Review from Laura R (Mother of Child) published on 1 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son graduates from Nursery Days in August after three extraordinarily happy years there, following in the footsteps of his big sister. I cannot speak highly enough of the setting. The children spend most of their time outdoors: wisher at the beautiful orchard, which is a short walk away, where they care for animals, play and learn; or in the lovely play area on site. My son has never once been sad about going and has made genuine friendships from his time there. My daughter, who is disabled, had a wonderful time there too. The team are inclusive, kind and experts in what they do. I have total confidence in them and will be forever grateful that my children spent the first part of their learning journey at ND. The manager and the rest of the team are wonderful and we will really miss them when our time as part of ND ends this summer.

Overall Experience

My daughter has had an amazing experience so far at nursery. The staff are nothing but wonderful, positive and patient with her and everybody. I would and already have recommended this nursery to many of my friends and I could not have chosen a better place for my daughter. My favourite and deciding point was that the children are outside a lot, which is great for them!

Reply from Amy Brookman, Manager at Nursery Days

Thank you for your kind words, it's been our pleasure to welcome your daughter and watch her explore each week. We know how much she loves the outdoor areas. Thank you for joining our Nursery Days Family.

Overall Experience

Our son loves coming to Nursery Days, since he started he has grown in confidence and we can really see what the staff are teaching him. He always comes home happy and tells us about his day. The staff are amazing, happy and can tell us everything about our son. The activities the nursery do with the kids are fantastic and educational while being fun and age-appropriate. We love the nursery and wouldn't go anywhere else now.

Review from Angela D (Grandmother of Child) published on 25 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
So my granddaughter attends nursery two days a week. Since starting her confidence has developed incredibly and she loves attending. All the staff that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting are so friendly and are great with all the children.
They do lots of activities as well as trips out in their own minibus or daily walks to the orchard, and playing in their garden.

I would highly recommend a visit to see for yourself if you are considering sending your child to nursery, you won’t be disappointed!

Overall Experience
What an amazing setting for my children to learn, thrive and achieve. The staff go over and beyond to deliver the best experiences that include daily visits to the orchard learning new skills, looking after animals including chickens, guinea pigs and a tortoise! The go on trips using the minibus - which helps the children grow in confidence being away from their care givers. I am always so impressed with the app updates daily.

Thank you Nursery Days.

Review from A M (Mother of Child) published on 20 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Nursery Days has been a pivotal part of my daughter's life since she was 9 months old. Now at 3 years old, she has thrived and learned extensively. The teachers' dedication is remarkable, engaging the children in diverse activities within the local village. The range of activities offered is impressive, and the home-cooked meals are both nutritious and delicious. The level of care, resources, and learning opportunities provided is exceptional.

For parents seeking the finest small local village nursery to give their child a strong start in life, Nursery Days is the perfect choice.

Overall Experience

Having had 2 children attend this nursery speaks volumes in itself, the enrichment the children receive cannot be praised enough, between outdoor and classroom activities no 2 days are the same. The staff are encouraging and supportive of the children's individual needs and I love how they interact with them. I would highly recommend Nursery Days to anyone looking for their child(ren), you will get a feel of how lovely it is and how amazing the staff are the minute you step through the door.

Both of my sons went Nursery Days and I simply can’t speak highly enough of them. They loved it there and all of the key workers were brilliant.

Really genuine relationships to be left behind when they started big school. We can’t thank everyone there enough. Thank you Nursery Days for making such an important decision so amazing.

Overall Experience

Nursery Days is such an amazing place and we feel very lucky to have found them for our daughter. The staff are always friendly and kind. My daughter has formed such bonds with her two key workers and speaks very warmly of her time there. The staff are very communicative and always take the time to feedback on your child’s day at the nursery which is very appreciated. Their days are always full of lovely activities including trips out on the mini bus. I would highly recommend Nursery Days. Thank you for all you do for us.

Review from C M (Mother of Child) published on 19 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son attended Nursery Days from eighteen months to four years. During that time he has gained so much. His confidence grew during, his speech and social skills improved and his willingness to learn new things. His teachers and key workers were very supportive and helpful with learning and tailoring to his individual needs.

The facilities at Nursery Days meant that my son had lots of play and learning outside, which he loved. The teachers encouraged outside learning, which we felt was important. We have already decided to send our youngest child to nursery when they are of age! A great place for little ones to start their first journey into the learning world.

Reply from Amy Brookman, Manager at Nursery Days

Thank you, it was our pleasure to be part of his early years and prepare him for school, we know he loved being outdoors. We look forward to welcoming your new arrival soon.

Review from R T (Mother of Child) published on 5 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have been a part of Nursery Days for almost six years, first with my son and now with my daughter. The transformation they have undergone is phenomenal and we couldn’t be happier with the care and support they’ve provided to our children.
It’s fantastic to see how they cater for and support each child, tailoring their learning and play to individual personalities and likes. They were quick to spot where my son needed some support with his speech and language and with their help he came on leaps and bounds.
We have experienced each of the three age-based rooms over the last six years and can’t fault any of them. The key workers in each are fantastic; so caring for every child. Whilst no nursery is cheap, it’s clear to see that there continues to be huge investment in improving the nursery, be that with an ever evolving outside play area, development of an orchard, or purchasing a minibus to take the children out.

Thank you so much to all at Nursery Days, I recommend you to everyone!

My daughter loves attending nursery, I was very anxious to begin with but the staff were very reassuring and made leaving her and returning to work so much easier knowing she was happy. I love all the outdoor opportunities they offer my daughter as she loves to be outdoors.

I look forward to the daily updates via the app, it’s nice to see her happy and making friends.

I couldn't rate Nursery Days more highly. My daughter absolutely loves coming every Wednesday, so much she doesn't even say bye to Daddy anymore. The key worker is amazing, always having my daughter's best interest at heart and great at communicating with me and updating me on her progress. I do recommend to all my friends with children to come here. Love the fact that the children get taken down to the orchard or out on different day trips.
