Reflections Nursery & Forest School

Our daughter has had a great time this month. With our life a bit upside down with building works and living at the in-laws, she is understandably a bit unsettled - however the staff at Reflections have been so lovely and very accommodating. She settles so quickly now and is always happy when we see her in the garden etc. Couldn't be happier.

Really pleased with Reflections - a proper community underpinned by confident practitioners who know and care for each child. They regularly communicate with us at home and have worked with external agencies to support the individual needs of our child. I've seen our little one grow and learn, becoming a confident and inquisitive child. Super grateful to the whole team. Marvellous bunch.

My daughter loves going to Reflections. The practitioners are great with her and they really take the time to get to know her and celebrate her best qualities. The space and creative activities they do, on top of having all the that outside play are for them to explore, is just excellent. Nothing is by chance at Reflections, and everything is children first.

We couldn't be happier with the outstanding care our son has received at Reflections. The staff create such a warm, homely environment where every child is made to feel valued and supported. The range of opportunities and activities they provide is brilliant - our son has grown in confidence, independence, and happiness since joining. The support and understanding from the team have been incredible, and it's clear how much they truly care about the children. We're so grateful to have found such a wonderful nursery

My son absolutely loves coming here, he never looks back and is always happy on pick up. Everyone is so friendly and attentive to the children. The food menu is definitely a bonus with all the lovely meals they receive. I would recommend this nursery to everyone I know :)

I'm happy because I know she's happy there.

Overall I would recommend reflections to everyone!

My child loves the garden, is painting, cooking as well as doing lots of physical play and reading.

Our little one started at reflections in October 2023 and I can honestly say it's the best decision we have made for him, he absolutely loves it he can be a bit sensitive going on in the morning but a cuddle from one of the staff and he is soon happy and ready for the day, all the staff are kind caring and approachable. I think the option of beach and forest school are fantastic opportunities for the children's learning and discovery. We think it's fantastic that all meals are prepared on site and from small independent companies mostly so supporting the local community. We are so happy with the nursery and love it so much we have already signed our 4 month old up to start next year, all the staff from the office ladies who help with babies, if you're dropping off an older sibling, to the kitchen staff to the handymen everyone is lovely and welcoming, and always smiling and engaging with the children.

My daughter started at Reflections Nursery just after she turned 1 in the baby room, I went and visited a lot of nurseries and as soon I went to visit Reflections, I had such a warm feeling before even entering the building as the outside was just beautiful, whilst looking round I almost cried because the space is so lovely and I knew this is where I wanted her to be. The staff are so lovely and truly amazing and really dedicated to their jobs, they are amazing with my daughter who is nearly 19 months now and she is so so happy there, and has really blossomed since starting and I am so grateful I found such a perfect nursery for her!

My son has recently joined Reflections Nursery, with all the worries of leaving a baby to be cared for in a new place, I could not be happier with his journey so far. Everyone at Reflections are friendly, welcoming and caring. Everyone makes an effort to accommodate the children's needs with a smile on their faces. I'm so happy I have chosen them for my son. Thank you all so much.

Our overall experience with Reflections has been really positive, our youngest started with them when he was 6 months old, he is now 3 and our youngest started when he was 9 months and has settled in really nicely. The staff are incredibly kind and caring and take the time to reassure you and update you which is so helpful, especially in the early days when the children are settling in. It feels like they really take time to get to know children and work hard to make their experience really positive, being really considerate around transitions especially. The kids have a lot of outdoor time which was really important for us. Overall feels like a really nice community and that they really care which is just so important when it comes to your children being looked after.

We absolutely love reflections. My two boys are there and they have the best days. Staff are always friendly and welcoming and they keep them busy all day. The nursery is beautiful and the food menu always sounds amazing. Both of my boys are always happy when they go and come home from nursery and my eldest loves to tell me about his day! We wouldn't send our children anywhere else and would recommend them to anyone.

Our eldest was at reflections until September this year (from age 1 until just under 5) and he loved it. Our youngest is currently 18 months and we are excited for him to have similar experiences that his brother had. The time spent outside is invaluable. The inside spaces are calm and allow for children to explore naturally and with gentle prompts. Another huge plus for us is that the food is all cooked from scratch with the children's tastes taken into account, whilst pushing them to try things they might not have encountered before. The staff are all friendly, welcoming and genuinely care about all of the small humans in their care!

I have two children at Reflections and only have good things to say. The pre-walkers room is lovely, the team there worked wonders with my child who was a very reluctant nursery starter. The Redwood preschool space is great and my child has the best time doing beach school on one day, forest school the next, and then a day in Redwood. It's ideal for their age and they always come home full of stories of fun things they did that day. Special shout out to the two members of staff who run the beach and forest school too, I can't imagine doing campfires with a group of kids but they do it brilliantly and provide really good feedback too.

What a fantastic nursery doing lots of different activities keeping the children engaged. My child has a lot of allergies which the nursery deals with amazingly and nothing is too much trouble. The staff are really friendly and great with the children. My daughter also went here and could not fault the care that has been given to my children.

I do think the fact that the nursery is busier now is apparent in interactions with parents at pick-up and drop-off, the staff don't seem to have the same time or attention for handover interactions as they did when we started. But I know my daughter is having a great time, and she's learning and growing great.

We will be sad when she leaves to go to school next year.

I have been using the nursery for the last 5 years. The staff care about the children and their learning so much. It feels like a family. The nursery is always willing to communicate and are proactive in finding ways to improve. The food always smells amazing and the children always come home happy.

My son has been at Reflections for almost one year. The growth I have noticed with him is absolutely amazing! The staff are brilliant and nothing is ever too much trouble. The facilities at Reflections are great and there is plenty for kids to do each day. The beach trips are a highlight for my child as well as time to play in the garden, come rain or shine! I have already recommended the nursery to several parents who have decided to also send their child here following my recommendations.
