Ladybirds Nursery

I have three children (9, 4 and 1). My two youngest are currently at ladybirds and my eldest was also there from 2009 to 2012. All my children have thrived there and continue to do so. I wouldn't want any other type of childcare for them as Ladybirds offers them the best any child (or parent!) would want. My son starts jumping in excitement in his car seat when I park the car in the car park and is very happy going in. My daughter who is now in pre-school and has been at Ladybirds Nursery since she was 8 months has been saying how much she is going to miss nursery the nursery nurse when she goes to "big" school. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough. The love, affection, discipline, variety and overall fun Ladybirds Nursery offers is OUTSTANDING!!

A wonderfully caring and stimulating nursery that I cannot recommend highly enough. We have been fortunate enough to send two of our three boys to Ladybirds over the last five years and have watched them thrive as Starlings, Kingfishers and pre-schoolers. What strikes me particularly as our youngest starts school is how much he already enjoys learning, how confident he is with numbers and phonics and how well he has been prepared for Reception by the teaching staff in the pre-school. As a parent, I have also really appreciated how little the staff has changed over the last five years, which is not only wonderful from the children's perspective but says much about the working environment there. Ladybirds rightly deserves its outstanding OFSTED rating.

I cannot recommend Ladybirds nursery highly enough. Both of our children attended the nursery, from the baby room through to the preschool, and every room has been outstanding in its care, nurturing, support, fun, activities and learning. Their attention to every individual child is incredible, both in their knowledge of each child's personality and achievements, and in the time and interest that they have for them all. What often amazes me is how the nursery manages to do all this and yet still have the time to lay excellent foundations for readying the children (and parents!) for school. So many of the staff have been at the nursery throughout the whole of our time there, which really adds to the sense of community and warmth - we're very sad to have to say goodbye after all of these years!

As this is the end of our time at Ladybirds, I really want to thank you really sincerely for all the support we have had and the enjoyment our daughter has had at Nursery . We made a wonderful decision to come to Ladybirds and have been so pleased. She has absolutely thrived thanks to you all and the environment which allows her to do that. We are ready for the next stage but sad this week as well, that this phase is ending.

I would not hesitate in recommending Ladybirds nursery (and have done so several times!)

Both of our children have attended Ladybirds since they were 9 months old. Our eldest has just finished pre-school nearly 4 years later. In the four different age rooms the children are always provided with stimulating, developing, fun and often messy activities. One of the greatest benefits is that Ladybirds take advantage of being located in Highfield Park and so the children spend a lot of time outdoors rather than cooped up inside. Fantastic staff. Extremely happy parents.

We have been very pleased with every aspect of Ladybirds. Our son has been happy there, he has been safe, and has received a good education. I would recommend the nursery to anyone living in the area.

Our son has settled very well at ladybirds and he is very happy there. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The setting is also excellent and it's great that the children go outside nearly every day. Big negatives for us are the lack of food, shorter hours and poor/old facilities. Also the cost is high given the negatives I have noted.

A wonderful start to learning is given by Ladybirds.

We have always found Ladybirds to be an excellent environment for our son, who has attended the nursery since he was 9 months old. He has attended the pre-school since last September and has had an excellent grounding in literacy and numeracy which will serve him well when he starts school in September. The Nursery has a warm and welcoming feel and the staff seem genuinely engaged.

My daughter has always been extremely happy here. She was here from the age of 1 and a half to end of pre-school. The staff are very caring and develop real bonds with the children. I was always kept very well informed about what my child had been up to that day and I was also given recommendations of things I could do at home to support her development. I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to anyone.

Thank you Ladybirds!

My son has attended Ladybirds nursery since he was 6 months old and there has never been a day where I have worried about him being there. He thoroughly enjoys everyday, the staff are super friendly and know all the children's names and parents and both my son and I have made some wonderful friends for life. I will be sad when he leaves to go to school and hope that the school we have chosen will be able to follow the excellent foundation that Ladybirds has provided.

The nursery is always clean and tidied at the end of the day, the activities and learning they provide and fun and structure, giving them a head start when transitioning to school.

I thoroughly recommend this nursery.

Thank you Ladybirds for making the transition back to work an easier one and for caring and looking after our son.

The only downside is I wish they provided lunch and dinner - more nutritious having freshly cooked meals rather than having something in a lunch box.

Very clean and there's lots of fun activities.

I am more than happy to recommend this nursery to friends and family.

This is a fantastic nursery. Both of my sons have enjoyed their time here and have been encouraged, nurtured and cared for in an exemplary fashion. Staff make every effort to keep parents informed and involved. The location is wonderful and safe with a large park outside and children are taken for walks everyday.

A wonderful nursery. Such personalised care and attention to learning. My son has been so happy and has made such good progress. He is now very well prepared for school. All staff are lovely and have really made my child feel special.

My husband and I are delighted with Ladybirds Nursery and we highly recommend it. Our son has been at Ladybirds for a year, based in the Doves (the baby room). He settled in extremely well and thoroughly enjoys every day he spends there. His key worker is excellent, she takes such good care of our son, he is turning into a charming, polite, well behaved boy (who sleeps and eats!) and we attribute so much of that to his key worker and the Ladybirds environment. We find all staff at the nursery a real pleasure to deal with, they are all very good with our son and it is clear he is very fond of all of them. Our son is learning rapidly and this is a result of the disciplines in place and nurturing staff at the nursery. We are especially keen on the fact that there is a focus on outdoor activities. The location of the nursery, in the middle of a lovely park, is a big advantage over other nurseries in the area.

My son went to Ladybird nursery for a year and half and he thoroughly enjoyed his time there. Amazing nursery with lovely staff!! Staff are extremely friendly and supportive to both children and parents. You are guaranteed peace of mind knowing that you child Is safe and having a great time at the nursery. My son learnt a lot during his stay there through learning and playing. There were lot art and craft activities, both indoor and outdoor things to do for children.

Staff were very supportive and patient when toilet training my three year old. My son made some amazing friendship during his stay there. Staff had made a great impression and he still keeps talking about them!! Will recommend this nursery at anytime!!

Leaving your child with someone else is always the hardest thing to do. All of the staff at Ladybirds make it feel reassuringly easier. They are an exceptional team of very skilled staff.
