All of the team are so friendly, and after just a few weeks my son was reaching out for them to take him. He's now so happy and smiley at both drop-off and pick-up, and it's clear he has built a real connection with them all. I also love that it isn't just the key worker who builds a relationship with the children it really is a whole team approach.
We recently received a report from the nursery and it was brilliant to see how perfectly they captured my son's personality. It really shows they understand him and are getting the very best out of him. He's very active and doesn't tend to sit with one toy for long, but the Caterpillar Room is so stimulating for him, and they regularly change the activities to keep things engaging.
Positive - the team are exceptional - the level of care from early nursery to pre school has remained consistent - we have never had any worries or concerns for our daughter.
My son attends pre-school and has had a significantly impactful educational journey. He is consistently sharing positive memories, new warning opportunities and achieving his developmental milestones with the specialised nursery staff. The room staff are experienced, warm and develop a personalised approach to the childcare they provide to each individual child. My child has been consistently happy, safe and looks forward to attending his provision. Any concerns raised around my son are managed appropriately, feedback around his days and the participation and parental engagement is effective at all times. I would highly recommend this nursery setting.
Great communication and a wonderful management team!
Our son has settled in extremely well at the nursery. The staff are warm, friendly and have built genuine bonds with kin, which gives us great peace of mind. He also enjoys the wide variety of food on offer each day. We love receiving photo updates, its wonderful to see what he's been up to and how happy he is there.
My son has had a fantastic experience transitioning up to Bumblebees. The staff have made a real effort to get to know him on a personal level and tailor activities to his interesting and varied diet and loves all the facilities. Thank you, Bumblebees team!
I would highly recommend Lavenders Day nursery all three of my children have attended the setting and each time I have been very impressed, my children all enjoyed their nursery experience and didn't want to leave. Im very sure that the next few years that my youngest child has left at Lavenders will be joyful, pleasant and outstanding.
I have always experienced a happy and friendly environment from Lavenders Nursery and staff have always been helpful and professional. My daughter always enjoys her time at the nursery and is always excited to arrive. We get regular updates on her day and development through the app and have had some really nice photos of her enjoying her day.
My son has excelled within Lavenders since he started and loves to come. We are very sad that he is leaving.
We had a great experience at this nursery. Our older child did very well here, and our younger one is still enjoying and growing in this caring and supportive place, which we are very grateful for. The staff are kind, friendly, and always make sure the children feel safe, happy, and included. The facilities are modern, well equipped, and are being upgraded regularly. This nursery feels like a second home for our little one, and we highly recommend it to any parents looking for a loving and supportive place for their child.
Such an important part of our community and our daughter and her friends are very lucky to sped their time with these nursery practitioners!
I cannot be any happier with my decision of nursery. At the end of the day you hear all about your little one's day! They take time to explain how they get on and they make you feel like your the only one as they focus so much on your child and get to know them so well.
When we looked around, we were impressed with the beautiful outside space and engaged children, who were busy in a range of activities. Both of my children attend Lavenders and after some unexpected circumstances, we have been blown away by the care and support that we received. The management team have been so supportive and the staff in the room really get to know and care for the children. Thank you so much - my children love nursery.
I've had children in all of their age-group rooms from 8 months to 4 years and have found the kevel of care and development amazing. The staff maticulously prepare them for their next steps and all our children have enjoyed it there.
A very happy place to learn and to play. Lovely to see the children all interacting together in such a caring and wonderful environment.
Lovely nursery, fabulous staff with wonderful energy and all very caring about our little ones development - including our eldest who left Lavenders Day Nursery over 3 years ago. Lots of great educational focus on culture, seasonal events and charity. Would recommend!
It's a friendly, calm and positive environment and they really monitor and support each child's development which was one of the main things that made Lavenders my top choice.
My son is thriving there and I love knowing he's in that social setting. He also has an egg allergy and they have been so on it and considerate with all his weaning and he's trying so many delicious healthy foods. Thank you so much Lavenders, we are so grateful for everything!
Really like the place, both my kids went to same place and they really like the staff and enjoyed everything. Amazing place.
We've been going to Lavenders for a little over one year now since moving to the area from London. We've been so happy with the Lavenders team with how welcoming and caring they have been to our son. It's been so nice to see him grow and develop in such a safe and stimulating environment. Lavenders Day Nursery feels like an extension of our family and we look forward to entrusting them with our children for a few more years to come! Thank you!
My daughter has recently moved from another nursery to the preschool section and the staff have been great through the transition. There do seem to be less updates and info given. Often lunches and dinners are not recorded and the menu is not shared. My daughter loves coming to nursery but I do wish there was more communication about the activities she's doing. And I'd love to see more nutritious snacks being given. Breadsticks lack nutrients and without knowing whatever she's eating, it is a concern. Otherwise, management are supportive and staff are friendly.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We place high importance on the role of nutrition at Lavenders and have been working with Nutritional Therapist and Early Years Consultant, the chef to re-design our menus, which launched on 18th November. The new menus have been carefully...
