Knowle Green Day Nursey

I was nervous about going back to work as my daughter was a poor sleeper and very hard work at 10 months. I was sure she would not cope with childcare. However, the staff at Knowle Green were so attentive and made sure they knew my daughter as an individual. I know she is in good hands. Now when we arrive she squeals in excitement. The nursery have encouraged her with walking and talking and eating healthily. The best bit is she is now so stimulated during the day that she sleeps loads better. I cant thank the girls there enough for taking such wonderful care of my daughter.

The support we have received with key childhood development and challenges has been fantastic - dietary needs, potty training, getting dressed, etc.

The nursery is warm, friendly and caring. The baby room is especially 'cosy' which is wonderful for the babies setting in a new environment away from home for the first time. The separate outside play areas are well equipped and the nursery has its own a 'woodland garden'. The staff are one of the nursery's best assets. Many have been with the nursery a very long time so there is continuity for the children.

We have been really impressed with the quality of care our child gets. All the staff are friendly, helpful and well trained, excellent with the kids and create a really positive and happy atmosphere for them. Our child starting attending the nursery at the age of 2 and it was a nervous time with some early tears and adjustment issues as it's a big change from being at home every day. However, the key worker and other staff were amazing, helping to settle our child quickly and ensuring we were updated with progress. Within a month it was actually harder to bring our child home than drop off!

The facilities are really good and they run regular activities to give the children new stimuli, which is important for their development. It has been a great experience for our child, who has developed better social skills and learned to mix and interact with other children really quickly, wonderful for us to see. We now have a second child and intend to send them to the nursery as well, as soon as they're old enough.

My son attended the nursery for a year and he enjoyed every single moment he spent there. The staff are very friendly and caring. I love the environment because kids can play in different places and learn at the same time. My son has built self confidence in expressing himself and has respect for others. The staff are well trained and got good experience with kids. We'll really miss everyone in Knowle green.
