My eldest child has had a wonderful experience at Saffron Walden Crocus.
She's gained confidence and loves to come to pre-school every day.

Overall Experience

We have used the Crocus Early Years Centre since 2009 for all 3 of our children. Our third has just left preschool and we were so sorry to say goodbye. All 3 were so happy there, the staff and management look after the children so well. I don’t know how we would have coped as working parents without them! I would highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

We are really happy that we chose to send our son here. The staff are so friendly and helpful and take as much job out of our son's achievements as we do. The food is outstanding and it is so reassuring to know that our son is having such a balanced and nutritional diet when he is there.

Thank you for taking such care and attention of my daughter over the last 4 years. She has loved being at nursery and has made great memories during her time here. Thanks to the staff she is ready for school, confident and happy. I can't thank you enough.

Review from Debbie C (Mother of Child) published on 27 July 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Both our children have gone through the nursery and have loved their experience here. They built strong relationships with all their key workers, including all the staff here. My daughter is a coeliac and if it wasn't for the excellent 6F diet provided to her- her recovery from diagnosis would not have happened so quickly. The staff did a fabulous job of making her feel included. We will miss all the staff here and so will our children.

Overall Experience

The staff are very helpful and caring. They always take time to find out how the children are each morning and explain how their day has been each evening. They contact us regularly and provide weekly newsletters. I know who to contact if I need anything. Both my daughter and son have been well cared for and development has been excellent.

Overall Experience

We have had a fantastic time at Crocus Early Years. The staff have all been very caring and engaging and the twins love coming. The food is great and they have been particularly good with our fussy eater. The outside space is good and the range of activities and opportunities to learn are also first class. The twins will really miss it.

Overall Experience

Both my children have had a delightful time at Crocus Early Years. The staff are truly caring, supportive and professional. They've given my children a great basis for heading to school. So many outdoor and varied indoor activities; an onsite chef who prepares balanced, filling meals, good reporting procedures and a genuinely welcoming and understanding atmosphere.

Overall Experience
The team at Crocus Early Years really encourage learning but in a fun way. The correspondence you get is regular and informative. The staff support you if there is something you want to help your child do e.g toilet training.

There is a good variety of food which my child loves. The nursery itself is bright, open and friendly. I would highly recommend it.

Review from Victoria C (Mother of Child) published on 24 July 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Staff are fantastic - so caring towards the children and I trust them 100% with my baby.

It was a difficult time leaving my daughter at nursery at first, she was so young but the staff there made it so much easier for me.

The activities they do have really improved my daughter's skills especially social! She is so much better being around other children now.

Everything about being in this place has benefitted my daughter and I am so pleased I chose them.

Overall Experience
The nursery is fantastic. My daughter loves going to nursery and will happily wave bye to me and even walks in the door as soon as it opens without holding my hand.

I cannot thank the staff enough for their dedication and care of my daughter. It is so evident they care about her wellbeing and growth. Would highly recommend the nursery to anyone looking. I trust them truly with my precious daughter.

Review from J M (Mother of Child) published on 28 March 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter started nursery this month and the team at The Crocus have been very supportive to both our little girl and myself! We had not left our child in care before and had our concerns but the staff at the nursery helped us introduce our little girl to the setting in a way she felt relaxed as possible. Starting with an hour of play with me in the room and building up to her being left on her own for a whole morning session. Our daughter immediately bonded with her key worker which made dropping her off in the morning so much easier. Today she left me happily chatting about how she might get to see the "baby lambs" at the farm!

The Crocus have excellent food allergy policies which are re-assuring as our daughter has multiple food intolerances. They have gone out of their way to buy particular "free-from" products just for our daughter.
