He is always happy to be there, and is thriving, which is great to see!

Have had a fantastic experience with this nursery. All staff are very kind and inviting. All staff in the baby room are very helpful and have made my daughter feel very welcome especially after she struggled at the beginning All the staff were brilliant and now my daughter loves it.

Communication has been excellent, with regular updates and photos shared throughout the day via the app. We really enjoy seeing all the activities she takes part in, and we also love attending the stay-and-play sessions held throughout the year.

All of the staff are kind, caring, fun and loving. They all really create an environment for my children that feels like a home from home. It's so nice to know that I am dropping my children off each morning to a place where they are going to feel loved, safe and valued.

I can't speak highly enough of this nursery! My niece absolutely loves going - she's always so excited to see the staff and her friends each morning. The team are incredibly caring, patient, and attentive, and it's clear how much they genuinely enjoy working with the children.

The activities are always well thought out, creative, and help the children learn while having fun. I've noticed such a boost in her confidence, communication, and independence since she started here. The nursery also keeps us well-informed with regular updates and photos, which is such a lovely touch.

It's so reassuring to know she's in such a safe, nurturing, and happy environment. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent or family member looking for somewhere that truly puts the children's well-being first.

My son has been going to the nursery since he was 9 months old and the staff have always been amazing with him and he settled very quickly and is always happy to go in. He also has had lots of allergy problems and the staff and chef have been fab at accommodating him with all sorts of different foods so he is never left out. The new management have been amazing with any concerns Iv had and all the girls are so lovely and it's lovely to have peace of mind that when you drop your little one off they are safe and happy. Couldn't recommend the nursery enough x

My daughter attended this nursery for 3.5 years from when I went back to work after maternity leave. The staff were brilliant, made my daughter feel really comfortable and it was like a home from home for her. The staff are always happy to help & the nursery setting is lovely. We were sad to leave as she started primary school. Highly recommend.

I recently visited Ashbourne Day Nurseries as I'm exploring childcare options for the future, and I was really impressed. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt calm, friendly and welcoming - exactly what I'd hope for in a nursery.

The managers came across as genuinely caring and approachable, taking the time to answer all my questions and really listen to what matters to me as a parent. They were warm, professional, and clearly passionate about creating a safe and nurturing environment for the children.

The rooms were bright, clean and full of exciting activities, and the outdoor play space looked fantastic too.

I also really liked how organised everything seemed, from their daily routines to how they communicate with parents. Even as a visitor, I left feeling confident that children here are really well cared for and supported.

Ashbourne Day Nurseries has definitely left a great first impression and is high on our list of potential nurseries for the future.

Absolutely amazing nursery, staff are brilliant. Would highly recommend to friends and family. Always comes away from nursery so happy and tired at the same time. Throughly enjoys her time there and all the staff.

Very good nursery. Staff are lovely and my daughter loves her days there when I'm at work. They have a great variety of food for the kids whether it be snack or dinners, etc. The manager who runs the nursery is 10/10. Would highly recommend.

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough! From the moment you walk in, you can see how much the staff genuinely care for the children-they treat them like their own, creating a warm, nurturing, and safe environment. Every member of the team is outstanding, always going above and beyond to ensure each child feels valued, supported, and happy.

The learning opportunities here are fantastic. The staff are incredibly skilled at engaging the children in fun, educational activities that help them grow in confidence and ability. It's amazing to see how much progress they make while having such a great time!

The food is another highlight-thanks to the brilliant chef, the meals are nutritious, delicious, and well-balanced, ensuring the children are well-fed and energized throughout the day.

If you're looking for a nursery that provides exceptional care, a fantastic learning experience, and a true home-from-home atmosphere, this is the place to be!

I have had one granddaughter at the nursery that went off to school in 2024 and now have another two that have joined, so have experienced all the rooms within the nursery. The nursery staff are continuously developing the setting everyday, the front of the nursery looks fabulous. The staffing team always greet us with a snails when we arrive and make sure we have a detailed account of the children's day. The team are always ready to help when needed and answer any questions when asked.

We highly recommend Ashbourne Oxley Park to anyone looking for a nursery that goes the extra mile

Thank you! Wishing you all the best!

All the ladies that work there are very kind and helpful.

Wouldn’t send her anywhere else.

My daughter loves coming to nursery and always comes back looking like she had lots of fun. The staff and management are brilliant, super friendly and attentive. Highly recommend Ashbourne Day Nursery at Oxley Park.

I wouldn’t take my child anywhere else. I was quite nervous about my firstborn going to nursery, but I was made to feel at ease as soon as I turned up there, all the staff are brilliant and they treat each child like one of their own amazing place, would highly recommend it.

I can't praise this nursery enough, they have helped my grandson settle in quickly after a very disruptive time in his life. Management and staff have gone above and beyond to make this very stressful and emotional time in his life, a little easier. He comes home and tells me all about his day, especially enjoying the garden area. I would recommend this nursery to friends and feel confident that the best care is given.

Special shoutout to the wonderful ladies in the baby room who have not only supported his continued development but also helped encourage and support our weaning journey too. It's been amazing seeing him change and grow. These ladies are an absolute credit to this nursery and honestly feel like an extension of our own family.
