Review from S F (Mother of Child) published on 18 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has attended Palace Day Nursery since he was 10 months old, he is now 4. The staff have always been very supportive and he has developed a lovely bond with them. We have found them to be very organised. The nursery is well managed, and we are kept up to date with his progress through regular updates and photos of what he' s been up to. Also, parents evenings are arranged every year where we have the opportunity to discuss our son's progress in person. The staff are also prompt to tell us if he is unwell, has a temperature and needs us to confirm that they can give him Calpol. He is always happy when we pick him up which is a testament to all the good work the staff do. I would definitely recommend this nursery, everything is well managed, the staff are amazing and my son has grown so much since attending.

Review from Abi C (Mother of Child) published on 16 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter absolutely loves attending this nursery. She goes in happily every single day, and the progress she has made since joining has been incredible. The staff are so friendly and clearly know her very well, which gives me so much confidence as a parent. The manager communicates brilliantly and always keeps us informed.

The activities and experiences they provide are fantastic - just in the past month they've had Music Bugs, a visit from a police car, and even a fire engine. The app they use to inform parents is fantastic, we receive daily updates and regular pictures of what she has been up to. It's a wonderful, nurturing environment, and I couldn't be happier with the care she receives.

My grandson has been attending the nursery since he was 5 months old and he absolutely loves it. The staff are very friendly and are eager to answer any questions. The changes that have happened over the last couple of years have made such a big difference. We have found them extremely supportive throughout all room moves my grandson has. He continues to thrives through their love and care x

Review from Holly F (Mother of Child) published on 16 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter who is 3.5 years old, has been attending Palace Day Nursery since she was 9 months old. The staff are exceptional, they go above and beyond everday helping give guidance, advice and more importantly reassurance and compassion. My daughter absolutely loves the team and it's wonderful being able to see updates of her day on the app which they regularly update. The handovers are thorough at the end of the day, again, reassuring you that your child has been in good and caring hands. They offer a variety of delicious and varied food and provide fun activities and extra curricular sports keeping days exciting and different.

I would highly recommend the nursery to everyone.

Overall Experience

Palace day nursery is a wonderful nursery. My daughter absolutely loves going in every day! The staff are all very engaging and patient with all the children and provide many different activities to keep them all entertained! Every day I pick up my daughter and notice she has learnt something new, whether it is a new word, counting more, recognising colours or a new skill. I can not thank them enough for how amazing they are! Whilst it is smaller than other nurseries especially the chain ones, it gives a more homely feel which I think is lovely!

Our little girl has been at the nursery for almost 2 years and has grown so much in confidence since being there. The staff are helpful and lovely and their communication with parents is excellent. I can't recommend The Palace Day nursery enough. We will be sad to say goodbye when she starts school in September.

It has been wonderful to watch her confidence grow and find her voice :)

We will all miss F when she spreads her wings and goes on to School.

My child has been attending since May 2025 and initially was difficult for him as would be for any child. He loves it now and is ready every morning for nursery. In terms of development we have noticed significant changes in our son. The staff have been a massive help to him. Thank you Palace Day Nursery!! Would highly recommend.

Review from E D (Mother of Child) published on 11 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I just want to say how incredibly grateful I am for the care and support my child has received at The Palace Day Nursery. From the very first day, I felt confident that we had made the right choice. The team is so warm, approachable, and clearly passionate about what they do.
I've seen such a wonderful change in my child since starting nursery-more confidence, better communication, and a real enthusiasm for learning and exploring. They come home happy, full of stories, and always excited to go back the next day.
What I appreciate most is how the nursery creates a safe, nurturing space where every child is seen and valued. The activities are thoughtful and engaging, and I love how the staff encourage kindness, independence, and curiosity.

It's such a comfort knowing my child is in an environment where they're not only learning but truly thriving. Thank you for everything you do-it means so much to our family.

Reply from Lisa Blake, Manager at The Palace Day Nursery

Review from L G (Mother of Child) published on 10 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started in October and was very emotional to start with, within two weeks when dropping her off although she was upset she went to one of the girls with open arms. I have seen my little girl improve in so many different areas and become a lot more confident when being around other children. The girls at the palace day nursery are all amazing, they all look after my little one and she has grown an inseparable bond with a few of the girl that work here. I cannot fault the care and commitment the nursery has to the children in their care. Couldn't recommend the nursery enough!

Reply from Lisa Blake, Manager at The Palace Day Nursery

Many Thanks for your kind words. We strive to ensure that every child that comes through our door feels safe, secure and happy. Its also just as important to us that you feel comfortable and trust us to do the very best for daughter every time she attends.We look forward to seeing you soon as her journey with us continues.

Overall Experience

The staff are so caring and nurturing and it’s clear to see how much they genuinely care about each and every child. My little boy absolutely loves going to nursery and has settled in really well! They do so many activities to engage the children, it’s so lovely to see what they get up to each week. If I’ve ever needed to speak to someone they are really helpful and accommodating and always willing to make time for you to have a chat.

Lisa Blake

Hi, I’m Lisa Blake and I am the Nursery Manager. I have over 30 years’ experience working within childcare. I enjoy working with all the different age groups and particularly enjoy getting hands on with messy play and exploring the different textures and materials on offer for the children. I strongly believe that learning is developed, nurtured and expanded through mirroring and encouraging positive inclusive play, allowing the children to think for themselves and learn through challenges and achievements. I hold a Level 3 in Childcare and Education and a BTEC diploma in Health Studies and Social Care, Pediatric First Aid, DSL (Safeguarding Lead), Safer Recruitment and Food Hygiene certificates.
