Review from Lauren L (Mother of Child) published on 21 December 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I would be more than happy to recommend Grasshoppers Day Nursery. Taking your child to the nursery for the first time can be daunting for any parent and I was terrified on that first day! I was met by the staff who were extremely comforting and welcoming. They immediately showed an interest in my daughter and helped her to settle in nicely. I left the nursery, after dropping her off and tried to sneak away thinking she would react better, however, she caught me leaving (my heart sunk) and then she came over to me, said goodbye and toddled off to play house with a member of staff! I almost skipped out of the door! Since then my daughter has bonded so well with all the staff and other children and loves Nursery days! She has also developed in so many areas and loves learning new things! Wouldn't consider sending her anywhere else.

Overall Experience
Our daughter is in the Pre school room now and loves it. We find all the staff kind and caring.
All the staff in the nursery know the children's names in other room and they all know the staff.

The garden is fantastic. The toys and space they have to enjoy is amazing and one of the many reasons why we choice this nursery, as our daughter is an outside child.

Overall Experience

Our child is very happy at Grasshoppers. He started at 13 months old and is now 2 and a half years. He has made wonderful progress in all aspects of his development, and we believe it is also thanks to Grasshoppers. The friendships he developed with children and adults and being involved in fun group activities, playing, singing and dancing. Staff are always very welcoming, caring, kind and able to answer questions anytime. The Parent Zone app is great, as it puts a smile on my face to see our boy exploring and having fun when we are at work., We're very happy that kids spend time outdoors too! Highly recommended.

Overall Experience

The staff at the nursery are very friendly and helpful. Our son loves playing outside and has had a lot of support to adapt to his new environment. We are very pleased that our son is attending Grasshoppers and I think the parent zone is a brilliant idea. To keep parents up-to-date with the little one's progress.

Overall Experience

Great members of the team in pre-school. They all made my daughter feel welcome and involved from day one. One of the nursery practitioners provides great feedback after every session, treating/recalling all children individually. I am also provided with great feedback online to comment on. The nursery team leader made settling in and understanding parental aspects easy and comfortable. Another one of the nursery practitioners is always welcoming to my daughter, ensuring she is settled and answers any questions or queries.

A very caring environment where the staff members clearly care a lot for the children they are taking care of. Communication skills are very good from the nursery and as parents we were kept well informed on our child's day/how she had been in herself.

Our daughter loves coming to nursery, she has a big smile across her face from the moment we pull into the care park. The staff seem very caring and affectionate, ensuring we feel confident our daughter is in a safe, educational and supportive environment.

Nothing is ever too much trouble for any of the staff and we have and will continue to sing your praises and recommend you at any relevant opportunity. All that is left to say is thank you!!

Overall Experience

We are very lucky to have found Grasshoppers. Our son is very happy here, has lots of fun and asks for the staff at weekends too. For us as parents, knowing that he is happy and able to learn and explore in a safe, clean and friendly environment makes it much easier getting on with our work day. We find the email communication with the next weeks planned activities useful and appreciate the daily feedback too. Highly recommended.

Lovely friendly nursery. My child is always very well cared for and happy. Everything is very straightforward and documented. Lots of different activities to keep baby's happy. My child has very good connection with her key worker and that puts me in ease to know she has somebody to turn to when she needs while I am in work.

Both my boys love/d nursery and are/were very happy there. They gained valuable social skills interacting with the staff and loved the food. The opening hours make work-life balance possible and even though expensive it provides good opportunities for development and play

Overall Experience

Thank you so much for offering my son and daughter such a wonderful experience at nursery. They love to come to nursery and always seem to come home talking about all the fun things they have done in their day. I have observed that my daughter's talking has now developed well while at nursery and my son has appreciated the social learning from the setting. Unfortunately, due to me taking maternity leave the children cannot continue to attend the nursery. We are very excited about having a new member of the family on the way. Thank you again. Grasshoppers is such a lovely nursery setting and I would recommend it highly to anyone who asked.

Overall Experience

We have been impressed with how well the staff have ensured a smooth transition for our 2 daughters who started last September. Everyone is friendly, helpful and professional. We are kept very well informed of our children's day and also of the weekly/monthly goings on. It is comforting to see the creative planning displayed in the pre-school room and how the staff follow the children's interests. The rooms are always set up with well thought through attractive and stimulating activities when we drop off in the morning. Both our children are happy to be left with the staff.

My son loves going to nursery twice a week and adores his key worker. He seems to do a good range of activities and his key worker is always happy to give us a good update of what he's been up to. Everyone in the nursery is friendly and helpful and I am very pleased with our choice.

We are happy with the grasshoppers nursery. When our son started there at 13 months old we were anxious to start with but he settled very well thanks to the support from the staff. The meals are well balanced and the out door space is excellent. We're very happy with the building, equipment, staff as well as the activities for the children. We would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents, even the car parking is easy! very friendly staff but very professional too!
