I am very satisfied with the nursery staff and my sons behaviour is improving, every day he is learning new rules to respect, he enjoys the premises, he has got his new friends and talks to me regularly about his teachers. I love the fact that I have been able to rely on the nursery staff since his first day. My son has a lot of beautiful paintings from the nursery, and I am happy with his teacher.
Good experience, daughter has developed well since joining. Would recommend.

Both my daughters have been through this nursery from baby room to preschool, and I can wholeheartedly recommend it. The staff retention is excellent which I think says a lot. Staff are experienced, extremely caring, and go out of their way for the children and parents. The staff have good relationships with one another, which creates a relaxed and happy atmosphere. There is a great mix of fun, stimulating activities in a bright and clean environment. The garden areas are small but they make good use of the space and spend a lot of time outdoors. They make a big effort to introduce the children to a wide range of healthy food. Really I have nothing negative to say, it's a lovely place and I will miss it very much when my little one leaves.
Great feedback. Staff are always helpful, truthful with the progress of my son which is great.

I have and will continue to share the experience I have at Shortlands.
There is also a low staff turn-over which is usually sign of a good management....
I have really enjoyed the people working here. The nursery is located next to the train station and opens long hours.
Staff are very friendly and polite even with the little ones. I would definitely recommend this place to any parent.

The staff have been very accommodating and genuinely care about my son. He has grown in confidence and maturity as a result of the care and attention he has received.

I feel like my child's room is a warm and inviting environment. The staff are very caring and passionate about the children. They are also very reassuring. My child always comes away from nursery happy with a new thing she has done each day. The nursery, in general, is a calm, happy and safe environment, which makes me very reassured that my child will be happy in my absence.
I'm so happy to know I can leave my daughter in 2-3's knowing she is well and truly looked after. My daughter is always asking if she can go to nursery even on days she does not go and weekends. All staff in the 2-3's and around the other rooms show so much care and concern for the children and...
I also enjoy that my daughter goes outside every day in all weathers and on small trips when they can :)
My daughter joined the nursery a few months ago and I have nothing but praise for the staff. They are very accommodating to my needs, and as a particularly worried parent they put my mind at ease whilst I'm at work.

My daughter joined the nursery a few months ago and I have nothing but praise for the staff. They are very accommodating to my needs, and as a particularly worried parent they put my mind at ease whilst I'm at work. The activities she participates in are great as we do not have the space at home. The updates I receive at the end of the day are very useful too as we can see what and how much she's eaten and slept that day. If you are looking for a place for your child that is flexible, caring, considerate and professional then this is the nursery for you.

Both my girls went to this nursery. Although my standards were quite high coming from NZ it was the only nursery that could accommodate both my girls. After not expecting too much I have been really impressed with them and the staff. The turnover is very low and the environment is excellent compared to others I looked at. One of my daughters took a while to settle but the staff always gave her reassuring cuddles. Both girls were happy and well fed. They did loads of creative activities.
