Overall Experience

The workers at Apricot day Nursery have been amazing! I was very uneasy when I first dropped him off due to him being very clingy but their dedication and careful manner my son is always settled and gets very excited when arriving.

Overall Experience

The care At Apricot Day Nursery has been wonderful for my child's development. She has really settled and grown as an individual in the Sunbeams room. She loves the outdoors and it's great they have a safe outdoor space with free movement it is perfect for when the weather is warm. They maintain good communication with the parents on a weekly basis. Also good at giving you time when you are worried/would like to discuss something.

Overall Experience
My son is very happy at Apricot Pre-School. He never wants to leave which shows how much enjoys his day. The new uniform is a very helpful tool getting up in the morning routine ready for school.

We love listening to the stories he has listened too and his view of his day.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been very happy during her time at the pre-school. I think the staff are very friendly and approachable. The new lick of paint has made the pre-school look clean and refreshed. My son also came to the pre-school and he never had any issues.

Review from Tricia H (Grandmother of Child) published on 13 November 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughter and son-in-law are both in the armed forces. In June my daughter went 'out of area' and my son-in-law was working away too. I was more than happy to take care of my grandson.

Because I work full time on the same site as Apricot it was logical to move him from his base nursery. The staff were very accommodating and helpful with the move and made us very welcome.

I cannot praise more highly all the staff at Apricot. I feel l shared the four month experience with warm, friendly, caring people. Thank you all.

ps My grandson is now back with his parents, a happy, talkative little man and as if nothing had ever changed.

Review from V R (Grandmother of Child) published on 25 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

All four of my grandchildren have attended this nursery and I cannot fault the outstanding care and education provided. My grand-daughter has recently started and the staff have helped her to settle in and develop strong attachments with her. I collect and drop her at nursery and am always given fantastic feedback and kept up to date with her learning and next steps and ideas to do at home.

The nursery has also recently been updated and redecorated which looks fantastic. I cannot express enough gratitude to the outstanding staff, management and nursery.

Keep up the good work!

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Apricot Day Nursery for around 5/6 weeks. She has settled in really well. All the staff are lovely and friendly and I am happy going to work knowing she is being looked after well. My daughter's socialising has come on leaps and bounds in the short time she has been there. She was so clingy before. She is also eating so much better now. The food provided is brilliant and she eats lots of new things. I am so glad we chose Apricots. My daughter is very happy there.

Review from Lisa M (Mother of Child) published on 22 February 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

When we were first searching for a nursery for our daughter, we were looking for a place with a nurturing environment. This is exactly what we found at Apricots. From the moment the children walk in they are greeted by the staff with a smile and hello. All of the staff that have played a role in my daughter's care have gone above and beyond to provide fantastic care, to helping her learn and grow. We receive weekly updates of what learning has taken place and love how the children's work is displayed on the walls. After every session, the staff are fantastic at telling me what our daughter has been up to. Any new achievements she may have achieved. We are very happy with how our daughter is looked after by the staff. Thank you, everyone.

Overall Experience

I have been nothing but pleased with Apricot Nursery. All the staff there are lovely to my daughter and she loves being there. Also, the food they provide sounds really nice. They are always so nice when I or my mum go to pick her up and tell you everything she has done and how she has been. They always send weekly emails to us, keeping us updated which I think is a lovely touch.
