Mother Goose Day Nursery has a warm and inviting atmosphere, recreating a home from home environment where the children in their care will feel secure and happy. They are open from Monday-Friday throughout the year except for public holidays and one week during Christmas.
The nursery is open for 51 weeks of the year catering for ages 2 years to 5 years where there is an option for full days (8:00am-6:00pm) or half days (8:00am-1:00pm/1:00pm-6:00pm).
The Nursery consists of one main playroom which includes the extension of a conservatory giving more space for the children to explore. The nursery also has plentiful outdoor space so that learning, and development can be taken outside. The rooms have maximum numbers of children and the right staff to child ratio according to the guidelines set out by OFSTED.
The main rooms hold a maximum of 33 children aged 2 years -5 years. The ratio for this age is 1:4 for 2 years and 1:8 for 3 years plus. The children in their setting are starting to become more independent and are encouraged to develop their self helps skills more widely.
The children help to prepare their own snacks and take turns in serving snacks out to each other as a way to build on their self-confidence. Weekly diaries on ey-man are used as a way of communicating with parents and carers.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of 2 to 3 year olds can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week, and some families on qualifying benefits can claim 15 hours regardless of working status. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

After moving my son from another preschool I am amazed at how quickly he has settled in.
From the moment I spoke to the manager on the phone after my initial enquiry, I felt warmth and welcomed with so much care, this was then continued in our visit and extended by every staff member.
After just four weeks, my son's speech has improved, as has his behaviour and manners. He now loves going to preschool and talks fondly about it.
The communication is great, from message notifications on the app which also includes details of a ‘Register’ and what he has eaten at school and they take the time to chat with you at collection with how their session has been and what they have been like.
I wish I had found them sooner!
The entire team of Mother Goose are amazing, the organisation is run perfectly, My son absolutely loves going and gets really upset when he doesnt get to go. The manager is such a great person and show's how big her heart is everyday. I'm beyond happy with mother Goose and all the girls there....

The manager and all the staff from Mother Goose were so nice and I love the nursery setting, and my son I believe loves it. The little negative is that my child needed extra support which the nursery could not support and also in terms of feeding, my child was is a picky eater and the nursery does not allow any food or snack from home, so my son was most of the time upset and we were called to come and get him, which interferes with my work sometimes. Some parents will appreciate maybe in the future should this change be done. That being said, all staff are lovely.

Thank you very much for your review. I fully appreciate your few negatives and welcome the feedback in order to keep our setting to a high standard. Regarding the food, unfortunately, due to having a high number of severe allergies and in order to promote healthy eating, food brought into the setting is something we have never allowed, but we do always offer alternatives. We strive to be an inclusive setting but sometimes this can be difficult and does not always suit the needs of individual children with the setting mixed age and open plan.
My 2 sons both enjoyed Mother Goose Nursery. MY eldest son is now 8 years old, I wanted my younger son (4 years old now) to go to Mother Goose as well. I have only praise and good words for it. Well managed. A special thanks to the manager.

Thank you for your kind words it has been an absolute pleasure watching them grow and develop over the years.

My son started six months ago with minimum words and a massive attachment issue, they worked amazingly with us and adapted to suit my child's needs, and now he is waving me goodbye at the gates happy to be going, and his speech is coming on leaps and bounds.
I can't recommend this nursery enough, very honest, open and helpful caring staff, always happy to give advice in a way that is actually helpful rather than condescending. Amazing support and lovely atmosphere, can't sing their praises enough

My daughter has been attending the nursery since September 2020 and as a family, we are so delighted with the nursery. She has made so many friends and looks forward to going every day. The staff are friendly and approachable and clearly care about the children in their care. They are always open to talking to you and are very open about the child’s care and how they are developing. It will be a shame to have to say goodbye when she starts school this year but I know, thanks to Mother Goose, that she is very ready to move on. Would definitely recommend the nursery to prospective parents!
I am so happy how they helped my son to settle in, all ladies are so lovely and act like an extended family. I couldn't be happier having my son there, they help him with all that I ask, if reasonable.

My daughter is clearly so happy at nursery and has come on in leaps and bounds; it’s a delight to see.

As a smaller nursery they give so much attention to detail and one-to-one time with the kids.
My 3 year old daughter has come along leaps and bounds in her speech, sharing, maths, English and just general knowledge of the world.
Absolutely lovely nursery and I’ll definitely be sorry when littlun has to leave for school!

My daughter has been attending Mothe Goose for 6 weeks. The staff are very caring and attentive towards her. She really enjoys herself when she's here and is coming on developmentally.

My daughter started at Mother Goose in January 2020 when she was 2 and she has loved it from day one! The staff are so nurturing and caring and look after her so well, she has come on so much since she started with regards to her learning, social skills and her eating! She was so fussy before she started and now she will eat most things. I am a key worker so my daughter continued to go to nursery every day during lockdown, I can’t tell you how supportive the nursery staff were, they became like family and were a godsend. She was so happy going which made me feel happy and confident about her going there whilst I had to work. And thankfully the place is all Covid secure so there haven’t been any outbreaks so far. I can’t recommend this nursery enough, it’s so lovely. My older daughter went there too and she loved it as well.

I highly recommend Mother Goose Nursery. During the two years that my daughter has attended, I have watched her gain so much confidence and knowledge. As a family, we have felt supported and any worries have been dealt with care and confidentiality. The staff work hard to make this nursery the best it can be and it has paid off.
My daughter has been attending this nursery since January 2020. My eldest son also attended this nursery from September 2018 to July 2019. We have never had any issues or concerns and have always been very impressed with how friendly and supportive the staff are. The staff have done an incredible...
I would honestly recommend this nursery to anyone who wants a genuinely caring and lovely environment for their children to learn in.
Am overall satisfied with the school. The staff are wonderful and caring, they treat everyone the same, no matter their race. I love the daily observation and all we need to know as parents, they make sure they give us feedback.

There’s no tears or tantrums when I’m dropping her off and she’s more than happy to get in and start her day. I can not praise the staff enough for what they have done to help me and my child to achieve what we have in a limited amount of time.
Staff are great with keeping parents up to date on how their child does during the day.

The learning app to see what and how your child is progressing is fantastic.

Our son started attending Mother Goose in August 2018 when he was three years and three months old. At that point, my husband and I were very concerned about his slow speech development which was made worse by his sleep apnoea. Prior to Mother Goose, he had already been to three other nurseries (all more expensive and another with excellent ranking) however it was only when he joined Mother Goose that we began to see real progress. He took a liking to all the teachers, looked forward to going to school and we also noticed a huge improvement in his learning pace and enthusiasm to try new games and toys at home. All teachers are professional and all display understanding of my sons personal learning needs. The app is also a great way for us to see how he is doing and how we can help him at home.
