moved out of the area and will be leaving Head Start. As a young July baby, we were nervous for the start of nursery but Head Start have been so welcoming and accommodating to our needs in the under 2's room. The nursery have a fantastic settling-in period and have been so supportive in helping us with our journey of weaning which has taken some patience. They are all very dedicated staff who are all smiley and happy in the mornings which helps us feel at ease as parents when drop-off can be tearful for the baby.

Would definitely recommend and come back if we are local again.

Review from Emma D (Mother of Child) published on 11 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I can't rate the nursery highly enough. My son is 18 months, and gets excited every morning that I get him out of the car to take him in! My daughter went to a neighbouring nursery where most of the staff used to work, and this is the main reason I decided to send my son to Head Start Day Nursery Crews Hill. All the staff have the children's welfare and happiness as their main priority. They have a lovely caring nature and my son loves his teachers. The management of the nursery is 2nd to none. There are regular well-being initiatives, environmental projects, daily educational lessons, sports, and crafts to broaden the childrens learning. The food provided is great quality, homemade and varied. There are lots of plans for improvement and communication is excellent. The outside space cannot be beaten in Enfield! The children are encouraged to develop, be independent and grow. I couldn't ask for more!

Review from R G (Mother of Child) published on 11 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We returned to the nursery after a period away with a second child that was new to the nursery and the nursery itself was under new management. Generally, we’ve been very impressed with how it is managed, how proactively staff react to questions and issues raised and how comfortable and content our child feels in the setting. We welcome the management’s response to feedback and find them and all the staff very approachable. It’s been great to know also that our child has been exposed to a variety of activities - both those internally run and those brought in from external companies - and I think this makes a big difference to children who have been born and raised during the pandemic. The food offered and general welfare also seem to be of a very high standard. The staff also should be credited for continuing to work under challenging circumstances due to the pandemic and have a very family-focused approach - something which is really welcome at this time.

My son is flourishing at the nursery with the help from helpful and kind staff and he always seems to come home having learned a new skill or be excited by his experiences. The environment is engaging and stimulating so he is always learning and I particularly enjoy the daily feedback we get via the app.

5 stars!

Review from Ash G (Mother of Child) published on 11 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I can’t say enough positive words about the care, staff and facilities at this nursery.
The communication between parent and staff is brilliant and we never feel like we can’t just pick up the phone and chat with the senior leadership team or our daughter's key person.
Our daughter is well looked after and we feel we have built a great relationship with the staff - even in preschool where we know she will be happy when she goes there.
The grounds are amazing and our daughter gets to do the most amazing activities.
The free Spanish and sports lessons plus a Qualified Teacher Status teacher in pre-school makes this nursery stand out from others in the area. Fees are reasonable given the extended opening times too!

We couldn’t be happier and would recommend the nursery to anyone without hesitation.

My 3-year-old started with Head Start last year, August 2021. Since then we’ve had a really good time. She had wonderful settling ins and now she loves to go to nursery. Staff are always helpful, kind and very caring. She loves every key worker in her room and we are so happy that she’s at Head Start.

A big thank you to the manager and team.

Review from Hollie S (Mother of Child) published on 11 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Head Start at Crews Hill is in the most beautiful setting. The children are free to spend the entire day outdoors if they want to versus only having set times each day. This was one of the main reasons for choosing this nursery. Since starting 5 months ago, we have noticed such a change in our little boy and he absolutely loves going “to school” every morning.

Reply from Gemma Craig, PLT Manager at Crews Hill Day Nursery and Pre-School

Thanks for your review. Crews Hill certainly is in a beautiful setting and its great to hear your little boy is able to enjoy this anf thrive with his early years development.

Our son loves attending pre-school, and since his attendance he's made a number of friends and his speech has improved dramatically.

We were nervous about choosing the right pre-school for our son, but we're very happy with the choice we made and are excited to learn that improvements will soon be made to the facilities.

Review from Nicola L (Mother of Child) published on 11 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I spent a long time researching the best nursery in which to place my 3 year old son. I wanted my son to attended a nursery that I felt offered my child more than playschool or preshool. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.
My son started in February. Prior to starting he was very, very clingy, which increased my fear of leaving him. All the staff have gone out of their way to ensure he has the most positive experience. He now wakes up and asks if he's going to nursery today and is super excited to go. His key worker and staff seem genuinely happy to see him on the days he attends and I notice a jump in speak and language the day after he attends. His most favourite activities are outdoor based, which there is a good access too.

Overall, a nurturing, caring and educational environment which I am happy and reassured to leave my previous little one in. Thank you to all the staff who always have time to listen to me and give me thorough feedback.
