The nursery has provided a great learning environment and we have watched our children thrive since starting here within many aspects of their development. My eldest loves animals and it has made a great difference to be able to learn and develop at the orchard through play outdoors and caring for the animals.
We would highly recommend nursery days to any parent looking for a caring, professional and fun nursery for their child!
Thank you, it's our pleasure having your daughters at nursery and know how much they enjoy the outdoor fun and farm school.
My son has settled really well here. I feel like the staff really care about him and want what's best for him. I love all the activities they do with him and I couldn't be happier he is here.
Thank you, we are pleased to be part of your son's early years journey and know how much he loves being outside with his peers.
Nursery Days have been a fantastic nursery so far. Our daughter has settled so well with support. the enhanced provision is incomparable as is the outdoor space provided. We couldn't be happier with Isla's progress.
Thank you, it's been lovely welcoming your daughter to nursery days and watching her grow with confidence week by week.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough honestly. Any time I am asked I will ALWAYS say send your child here.
I was so apprehensive about sending my son to nursery, and viewed so many in the area. As soon as I came for a tour all my concerns completely dissapeared. My son has been in two groups now, as he has moved over to the pre school class. Every single person in that school amazes me. The care they have for my boy, the amazing activities they do every single day.
They are inclusive, understanding, helpful and my son has thrived since starting over a year ago. The orchard is incredible and gives the children the chance to have independence whilst learning in an incredible environment surrounded by animals.
If you are searching in the area, and are lucky enough that Nursery Days is accessible to you, please please don't think twice about bringing your child. I promise you won't regret it!!
We know how much he adores all activities and being outside caring for the nursery animals.
I am super happy that I chose Nursery Days for my sons nursery. Since starting he has started to develop so much. The staff are so friendly and my son seems to love them, greeting them with smiles, especially Stacey, she has been amazing.
We are pleased your son has settled so well and made a strong bond with his key person.
Our daughter has the most wonderful time at nursery days. The staff, particularly her key worker is just wonderful with her, and she has grown so much in confidence since starting here. I am so pleased we made the decision to pick the team here. The activities, the team, the kindness and love just makes nursery days so amazing! Thank you!
Thank you, it's our pleasure to be part of your daughters early years.
Amazing nursery, wonderful staff and fantastic provisions for the children. They offer a wide variety of activities and trips for the children which they get so much out of. Cannot recommend enough.!!
Thank you, we are so pleased to hear this and we know how much your child enjoys the provisions offered to them:
As any parent will know, finding the right nursery for your child is the hardest decision you'll ever make. Our son, has attended the nursery since shortly after his 1st birthday. He has excelled in all areas of his development and personality through the love, kindness and nurture which the whole team provide, daily and most importantly consistently. He adores each and everyone of you.
As an early years teacher, the provision at Nursery Days is outstanding. I don't think we've ever seen two days the same. One day they are cooking or at the orchards, the other they are at the beach or the library. The learning and opportunities provided blow my mind. It is the only setting that I've come across which is so broad and balanced. This is communicated thoroughly with us parents, through Tapestry, which we all live for.
We know we've made the best decision as we've never had a reason to complain.
Thank you all.
We are so proud to provide care for your son and it's lovely to know how at home he feels. We know how much he loves taking part in all our enhanced provisions and being part of the Nursery Days family.
Excellent nursery caring and loving staff and so helpful with all needs it's so nice to see our little girl more comfortable and well looked after always comes home with a smile on her face wouldn't recommend anywhere else
Thank you, it's been lovely to be part of your little girls early years journey and to see how settled she is now and enjoying each day.
The girls have a fantastic relationship with their key workers and can't wait to come home every day to tell me about all the fun they've had at the Orchard, cooking club, day trips that they might have been on and all the singing and dancing.
I knew Nursery Days was the nursery for my girls as my son was there three years ago and it was fantastic then I can honestly say it just keeps getting better and better.
Thank you, Nursery Days for taking such amazing care of my children.
Thank you, it's been great to welcome your family back to nursery days. We know how well they've settled and enjoy everyday they are with us. We are glad to be part of both the children's early years.
We are so happy with Nursery Days and the care our twin girls receive. The staff are warm, caring, and genuinely invested in each child as an individual. The environment is stimulating and welcoming, and our girls are always excited to go in and come home happy and confident. Communication is excellent, and we have complete peace of mind. We would highly recommend Nursery Days to any parent.
Thank you, it's so lovely to hear this and know how happy the girls are at nursery. It's our pleasure to have them with us.
All the team in Squirrels are absolutely amazing and put everything into caring for the children.
As my son Harry is now due to move up to Bluebirds I wanted to say a special thanks to my son's key worker Emily. She really has been an absolute blessing and has made us feel so at ease leaving him, which we never thought would be an easy thing to do. Quickly we realised he was in the safest hands and we know she cared for him just as much as we do.
I know from speaking to others it's not an easy task finding a nursery as amazing as Nursery Days! They go above and beyond and offer so much more than other nurseries.
I felt so emotional that he is moving up and that's genuinely because of the lovely bond he has built with Emily his key worker and all the other members of staff in Squirrels.
To everyone at Nursery Days thank you for all that you do. We are beyond grateful!
Thank you for your very kind words about the nursery and the team. We are pleased to hear your son had such a lovely start to nursery life and made such strong bonds with his key person and the room staff.
My son started nursery here 6 months ago and my wife and I have nothing but positive things to say about Nursery Days. Our son is always smiling when we drop him at the door and we know he is well looked after by the wonderful staff. The facilities and provisions are excellent, with a large emphasis on exploration and being outdoors. Our son is thriving here and we are very happy with his nursery experience.
Thank you, it's our pleasure to care for your son and seeing his smiley face on arrival. We know how much he loves to explore and especially loves his outings.
As a grandparent of a three year old at this nursery I am more than impressed with the variety of activities that are afforded to the children. They are fortunate to have plenty of access to outdoor activities in the orchard and are fully encouraged to be at one with nature. They are encouraged to be kind and considerate when it comes to caring for animals and each other along with being allowed space to explore and learn in a most unique fashion that is second to none, picking up skills in an appealing and exciting way without even realising they are doing so which significantly helps to improve their dexterity, concentration, focus and attention to detail. I am so happy in the knowledge that my grandchild is receiving the best possible pre school foundation and I would thoroughly recommend this nursery.
Thank you, this was lovely to read and to read how much your Grandchild loves their outdoor learning at the orchard and getting involved in all our enhanced provisions.
They have made brilliant progress, supported by the team of dedicated staff, who have been amazing throughout our time.
It's lovely to have both the children at nursery and be part of their early years, they've settled in well. Thank you for your kind words about the staff.
It's so nice now he is talking as when he comes home all he talks about is how much fun his had .
I will highly recommend nursery days as I feel that the care and support for each child is amazing . So thankyou nursery days
It's been our pleasure to be part of your son's early years and watch him grow and build friendships.
I cannot explain to you how well Nursery's Day are! The care, loving and commitment they put into the children is above and beyond. My little girl has been the happiest I've ever seen her since she's been a at this nursery. The chats we have on our way home about her days at Nursery's Days are honestly just so enjoyable to listen to so god knows how she feels. Her vocabulary has become so much stronger and the support the staff have gave my child to become more independent I can't thank them enough. I would 100% recommend this nursery, I don't even live close to this nursery and I'm happy to travel here.
Thank you, it's our pleasure to be part of your daughters early years and it's lovely to hear how happy she is at Nursery Days.
She joined during COVID but they were the only nursery who went above and beyond in affording me access to the space and nursery workers in a Covid safe way. They understood how hard it would be for parent to leave their baby without seeing the space and meeting staff.
The location and facilities are awesome, including the orchard and animals including donkeys. The children get to learn in nature and be free of all the technological noise of our age.
Now my little girl is about to start school and the staff there feel like trusted family members who show my daughter so much love and empathy.
I wish she could continue her learning journey" there in the acres of orchard they have and with the staff who genuinely love their job and bond so well with the children.
If you want your child to have an outdoorsy type of childhood with experienced and nurturing g staff then this is the best nursery by a country mile.
Thank you
Thank you, it's lovely to hear how much your daughter has thrived at nursery and that she is prepared and ready for her journey onto primary school. We know how much she loved the farm school and was always a keen learner.
Both of my children have attended Nursery Days since the age of 10 months (currently 3/4 years) and we cannot talk highly enough of our experience. The staff in all 3 classes have been amazing with the kids and equally helpful and approachable for us parents. A major selling point for us was the access to outdoor spaces/activities and our children have absolutely loved it. Come rain or shine they spend at least half the day outside. In summary, our children have skipped into nursery every day and we have always felt great comfort that they are safe, happy and learning. Valuable skills!
Thank you, we know how much the children adore nursery and it's been amazing to care for both of them. We know how much they enjoy the orchard and all the outings on the minibus.
Excellent nursery would 100% recommend to everyone
Thank you, it's our pleasure to care for your daughter and we know how much she adores all the outdoor learning, especially the donkeys.
