We have nothing but great things to say about the Crocus nursery. Our daughter has been extremely happy here for the past three years since she was one year old. The care and professionalism of the staff is excellent. From the point of our welcome, until now we have fully appreciated the quality and personal touch of the Crocus approach. From the manager through to all other staff, we have had trust and confidence in all their efforts with our daughter. She has flourished and learnt so much in her time here and loves coming every day. Thank you.
Good variety of tasks and activities.

Professional and organised, the staff build real relationships with the kids. My daughter looks forward every day to seeing her friends which includes her teachers! My daughter has developed leaps and bounds during her time here it's difficult to quantify this since this is the only nursery we have experienced but we've been very happy with our choice since day one.
We couldn't be happier with the care my daughter has received over the last three years. She has been so happy and we will treasure the memories we have.

My daughter started at Crocus in September 2018 and has thoroughly come into her own during the year she has been there. She was initially a very shy and timid child in public, but through the nurturing of the staff there, they have really brought her out of her shell and she now has become more...
Thank you to everyone there!
The staff are professional, friendly, patient and approachable. They have taken really good care of both my boys. My children were treated with kindness and respect. I wouldn’t hesitate but to recommend this nursery.

A huge thank you to all the staff for providing a supportive and fun learning environment for our daughter during her time at Saffron Walden nursery. We’ll miss you all.

We absolutely made the right decision to bring our children to this nursery. It is managed very well with great care and efficiency. The long term staff have seen both my children move through the baby room, toddler room and pre-school and they have been guided and cared for along the way. My son...
There is the right amount of comfort and boundary setting, giggles and learning, which makes them enjoy their time there. They are prepared very well for their school years ahead and leave with good social awareness and high self-esteem. As my last child leaves the nursery for school this year, we look back over our time at Crocus early years and we are very grateful for the attention and support they have given us since 2013!
It is a fun place for children to learn and develop, meet new friends and gain new experiences, but what makes it extra special are people, both staff and the management. I always felt listened to, asked and cared for. They go above and beyond to satisfy our requests from sending detailed...
It is a fun place for children to learn and develop, meet new friends and gain new experiences, but what makes it extra special are people, both staff and the management. I always felt listened to, asked and cared for. They go above and beyond to satisfy our requests from sending detailed communication book home every day (which enabled me to be a part of my daughter's days) to preparing special homemade food for our daughter. We are immediately informed of any incidents (e.g. a fall) and if I ever was not happy about something, the matter was immediately dealt with through friendly discussion and mutual agreement. In terms of learning and development again the key workers follow the individual needs of our daughter and I feel we work together in guiding her growth, physical, emotional and social. We have had some beautiful pieces of art as a result of her daily activities at the nursery. On top of that she is learning to share, say 'please', and be both younger and older in a group.
I am a qualified level 3 myself and I just...
She starts school in September and I know they will make the transition as smooth as they can.
My son loves the baby room at Crocus. He is happy, settled and attached to his carers. The staff are caring and warm and it’s wonderful to see him happily being dropped off and smiling when collected. I can’t rate them highly enough.

My son has been with Crocus Saffron Walden Nursery for just over a year now and he absolutely loves it. The staff are amazing and always helpful and the facilities are varied with a fantastic outside area for the kids. We could not be happier with the care and sometimes can't believe our luck that we found such a wonderful place for our son. The team work closely with us on developmental milestones and always keep us informed of events at the nursery so we can be more involved in our son's care.
I have recommended Crocus Saffron Walden to two colleagues who live in the area as I really feel it's a fabulous nursery.

I could not recommend Crocus Early Years highly enough. My son has grown and developed into such a beautiful, well mannered, polite, sociable, amazing ... the list could go on and on and the team at Crocus from the very top down are all vital in aiding this. They cannot do enough for you and the effort they make with your child will ensure that your little one will remember them forever. Thank you for being the foundation on which my son will build his future.
The best experience you would want for your child. The staff took care of my child like it was one of their own. It made it so easy for us to transition from stay at home parents to having a child in nursery from 8am till 6pm.

Having a child with allergies I used to worry about (what if he eats this, or what if he eats that) and I was never let down, his allergies were well taken care of. I honestly don't know what else to say. I can tell you that if you live in the Saffron Walden area, this is the place to put your child in. They will have so much fun, they will be well taken care of. It's amazing.1000 characters is not enough to describe how awesome this place is!
This preschool ticks all the boxes. We are delighted with the provision of care, education and progress in a nurturing and fun environment. We couldn't have asked for a better preschool experience. Thank you!
