Review from Matthew W (Father of Child) published on 16 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Nursery Days is excellent. The staff are very caring, friendly and professional. My child loves all the extra experiences they offer, and we're so grateful as we cannot offer them at home. They have been brilliant in catering for both his dietary and medical needs yet still being fully inclusive. I recommend this setting very highly.

Overall Experience

This is a fantastic nursery which my son has been attending since he was two. The facilities are amazing and the staff go above and beyond to ensure the children are engaged. Every day brings so much variety and they are always findings new activities. Everyone at nursery days seems to have such a passion for making sure each child has an excellent experience. I would highly recommend and will be sad for my son's last day but he will be moving on to the next chapter of starting school.

Overall Experience

Nursery Days is fantastic. My child has been there for 9 months and loved every moment. The staff are very caring and have built strong bonds to settle and develop him. The provisions they provide have given lots of new experiences and opportunities he would otherwise not have had. He is always being encouraged, supported, praised and challenged and, with the adaptions they have made for his dietary and medical needs, I could not ask for anything more. I feel so happy and safe to leave him in their care.

Reply from Amy Brookman, Manager at Nursery Days

We are only to happy to support his needs and feel lucky to help him on his early years journey.

Review from Danielle D (Mother of Child) published on 8 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Nursery Days is an excellent childcare setting and our little boy who has attended for two years absolutely loves it. The diverse offering of activities is brilliant. The children undertake cooking club, they attend forest school where they have a purpose built building to accommodate them and there are many activities set out each day to facilitate learning. I am delighted with the nursery and look forward to my second child attending.

Reply from Amy Brookman, Manager at Nursery Days

Thank you for your lovely words, we have lots of fun on our adventures at the Orchard each week with your son and have enjoyed watching his confidence grow over the last couple of years at Nursery Days.

Overall Experience
My daughter has attended Nursery Days since she was 8 months old and is now in the pre-school part of the nursery. She has had the best experience there, with not just playing, but real learning and making her first friendships. Nursery Days has provided her with experiences we wouldn't necessarily be able to do with her, such as exploring their forest school and the orchard where they learn about all sorts of animals, plants and more. They have a great range of equipment, fantastic play areas outside and in, the mud kitchen, using real tools, so not just the standard painting and sticking.
The staff are phenomenal, so supportive of not just the children but the parents too. Helping them learn all sorts of skills in readiness for school.
The food menu always sounds lovely, we have an update on what they have each week.

The nursery is very clean and secure. Our daughter is happy on every pick up and always excited to go the days she attends.

Reply from Amy Brookman, Manager at Nursery Days

It is so wonderful to hear you're so happy with everything at Nursery Days, it's been a pleasure being part of your child's early years development. We are excited to enjoy more adventures in the lead up to her school transition.

Overall Experience

As a family we absolutely love this nursery, all our concerns have been listened to, great communication from the staff. My kids love coming to this nursery which is a massive reassurance to us that we picked the right school for them. So much for the kids to do and we love seeing their journey on Tapestry.

Review from Jodie M (Mother of Child) published on 18 February 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Our son started nursery for the first time at the beginning of January and during lockdown. We cannot thank the nursery enough to help settle our son and also us. We were unsure if it was the right time with everything going on but the nursery put our minds at rest and has been such a lovely experience. Our son had been looked after by his grandparents for two and a half years so this was a big change. Our son's keyworker is a real credit to the nursery and after a few tears, our son is loving his time at nursery and has a real bond with his keyworker. Thank you!

Reply from Amy Brookman, Manager at Nursery Days

Thank you for your lovely words, your son has settled in beautifully now and we just love how he roars his way through the day as we pretend to be dinosaurs. We look forward to lots more fun and adventures with your son at Nursery Days.

Review from Emily H (Mother of Child) published on 26 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am so grateful I found nursery days for my son. After having trouble settling my son elsewhere, Nursery Days welcomed and settled him without a problem. They always keep me updated with all the things that he has been doing and I can see that it is evident that he has had a good time as he is always happy when I pick him up.

The nursery itself is beautifully kept and clean and tidy. There are lovely toys and activities for the children to do and it’s always safe.

The staff are always friendly, polite and helpful. Most importantly, they look after my son how I would want him to be looked after.

I recommend wholeheartedly.

Reply from Amy Brookman, Manager at Nursery Days

Thank you for your kind words, we are so pleased you chose Nursery Days as we have loved getting to know your son and watching his development week by week.

Review from Cesena F (Mother of Child) published on 15 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has been going to Nursery Days since May and she absolutely loves it. The team in her room are amazing, making both her and myself feel completely comfortable in her new surroundings. Going to nursery are genuinely her favourite days of the week and whenever I drop her off or pick her up she always has a huge smile. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. Not just because of how happy she is there, but also because of how far she’s grown and how much she's learnt since being there.

Reply from Amy Brookman, Manager at Nursery Days

Thank you. We thoroughly enjoy your child being at nursery and watching her little personality shine through each day.

Overall Experience

Since my child has been attending from the age of 2 to 4 years old, he has come on leaps and bounds! From his speech and confidence to eating more foods and of course making new friends. I couldn’t have asked for my child to go to a better nursery and the staff are so lovely.

Overall Experience

My little girl has attended Nursery Days for the past 2 years. We chose it because when viewing, we got the warm and fuzzy feeling where you just know your child is going to be nurtured and cared for. The staff are second to none, the setting incredible since their beautiful refurb. Our child has blossomed brilliantly and is more than ready for school despite being an August baby. I would recommend Nursery Days to anyone and regularly do.

We have loved watching her journey through the nursery and observing her imagination each and every day.

Review from Tiffany P (Mother of Child) published on 29 July 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I have been absolutely stunned by the outstanding experience we've had with Nursery Days. The setting has been renovated to an extremely high standard. It looks natural and homely. The resources are fun, inviting and educational. The staff are experienced, approachable and loving. My daughter looks forward to attending and comes home bursting with stories from her day. The environmentally conscious ethos and love of nature are so important to me, I love the encouragement in those areas - Forest School. I always recommend Nursery Days.

Review from J C (Mother of Child) published on 3 December 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My children have been attending for a month now and the initial show around was excellent and very informative. My child's keyworker is very welcoming and friendly. She encourages my child and makes her feel comfortable. All the staff I have met have been lovely. I particularly like the forest school and my child really enjoys this. Good educational learning. My other child's key worker is lovely and friendly and again ensures a smooth, happy, calm process when dropping off in the morning.

Overall Experience

My children have settled well at Nursery Days and we are particularly pleased with our keyworkers. They both listen to our needs and encourage my children who can be quite shy. On pick up, both my children are full of beans and happy. The nursery offer a lot that is educational and good life skills. I am very pleased with the nursery which is lovely and clean and tidy. The staff interact with the children well.

I am very happy with the nursery. My daughter has settled so well and she has a lovely time, is well cared for and happy. The staff are all very friendly and ensure the adult collecting the child is correct and they seem to have very good safeguarding policies. My little girl has many food allergies and the food provided caters to her needs as well.

Review from A W (Grandmother of Child) published on 12 September 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We have been extremely happy with the four-year experience of our twin grandchildren at Nursery Days. The staff have always been friendly and supportive. The children are greeted by name in the morning, their individual interests remembered and the caring attitude is strong throughout the nursery. The facilities, inside and outside are good and the recent refurbishment of the preschool area is excellent. They seem to have created more space and it looks modern and interesting for the children. We have also been impressed with the work done in preparing them for school and the preschool knowledge and enrichment they have acquired.
