Review from David M (Father of Child) published on 20 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I can't fault Spring at St Bart's. Both of my boys attend, and they have come on leaps and bounds. They both started when they were 6-months-old. Now my oldest is three and my little one is two - they have developed at incredible speeds being at St Bart's. The facilities are outstanding, the food menu is perfect, and all freshly made. The staff are amazing, extremely friendly and always willing to talk to us when picking the boys up. Really have to say that St Bart's ticks all the boxes for a nursery.

Overall Experience

My son has been at St Bart's since the beginning of the year, and I honestly couldn't fault his care. The staff are attentive and accommodating - nothing is too much trouble. The meals they provide are healthy and varied. We are so happy with how he has thrived since starting. We've registered his baby sister to start in a few months. Highly recommend Spring at St Bart's!

Review from Coralie R (Mother of Child) published on 20 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

An amazing nursery. With a very attentive staff that gives love and care to the children. Kids are grouped per age, and they do lots of activities during the day, inside and out. The app where we can follow our child’s day and communicate directly with the staff makes a big difference. Pictures of activities are sent during the day, and observations about the development are shared with the parents. We also choose the nursery for the flexible hours that they offered. We really recommend the St Bart’s nursery. We feel confident to let our child there in a safe place.

Overall Experience

Having had 2 children attend this nursery I cannot praise them enough. Have had nothing but positive experiences and felt comfortable for them to care for both of my children. Both children have been very happy there and they seem to know and treat the children individually which is a good thing not just a number.

We have had such a positive experience with Spring at St Bart's. Our daughter absolutely loves going and has made so much progress since starting. The staff are fantastic, well informed and friendly.

Review from Joanna L (Mother of Child) published on 9 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son loves going to nursery here!
In what has been an unsettling year for him - he first completed three settling in sessions prior to lockdown one, before having to wait another four months to start due to the pandemic, six months later, he is always asking when is he going to nursery next.
The staff are all friendly, and the nursery is very accommodating when it comes to any additional sessions or changes to the days he attends.
I always know that my son is going to be offered a varied and nutritious breakfast or lunch.
The use of the app means I am able to keep in touch with his carers easily, get a picture of his day with regards to eating and to know what activities he has been getting up to during the day.
I have also been more than happy with the way the nursery has implemented safeguards during this pandemic.

The nursery is value for money in my eyes.

Thank you for your kind words, Joanna! It's lovely to know that your son enjoys your time with us!

Overall Experience
Spring at St Bart's is a wonderful nursery where both my boys have grown in confidence and learnt so much. The staff have always been kind, interested and supportive, there is always a smiling face or confident ‘he’ll be fine’ when my little one hasn’t wanted me to leave.

Any concerns or questions have been swiftly answered and I love being able to see photos and comments on my son’s time through the app. I’ll be sad when it’s time for him to leave and head off to school- thank you!

Overall Experience

My son has been with the team at St Bart's since he was ten months old. He is off to school later this year so we will be really sad to leave such a wonderful nursery that has been a huge part of our lives. The staff have been brilliant from day one and made sure he is happy and secure. I have recommended to friends and will continue to do so. They offer a wide range of activities, ballet, music, yoga and more recently forest school, all included in the price as are all meals, snacks, milk, etc. As a baby, they made sure his special formula was purchased and kept separate for him. He has a lovely bond with his key worker who I can honestly say treats her work as more than just a job. Thanks Spring at St Bart's.

Our son enjoys his time at the nursery and always happily spends his time there. We, as parents could not be more happy with the range of activities, professionalism and friendly and helpful service we receive. Children have access to many different areas to play in and get to explore new things. Seasonal activities, like Christmas meeting with Santa, is a bonus.

Review from Aimee (Mother of Child) published on 4 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I viewed many nurseries when searching for a space for my 2-year-old. It was clear as soon as I walked into St Bart's that it held an extremely high standard and understanding of the children in their care.
My daughter settled very quickly. The use of the Famly app is a real bonus to getting an insight into her day and is great for communication between me and her carers when needed. Keeping track of her development and seeing photos of her taking part in ballet, crafts or playing is lovely to see.
The rooms are well equipped and the activities vary on subjects they are focusing on, which my daughter loves. She skips out of the nursery, happy to talk to me about what she's been learning and playing. From planets, books, dinosaurs, she's thoroughly enjoyed the topics they've focused on through play and craft.

The staff are extremely knowledgeable and my daughter absolutely loves her carer. There are also two lovely gardens for all-important time outdoors and the menus are fantastic.

Review from Nicola R (Mother of Child) published on 4 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We love St Barts. My daughter has found it very traumatic starting nursery at the age of two and the staff have helped us in her transition. They have accommodated our wishes for drop off time and regularly update us with how she is doing. Whenever I make contact I am talked to politely and always get help and questions answered. My daughter talks fondly of all staff (including the maintenance man who catches the scary spiders) and mentions many names other than her main carers. It has a family feel about the place. Would definitely choose this setting for any other children that might come along.

Great staff, great nursery. I wouldn’t choose anywhere else. My son loves it here.

This is the best decision I made when having to choose a new nursery when I recently moved to the area.

Overall Experience

My two-year-old son has been attending St Bart’s for a year now and we are extremely happy with the care he receives. I go to work knowing he is safe and happy and getting up to a wide range of activities. The staff are all so caring and from day one all the staff have got to know us as a family and welcomed us. My son isn’t always keen to leave me in the morning but they have made it easy for us to establish a routine with him and he tells me every day when I pick him up that he has had fun.

My daughter loves it here at St Bart's she does so many fun activities, the staff are great and couldn’t be more welcoming. The food is great and homemade. I love being able to see updates when at work of what she’s doing throughout the day. They are on the go all day, she always comes home raving about the activities she’s done that day. I wouldn’t send her anywhere else.

Extremely happy with the care our daughter receives. We can’t recommend the nursery enough. The app is fantastic as it allows us to contact her key worker directly, view photos, see her daily routine and any nursery notifications. We love that she gets to do a variety of activities, explore outside and go to the soft play room. Our daughter is just over one and we’re so pleased we picked St Barts.

Review from Jess H (Mother of Child) published on 26 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending Spring at St Bart's nursery since April 2018; she is extremely well looked after by all the staff and is truly happy there.
My friends who’s little ones go to alternative nurseries are always impressed when I tell them the wide range of activities that St Bart's involve the children in including trips to wildlife parks/play centres, baby ballet classes, arts and crafts, baking and even walks to the local duck pond to feed the ducks.
I would highly recommend all aspects Spring at St Bart's nursery from their healthy home-cooked meals to their dedication to developing and nurturing the children.
I couldn’t be happier as my daughter is thriving and the team at

St Bart's have played a massive part in her overall development; for this, I am truly grateful?

The staff are friendly and cannot do enough for the kids. I get updates all the time on my son's activities and my son always comes home tired from all the things he has been doing. They feed them very healthy food and have been flexible with my working hours, we've even had a couple of days short notice that they could accommodate. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Review from Lucy A (Mother of Child) published on 26 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Love this nursery so much. We viewed St Bart's in September 2018 for our 4-year-old daughter and she had the most delightful year at the nursery before starting school. The nursery staff are friendly, kind, caring and encouraging and our daughter thrived in her confidence and development. They have a great way of preparing children for school and the fact my daughter ran into school on her first day was a testament to how much they had worked with her to build her confidence.

In July 2019 my 6-month-old started at the nursery in the baby room. Being apprehensive of her being so young I was instantly put at ease by the member of staff who managed the baby room my daughter is in. In the 7 months that my daughter has been at the nursery, she has done weekly craft activities, played in imaginative tuff trays, had baby ballet lessons and music time. You are kept up to date on the parent app and get to see pictures of your child having fun. Couldn't recommend this nursery enough!
