My son absolutely loves going to nursery. On days off, he wakes up and goes straight to his backpack because he still wants to go. That alone says everything. I can see how he learns something new every single day, and the communication with the nursery has been excellent throughout.
I would like to thank all the teachers, and especially Jasmine, who is my son's key teacher. He clearly adores her - I can see it in his smile every time he sees her in the room. Knowing he feels safe, happy, and loved there means the world to me.
Highly recommend

He is currently in the toddler room, he again quickly settled and now loves coming to nursery. His communication and social skills are developing rapidly all thanks to the skilled professionals.
Akhter nursery is such a welcoming and friendly place. I have already signed my new baby up to start in September, I look forward to watching him blossom too.
Thank you for your kind words, it makes us happy knowing we are on the right track! we also look forward to your new baby starting with us in September. Team Akhter
I'm so happy I chose this nursery, all the staff members are absolutely amazing and the bond my son has with his teachers I honestly couldn't ask for more, always keeps you up to date with the app and there's always videos and pictures showing you what your child/children get up to during the day 1000% recommend x
Thank you for your kind words, all staff enjoy their jobs which makes it easier to teach the children through play. Team Akhter

This is the best nursery, I am now here with my second child who has attended since she was 1. She was a nervous emotional baby starting and now she is thriving with the help of the staff and the great facilities. The staff in the rooms are amazing, the office staff are so helpful.
Thank you for your kind words, We agree with you ' we are the best' :) we are happy, you are happy! Thank you for choosing us! Team Akhter
They looked after my son very well he learnt a lot I can see so much difference before & after.
Their food is really good my son loved it.
He loved the music and movement sessions - he was singing the songs nonstop at home . And the arts & crafts were a hit too, he's got a whole bunch of masterpieces to show for it .
Thank you for your kind words, we are happy that you are happy! Team Akhter
My little one enjoys time there, she's happy every time when we go to the nursery..teachers are lovely and very helpful! I see after my kid how wonderful job they're doing! Can't imagine better place for her
Thank you for your kind response, we are so glad you are enjoying your journey with us! Team Akhter x
Each room from baby through to pre school have been fantastic. Especially as he has extra needs, nothing is ever too much trouble. First aid when needed was prompt and efficient. Support and understanding from all staff members was impeccable. Highly recommend Akhter.
Thank you for your kind words. He has been a pleasure to watch grow, he has come so far and is able to do so much for himself, well done O!!Good luck on your next journey together From Team Akhter

Thank you for your kind words, Toddlers room staff enjoyed having him, he has come so far! Team Akhter
Can not fault this nursery! My son attends and has just finished his first year at nursery. He wasn't very happy to begin with but the staff looked after him and after a few weeks he was so happy to go into nursery and made very strong relationships with the staff.
Thank you for your kind words, we enjoyed having him, he has done so will! Kind regards Team Akhter
Amazing place, even more amazing staff! My son is just about to finish his first year here he loves it! He always comes home happy and we have not had a single problem since he's started. They also were so helpful when we potty trained him which made things a lot easier for us and him. Highly recommend!
Thank you for taking the time to review our setting. We enjoy what we do and ensure children and staff are happy Team Akhter
My 3-year-old loved every day at the nursery. She went happy and always left with a smile. She had lots of friends at the nursery she said, she did a lot of lovely activities like planting plants, learnt new songs and the alphabet. They also taught her how to paint with different materials. We are happy with her teachers and the organisation in general. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind feed back, Please let us know how your feel we can improve on our safeguarding, it is paramount to us that parents feel we keep their children safe. We have 3' level 3s' SG officers, all doors have locks or high handles /card readers, we have cctv throughout our building,...
My child is very happy there and the staff are always so helpful and kind. Had no issues at all since she has been there. They were very patient with settling in and tried to stick to her routine as much as possible to make the transition easier.
Thank you for your kind words, we so enjoy having her. She has come on in leaps and bounds and is really a pleasure to have, thank you for choosing us. Team Akhter
I can only say positive things about Akhter, my son absolutely loves going to nursery, he has amazing bonds with the staff and more happy to be handed to them, he always comes home clean, happy and well fed, staff are always very informative with what my son has done during his stay such as how much he has eaten, time he's slept and achievements throughout the day, I always feel my son is safe and extremely well cared for whilst there. Would definitely recommend.
What lovely words to read, such a happy little boy! Thank you for your kind words Team Akhter
We've had a great experience with the nursery. The staff are always welcoming, kind, and genuinely care about the children. My daughter has settled in well and comes home happy and confident. I've noticed a big improvement in her speech, social skills, and independence since she started. The environment feels safe and engaging, with a variety of fun and educational activities throughout the day.
Communication with parents is good, and I appreciate the updates and photos that help me stay informed. I feel confident that my child is well looked after and supported, and I'm grateful to have found a setting where she feels secure and happy.
Would just say the garden space for me isn't enough for my daughter because she loves to be outdoors which is why I'm moving her to a different nursery.
We do have 5 gardens for children to play and learn in. We have 6 learning rooms and only two don't have gardens attached however, they are still able to use any of the 5 gardens during the day. The Sensory garden is around the back and not seen as it is closed in by the building next door however,...
Welcoming and friendly staff, they're great at interacting with the kids and my Sons confidence has grown since being there within a short time (he started about 3 months ago). He has almost finished for the summer & I look forward to him returning in September and continuing to learn & grow.
We also look forward to the new term and thank you for sharing your son with us. Thank you for taking the time to review our setting. We enjoy what we do and ensure children and staff are happy Team Akhter
I'm so glad I chose this nursery for my son. It's a warm, welcoming environment where he not only has fun but is also encouraged to explore and learn new things every day.
He's currently in the Hedgehogs room, having recently transitioned from the baby room. The staff in both rooms were incredibly supportive and made the move seamless and reassuring for him. Their calm and caring approach really helped him settle in with ease.
All of the staff are genuinely kind, attentive, and nurturing. My son always comes home excited to share what he's done during the day, and it's clear he's having a positive and enriching experience.
Whenever I have a question or need assistance, the admin team is approachable, responsive, and always happy to help, which gives me great peace of mind.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to other parents. If I have more children in the future, I won't hesitate to enrol them here too!
Thank you for taking the time to review our setting. We are very happy your are happy! We enjoy what we do and ensure children and staff are happy Team Akhter
Amazing nursery, the staff all brought my child out of his shell. Helped him grow and showed compassion when he was having an off day. Communication is great between staff and parents. Always aware of what has happened during the day. Fresh meals prepared every day and extras given when asked. Overall very happy with the nursery.

I cannot fault the care and attention she receives from not only her key worker and while team in the baby room but the entire Akhter team from the office to the kitchen stuff - all staff positively engage with her, often chatting to her on the way in or out.
She tries and enjoys a wide range of different foods (not always easy as she has a dairy intolerance- but this doesn't seem to faze the kitchen team )
She laughs and smiles her way in every morning also secure and confident when I leave her in their care
. Her positive development socially. Emotionally and physically is largely down to the team as she attends 3 full days a week.
I have regular weekly written/photographic updates which supports a daily detailed handover and regular pieces of "Artwork" to bring home. Thank you Akhter for making us as parents worry less and for looking after our daughter as one of your own!
This is lovely to hear and read, thank you for choosing us, we look forward to the journey ahead with your family. Team Akhter
