Review from Helen F (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff have been so great with helping my little boy settle and staff in other rooms remember and always say hello to my oldest child when he comes in at pick-up time. The app is great at keeping us informed about his day and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming.

Review from Naomi W (Mother of Child) published on 4 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is such a lovely nursery, they went above and beyond! My daughter unfortunately broke her leg a few weeks before she was due to start at the nursery, as a mum I found it a very stressful time. I was amazed at how much support the staff gave us as I really didn’t want her to miss out on starting with other children. Talking to their deputy manager, who was my point of contact, she made it possible (with other colleagues) for my daughter to continue with her settling in session and had put a plan in place for her to still be cared for whilst she was in cast. Luckily it was all off by the time she started properly, but really appreciated what they had done for us. She has never been in any childcare before and loves it! She runs in and gives the staff a cuddle, that alone shows that she feels safe and loved!

Review from L H (Mother of Child) published on 5 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

As a single mum I was incredibly worried about selecting the right nursery for my daughter. On visiting Spring Nursery Carousel Chapel Hill I knew immediately she would be at home. The staff are wonderful when I booked a look-around and her settling days were brilliant. Since starting at the nursery her development has come on leaps and bounds. The communication between the nursery and parents is above my expectations. If you are looking for a nursery, look nowhere else.

Overall Experience

My little girl was nine months when she started at the nursery back in January 2023. I was so nervous leaving her but was so happy as, within weeks, she was already thriving! The updates on the nursery app are fantastic; I can always check what my little girl has been up to and can communicate easily and quickly with the staff, who are also so friendly. Thank you for looking after her and helping with her development, where she is doing extremely well!

Overall Experience

My child has been at this nursery for just over six months now and is thriving. His confidence and his speech have come on so well. He always comes out happy and always gets excited about going to nursery. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends. The staff are lovely, and the communication is good.

Review from K F (Mother of Child) published on 17 January 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter started at the setting in September 22, and I am extremely happy with how the Pre-School room has supported her throughout. The team leader/deputy has gone above and beyond in ensuring she feels happy in the setting. All the Pre-School team have been very supportive towards me since starting at the setting.
The communication is strong; they use an app to pass on nursery messages, which includes a messenger, so I am easily able to send a message to them at any time and vice versa. The app also allows me to see updates on my daughter and what they are focusing on development-wise.

Overall, I am very happy with the Pre-School team and appreciate the effort they put into looking after my daughter.

Review from Louise M (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
An incredible nursery. The staff are so lovely; they become a part of an 'extended family' which makes drop-off a breeze and knowing the children are in such safe hands keeps me at peace in the day.
The rooms are kitted out with so many toys/activities you couldn't need or want for more. The menu is a wide variety of different flavours/tastes and textures, alot of food we wouldn't have at home.

Highly highly recommended

Very friendly staff. Management is very helpful and supportive.
My child loves their time at nursery and is always happy when I arrive.
Very focused on areas of need with my child and detailed observations, which are lovely to read also.

I like to be involved with their learning and development at the nursery and feel that I am included in this.

Review from Najette M (Mother of Child) published on 2 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My 16-month-old daughter loves this nursery, and so do I. From visiting for the tour, we felt positive about this setting. Settling in was a smooth transition. The staff are warm, friendly, positive and encouraging. My daughter eats well, naps and looks like she's having a blast from what I see on the app (which is fantastic, and the app is too - it is updated with observations and photos swiftly).
I have a little lady who is very happy to attend each day.

I would highly recommend Spring Nursery Carousel Chapel Hill.

Review from Eutecia J (Mother of Child) published on 19 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
After attempting another nursery for my daughter and her not settling in.

We came to Spring Nursery, and my daughter settled in right away from the get-go. She loves going to nursery, and anything we do at home at the nursery will continue with the same support. For example, using the toilet and potty training. The nursery is very accommodating and supportive. The staff are brilliant and keep you well informed of everything that’s happened, from eating to using napping and applying creams. My daughter is happy there, and I couldn’t have asked for a better nursery for her to start her education journey.

Review from Lisa P (Mother of Child) published on 6 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Amazing nursery. My son started in December 2021. He has a few problems and is on a waiting list; this nursery has helped massively. I can’t thank them enough for all the time and effort they have done with my son. Seeing my son develop has been amazing, even if it is baby steps. I can’t thank them enough, from the bottom of my heart, they have done amazing. I thank all the girls so much who have helped my son in the last 6/7 months. Since my son joined, I’ve never had a problem or had to complain about anything at all; they understand everything. Would defo recommend them to family and friends.

Review from Stacy G (Mother of Child) published on 6 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending this setting since January 2021. She has really started to come out of her shell since moving into the older room and has made some lovely friends. Her best friend is one of the key workers, who she adores and will always go to her when she is feeling sad or just for a cuddle! They have all been so good with my little one, and I have 100 per cent confidence that she is safe and happy when I leave her in the mornings. The staff at Carousel are all friendly and welcoming, which has made a safe and happy environment for my little one, helping her to grow.

All my children have attended this nursery, and I've never once had an issue with it. All the staff are so lovely and attentive, nothing ever seems to be an issue, especially as I’m over-cautious. I’d recommend this nursery 100%.

Review from L T (Mother of Child) published on 8 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son loves this nursery, and its staff are incredibly accommodating. You receive regular updates and learning milestones updates, and the food they serve is interesting, if not a little grown-up for the younger children, but in my opinion, that's great for developing tastebuds to explore a range of new flavours! It is expensive in comparison to childminders prices, but with the funded hours and extra help available it's more than worth it to have them in a more school-like setting.

My son has been attending this nursery for almost a year now, and I can honestly say, the bond he has created with the staff there is extraordinary. I am so impressed with how his speech and other skills have come along in this time. The communication we receive from the staff is amazing. I am very happy with his placement at this nursery.
