Well, from the moment I arrived, walking past 4 year old girls and boys all wearing their Mortarboard, Square Academic Hats, I was genuinely intrigued.
What followed was an afternoon of sheer joy, laughter, contortions too from such wonderful students; each standing on their own in front of everyone, listening intently to their teacher describing their uniqueness, contributions made during their time at this amazing Nursery, followed, in every case with incredible applause
On congratulating the team of teachers, assuming this to be new for 2026, they explained Graduations had been a feature for 14 years now, so I salute you all - it was amazing to be a part of something so special; what a 'send off'' for their next school

My daughter moved over to Enchanted in September 2024 after her previous nursery closed. She began in Wizards. They were fully accommodating of her IEP from her previous nursery and were fully committed to her development and communicating everything they were doing to support her. Her transition to the pre-school (Unicorns) was extremely smooth and that was down to the work of the staff. The team are lovely and are very responsive to any messages/requests you have.

We were very happy with the care received by our son who attended from 15 months and finished this summer. He has grown and developed in confidence in the care of the brilliant team at Enchanted who provided a supportive environment where he could thrive. Their care, energy, enthusiasm and dedication to all the children reassured me we had chosen a great setting. The room transitions at different ages really made a difference and helped our child to grow, by being with older children - this in turn has helped with preparing for school. Any queries raised were quickly and promptly resolved. Thank you Enchanted Nursery team.

I have two children attending Enchanted Nursery in Alton currently, with my eldest leaving at the end of August to start school. My youngest will remain for another 2 years in the preschool at Enchanted. We originally moved to Enchanted Nursery after the nursery we were in before unfortunately closed down. However, since moving to Enchanted, my two have absolutely loved it and they settled in so quickly. The staff are all amazing, super caring and all documentation is always filled in, with regular photo updates and monthly progress checks. Enchanted Nursery have a healthy food focus on their menu, which is updated for the summer and winter months, and there's always a hot meal for either the lunch or dinner. They have a fun little playground at the front of the nursery with a climbing frame and two room options for the preschooler's which gives a nice variation for them, giving them the opportunity to explore different play equipment and a mixture of children :)

My daughter has been going to the Nursery since she was 10 months old. Since the beginning she has always loved going and being there every single day. It's been such an emotional journey watching her grow up since being a baby into the lively, wonderful little girl she has become. This has been a massive thanks to all the wonderful staff at enchanted nursery with all their caring love, help & support, in all the children's development. You build a very personal relationship with all the key workers because of their bonds with the children. They have been wonderful in all of our daughter's development with helping her on her journey, preparing her for infant school. All the staff are all so friendly and are devoted to their roles, they always give a thorough feedbacks on how the children have been throughout the day. This is also emphasised in the Famly App we use to keep a live up to date reports on how our daughter is doing and eating throughout the day. Overall a brilliant nursery.

The staff team is exceptional - highly skilled, genuinely caring and completed vested in the children's well-being and development. It's rare to see such low turnover in a childcare team, but it's clear why - they love what they do!
We wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe, joyful and enriching place for their children to flourish and get ready for school.
Both of our sons enjoyed their time at Enchanted. Our youngest is about ti graduate and will be sad to leave. He has been really well supported by the lovely staff and is more than ready to start school. His academic and personal development has been well supported and is always celebrated. We...

He has been really well supported by the lovely staff and is more than ready to start school. His academic and personal development has been well supported and is always celebrated. We would recommend Enchanted to others.
Amazing team, especially when my 3-year-old daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. So caring and willing to learn how to give injections etc. Incredible people and already have my son's place down to go here.

My youngest has been attending since 10 months old full time and there hasn't been a day she hasn't wanted to go to nursery!
They are imaginative with activities, the feedback from key workers has always been consistent and thorough, and they genuinely care about each and every one of the children,
They work with parents and have always been approachable.
The one thing I have noticed throughout my children going to nursery is most staff have been there many years, which I think says alot about a nursery and their enjoyment working there.
The food has always been varied, they always do a progress report monthly for your child and provide lots of pictures of your child throughout their nursery days.
As a parent it is never easy leaving your child, however seeing how happy my daughter is there every day, I would not hesitate to recommend any other nursery other than enchanted.

My daughter has attended Enchanted Nursery since February 2022. She started at 15 months old and has thrived since being there. Shes made life long friends, learnt so so much and developed in so many ways. Personally can't fault Enchanted at all and if I were fortunate enough to have another child, I'd sent them there without hesitation. All of my daughter's key workers have been wonderful and supportive not only to my daughter, but to myself too which has eased any concerns about sending her to nursery. I was terrified of her being away from me after so long together but I needn't have worried at all. Now she runs in barely glancing back at me as she is so eager to get in and see her friends and teachers. Seeing her develop and grow has been wonderful and I am so proud of the person she is growing into.
Every member of staff knows every child's name, I've no idea how they manage it but they do! All the staff are so caring and nurturing.

Enchanted is such a great nursery. They offer first class education. My daughter joined the nursery in February 2023 and she was still developing her speech after relocating to the country. She had gone through a terrible regression but thanks to Enchanted nursery she was able to get her speech and she became a confident child. She has developed great communication skills and we are excited for her to go into the big school now. Thanks to the amazing teachers and the rest of the team that provided great support as my daughter developed. I would definitely recommend any parent to send their children to Enchanted . As they are of great cultural diversity and accommodate any child despite their ethnicity.
Both of my children attend here and they both love it! They both look forward to going in, in the morning, to see their friends and teachers.

My eldest is about to leave for school, and how they are saying goodbye to the children is incredible! They have put so much thought and consideration into this and it really shows how much they care and love the children.
My daughter has loved her time at Enchanted Nursery, she has absolutely flourished under their care. The team are always welcoming and the communication is excellent. I can't thank the team enough for their support. Cannot praise highly enough.

Both our children have been attending full-time at Enchanted since September 2013 and we could not wish for a better setting and environment for them to grow up and develop within. The care that they have been given over the years and still have is outstanding. The staff at Enchanted are able to make each child feel special and loved whilst being able to nurture and teach them in parallel. They have such a wonderful and exciting time at nursery. The things they are able to do with the children are so much more than we would ever be able to offer in a home setting (or when it comes to messy play want to do!). The manager and the team are always willing to go that extra mile to help out both the children (and parents) where they are able to. I have no reservations as recommending Enchanted Nursery - I drop my children every day knowing they are safe, cared for and having fun. This feeling is worth more than anything.
Our eldest son was very happy here at Enchanted, and we will be sending our youngest here too. Facilities are great and I always felt well informed and involved as a parent. The school transition was managed very well, with some great preparation from the Enchanted team. They went absolutely above...
