Review from S B (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have been consistently pleased with the care, dedication, creativity and support of all members of staff to our daughter from her first day at Colville Nursery & Pre-School.
She has grown by leaps and bounds into a happy, confident and independent little girl and is always eager to get to pre-school each day.
There is a wonderful outdoor space for play and exercise.
Meals are varied, balanced and healthy.
Throughout the pandemic, Colville Nursery have taken measures to ensure the health, safety and well-being of everyone in their care (and employ) and, despite the difficulties and challenges, remained open and driven to educate, nurture and provide a safe environment for our children.

Additionally, as staff changes are inevitably made, all new members have shown the same wonderful standards we have come to expect from this amazing nursery. We will surely miss you all when our little one moves on to reception!

Review from Lorena G (Mother of Child) published on 2 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is an outstanding nursery and pre-school. The staff is extremely nice and professional, children are well looked after and take part in many activities. There is a good atmosphere and we parents get together at weekends (Colville Crew). The playground is excellent and kids have a good amount of outdoor play. Before Covid, they would organise trips to Holland Park and would visit the elderly patients at the local Hospice. Opening times are very convenient for working parents too.

Review from C F (Mother of Child) published on 11 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I can highly recommend this nursery!
Our daughter has joined the Colville Nursery family at the age of 9 months full time and I can honestly say that she loves going there!
The baby room staff is incredibly caring and loving, each day they engage the children in varied play activities.
Before Covid, that would be weekly trips to the library, the market, monthly forest school outings plus all the usual painting, singing, story and garden time and now since COVID they really made the most of their facilities - even organizing a "pool party" in the garden for the little ones. Our daughter has gained a lot of confidence in their caring hands.
Their chef is fantastic too and cooks healthy and varied food each day fresh.

The management is superb - they keep you informed through daily feedback at pickup, daily updates on their app, weekly newsletters and they organize special events such as Christmas Parties. You can tell they really care and create a wonderful family kind of atmosphere.

Review from A R (Mother of Child) published on 26 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been attending Colville Nursery full time for about 10 months now. We are so pleased with his development since starting at the nursery and it is clear to see how much he enjoys being there. The teachers and management are all so wonderful, genuine, and it is very obvious that they care deeply for the children. They are as excited to help the children reach their developmental milestones as any parent would be (example: cheering for first steps, big hugs, etc). The teachers plan daily activities which are age-specific, fun, educational, and engaging for the children. The teachers are very attentive to the children and can easily share details about what our son was interested in or a fun moment from the day. Our son eats very well and is offered a wide variety and types of foods, thanks to the in house chef. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a warm, safe, and loving environment for your child.

Overall Experience
I have been with Colville Nursery since 2017, my two sons went there and I'm sad to leave but my sons are entering school in September.
There is such a great team, helpful, always patient and loving with children. The garden is amazing too, full of toys and my sons were happy to go every morning.

We will miss the girls of Colville ... I warmly recommend this nursery!

Review from Clemence O (Mother of Child) published on 22 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We selected Colville Nursery as we felt comfortable putting our daughter there at the age of 3.5-months. Everyone one took great care of her, with special attention to her needs as a little baby, and helping her grow up with many different activities, including her to adapt to activities with older babies. We know she feels good as we see all the activities she is doing, the smile on her face in every picture. Great cook as well, so we know she is growing up in a healthy environment overall. She is now 13-months old, and we are looking forward to seeing all the progress she is doing with the Colville team!

Review from Magda W (Mother of Child) published on 6 June 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Very happy with the nursery for our nearly two year old daughter. Staff members in the baby room are fabulous - confident, entertaining and caring. She's engaged in so many activities both indoors and outdoors and develops motor, social and all kinds of skills so quickly. We get updated regularly on how our daughter is doing to put our minds at ease or point out areas of focus. Our daughter goes to the nursery in all smiles.

My son has been at Colville for over a year, and has loved it since he started. The staff are brilliant and form great relationships with the children. They have great outside space and seem to think up great activities for the children, utilising what’s available in the local area as well as in the nursery itself. Overall very happy with them.

Review from Arantxa D (Mother of Child) published on 15 June 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been with the nursery since he was 6 months, now he's almost 15 months, and we couldn't be happier. He loves the staff, the day to day activities and clearly learns a lot. It is an outstanding nursery and the staff are excellent. They are great with all the children. This is very obvious and they have clear plans of daily activities in line with the children's abilities and progressive development. Very happy.

Overall Experience
My 2 children, 2 and 4 years old, are in Colville Nursery and I warmly recommend it.
The contact with management and staff is very easy and I have a daily report on what my children are doing, eating, and exploring new activities.
There is an outdoor area, very important for my 2 energetic boys ;-).

The manager has always very good ideas to create new activities and sensitise children about important issues like healthy food, garden and nature or living together.

I'm confident that Colville is a safe and caring environment for my child. Staff are friendly, observant and patient. I particularly like the fact that there's a large garden where the children spend a lot of time playing outside as well as learning.

My son has been attending Colville Nursery for almost 2 years. The staff are helpful, friendly, approachable and reassuring. They truly care about the well-being and development of the children.

Overall Experience

I am so happy to have found this nursery - my son clearly loves it and has a lovely relationship with many of the carers and his little friends. He loves getting stuck into the mud kitchen and plenty of messy play, he eats very well there and I love to hear about their trips out to the local market and library.
