We have been with Colets Nursery for 6 years, with both our sons attending from ages 1 to 4. During this time, we have had a fantastic experience. Our boys have always loved going in, and have really bonded with the staff and their key workers. The management and nursery staff have been caring and enthusiastically provide a diverse and creative range of activities that change each day. As well as toys, books and activities in each classroom, They have an indoor large soft play and lots of outdoor space which the kids use everyday. They also provide the opportunity for the kids to participate in external clubs including swimming lessons, which is really unique. All in all, highly rated nursery that I would recommend to anyone in the local area.
Thank you so much for your kind review and for being part of the Colets Nursery family for the past six years. It has been a pleasure to watch both of your sons grow and develop with us. We are delighted to hear how much they enjoyed their time at nursery and that the activities, facilities, and...
We love Colets nursery! Our little boy has been there 4 days a week from 1 year old to 4 years old. He has thrived there, the staff are knowledgeable, friendly and great with the children. It's a lovely little community. We will be sending our next son there too. 10/10.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that your son has thrived with us over the years and that you have felt part of our nursery community. Your kind words about our team mean a great deal, and we are honoured that you have chosen us for your next son as well. We look forward to welcoming him and creating many more happy memories together!
Colets Nursery is fantastic and both of our children love attending. Every day begins with a warm and friendly welcome and the team are incredibly caring and attentive. The facilities are excellent, with plenty of beautiful open green space for the children to enjoy. I always feel confident that I am leaving them happy, secure and in very safe hands.
Thank you for your kind words. We're delighted to hear that both of your children enjoy their time at Colets Nursery. Creating a warm, safe, and nurturing environment is at the heart of what we do, and we truly appreciate your support and trust in our team.
My boys were right at home at Colets Nursery. They loved having loads of time outside and playing in the grounds. The team were so good with them - we were worried about putting the twins in a nursery but they had so much fun and really developed as little boys during their time.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. It has been wonderful getting to know your family and seeing the boys so happy and settled with us. We're delighted to hear they enjoyed their time at nursery and wish them lots of happiness in their next chapter.
We are very happy with Colets nursery. Our son has been going there since August 2025. The staff are so kind and caring, I love that they always stop and say hello to him in the corridor, car park etc., it gives the impression they really know and care for your child. They do a fantastic range of activities, and we love that they try and go outside every day, rain or shine. They even have a giant soft play area - an amazing treat for the children to have this facility on site. The updates via the app are super helpful, with everything including sleep, nappies, food etc logged and seeing the pictures and end of day updates are always the highlight of my day! Pricing is also reasonable vs other chain nurseries around. We are deeply thankful for the great care they take of our son, he seems very happy there and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Colets.
It means a lot to our team to know that the care, activities, and daily updates are appreciated. Thank you for trusting us with your son's care and for recommending us to other families.
Kind regards,
Jacqui Lynch-Blackburn
The variety of activities is excellent, with a great balance of play, creativity and learning. It's clear the staff really understand each child, tailoring support to help them grow in confidence and develop socially.
The staff are the standout - friendly, attentive and genuinely caring. It's so reassuring to see how happy our child is, often running in without looking back!
Communication is also very strong, with regular updates that give real insight into their day.
Overall, a safe, nurturing and engaging environment - we would highly recommend Colets Nursery to any parent.
Thank you for your lovely review of Colets Nursery.
We're delighted to hear your child has settled in so well and is enjoying their time with us. It's wonderful to know our team, activities, and communication have made a positive impact.
Your kind words mean a great deal. Thank you for your recommendation and for trusting us with your child's early years journey.
My daughter has been at Colets Nursery since April 2025 and she loves it. She is excited to go in and will talk about her day when she comes home. They give her so much love and care and we feel so lucky to have found Colets!
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We're delighted to hear your daughter is happy, settled, and enjoying her days with us. It means a lot to our team.
Our son has been attending Colets Nursery from 1yr old. He has the best experience there - they have many enrichment activities with members of staff offering music, baking and language lessons, as well as multiple art, agility and play activities. They try and play outside daily but if not possible due to miserable weather they have an onsite soft play for the children. My eldest son went to another nursery and Colets is sooo much better. Excellent staff and the daily photos, updates and progression reports really help build a picture of our son's day to day life there and how he is interacting with his peers. He loves going into nursery and often gets excited to see his favourite members of staff. Thank you for all your hard work.
Thank you, Georgina, for taking the time to review our nursery. We are delighted to hear that you highly appreciate our team, facilities, and the broad range of our activities. We pour our hearts into everything we do, and it's very rewarding to see children and families enjoying Colets Nursery.
Both of our children went through Colets Nursery age 1 - 4, with our son leaving in September 25 to start school. They both had a very enjoyable EYS experience and I would recommend Colets to anyone. Our son is happy at his new school but he still misses Colets.
We are delighted to hear that your son is settling...
Our daughter is having lots of fun at Colets nursery and comes home saying she can't wait to go back to have more fun! It's so heartwarming for us parents to know she's having a great time there, it really helps to take some of the working parent guilt away!
Thank you so much for your lovely words! It means a lot to us to know your daughter is having such a wonderful time at Colets Nursery. Seeing children enjoy themselves while learning important life skills is exactly what we strive for every day. We're also so glad to know this helps parents feel at ease and confident while getting on with their busy days. Thank you once again!
What truly stands out, however, is the exceptional care and attention the nursery team gives-not only to the children but also to us as parents. The twins have the best fun, learn kindness, enjoy sports, and are well-prepared for school.
We cannot recommend Colets highly enough, and we will truly miss everyone when the twins start school in September.
Thank you so much for your lovely words and for sharing your experience with us. It has been an absolute joy watching your children grow, learn, and thrive during their time at Colets. We are so pleased to hear that they have enjoyed the wide range of activities and that our nursery team has made...

Thank you for your kind words about Colets Nursery. We're so pleased to know your child is enjoying their time here and benefiting from our caring environment. Our team works with passion to provide a safe, fun, and nurturing place to learn, and your feedback means a lot to us.
I have had a nephew that attended this nursery and absolutely loved it. They were very supportive and organised and he loved going. The facilities have recently been upgraded and look great! I hope my little one will be able to attend this year.
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're thrilled to know how much you appreciate our nursery. As a community-focused, not-for-profit setting, we strive to provide the best care and education for our little ones. Your support means a lot to us. Thanks again! Best wishes, The Colets Nursery Team
Although some rooms are a little tired, refurbishment is underway. The outside space is amazing. Our son loves exploring the health club field and nursery playground.
Thank you for your lovely review. It truly means the world to us! We're dedicated to providing the best care and education for our children. We're excited about completing the nursery's refurbishment, which will greatly modernise and enhance our children's learning journey at Colets Nursery.

Hi I'm Jacqui
I'm the Nursery Manager and have had the pleasure of being part of this team for 15 years. A little background on me;
I was raised in the stunning country of South Africa, with my sister and parents. After many years England became my home again, where I met my husband and we had our beautiful, very energetic teenage daughter whom we are very proud of.
As a family, we like to spend weekends together doing things like paddle boarding, bike rides and watching my daughter play football. In my other spare time, I enjoy gym classes and watching TV series and I love to try out new recipes.
Hello, my name is Onyinye, I was born in Nigeria, and I moved to England when I was 7 years old. I have always loved working with children and my passion only developed further when I studied early childhood studies in university. It educated me on psychological, political, philosophical and sociological issues that shape the lives of young children in society. Whilst in my third year, I also completed an early years teacher course. This allowed me to learn methods of teaching in preparation for school readiness. As Deputy Manager - Education Lead, I have the pleasure of supporting our staff in their understanding of early years education and the impact it has on children's later development.
