Akhtar team go above and beyond caring for children. They have the most amazing team, friendly caring and like a big family there. Extremely sad to have moved on from here now with my child, I wish they could stay longer and be with the team! Shout out to Rabbit room team and the Mangeress, you've been amazing.
Thank you for your kind response. We wish you could have stayed longer as well, we have had some fantastic children who have all been a pleasure to teach. Good luck in your next journey.
The staff are amazing and very supportive. They've given us good advice for various situations, and have been incredibly helpful with the process of settling, and teaching. They're very understanding and will help where they can.
It has been a pleasure, and may we continue to impress! thank you for your kind words, bring on the next year.
Amazing work!
Amazing nursery!
10/10.
Thank you for your kind words, the food is amazing, isn't it! We look forward to the next year with your family.
All staff are approachable, helpful and kind, they are so good with all the children. Good communication between the centre and parents via email updates. They have good size rooms and play areas for all. Varieties of food offered, my daughters never complained! and affordable childcare. Now she's heading off to big school in September, we are really going to miss Akhter! Special thanks to the staff for being a special part of her journey.
Thank you for your kind words, we have enjoyed having her.
My sister attended Akhter Early Learning Centre a few months ago. She was very shy and often cried, which worried us a lot. However, after just a few days at Akhter Early Learning Centre, she became much more confident and stopped crying as much. The nursery staff were incredibly amazing, supportive, and genuinely caring. I would highly recommend this nursery.
Thank you for your kind words. We do have 5 gardens for the children to play in, one sensory room and a sensory garden along with the large atrium /hall where they hold indoor sports if it's raining to heavily outside. Staff can take the children in these areas to ensure learning doesn't get boring and a change of activities can be explored both in and outside.
My daughter has flourished at this nursery. After a bad experience at her previous nursery, she was very worried about starting again. The nursery team were aware of this and helped her through her emotions with it all and she soon showed them what an amazing little girl she is. She has a big love for learning and they help guide her through every step of her learning journey and she learning is very much tailored to her abilities. She comes home every week and shows us all the new things she has learned. She has recently been learning about the planets and is always talking about them, reeling off the names and little details about each one. The communication with staff and parents is amazing. Detailed updates every time I collect her about how she has been, what she has eaten etc. She had her graduation this week and it was such a great evening for her and her friends. She will be sad to be leaving the nursery.
Thank you for taking the time to review us! She has been a pleasure to have and has made a great impression on the room and staff, they love her. She will do amazing at her new school, go shine.
He is really enjoying his time there and his speech and development have come on so well.
I can’t fault the staff they are kind, caring and attentive.
Overall just a great experience all round.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to other parents/carers.
Thank you Akhter and the staff in Hedgehogs room.
Thank for your kind words, I will pass your kind words on to our lovely staff in Hedgehogs
My son (aged 3) has been at Akhter since 6 months old and he absolutely loves going to nursery and his action-packed days of fun, learning and laughter. The room staff are very friendly, professional, supportive and caring especially when it comes to moving up throughout the nursery rooms as they get older and the management and office team are always super helpful! The food is well balanced and nutritious with a good variety of freshly prepared meals. We are going to be gutted when having to leave to go to school.
Thank you for your kind words, we have enjoyed watching him grow, can't believe how quickly time flies.
My daughter loves it at Akhter Nursery. The staff are very caring and really put in a lot of effort to make it exciting for the children. Would love to get more pics on what my child is up to during the day. Overall a great place and I feel very comfortable to leave my daughter in their care.
Thank you for your kind words. I'm sure if you ask staff to take a couple of photos of during the day and post them they may be able to to add to the ones you already get, however, staff are so busy playing and supporting the children's learning they can't always do this.
My 15-month-old daughter attends the nursery. The baby room is lovely and spacious and has an outdoor area. She loves being there. She gets on really well with her key worker and the rest of the staff. They are hands-on on about child development too. Highly recommended.
Thank you for your kind words, we are grateful you chose us and we love watching her play and learn new things.
My daughter has been going to ALC since she was 6 months old. She's currently 3. They have been absolutely incredible at looking after her, helping her to develop, teaching her and nurturing her. I wouldn't send her anywhere else!
Thank you for choosing us, it has been a pleasure having her, she has come on leaps and bounds.
The nursery is always willing to help with any supportive needs and understands the “whats” and “hows” when it comes to each individual child.
Very grateful for all at Akhter Early Learning Centre Nursery and Pre-School.
Thank you for your kind words, it has been a pleasure.
I am extremely happy to have my child in Akhter Nursery. She loves coming to school, I notice that she feels better about herself and the feedback from her teachers and support staff is positive.
Thank you for you kind words, we love having her and watching her grow and learn
My son is having an amazing time at the nursery, in just 5 weeks we’ve seen an amazing difference in him! So glad and proud to have him here! The staff are amazing, so kind and welcoming to the children, it’s clean and a happy place!
Wow what lovely words thank you. Thank you for choosing us on your child's learning journey
This nursery is amazing my daughter is in Badgers and is loving every moment. The teachers are amazing very approachable and communication is amazing they are amazing with the children. You can see they love what they do and are there to interact and cater to your child's needs. They give the children such an amazing atmosphere and are so friendly and happy.
What lovely comments thank you. Staff enjoy their roles working with the children and want nothing more than the best for them all.
My 3-year-old son started in January. The staff were so amazing and made him feel so welcome. He settled in so well and he looks forward to going every day now. He comes out every day so happy. The staff are so lovely and communicate with you every day to let you know how your child’s been getting on that day. My son is more confident since joining and I’ve noticed his speech improving day-by-day with all the interaction. If you’re thinking of taking your child here, I really do highly recommend. Also, lovely, fresh, hot meals cooked daily which is great as my son is trying new foods.
Thank you so much for your kind words, we really enjoy having him and we are so glad he is doing so well.
My daughter is currently in the baby room and loves coming to nursery, she always says the ladies' names at home when I say shall we go see your nursery friends. I couldn't fault this nursery at all I have two older children now at school that both attended the nursery from 9 months all the way through to preschool. All the staff have so much care for the children and understand their needs. The feedback when I pick up is always so informative.
Thank you for your kind words, we have enjoyed having all your girls and thank you for choosing us and including us in your family journey.
The use of the app has been a fantastic addition to our experience, I enjoy being able to peek into her world seeing her play and learn.
What a great review! Thank you for your kind words, all staff work really hard to ensure all children's needs are met. Thank you for your kind words.
My daughter has absolutely come along since January and is doing amazing within the room she attends.
Thank you so much for your kind words, we love having her, she is growing in confidence every day
She didn’t talk when she started now she talks interactive with all.
The nursery is great so much she has learnt from being there.
I would recommend the nursery.
Thank you for your kind words. Our two lovely Italian kitchen staff are in the middle of creating a new healthy summer menu for our children to enjoy
