Review from Zahra K (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
Amazing nursery, my child has come out with confidence and amazing speech since being at Marks Gate Nursery.
This nursery is clean and has a sanitising station even outside the door and make sure the kids wash hands before any activities to stop the spread.

Just amazing!

Review from Tracy K (Mother of Child) published on 29 May 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
My children have been going to this nursery since 2015. The nursery is exceptional, the staff are very nice, they are always smiling even though they are under much pressure with children crying, noise but they continue to smile.
They don't allow the pressure to show on them. This is what I call professional. The staff in baby room are always energetic. Changes happen in the nursery, by changing staff around to different departments, although most people do like changes but really it does help and make a big difference.

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from L S (Mother of Child) published on 4 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Marks Gate Children's Centre is a very good nursery. My daughter has been attending since 6 months old (now 3 yrs) and absolutely loves it. Her confidence improves daily, play skills, communication skills and overall ability to be independent! Staff are excellent. They are friendly, polite, very helpful and try to accommodate personal circumstances as much as possible.

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.
