Our son, who is nearly 4, absolutely loves Spring Carousel Nursery. He has built a great bond with his key workers as well as his little friends and clearly feels happy, safe, and relaxed in the setting. This is the second time we've chosen this nursery as our older son was there as well and once again it has been a wonderful experience. We would highly recommend it to other parents.
Thank you for your review! We are so glad that you returned with your second child and that your happy with the setting.
The team are really lovely and she feels safe and is very confident to go in. The team are quick to answer any questions that you might have
Kind Regards.
My three year old has been here for a year and a half and have never had any problems, staff are amazing, great variety in healthy food for the children and I find all staff very kind caring and attentive, they have listened to all my needs for my child and have met every requirement needed for him. Would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We are so glad we are able to help and support you with your child's needs. Kind Regards.
My eldest son attended this nursery and they were so welcoming and really helped him settle in. They were so attentive and really paid attention to his interests. I was amazed at how much he learned from his days at nursery. My younger son now attends and the staff have been just as consistent with him as they were his brother. They set up fun activities everyday and really help encourage their development. Every member of staff has been friendly and helpful, cannot recommend this nursery enough!
Thank you so much for your review! We are so glad your happy with the staff and the setting and what we have to offer!
I was worried about my son resuming the nursery but the way the staff was very receptive made me change my mind. It's been an awesome experience and my son is happy to resume school . A huge well done to all the staff and management of the school
Thank you for your review! We were so glad we were able to support you with your worries. I am so glad your son is enjoying the setting!
We couldn't be happier with this nursery. Both of my children settled in so well from the very beginning, which really put my mind at ease. The staff are incredibly approachable and genuinely feel like an extension of our family.
Carly, the manager, is so down to earth and approachable, and nothing is ever too much trouble - you always feel listened to and supported. Georgina has also been a pivotal part of both of our children settling in and feeling comfortable, and her care and reassurance have made such a positive difference. Saying that all team members are amazing!
This nursery came highly recommended to me by my colleagues, and I now continue to recommend it to others without hesitation. They truly go above and beyond with their activities, parent evenings, and the educational learning they provide. We feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful nurse
Thank you for your review. We are so glad your happy with the service we provide!

Very happy to have sent my daughter here.
Thank you all for everything :)
Thank you for your review! We are so glad she is beginning to settle and enjoy nursery! Kind Regards.
The staff are just exceptional at the nursery. They take fantastic care of my son and I feel like they are just as invested in his development as myself. He loves being there and doing all the fun activities!
Thank you for your review. I am so glad your son enjoys all our fun activities!
My son started back in September 2025 and wow I cannot fault the care he has received. The staff go above and beyond for all the children. And it is quite obvious how much they genuinely care for the children. Communication is brilliant and although it felt quite daunting leaving my baby for the first time I always feel updated on what he is up too and love seeing the photos at the end of the day to see what he's been up too. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your lovely review. I am so glad that your happy with the care your son has received.
I am truly grateful for the exceptional care my son received. The staff showed such kindness and compassion throughout his time there. It made all the difference. My boy had an amazing learning experience
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're delighted that he had such a fantastic experience with us at Spring Carousel!
The communication between staff and parents on the app is excellent, from room staff and management and I love how many opportunities we get to be involved, wether it be stay and plays or opportunities to opinions too. Jade and Carly are both friendly and approachable and all staff are always so friendly and welcoming, my little boy loves nursery, which makes life much easier for me.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We were so glad we were able to give him the best start and you feel so supported by us at Spring Carousel.
After keeping my son at home with me until he was 3 years old, I finally caved and decided to send him to nursery two afternoons a week to socialise with other children his age... I had been told soo much good about Spring Carousel Chapel Hill. I decided this was the best place for my sons needs and honestly I do not regret that choice... The workers are always soo happy and supportive with the children. My son doesn't stop telling me about all his learnt throughout the afternoon. I've never struggled to get my son into nursery... only out off there as he loves it that much he doesn't want to come home. The team in his room have always gone the extra mile to make sure us parents are aware of what subjects they're learning and what skills they are focussing on. I feel asif I know everything my son gets up to while his at nursery, so I'm never left feeling unsure to how his day has been. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough!
Thankyou for your kind review. We are so pleased you decided to join spring and start your nursery journey with us. Its amazing to hear him talk about all the fun things he's been learning here and taking it all in his stride. Kind regards
With daily updates from food, toilet and nap posts. I love that we get daily photos, watching our children play happy with all there new friends.
Couldn't recommend this nursary and the staff enough.
Thankyou so much for your kind review. We are pleased you returned with your little one to carry on your spring journey. The staff have so much fun making him laugh which really helps his transition leaving you. Kind regards
This nursery is excellent! The staff in explorers and management are accommodating, kind and create a lovely warm and inviting environment. We originally started with mornings but my son just wasn't getting along with it and the staff happily changed to afternoons for us and were so understanding. The nursery have been so great with helping my son through the journey of his start at nursery, keeping me up to date in how he is and he has really warmed to everyone! I would highly highly recommend!
Thankyou so much for your kind review. Were so pleased we could accommodate the afternoons and have really seen him flourish since being with us at Spring.
My son started this nursery a few months ago, and having never been to any other nursery before he was very new to it and was a bit nervous and emotional. But within a couple of weeks or so he is now so comfortable and excited to go in and will walk straight into his room. The staff have been incredible, always so caring and helpful, and always let us know how our son has got on in the day. I love seeing the posts on the app each day too about what they have been doing in the day and the photos. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.
Thankyou so much for your kind review! He has settled so well With us and we love being able to share with you all about his day. Kind regards
My daughter started with the nursery in February 2025 at only 10 months old when I returned to work after maternity leave. I was quite nervous to leave her at such a young age but I really had nothing to worry about. The staff at the nursery are lovely and helped her to settle in. Communication is great through the messaging portal on the app, responses are quick and I can check for updates throughout the day to see how she is getting on. There is a great variety of food and snacks each week and her food intolerances are catered for well. My daughter has come on so much since she started there and she gets excited every morning when we arrive in the car park to drop her off!
Thankyou for your kind review, im so pleased that she has settled so well with us and has so much fun. Its lovely to hear that our communication is great too. Thankyou for choosing Spring Carousel for your nursery journey. Kind regards
The staff are amazing, quite a few changes though however my son seemed to manage well with this. He does have special needs and they are brilliant with him and a massive praise to the manager who supports where she can on helping with getting him into the car. I feel maybe they could be more variety used of the day I.e bubble room and maybe move activities to outdoors on good weather days. Also the food although I put low stars it's brilliant and healthy food just unfortunately my child doesn't eat it or much and it has been raised a few times and I do worry he doesn't eat enough. Amazing communication with parents via the app and email notifications with all updates through his day. My 13 year old went here back then they did a mini sports day and plays so maybe something to consider..Though all these years later now his little brother is here and I still wouldn't choose anywhere else. Amazing place and staff always see smiling children when I pick him up.
Thank you for your feedback. We really do value our parents feedback to ensure we can further improve your experience and our services we provide.
