Valentines Nursery

An outstanding nursery. Thank you.

Very pleased we chose this nursery. Our daughter started last year when she was about 1 and has been well supported by all the staff throughout her time with Valentines. From what I’ve seen, the staff are really great with the kids, who are encouraged to be polite and respectful to each other, get involved in a good variety of developmental activities and have fun in the process! Communication with parents is good, the food seems to be fine, the outside space is a bit limited (compared to some other local nurseries) but seems to be used by kids at every opportunity. Where I feel Valentines really excels is forming great relationships between the kids and the staff, and among the kids too - so very important in the early years. Will be sending the youngest there too.

Our daughter, like others, clearly has a very good time at nursery, which is wonderful to see! Thank you.

We have loved having our son attend Valentines Nursery. He started at 10 months old and his development accelerated straight away. The staff in his room are amazing and he loves seeing them every morning. The managers communicate really well and really know all of the children as well. All in all, a great nursery and good value for money too.

I am delighted that my daughter was accepted into the nursery as it has set her head and shoulders above others now in her school reception class. Her knowledge of numbers, letters, nature and bonding with other children was definitely made here. The staff are always at hand to provide there knowledge and experience to the children. My daughter especially loved the garden area where she could climb, build, bug hunt and lots more. In the summer the children watch the butterflies released which was a very memorable event for my daughter as it was shared with friends. I can’t fault anything regarding the nursery nothing was too much trouble. A valuable team of staff in an amazing environment for children to grow and learn and also make lifelong friendships.

My daughter has been at Valentines Nursery since she was twelve months old and since the start they have been fantastic. They listen to the parent and the child's needs and always respond quickly to emails/telephone calls in case I have a query. They regularly send video or picture observations which is lovely as I can see what activities she has participated in. Whilst she has been at the nursery I have seen a great change in her social needs, she has become more confident and talkative and her personality is shining through. Thank you for all your hard work.

Up to date diary inputs as well. I feel at ease knowing my child is in good hands.

My daughter started at Valentines Nursery in August 2018 at 10 months old. It took me several weeks of research and several nursery visits until I found them and the second I walked in I knew that they were the right choice for my baby. She loves every second she spends there and it has a very visible and positive effect on her with her development improving day by day. Such lovely, friendly and smiley staff. Very warm family environment and all kids are taken care off individually and equally. Glad to be part of Valentines Nursery.

Have had no issues or complaints.

The Nursery is extremely child focused and my daughter has thrived in the stimulating, caring environment at Valentines. The owner has a key understanding of early years development and progress and this is reflected in the routine of my child’s day. Staff are clearly committed to helping children progress and build strong relationships.

Great staff, always happy to tell you how the day was in the nursery. The manager always finds time for a meeting when I have requested one, and helped me to deal with my child's diet. My child's clothes and her toys always were put in the bag at the end of the day; nothing ever got lost. No accidents or injury. I am confident I chose the best nursery in the area and if I have another child, I would choose Valentines Nursery. Big thank you to the staff, they are doing an amazing job.

My son joined Valentines Nursery in September 2017 and he absolutely loves it there! The staff are very friendly and approachable and the facilities are excellent. My son has been at Valentines Nursery for almost a year and I have seen an exceptional amount of progress in his learning. His speech has improved dramatically, he is more creative, confident and has a greater understanding of the world. I am regularly given updates on his progress and the activities that he took part in during the day. I really cannot recommend this nursery enough, the staff have been absolutely amazing! You can see why they have been awarded 'outstanding' by Ofsted!

Lovely nursery with such a kind approach to children. I love the supportive ethos and the focus on play and confidence / social development. My girl loves it there.

My daughter has been going to this nursery for 2 years now and she loves it, recently her younger brother started nursery and he has settled in just fine. I have seen my children change and develop their own personality and they love going to nursery to see their friends and the staff. They have a built a good relationship with all the staff members and the best thing is that the staff members also build a relationship with the parents. It feels like we've known everyone for ages and they always remember even the smallest details. An amazing nursery and amazing staff = A happy mummy.

Both my children went to Valentines Nursery and I would highly recommend this nursery. Both my children have enjoyed themselves tremendously, learnt loads through active play, activities and have gained lots of confidence. The staff are outstanding and have shown so much care. Valentines Nursery provides a homely environment creating a very safe environment for the children. I would like to say thank you to all the staff for being so great.

This nursery has been awarded 'outstanding' and it really lives up to this well-deserved title.

My daughter has been at this nursery just over 1.5 years and I have been so happy with quality of care she receives.

The staff are amazing and very friendly. Most of the staff have been working at the nursery for a long time (10years+) and that to me speaks volumes. The staff must be managed well for some staff to stay this long with one organisation.

My daughter is happy at the nursery and has learned and progressed tremendously. I'm so happy with how far she has come, I couldn't ask for more. Nothing is ever too much to ask for this nursery. They go above and beyond. I feel confident in leaving my child at the nursery knowing she will be well looked after for the day. Staff are so good with her and she even talks about the staff when she gets home.

I would highly recommend and this nursery will give your child a good foundation to progress successfully onto school.

We have been very happy with the care our children have received at Valentines Nursery. My two boys are well settled and enjoy their time at the nursery. Their key workers have been brilliant and they have kept us regularly informed about how the boys are doing. I would definitely recommend Valentines to other parents.

My husband and I are extremely thankful to the staff at Valentines for supporting our daughter through the stages of her development. We're regularly updated on how she is doing and about the different things that she takes part in at the nursery. We feel she has already made heaps of progress due to the commitment from the staff. We would highly recommend Valentines!

I would highly recommend Valentines nursery! My daughter is going there with a big smile! Lovely staff, lots of activities for kids to learn skills, great communication with parents.

My daughter is always coming home happy, she loves her key worker, when I take her home she always tells me how busy she was and I can see she's learning a lot. The whole team is lovely.

Valentines Nursery is professionally managed and personalised attention is given to each child, keeping in mind every individual is different from each other and they have different needs and capabilities.
