Review from C B (Mother of Child) published on 27 June 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter currently attends this nursery, and my son attended previously. Both have thrived and thoroughly enjoyed every day at the nursery. The staff are amazing here. So friendly and dedicated.
My children adore the staff and have built strong relationships with their key workers and other workers in their room. The facilities and equipment are outstanding and the food is tasty and nutritious.

I have never had to worry about my children at the nursery as I know they are safe, well cared for and happy. I have no hesitation in recommending this well run, friendly nursery. THANK YOU LIME GROVE!

Overall Experience

Lime Grove is an excellent nursery! Staff are great, lovely and enthusiastic. My little one, who used to cry at the first days, is now happy to attend and always looks forward to going, and very attached to staff. She also loves the food there. Staff are really professional and teaching kids to be independent and doing a great job on this, with lots of activities which we can see also from the online website, with photos and comments from the staff. I highly recommend this nursery!

Overall Experience

As my daughter is sadly coming to the end of her time at Lime Grove I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the care that you have provided for her over the last 3 years.

Going to Lime Grove has, without a doubt, contributed to her being the happy and ever more confident little girl that she is growing into.

Review from Joanne R (Mother of Child) published on 7 December 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We were welcomed around the nursery and we felt instantly that this would be our chosen nursery for our son. The staff genuinely care about the children and with healthy tasty meals, plentiful stimulated toys and activities daily, you couldn't ask for more from a nursery. You leave your child at a young age, for quite a large amount of time with people you don't know at the beginning. So it's important that you trust the staff and nursery, in general, to care for your child like you would at home and Lime Grove delivers this standard.

Review from N A (Mother of Child) published on 7 December 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Lime Grove is a great nursery. Staff are fantastic and I always know that my child will learn and enjoy his day. He feels safe in the nursery and is very attached to staff. Staff encourage children to be more independent and prepare them well for school. There are well-structured activities planned for each day which varies each week. The food is made on site and my son loves the food here. The meals look delicious. My favourite bit is the fantastic array of activities planned for celebration festivals. We have regular photo shoots, a trip to panto, old people's Christmas party and many other events organised regularly. It's more expensive than other nurseries but entire cost is justified for what you get.

Review from Claire W (Mother of Child) published on 31 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Both my girls have had great care whilst at Lime Grove. The facilities are fantastic and the staff friendly, helpful and caring. Lime Grove always put on lovely summer fetes and Christmas parties and put a lot of effort and their own time into these. The ladies from pre-school have been exceptionally good as well as another lady from Ladybirds and a gentleman in Bumble Bees. My only negative is the admin side at the reception. Arrangements I have made in the past have been forgotten and emails about finances have not been responded to.

Review from Katherine R (Mother of Child) published on 16 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I have previously experienced several nurseries/day-care provisions and I can honestly say Lime Grove stands head and shoulders above the rest. Every member of staff is caring and attentive (even the staff not in my son's room acknowledge him by name) and you never get the impression that looking after children is just their job, but a genuine vocation.

The toys and learning aids are imaginative and used very creatively and are well maintained and updated regularly. My child really looks forward to attending each session and comes home visibly excited, educated and exhausted! (In a good way!).

Overall Experience

My child attends pre-school in the nursery and has thrived in this setting as well as all the other ones she has experienced at this nursery. The recent focus on school and art has been great for school and played to her strengths, interests and focus areas. My child's key worker is great with her, giving time to be independent and happy whist always knowing she is there to guide and care. Thank you for everything and most of all looking after my precious daughter so well.

Overall Experience

So pleased with Lime Grove. We were new to the area and I don't think I could've found a better nursery. The staff are friendly and know all the children by name. They look after the children in a fun, safe environment and the key workers have a real focus on my child's personal development. My daughter loves it there, especially the big outside space, and always looks forward to going.

Overall Experience

Our child learns new things every time she attends. Lime Grove provide new experiences such as tadpoles this month and learning the stages. My daughter has learnt how to share and consider others. Show and tell has allowed her confidence to improve. The overall facilities and learning experiences she has at Lime Grove have been amazing.

Overall Experience

Daughter attended since one years old (now over three years). Always been an environment that she loved coming to. The staff have given amazing support to daughter and family as a whole. Whenever need extra support (sessions) they always were there to help. When needed on call support for arrival of baby brother the staff expressed that they would be available to support us. They always challenged and adapted to daughters individual needs and milestones. We will be sad to leave when heading off to school. Thank you!

Overall Experience

I have 2 children attending the nursery. My eldest has been coming for almost 3 years. All of the nursery staff are exceptional. Since day one I have felt confident that my children are being well cared for, well fed, stimulated and kept safe. The golden values are a great idea and help to teach the children good manners and respect. I'm delighted with Lime Grove Day Nursery and would be happy to recommend it to any parent considering child care.

Review from Kelly C (Mother of Child) published on 29 February 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My six month old baby boy started at the nursery at six weeks old and I couldn't be happier with the care and support we have both been given right from the very start from everybody. His key person has been absolutely amazing at settling him in and reassuring me and answering any questions I had. I feel that when I take him into the baby room she is as excited to see him as he is her. All the staff are friendly and professional and couldn't do enough for us. The nursery has excellent resources, an amazing garden, lovely freshly cooked food and the staffs knowledge about childcare is brilliant. I am confident my son is getting the best childcare possible. His key person plans for his individual needs and development assuring that he has everything he needs to help him progress. I am looking forward to seeing the journey he is going to make at such and outstanding nursery.

What is your favourite part of working at Lime Grove?

I would say our garden is my favourite feature - people are often 'wowed' by it as they don’t expect it to be so big. Each room has its own free-flow garden which is amazing and another great space for the children.

What are you most proud of about your nursery/team?

I'm very proud of my team's approach and the amazing bonds that they form with their key children and families.
