I am so much satisfied with TORNS. My son enjoys the whole time he spends in the nursery. Have seen so many changes in him. He is very attached to the teachers and staff. Staff is very friendly and helpful. All of them have put a great effort to make my son who he is today and to help him adjust in the nursery and in the main stream school. I am so thankful to all the staff for taking care of him and making him a good boy today and for the future. You all will be sadly missed. I strongly recommend TORNS to my family.

When we were looking for a pre-school to enrol our children, we looked at a lot of pre-schools and I am very happy we chose The Old Rectory nursery School. The teachers and the staff are great. Their dedication to my child's growth academically is second to none. We are happy with what our child has learnt and how much she has improved.

Our initial attraction to this nursery was the excellent cleanliness of the environment upon our first visit in 2013, and we have proved it wasn't a one off. We are very impressed with the management to the front-line staff because they are approachable and we have developed a good rapport. We trust the nursery hence we have entrusted three children in their care in the last three years. We are exceptionally happy with the care they offer to our children and the regular updates we receive about their development. The excellent learning environment can be seen in our kids development and interpersonal skills.

Excellent staff and nursery. My son thoroughly enjoyed his time at nursery despite being reluctant before due to language barriers. The teachers were able to deal with his difficulties really well and I am extremely satisfied with his academic performance and improvement in speaking skills. The nursery itself was very well safe guarded for children and I am happy with the food that was provided all being healthy. Overall an excellent nursery for children under five.

Torns is an excellent nursery which provides a high level of care and learning. The friendly and experienced staff made everything from settling into the day to day activities all fun and exciting. Our daughter spent two and a half years at Torns and felt totally at ease with the nursery environment. She has become a confident little girl and mixes well with other children. A varied and rotating food menu has encouraged our daughter to try new foods which has made her a less fussy eater. The overall standard is excellent and I would highly recommend this nursery. We are now getting ready to enrol our second daughter.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Shantelle (Mother of Child) on Friday 21 August 2015. Relates to August 2015.
Fantastic nursery!!
Being first time parents; my partner and I naturally wanted to ensure we found the best placement for our daughter.
We, and most importantly, our daughter absolutely love the nursery!! Our daughter joined at 9 months old and is now a very bubbly confident chatty inquisitive 21 month old.
The staff are fantastic. I also love the fact the nursery has a large enclosed garden so the children enjoy outdoor play and aren't cooped up inside all day.
A diary of food eaten, activities and naps is completed daily and parents are able to read these as each child has their own pigeon hole. All in all I would recommend The Old Rectory Nursery School 100%.
