Knowle Green Day Nursey

The staff at Knowle Green, especially the Ladybirds carers, have gone above and beyond to ensure my daughter’s return to the nursery after the Covid-19 lockdown was smooth, safe and stress-free - not only for her but for us as parents. Even after tearful drop-offs that are inevitably part of this painful transition, I still feel reassured of their skills and commitment, seeing how my daughter’s needs are immediately identified and addressed. If she needs comfort, she receives it. If she needs distraction, she gets it. If she needs attention, it’s there. I am happy my daughter has so much fun over there, where she engages in fun activities, especially messy play, continues to develop and enjoys the company of her carers as well as other children in her safe bubble. It makes my work and day easier knowing she’s safe and looked after. So, thank you.

I have had one child go through the nursery from ten months old. The nursery has always been great with him and he enjoyed his time there and the preschool team are especially good at getting the children ready for the transition to school. My youngest is currently in the nursery and has been since he was ten months old also. He thrives day to day and has the best keyworkers who communicate with me well and encourage his development. He is looking forward to going back soon.

My daughter has attended Knowle Green nursery for over a year now and absolutely loves it. She is thriving there and has made special relationships with her key workers, other staff and her friends. The variety of activities she pursues there, never have her bored, and she is always excited to bring home her latest artwork or to tell us about her day. I have every confidence in leaving my daughter at Knowle Green, in the knowledge that she will be cared for to the highest level and all of her needs met unconditionally.

I can confidently say that it would have been much harder without the support and environment provided by Nursery.

I would highly recommend the nursery.

I cannot fault the nursery during lockdown and what must have been such a difficult time for them. They have kept us up to date with their communications throughout, and have instilled confidence that they are trying to make it as safe as possible for the children's return.

My son has gradually settled in and now usually recognises and will willingly go to the staff, who seem to have a good relationship with him. The room offers lots of different activities throughout the day for the children to get involved in and the staff is aware of the types of activities that he enjoys most. On occasion, it seems difficult to get information on how he has been/activities.

My son has settled very well into the nursery, he is very excited to come into nursery, all the staff are very welcoming to me and my son. If we have any problems they are always there to help as best as they can.

Our daughter has been going to Knowle Green since she was a year old. Everyone in the ladybird room took the time and effort to make sure she was comfortable and we could see the change in two weeks itself. Within three months, we were able to transition from half time to full-day and our daughter seems to be really enjoying her time. She seems to be learning something new there every week and also seems to be eating very well since she started there. We have really liked our daughter's time here and would highly recommend Knowle Green.

My son has been at Knowle Green Day Nursery for one year now. All the staff are incredibly helpful, warm and welcoming. Most of them seem to know my son already despite him only being in two rooms so far. Nothing is an issue for them - whether it's dietary requirements, support with sleep and us wanting to use reusable nappies. My son has many friends at Knowle Green Day Nursery already and happily learns from staff all the time, I am so happy that we chose Knowle Green Day Nursery for him and know his experience there will help him become a well rounded individual.

Our daughter has an amazing time and will no doubt be well prepared for school by the time she finishes.

I feel that my children are flourishing here. Recently, I received a lot of support from staff who assisted us in planning for a new dietary need in relation to one of my children. They clearly explained what steps the nursery would take to implement this change. In fact, we have adopted the same action plan at home.

The staff at Knowle Green have gone above all expectations. Always have a friendly welcome and everyone knows each parent, child and sibling. I couldn't ask to have a better team looking after my daughter.

Thank you guys for your support.

The staff were receptive to our request to move our son to a more advanced class as he was keen to walk more. Prior to this, he was in the one room for as many as 10 hours per day, which we felt was too much. There was an initial reluctance to move him but the staff did act after a couple of requests. Our son is now thriving - he likes the indoor/outdoor arrangements of his new classroom. There are plenty of books, toys, musical instruments. The staff take a real interest in appropriate and stretching activities.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for over a year. She enjoys her time there and has made some nice friends she likes to play with. We coordinate her learning and development at the nursery to what we do at home, which is very useful. We enjoy receiving updates on activities she conducts at the nursery.

We are extremely happy for our daughter to go to Knowle Green Day Nursery. She loves going in. The staff, food and activities. The staff is fantastic and the care is great. Our son also went to this daycare up until school age and we were obviously pleased with the services then as well and we didn't have to think once whether we would put our daughter in too. The only thing I don't appreciate is the amount of sweet/sugary puddings (especially for under 2-year-olds, who should avoid these as long as they can for their teeth sake).

My son is just about to start pre-school and has attended KG since he was a baby. I have been so impressed by the team's attentive and caring approach - not just towards his development but towards his health and wellbeing too. I am so glad that we selected such a fantastic place for my son to spend his days surrounded by such wonderful and caring people. Thank you, KG!

Knowle Green nursery is a great nursery. They are caring and my daughter looks forward to attending. I am very happy with the care she receives.

My daughter is so overjoyed when coming to nursery. She has settled extremely well and has built very good relationships with the practitioners in her room. She has been getting into a better routine due to the amazing staff at Knowle Green Day Nursery (Staines). When I go to pick my daughter up to go home, she does not want to go. She is also tried to get the practitioners to carry on playing and blows them kisses when she leaves.
