A wonderful nursery with kind, attentive staff who truly care about the children. My children loves coming here and has learned so much. I feel confident and happy leaving my child in their care. Highly recommended!
My daughter has been at this nursery for a term now, and I couldn't be happier. The staff and management are amazing and communicate really well. They settled my child in smoothly and have always given helpful, consistent feedback. It's clear they've created a safe, nurturing environment where my daughter is able to grow and develop positively. I'm very grateful for the care and support they provide.
I am very happy with this kindergarten. The teachers are kind, patient, and truly care about the children. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and my child feels safe and excited to go every day. The activities are creative and educational, helping the kids learn through play. The communication with parents is excellent, and I always feel informed about my child's progress. I highly recommend this kindergarten to any parent who wants their child to be in a loving and supportive environment.
Thank you for your kind words and a true reflection of our setting. We believe in creating a warm and welcoming environment.
I'm very happy with this nursery. My two older children attended here before, and I was always pleased with the care and service they provided. The staff are very supportive and friendly, which gives me peace of mind. That's why I also decided to register my youngest daughter here, because I fully trust their work. I highly recommend this nursery.
Thank you for your positive feedback
Great nursery, my son loves going there and loves the staff and all the activities he does, the new garden equipment is great and all the staff really treat the children brilliantly. He has been going since a baby and has enjoyed it all the way through.
The nursery is very spacious and clean.
The nursery has been amazing at supporting my child, he has grown in confidence while at the nursery and is coming home with new knowledge to be ready for school each week. All of the staff are lovely and take great care of the children - I would definitely recommend.
Great staff. My child loves going to Marks Gate Nursery and is really thriving there. All staff are lovely and polite and you can see that they love what they do and really care about the children. Love the app where you can check what my child has eaten, sleep times, snapshots of the week and how many times she has been changed. I would definitely recommend this nursery.
My son is always happy when it’s nursery day. Very happy with their approach to interacting with the kids. They are always willing to help with any concerns and always listen whenever there’s a problem. Very good nursery.
My son has attended for 8 months now, I feel confident in leaving my child at the nursery knowing he will be well looked after for the day and have lots of fun doing educational activities. The app is brilliant at keeping me updated.
The Leyf Marks Gate Nursery is excellent in every aspect and I would not consider sending my children to any other nursery. Most importantly the children are extremely well loved – as a result, the establishment has a calm and extremely happy atmosphere and the children are always having a fun time. All the staff are so kind and loving with the children and it really feels as if the staff delight in the development of the children as much as the parents. Nothing is ever too much trouble and the staff are always happy to chat about your child and provide feedback.
Our daughter has been in Marks Gate Nursery and PreSchool for 1 year now and we couldn't be more happy and thankful that we made the decision to choose this nursery. Over the last 1 year, she developed a very remarkable bond with the teachers, staff and his peers. Every time I pick her up from the nursery, he would be so excited to tell me all the wonderful things he did that day with his friends and what he learned from his teachers. She is always excited to come back the next day! We have seen her confidence and character develop over time, with the help of the lovely team from Marks Gate Nursery and PreSchool. She always looks forward to show and tell.
Regards
One happy mother.
My daughter has and continues to blossom since attending nursery this year in January. We love this nursery, it’s local to us, friendly, and reliable and they have staff that really care. I am very happy with the attention my baby is given.
I’m sure they put a lot of work through the process, and I’m very grateful to have my son there. Many thanks! A happy mother who loves their services.
My child is always keen and happy when going to Nursery. As a parent, this is probably the most important thing. My child’s speech has also improved massively. The nursery always keeps me up to date with everything. Excellent nursery.
My son just finished the nursery and at the end of his school, he was really upset that he needs to leave and start a new adventure. My child has come out with confidence and wonderful memories. The staff are brilliant and always helpful. We will definitely miss the Marks Gate Nursery team and thank you for everything you did for my son.
The staff have been amazing and friendly in looking after each and every child that has been to the nursery. Such a friendly community and made everyone feel welcome when coming through their doors. My grandson will be sad to be leaving and loves each and every nursery staff who looked after him while being at the nursery.
My son has been attending for over 6 months now and seems to love it. The staff are friendly and informative about his day, they seem to know him very well and he is familiar and speaks well of them. They upload pictures in an app and you can see that they do lots of activities and create a fun environment for the children. I feel comfortable leaving him there and he is becoming more confident and independent as time goes on. 100% would recommend.
My son and I love this nursery. He is 3 years old now and has been going here for about 2 years. The staff are brilliant, the food is healthy and my son loves it, and it’s a caring supportive environment. They are invested in his development and wellbeing and have been a great support in helping with potty training. He has learned a lot there and he loves going. I really feel that they put in a lot of effort, and they truly care about each child. They know my son and enjoy spending time with the children. I always see them playing with the children and hear the children laughing when I walk by. I’ve never had any issues and appreciate that I can leave my son with good caring people while I get to work.
