LEYF - Marks Gate Nursery & Pre-School

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.

I only have good things to say about this exceptional nursery. From the day our daughter settled into nursery until this day she is always up-to exciting stuff at the nursery. Staff have been amazing at working so hard through this pandemic with the extra precautions such as weekly Covid tests for the staff and continue to do so by teaching and supporting the children at the nursery as much as they can. I am always delighted to see what things my daughter is upto using the ParentZone app. Well done to all the staff members at Marks Gate! You are all doing a great job and we are very proud to call you our daughter's nursery.

Just amazing!

My daughter has been going here for 2 and a bit years. Her development has been amazing, she loves all the staff and has made friends who she talks about all the time. The staff have all been fantastic! They are very understanding, friendly, caring towards the children. I am very happy I chose this nursery.

This is the best nursery that I have found for my son and he loves it here so much and I have seen a big improvement with him since he has been coming. The staff are wonderful and kind I would definitely recommend this nursery to any other parent. I feel safe to leave my son here and I know he will be safe. I have never seen my son get up so happy in the morning and go to the nursery and not want to leave when picking him up. He has improved so much whilst there I wish I found the nursery sooner. I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents its clean and the food is good, always hot and so to are the healthy snacks for kids.

My son joined Marks Gate nursery in September with no interaction skills, he did not like playing with/near other children. The staff were so good at helping him settle. He now loves the nursery and has excelled in every element.

Staff try their best to get all children involved in activities. Nursery staff and manager are well trained. Review of children are always done on time and when necessity warrant.

My daughter has improved in confidence and speech while at her nursery.

I am very happy with the service given at Marks Gate Nursery. My daughter is very happy to come into the nursery. The activities are exciting and inviting. The staff are friendly and spend time with the children carrying out different activities. My daughter likes to explore messy play within the nursery, she sometimes comes home with paint and other messy play on her, but she is very happy within the nursery. Management are approachable and friendly.

I definitely love this nursery for the clean environment and friendly and caring teachers. I will certainly say that since my son started nursery here, his physical and social activities and interaction to others has developed and even my son is always more than happy to be at school. Teachers are really caring and understanding towards both parents and children.

I'm so happy for my son to be in this nursery because it's the best. I love all the staff and it's clean. My son has learnt so many things. The only thing I can say is to thank you so much to everyone who do the best with the children.

My child has progressed and seems to be doing extremely well. She is happy and loves to be around the staff who are very approachable and extremely helpful if and when I have needed to speak to them. "Thank you for your fab input into my special girl."

I recommend this school to everyone I see, my child feels happy and settled at school and I am really pleased with the progress she has made.

Thank you all.

Would love to see more funding put forward to help upgrade facilities and toys for the children. Staff do their best but lack of funding resources is very noticeable. Funding could help improve overall standards but they try to do a good job regardless.
