Review from Alexandra Diana Z (Mother of Child) published on 26 October 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I have seen a couple of other nurseries before deciding to choose positive steps in Apsley. From the very first time, the manager was very friendly and made us feel like this is the place for us. We are very happy to see our son has grown so much and he has improved a lot since he went to nursery. All the staff are very friendly and work individually with the children to meet their needs. Many activities and very clean and caring environment. The place we wanted for our child. Thank you!

Review from Ayala S (Mother of Child) published on 15 August 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The nursery is great for us for a few reasons - its opening hours (we both work full time), location and activities/settings.
I've only a few minor frustrations, but they are likely to occur regardless of nursery; staff turnover is high, parking can be challenging, moving your child from 1 group to the next can mean more work than a parent should have to make in my opinion, and perhaps jam sandwiches should not be offered.

The main staff are very helpful though and always on hand with suggestions if we have any queries. They help with small things like getting them out of nursery into the car when both mine go in opposite directions. The only suggestion is to facilitate a Facebook page for parents to get to know each other, ask questions etc.

Overall Experience

Positive steps have been amazing with my 9month old. The staff have been amazing through the whole process and the settling in sessions really helped. Each day she comes home so happy and we feel so comfortable leaving her with such passionate staff. The staff provide so much for her to learn and to play with. All staff take the time to welcome us and give great feedback at the end of the day.

Overall Experience

I have never been keen on the idea of daycare but Positive Steps really changed my mind. Both of my children really love it here and the staff know them so well. They tailor the activities to their interests and are really positive and caring. Thank you to all the team.

Overall Experience

My daughter has attend Positive Steps Apsley since April 2016. The management and staff were very helpful and supportive in helping to manage my anxieties about settling my daughter in at 10 months old. She settled in straight away and has always been excited to go to nursery to see her carers and friends. The staff keep me updated about all aspects of my daughters development and were very respectful of her routine. She has made so much progress in the last 3 months, we are both very happy with the nursery. Thank you my daughter loves you all.

Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery! My daughter has been going for 6 months now and she loves it! She learns so much there and has lots of fun, each day she does Something new, painting, sand play, sticking etc. Can truly say the staff are amazing too! I go to them about everything and anything! They give me advice about tantrums, potty training, general stuff and they are more than happy to help and it's actually quite nice to get a professional opinion. Friendly, clean and the changes in my daughter is amazing, she now knows her numbers, letters and colours! Please go to an open day and you will see for yourself!
