We have been so happy with Lavenders. They are so flexible and we never have to worry about our two boys when they are there.
My son learned English very quickly because of the way they teach, which involves a lot of playing.
Highly recommended.
The Lavenders staff make parents and children feel at ease. Our son enjoys and looks forward to nursery, which helps us relax and feel happy coming to nursery.
Very happy with Lavenders, My son is happy to stay all day.
Our little girl seems very happy here and always learning new things.
We will use it for our little boy too and would also highly recommended it to our friends and family. 10/10
The staff especially the manager are very willing to listen and help.
Friendly, polite, helpful, organised, fun and clean.
We are happy with Lavenders Nursery.
My eldest daughter recently left the nursery and started in Reception class. Lavenders prepared her so well for the transition to school in terms of self-confidence, a developing passion to learn, and all round strong social skills.
Her teacher in Reception even commented how well all of the children who moved up from Lavenders have done in their first few months at school.
I would strongly encourage those who are considering Lavenders for their children to go and visit.
Having looked around several other nurseries I was beginning to think I was being too fussy, however, the first time I visited Lavenders I found everything I was looking for and realised I didn't have to compromise.
Lavenders offer my son fun, stimulating activities both indoor and out, encouragement, boundaries and independence in a caring environment that ensures his happiness, in which he is flourishing, as he was in his previous nursery.
My two children attend Lavenders (aged 2 and 4) and have done for the last year. The nursery has excellent facilities (especially the new garden!), kind staff and flexible and supportive management. I would highly recommend.
My children have been attending Lavenders Day Nursery over the past five years and have absolutely loved it. The staff are very nurturing and warm providing a range of stimulating activities throughout the day. I feel very reassured that while I'm at work they are in excellent hands.
From the very first time I visited Lavenders when looking at nurseries for my baby, I was impressed with the knowledgeable and friendly staff and loved how all the children there seemed happy and confident. I knew within 10 minutes that it was right for my son (and me) and was looking forward to him starting in January 2017.
My son didn't settle in as easily as I thought he would but Lavenders were great at reassuring me it was normal and suggesting ideas to help him. As he only goes for one day a week, the staff suggested we split it into two half days so that he wouldn't have a big gap between visits.
I love picking him up now and hearing about all the activities he has been doing - communication from the nursery is excellent.
I wholeheartedly recommend Lavenders.
I would definitely recommend Lavenders. My daughter is so settled there and likes all the staff. She's been going since she was 1 year old.
Everyone who works there seems to know who she is and are genuinely interested in the children.
I would definitely recommend Lavenders as a warm, friendly and caring environment for children to be cared for in.
We are very happy with Lavenders Day Nursery. Our son has fantastic care and we feel the staff all genuinely love him. I feel very at ease leaving him to go to work. Thank you.
We love all the staff at Lavenders. My son enjoys his time at nursery.
He loves the outdoor space and while he can be picky about food, they always cater for his dietary requirements and give him a good variety of foods.
Very happy with it all.
A lovely, warm and friendly nursery. Very supportive and caring.
Lavenders offers an amazing pre-school and my daughter thoroughly enjoys every aspect of attending. My daughter is making great progress in preparation for school. The staff are lovely and go over and above to reassure you as a parent and work with your child. I'm a happy mum with a happy pre-schooler! Thanks Lavenders!
Lavenders Nursery have helped my son a lot with his learning. He struggles most with his speech and they've helped bring it on.
I cannot praise this nursery enough for all they have done for our daughter. She has been attending Lavenders since she was 9 months old and is now 3. It is hard leaving your child and returning to work but the staff here have been wonderful with her and helped her development no end as well as reassuring us as parents; knowing she goes in with a smile on her face each morning makes it a little easier to leave her. Staff get to know each and every child and what makes them tick and have a clear understanding of what they need to do to help each one of them make progress; communication is very good. We love the fact the children get outdoor play every day and the range of activities they do to stimulate and inspire the children is excellent. Our daughter sometimes doesn't want to leave! We have recommended the nursery to friends and will certainly be looking for a place for our new arrival.
Our daughter loves coming to the nursery. The variety of activities is fantastic. The children have the opportunity to try many different activities; from singing, dancing, cooking to counting, writing and doing some small science experiments.
It is great preparation for school.
