Seabrook Day Nursery (Luton)

My daughter is enjoying her sessions at Seabrook. She likes all the activities and is comfortable when I leave her. Thank you for all that the staff does.

One practitioner in particular is always so helpful and always happy to help. She always goes above and beyond. My little boy is always happy around her.

Excellent nursery, my daughter is thriving here. She loves coming every day and I feel she is safe and loved.

My child loves her day at nursery each week and has been learning lots of new things. Staff are really kind and friendly, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with her.

Fantastic nursery! My daughter thoroughly enjoys her time in the Ladybird room. I would recommend the nursery to all parents!

Great place for young children. Welcoming staff. My son has learnt a lot and development has been great since he joined. Seabrook always keeps us updated.

My son loves the different variety of activities. His vocabulary has significantly improved. He has so much fun.

Our daughter and son both attended Seabrook. We have had an extremely positive experience. The staff take great care and support the kids fully on their learning journey. All staff are a pleasure to deal with. We will miss Seabrook greatly.

Overall great experience, very caring staff, made my daughter feel at home.

My daughter has come on leaps and bounds at this nursery. The staff are friendly, caring and knowledgeable. My daughter is always excited to come to nursery every day to see the staff and her friends.

A truly wonderful nursery. Our son was at Seabrook from eight months of age and has just left ready to start big school. The staff have been so kind, loving and dedicated. They really do go above and beyond. The facilities, although on a small site, are remarkable and it is a beautiful, nurturing environment. Our son has thrived at the nursery. We were so sad to say goodbye. Any child that attends Seabrook will, without doubt, have a wonderful start in their education.

Soon after joining Seabrook, we found out that our son has delayed Speech and Language due to deafness caused by glue ear which lasted 10 months. Our son has been under their care since 2021 and his keyworker has been instrumental in his gradual development. When she took over as his key worker, our son was not able focus for more than 5 seconds, was unable to follow instructions, was almost non-verbal and therefore unable to express himself, his emotions and needs. Essentially, he was way back of where he should have been. His keyworker gave him the attention and aids he required to turn this around. She implemented 'bucket time' to slowly increase his focus so that now he can focus for 20 mins, she introduced one-on-one interaction with herself and slowly introduced other children. She gave us regular verbal updates but also updates via the parents' app. She also used several different approaches and techniques to improve his vocabulary and choice boards, etc but also willing to take on suggestions from us as well. She was also able to make him more independent and follow instructions such as wash your hands, empty his plates after eating a meal, etc. She also spotted that our son was gifted in other areas in that he could read at the age of 4 and recite and recognise numbers up-to 300 and then built on this. Rest assured that if this staff member is looking after your child that they are in the best of hands. My wife and I would like to thank her from the bottom of our hearts and will forever be indebted to her. She is an absolute star. The head of SENDCO at Seabrook has been very supportive in terms of helping us applying for a school placement (we got our 1st choice) for our son and helped us with necessary and numerous reports, forms, assessment and most importantly the EHCP application which was successfully granted which is so important that our son receives the support required when he moves on from Seabrook. She was ever so accommodating in terms of having catch-ups and answering our queries, gave us regular reviews and meetings. She also chased Central Bedfordshire Council regarding the EHCP application. Another time, she went above and beyond for us was when she escorted our son to visit his new school (part of the transition). A huge thank you to the staff for making our son's time at Seabrook so enjoyable. Also, to the staff member who looked after our son right at the start and noticed he might have an issue with his hearing.

The bad outweighed the good, but because my daughter had a good relationship with her direct carers, I should simply highlight where it went wrong. A very good experience with the direct carers of my daughter with autism, as well as the manager of Seabrook. However, my review should reflect on the many bad experiences I’ve encountered with the other staff members’ professionalism, which involved safeguarding concerns, as well as rudeness and lacking courteousness, especially when the manager isn’t present. In attempts of highlighting the issues, in writing, the couple of them, patronisingly says “I’m sorry you feel that way” instead of taking culpability for their actions. To add, ever since I reported a safeguarding incident, I’ve not been treated with kindness and decorum. Very disappointed.

I cannot fault any staff in the ladybird room. They treat my son like their own and it shows through his development.

Excellent staff, very caring and accodating. Clean and tidy environment. My daughter is very happy here.

The staff member who works in the room my little boy is in is always very reassuring when I drop my son off and has been supportive as he's settled in.

My son has adapted tremendously well at Seabrook. The staff are amazing and really encourage him to develop to the best of his abilities. They are very supportive of his development and focus on areas he is struggling with. The environment is always clean and welcoming. Sometimes, my son doesn't want to go home - that's how much he loves it!

My son has been attending since he was 10 months old and is sadly leaving this August to start Reception at Primary school. Throughout his early years, this nursery have been amazing. They have kept us updated with all his progress, they helped when we started potty training and they continue to give him the highest level of care. He has learnt so much in Preschool 2, he knows shapes which I probably didn’t know at his age, and he is thoroughly prepared for school. We will be very sad to say goodbye to all the wonderful staff and there will be tears from us parents.

Excellent nursery. My daughter loves to come every day.

Very happy with the care and how well my child is settling in. Lovely staff, so caring. Thank you!
