My daughter comes home every day filled with joy, always excited to tell me what she learnt/did that day. We wouldn't send her anywhere else other than St Andrew's!
My little boy has been at St Andrews Nursery for 2 years now and he has loved every minute. The staff are amazing with him, making sure he is happy and comfortable at all times. His development has been amazing and the support is wonderful. It's such a relief knowing he is safe and cared for so well.
St Andrews is an amazing nursery, significantly better than the other nursery our daughter attended. The communication home was brilliant and they celebrated her achievements with us. The rooms were well resourced and our daughter was always talking(ish) about the fun games and activities. They always sent home all her paintings and craft at the end of term, and we were always blown away. Most importantly, they really knew our child including her likes and her needs, and gave her the best possible support.
The staff at Starlings are all absolutely lovely and you can tell they actually really care. I have found all communication from the nursery excellent and the daily app updates really helpful and lovely to see some of the pictures of my daughter enjoying her day!
We could not recommend the nursery more highly. Our son loves his teachers and is always excited to tell us about the wonderful activities he has done at nursery such as Ball Sports and gym. We are grateful for the regular, detailed updates and pictures on the app and always get a personal greeting and debrief from a member of the team at pick up. The nursery children benefit from use of the first-class facilities at St Andrew's Prep, as well as enjoying classes/activities with a number of the school's specialist staff. Just last week, parents were invited in to watch the children's dance lesson in the beautiful dance studio. We couldn't be happier there and have just signed our newborn up to start in the baby room at 10 months old.
Delighted by St Andrew’s Prep Nursery and the quality and range of the provision. Our son has been very happy since joining and bounds into the nursery in the morning. The staff have helped him develop in lots of ways, and have responded very well to him as an individual. They are very caring, and as a result, our son is very happy. I’d also say the nursery promotes kindness well. We also value and appreciate the use of the school facilities on-site - sports, music and dining hall.
I would highly recommend this nursery. Thank you for a great job.
I could not be happier with St Andrew’s Prep Nursery. My son is deaf and a user of cochlear implants; the staff have been amazing with him, encouraging his speech and signing with him, and I feel that they are genuinely invested in his progress. It is so reassuring to know he is so well cared for. He looks forward to going in the morning and is always so happy when we collect him. They offer a wide range of extra activities, and he particularly enjoys the dance lessons. I would definitely recommend this nursery!
An outstanding nursery. The staff know each individual child for who they are, and as a result, our three children have thrived and developed significantly under their care. The access children have to the wider school facilities and specialist teachers is fantastic. I would highly recommend St Andrew's Prep Nursery.
I moved my daughter here from another setting as she just was not happy there, and since moving my daughter to St Andrew's, she has come on such a long way and absolutely loves going! The staff are all lovely and accommodating, and nothing is ever too much for them.
My son loved attending this nursery. The staff were extremely welcoming and kind. My son particularly loved forest school and the new playground. They offer a wide range of exciting activities for the children. The setting is beautiful and he was always so happy when I picked him up. I would highly recommend this nursery.
Me and my family have been coming to this nursery for the last seven years. Both boys have enjoyed their time here very much! My youngest thrives here with exceptional kind staff. The facilities and resources are excellent with wide open spaces for the children to enjoy. A fantastic timetable of activities with qualified teacher giving a great learning environment and preparation for school. So overall a happy place to be.
A lovely nursery, very caring and enthusiastic staff who work well together. A very varied timetable with plenty of extra curricular activities. Lovely setting. I really like the ability of the nursery to utilise the wide facilities the school provides like the swimming pool, library, Forest School, gym. I thoroughly enjoy the performances that are put on for the parents like Christmas songs, Harvest Festivals. My children have all been so happy here.
My son started in the baby room when he was 9 months old and he and I could not be happier. The staff are wonderful and I feel totally at ease leaving him each day. A fantastic Nursery with great facilities. I would highly recommend this Nursery.
