Matilda Community Day Nursery

Our son went to Matilda for over a year. He loved it and was looking forward to it every day. Lovely and caring staff. Lots of activities for children and parents to join, and becoming part of the community. It feels home.

The prior reviews from 2015-16 chime with our experience - it's heartening to see the continuity.

It's such a warm, nurturing environment, and we're so grateful to have found it. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a fun, caring, and engaging nursery!

Matilda day nursery is a fantastic nursery which is very supportive of the children and parents.

My son loves going to nursery and has learnt so much in terms of communicating, toilet training, playing, singing and dancing.

Parents are always kept informed of what is happening and what has been planned and are encouraged to have a say in what is going on.

The staff are very friendly and the fees are also very reasonable.

Our two year old daughter likes the nursery. It's in a very quiet and secure spot in a court yard of a block of flats. It has it's own garden and a playground shared with the public. The staff are friendly and professional. It's small and intimate with only 14-15 children at any time. Our daughter likes the yoga lessons and likes seeing her friends from the neighbourhood there.

I'm really pleased that we made the move to Matilda nursery and would definitely recommend parents consider it.

When we found Matilda nursery our family was bruised due to a previous very negative childcare experience. As a result of this experience, my little boy, 3yrs old, was very anxious and his confidence had hit rock bottom (as had mine!). At his previous nursery my happy, confident little boy had turned into an anxious, teary and frightened little soul, it was heartbreaking to watch. He developed a stutter, would not settle to sleep and had difficulties staying dry in the day.

On our first day at Matilda my son and I were both very anxious and teary but the staff was fantastic in dealing with us. The manager confidently but gently took the lead of the settling in process, giving plenty of cuddles and gentle reassurance to both son and mum! I was peaking through the window (too anxious to leave the building) and saw my scared little boy being cuddled and reassured by each and everyone of the staff.

My son now happily runs in through the door in the morning, with a cheery "good morning" and all the staff greet him and the other children so warmly. I must also mention that he was dry within two days (!) and his stutter is gone now too. He has got his confidence back and is once again the happy, loving inquisitive child we always see at home.

Well, it doesn't get any better than the girls at Matilda, they are excellent. I cannot find enough words to explain the difference these girls have made to our lives. To have our happy, bouncy little boy back means everything to us as parents and we have the girls at Matilda to thank for that. If you are lucky enough to get a space at this lovely place, grab it. You and your little ones will be so grateful that you did.
