Review from Godfrey H (Father of Child) published on 8 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My child has had the same key worker for a couple of years now. She has looked after her in a professional way. My daughter has taken to her fantastically. Moving the next stage is good for her but I am sure that she will miss her. The key worker has been there for us whenever we had any questions and has been very supportive. Overall we are very happy and long may it continue.

Overall Experience

Cedars has helped to greatly increase our son's confidence since he has started, in only two months. He interacts more confidently with other children now and he loves his key worker at the nursery. His eating has also improved since starting Cedars as has his mobility.

Overall Experience

My little girl has been in Caterpillars for 4 months and loves it. She settled in instantly because of the brilliant team and her keyworker. She is about to change to Laybirds and I am confident that her transition will run smoothly because of how much they have helped her grow.

Overall Experience

The review was very sweet, enjoyed learning what our grandson does each nursery visit. His folder with the photos was very enjoyable. The nursery is great and staff helpful and obliging. Even though the nursery nurse was running late at no time did she make us feel rushed or moved on.

Overall Experience

My daughter is 15 months old and full time at Cedars. She started when she was 10 months and has loved the nursery from the start. The staff are great with her, really make an effort to fit things around her home routine and she has blossomed in their care. We have every intention of her remaining full time in Cedars until she goes to school.

Review from Katie G (Mother of Child) published on 18 January 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My 4 year old left Cedars in the September ready to start school having been there since he was 11 months old. I have never had a bad word to say in all that time. My youngest son then started in Caterpillars and i have again been reminded what a fantastic nursery this is. I have been amazed at how quickly he has settled and the bond he already shares with his key person is lovely to see. Delicious food, naps when he want to, so much space, wonderful activities and so much variety, Cedars is again the only place I would recommend.

Review from Melanie B (Mother of Child) published on 15 January 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

At its most simple, our experience is defined by how comfortable we feel leaving our most loved little being in the hands of other people responsible for his wellbeing and development. Our experience has been of the highest order. My son has loved his time at Cedars and we as parents have felt 110% comfortable leaving him every morning knowing he is having a great time and being looked after. Congratulations to your team on this amazing achievement. We are tough critics I promise! A special thanks must go to the chef for helping with his special diet and the key workers and staff for their care, love and support. We will miss you and my son will miss you to.

Review from Naomi S (Mother of Child) published on 7 December 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter attended Cedars Day Nursery between the ages of 8 months & 3 years. I have found the care outstanding from all members of staff. They really focus on building relationships with the children & my daughter has had a great relationship with all of her key workers. My daughter had some health issues during her time at nursery and the staff were very helpful & could not do enough to help us & my daughter, providing her the one on one care she needed at the time. Over the last couple of years our daughter has developed very well during her time at Cedars nursery & she will miss it!

Review from Jennifer R (Mother of Child) published on 15 October 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We always received wonderful care for our daughter, however when we had a family crisis Cedars Nursery really stepped in and assisted in every way possible. Outstanding staff and care meant that we could cope with living in a hospital for 6 months with our prem baby whilst keeping life as normal as possible for her. I can't express my gratitude and thanks for their impressive attitude/flexibility and care.

Review from Nelani M (Mother of Child) published on 12 October 2015 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Both my daughters attended this nursery since they were about a year old. Not having any family in this country, childcare was a big issue for us, Cedars Day Nursery sort of became family to us. My girls thrived there and are very confident, polite and intelligent girls. The staff are very friendly and approachable and we are very fond of this nursery. I would recommend it to anyone.

Overall Experience

We started our son in Cedars at six months in May this year and we have been so pleased with everything about the Nursery. It's well run with lots going on and it's been a lovely positive experience for our baby who is there three full days a week. All the staff are helpful and contacting the nursery is always very easy.
