Northbourne Park Squirrels Nursery

Supportive, friendly staff and a great outdoor area for play. They also do lots of community events, so the setting feels like an extended family.

The nursery is amazing! The activities they carry out with the children means my child's confidence has rocketed! He has learnt so much and is growing up so fast. It is worth every penny. Every teacher knows every student which makes me feel so comfortable leaving him with them and he loves them all. I wish i went there when i was younger. I can't wait for my next son to start. Thank you!

We have been so happy with how our two children have flourished in the nursery at Northbourne. It is a very happy nursery where the children walk in smiling. They do some wonderful structured activities each day but balance this with plenty of free play in the beautiful grounds. Special extras that you might not find elsewhere include: forest school, French, and nativities in the beautiful on site church. The staff are all caring and supportive and our children have made some special friends. As a parent, I'm not sure you could ask for much more!

We have found Northbourne Park to be a fantastic place for our young daughter to go to. The school strikes a fantastic balance between nurturing, teaching while the kids still have fun. Our daughter loves going in, in the mornings and comes home with a smile on her face!

A fantastic nursery in a wonderful outdoor setting, Northbourne Park offers children huge scope to develop their skills and experience new things. We particularly loved that the Squirrel's class was more like school than nursery and the day was structured, uniform was expected and there was a lot of interaction with older children both socially and within the structured lessons. The teachers are excellent and the opportunities endless. The nursery is fully part of the pre-prep community and the transition to Reception class has been seamless. I would recommend this pre-school nursery without hesitation.

My youngest boy loves playing in the space the grounds offer, he always comes home happy with a muddy coat and full of lovely stories!

We have all had so much fun with the pre-prep over the years. I would not hesitate to recommend it.

I cannot rate this nursery more highly, the teachers and assistants are wonderful, caring and intuitive. The wider staff are super friendly and attuned to each child's needs. The nursery is set in the middle of the woods with a fantastic indoor and outdoor space. There are weakly forest school sessions as well as focus on interpersonal skills, as well as touching some French and music classes too. The Christmas nativity is the most adorable event held in the old Norman church belonging to the prep school. Our child has thrived under the care of the nursery and school. The head of the pre-prep is wonderful, responsive and kind.

A truly special nursery, where the children are able to maintain their uniqueness and individuality. They are given so much encouragement to find their talents and encouraged to play and learn. It has the most incredible setting, with wonderful gardens that they are allowed to freely roam. I could not wish for my son to go to a better or happier nursery.

I can't rate the teachers, teaching assistants and office staff highly enough. The outside playing facilities are fantastic. My daughter settled quickly and is very happy there. Northbourne Park is a lovely community to be part of, for both parents and children.

Our son has only attended the nursery for a few weeks and the change in him is remarkable. He is confident, adventurous and always tired out when he comes home. He has learnt so much and has already experienced a farm visit, pirate day, science week and taken part in the harvest festival - all in a safe, fun, learning environment. Over half term, he constantly wanted to go back to the nursery. We couldn't recommend Northbourne Park highly enough.

Since attending Northbourne my daughter has made fantastic progress in all areas. She has made lots of friends and grown in confidence. She enjoys attending every day, which is great to see.

So far since starting in September 2018, we have found this school brilliant. Very friendly and very easy to talk to all staff that work here about any questions. Feels really relaxed so far and we’d have no doubt in telling parents with up and coming toddlers to go and have a look around. Feels very homely and cosy. We felt at ease from the first day we visited the school. Let it carry on. Very happy mum and dad.

I feel sure my grandson will receive the best education and will continue to flourish.

My daughter is really enjoying the experience of the nursery, teaching her new skills and knowledge. Friendly staff.

Great fun learning environment. The care and the family feel are great in the nursery at Northbourne Park school. We always left our children there with a peace of mind that they will be looked after with love and care. Both our girls settled in really well, they really loved being there. They enjoyed all the activities laid out for them. It was a very relaxed environment for children with a very good routine and structure. Our girls came out of their shells and much more confident and ready for reception class. Members of staff work very hard and always ready to help. Regular meetings were arranged for parents and teachers to talk about their children’s development. It was very helpful to get feedback and work with the girls on little things that they needed to catch up on. We also really enjoyed seeing our girls getting on the stage, performing for different events. They had a memorable time in nursery.

The nursery is fantastic, my child is happy and thriving in the wonderful environment created by all the staff there.

Great all round nursery amazing outside area great range of subjects hot food every day with a Great variety.

I think the school has been very nurturing towards my son and he is really happy at the school.

My eldest child attended the nursery, currently, my middle child is there and I already have my youngest child's name down to start in spring 2020. All of the staff are extremely friendly and fantastic with the children. They are well looked after and always coming home with new knowledge. I especially love the outside space and so do my children. Highly recommend and so happy my children attend the school and think it is fantastic value for money.
