Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Oxley Park

The staff are amazing at helping my daughter settle each morning as changing rooms has not been easy, they do all they can to make her happy which means I can leave knowing my daughter is ok. Some evenings she does not even want to come home. She has made such great friendships with the staff and other children. I'm so happy my daughter goes to this nursery, she loves Christmas and the disco. The staff do so much and more.

I like that they celebrate lots of different holidays and cultural days and events and that my son is learning another language - Spanish.

Keep up the good work.

I'm really glad I placed my daughter in the nursery. She learns such a lot and has loads of fun. She eats lovely nutritious meals and has come on leaps and bounds with her potty training due to the excellent and very knowledgeable staff. I love reading about what she's been up to on the EY Log. Management has always been extremely helpful, kind and supportive. Nothing is too much trouble. Can't thank the staff enough!

My son has really enjoyed his time at Ashbourne (2.5 years). The staff always ensure there are plenty of activities and lots of different toys to play with.

The staff are very caring and show a genuine interest in children's development and have done a good job preparing my son for school and me! My son has loved learning Spanish.

Well done!

Nice friendly staff, great variety of things for my boy to learn in Ladybugs room. My little one has only been here about 4 months now and he is comfortable going and clearly learns a few things. They have a good selection of food which my little one loves and it's always clean.

Like most parents, I was a bit worried about going back to work and leaving my 8-month-old son in nursery but I didn't need to be! I have been really pleased with the level of care and attention my son has received while at Ashbourne. He is always delighted to attend and clearly loves the staff who have been wonderful in making him welcome and helping him to settle in.

They really engage with the children and it is obvious that the children's welfare and happiness is of paramount importance to them. There is also a range of activities on offer and there doesn't seem to be ever a dull moment! My son particularly enjoys the musical activities! Thank you for the wonderful care you have given my son so far :)

Our son has been happy from day one, thanks to the staff who have bene welcoming. The room is big, lots of different activities and various learning activities. We like the outdoor activities and healthier eating (compared to other places). Improvements might be needed to protect children's clothes when painting as our son always has dirty clothes when picked up. Implementing key fob to get into the nursery, as sometimes unfriendly parents shut the door at you because they believe you should ring the bell by yourself and get recognised by the staff. Not happy about that.

My child has her ups and downs with this nursery, some days she likes it, other days she doesn't - I never had this problem with my oldest who went to a different nursery. The nursery itself appears to be clean and most of the time the children look happy and well cared for. Considering there are 20- 30 children in my daughters class I'm amazed that the staff can reel off that my daughter has "eaten everything" and slept for an hour and a half without looking at their logs. Clearly, their memories are better than mine. All that being said, I've seen worse and my little one is doing ok there. The garden is small but they've done a nice job of it, the parking is a nightmare (not the nurseries fault) and getting into the building can be frustrating, especially when you eventually get in and discover the staff just "couldn't be bothered" to get the door. Average nursery for the price. Some of the staff are amazing, others need more training on how to talk to adults.

My son really enjoys to go to the nursery and he has lots of different activities there. They play in the garden, listen to music, dance, eat different food every day and have different toys to entertain themselves.

I just want to give my thanks to all the nursery staff for their amazing job, I recommend this nursery to everyone who wants to feel comfortable to leave your child in the nursery because you will be sure they are going to have a good time.

A warm and welcoming staff who are all very helpful in assisting me with my newborn and my 1-year-old! My child seems very happy to be at this nursery and willingly goes to the ladies in the baby room. The staff in there are always happy, polite and positive and give me time and attention. They are very personable. I am regularly sent photos of my child along with an observation and which EYFS objective he is demonstrating. Staff are quick to reply to emails and are very accommodating with requests.

My experience so far has been great. The care provided by the nursery is top quality. My son has really flourished being at Ashbourne and any criticism I've had, they have taken on board and made changes. I'd recommend them to everyone I know.

Our 2.5 year old loves Ashbourne Day Nursery. She started at 3 months old in the baby room and has progressed through to the toddler room. The staff are so lovely and so flexible we have changed her days quite a lot over the last 6 months and they are so accommodating. She really enjoys going and I love that I don't have to do messy play at home! We all love it there so much that when we moved house we looked at other nurseries but decided to stay here, despite it being the other side of town.

We are very happy with the staff. They are very kind and very friendly. For one of my children this new routine wasn't OK and the staff helped us a lot to make that moment easier. The food is OK and my children like it but they have sometimes same desserts with a lots of sugar like chocolate pudding. The sugar is not healthy and someday they have more than it's recommended. The brunch nappy is not really good.

My 3 year old enjoys coming to the nursery. She is now in the pre-school room which she enjoys even more. The food is cooked fresh in the nursery and is well balanced for the kids. The menu is always on display as well as a chart showing how much my child has eaten. The staff are energetic, fun and have a positive relationship with the kids. I have seen a massive development in her writing/mark making. The staff always make sure the kids have fresh air and get involved with their outdoor play. The outdoor facilities are improving and exciting new things being added each term. Great communication with parents and excellent management. An added bonus are the organised trips out and "Theatre bugs" visits which my child loves. The nursery has a lovely library and book department. I also love the multi-cultural days.

Nursery recently took the children on a trip to the farm which my daughter loved. The nursery also held a tea party for Mother's Day and made some very special cards. It was delightful to visit the nursery for longer than just drop off and pick up. The children were all enjoying a story when I arrived, all sitting very engaged, and then enjoyed some songs and dancing. Well done on making such a pleasant visit for mums.

I am very happy with the nursery. All the staff are fantastic and the activities are very good!

We are very satisfied with the Ashbourne Day Nursery. Very caring and friendly staff at nursery makes us feel secured while at work leaving our little one in their hands. Our son absolutely adores them all. They do several activities throughout the week which helps my son's overall growth.

My son has attended this nursery since he was 8 months old and right from the start I felt comfortable and at ease leaving him at the nursery. The environment is clean, the staff are warm and professional and he looks like he is well cared for. He enjoys coming to Ashbourne and even asks to be taken to preschool on a weekend. He also enjoys the food and has formed a nice relationships with both friends and his teachers. Ashbourne is a fantastic nursery.

My daughter has attended nursery since she was 6 months old. She has grown to love nursery and all the staff over the years. I have always found the staff friendly and welcoming and have always dealt with my daughter very well. She has now graduated from nursery and is heading to school full time.
