We are very happy with Saltway Day Nursery, the staff are all welcoming, kind, caring people who our son and us are very fond of, making it much easier leaving our son in their care all day. The staff do an incredible job looking after all the children making every day exciting for them, giving them precious learning experiences through both structured and free play, and allowing them to to discover themselves individually as well as in a group. This is particularly important to my partner and I as our son is an only child.
Our child has been attending Saltway for 5 months now and he really enjoys his time there. Although wary to start with the staff were excellent at building his confidence and earning his trust. The nursery has been great with daily communication and updates using the app. We can see what he's eaten, how long he slept and when he was changed. The highlight is the photo and brief description of what activities he has been doing and what he's enjoyed. We're very happy with our experience at Saltway and love seeing our child learn and gain more and more confidence.
The downside for me, unfortunately, is the cost.
Although we are very happy with the nursery setting and the amazing staff, the cost is a lot to consider.
My son loves his time at Saltway Nursery. He is so happy going in every morning and enjoys the range of activities and toys on offer. They spend plenty of time outside doing crafts and other creative tasks. These activities have really helped his development. All of the staff are fantastic and this makes it so much easier to leave your child with them. They always provide a brilliant debrief and it's supported by good information on the management system.
Thank you so much for your lovely words. We are very happy to hear how comfortable you feel leaving your son with us and that he enjoys all the activities the staff plan.
My daughter has started at Saltway this month and the overall experience has been so positive. She loves her days there and is happy and smiley when I collect her. I love the updates in the app in the day letting me know what she's been up to and I feel like the staff care for her like their own. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your lovely words and positive feedback. The team will be so pleased to hear this, it is much appreciated.
Can't speak more highly of the amazing people here. From the awesome manager to the amazing team who look after my little boy. Saltway is a brilliant nursery and such a warm and excellent environment; my children have thrived here! Couldn't recommend it more highly!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are pleased to hear how happy you are with the running of the nursery and the care we are able to provide.
My husband and I are very happy with Saltway Day Nursery. The staff are amazing! They are very attentive, friendly and supportive. Our son is always happy to go into nursery and has thrived being here. I would definitely recommend this nursery.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We are pleased to hear how happy you are with the nursery and thank you for your thoughtful words regarding the staff.
The staff have been excellent at accommodating my son's needs as he initially struggled to sleep well at nursery, but we worked together and it's much better now. He also had eczema, which they were really good at managing. In general, my son has grown in confidence so much since starting nursery, and is more comfortable in social situations as a result. Everything is well-considered and love the updates throughout the day, on the app. The food menu is varied, exposing children to different types of food, which is great. All in all very happy with the nursery. The only other thing to note is fees have gone up quite a bit in the last year, but it's hard to know how much of that is due to increasing running costs.
Many thanks for your review. It is lovely to hear how well your son is doing, and thank you for your kind words in regards to the staff; it is much appreciated.
