Review from Ana F (Mother of Child) published on 11 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Really disappointed with our experience at Meadow View Childcare. During our son's first week, we picked him up twice in wet clothes, cold and uncomfortable, despite providing plenty of spare clothes. On both occasions he didn't smell very pleasant, and one day he had yoghurt all down his jumper from lunchtime which had still not been changed by home time.
We also informed staff he had a cold, yet nobody noticed he had a temperature of 38 when we collected him. We weren't informed promptly about a loose nappy either. Communication on the app, especially around nappy changes, was inconsistent and we didn't feel properly updated throughout the day.

As someone who has worked as a room leader in a nursery myself, I know these are very basic standards of care. We raised our concerns politely but felt they were dismissed, and our request for a refund was refused. Sadly, we lost trust very quickly and felt it was important to share our honest experience.

Reply from Lisa Lucas, Owner at Meadow View Childcare

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience with Meadow View Childcare did not meet your expectations during your son's time with us. The comfort, wellbeing and care of every child is something we take extremely seriously, and we...

Overall Experience

My partner and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Meadow View Nursery. Our little girl started in the baby room at 11 months and the team there have been amazing at nurturing her and adapting to her needs on an individual basis. As she has transitioned into different rooms we have had such positive experiences with every member of staff who truly care about the work they do. The team are incredibly patient and is keen to work with us as parents to ensure that she thrives in their environment. Most recently they have helped us navigate some tricky adjustment issues following the arrival of a new sibling. I am keen to shout far and wide about the brilliance of this nursery and the team within it! Highly recommend!

Review from S C (Mother of Child) published on 21 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has attended Meadow View since he was 7 months old, now 3 years old and he has learnt so much, building great bonds with staff and peers. He loves the outdoor nature of the nursery and the focus on environment/nature, they also provide great extracurricular activities during the day from football coaching to ballet which enriches their experience and development. Since he started, the nursery facilities are constantly being developed and improved upon. Change and transitions have always been tricky for our son and the staff are always supportive when we are going through a tricky phase and give lots of ideas to implement at home also, there's a real sense of working on his development/transitions collaboratively with the nursery. Thank you!

Overall Experience
My little boy has been attending Meadow View since he was 6 months old (Now two years old), I genuinely believe his rapid progression in life is down to the staff at the nursery.
Meadow View has taught him so much.
Always bent over backwards to help us out.

Would highly recommend it.

Reply from Mihaela Fulga, Manager at Meadow View Childcare

Best wishes, Meadow View Team

All the teachers are very caring and affectionate towards the kids. Our daughter loves her teachers and likes going the daycare. We are able to follow her activities daily via the regular updates uploaded on the app which is wonderful for us as parents.

Review from B G (Mother of Child) published on 28 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son started Meadow View in April 2023, he was at another preschool who weren't meeting his needs so I decided to look for another nursery, by luck I came across Meadow View, upon entering the car park I could hear the staff and children singing and so much laughter, I was blown away by the nurturing environment given by the staff and the strong bonds the children had in them, I especially loved that they treated the children as if they was one of their own the love, care and kindness. It is amazing here and the staff are so passionate and energetic. Week 1 my son was much happier and was so excited to go to his new nursery, he told me by day 3 'Mummy I love my new nursery and my new nursery loves me' best decision I made putting my son here, can't wait to see him flourish, learn and grow. I also like that it gives you a sense of family and belonging and that every child matters.

Overall Experience

My daughter is so happy there and grateful that the staff assist in her development. They always report to us any issues and cater for her allergies whilst ensuring her diet is diverse. They engage in a variety of learning activities daily and I see the importance and her development when she’s at home.

Reply from Mihaela Fulga, Manager at Meadow View Childcare

What a lovely review, thank you so much. It's so important to us, and so inspiring to have these partnerships between the teachers and parents sharing learning from home and the setting.

Review from Ruby S (Mother of Child) published on 25 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son absolutely loves Meadow View Childcare!
When we were looking around nurseries in the area, he defied to get down and take a look around/play.
When we stepped into Meadow View, he couldn’t wait to get down! Right away he ran off and started playing. The staff welcomed him in and since then he has loved every minute!
He only attends two days a week but every day asked to go to ‘school’.
The staff are amazing! Really caring and helpful!
My son has allergies and they are very understanding and accommodating!
I love that he comes home all happy and tries to tell me what he’s done!

His progress with confidence and speaking over the past year here has been amazing!

Fantastic place, children get to experience so much. Mainly based in an outdoor setting where they have lots of fantastic fun whilst learning all the time. Our son started there at 8 months old and he is 2 now and loves it so much.

My daughter has attended Meadow View Childcare since she was 1 years old, this year she will be graduating from there ready for reception! She has loved every minute of nursery and pre-school and couldn’t recommend Meadow View enough. The staff are excellent, my daughter has developed extremely close bonds with them. The outside play is amazing, so much for them to do and explore. Lunch and dinner provided for the children are amazing too! Definitely recommend the nursery to anyone!

Overall Experience

My two children absolutely love Meadow View! They are so happy when they come home. They have both had new experiences including campfires and making a maze for the tortoise. My two year old has made huge improvements in both her speech and physical development. My four year old has made strong friendships and I can really see the improvement in her social skills. They love their teachers as much as their friends and look forward to seeing everyone each day.

Review from Rob E (Father of Child) published on 24 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Always feel really comfortable with leaving our little one at Meadow View. When we first joined, I was invited to sit in on a session and experience the surroundings, which really helped me understand how things worked.
They took the time to ask specifics about the child and their routine. They’re great at keeping to that as much as possible.
I love seeing the photos that they share of our child playing and interacting, as well as updates on food, etc.

He seems so comfortable with all of the team, who are lovely and care about him, and they share thoughts if we ask how he was, etc.
