University Nursery at Edwinstowe Close (Cambridge)

Both of my daughters have attended Edwinstowe and have thoroughly enjoyed their time there. The staff feel like extended family, taking great care and patience to help them settle initially, supporting and celebrating them as they flourish and getting them ready for school without pressure. There is a close-knit and warm family feel to every room. Multiple former key workers still ask after my eldest who is now at school, and my youngest already knows so many of the staff and kids. We've been very impressed with this nursery and would highly recommend it.

Really fab experience, out son has lived and learned a huge amount during his first year at Edwinstowe. We have an ongoing dialogue with staff, who show our boy all the care and affection in the world. He's learned sign language, and routines, and manners, and socialized and had loads of fun and engaged with lots and lots of people, learned how to do many things and interacted in many ways which simply wouldn't have been as effective had we not enrolled him. We can't thank Fran and the team enough for the care they take of our son.

They even have air conditioning, which was amazing during the heatwave! Everything has been fantastic so far.

The staff are amazing, they keep us up to date with what our child is doing throughout the day using the app and provide us with pictures if our child has found an activity they are really enjoying. They are always welcoming at drop-off and pick-up, greeting you with a smile and are always happy to have a natter. We made the right choice being here!

We have found Edwinstowe Nursery to be absolutely exceptional in their care of our daughter. In particular I would like to highlight how well staff members understand the specific individual needs of each child, as well as the incredible work key workers do to make children feel comfortable when something is new or if they get distressed. Having now been in every room from Caterpillars through Pre-School, we feel our daughter has had the best possible support in her growth and development, as well as emotional support when needed, from everyone at Edwinstowe.

Have 2 children attending Edwinstowe and they both absolutely love it and adore the staff there. We feel part of the family and like our children are part of the nursery family too. Genuine care and interest is taken for our girls and we feel so pleased to have found Edwinstowe. It will be truly sad to leave but thankfully that's not for a good few years yet!

The food is excellent and Bea has eaten really well from the very beginning. She naps consistently and is always very well cared for. Everyone I interact with at the nursery, not only in Bea's room, is truly lovely. Edwionstowe has a very positive, welcoming atmosphere, and Bea is absolutely thriving under their care.

My daughter has been attending for just over a month, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the care and support she has received. She is 9 months old and currently going through separation anxiety, but the team have made her feel so safe, comfortable, and engaged that the nursery truly feels like a second home for both of us. The staff have clearly put so much thought into creating a nurturing environment with strong safeguarding measures, which gives me complete peace of mind. The freshly prepared food is a lovely, and my daughter has been thoroughly enjoying it. Overall, we've had a wonderful start and would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery.

We've seen so much positive development in our daughter-from her confidence to her social skills-and we credit a big part of that to the wonderful team here. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience and highly recommend this nursery to any family looking for a loving and supportive place for their child.

We have been absolutely delighted with our start at Edwinstowe Close. Both our children have been hugely welcomed by very warm and caring staff, and have settled quickly into the lovely rhythms of the nursery day. As parents, we have also been made to feel very welcome, and our engagements with the team have only been exceptionally positive and helpful. So, in short, we are very happy, and grateful, that our children can go to Edwinstowe!

We also really appreciate the transparency around food and nutrition, with menus communicated clearly and parents being kept in the loop. The overall atmosphere is one of sensitivity and openness. Our son is now in his second room at Edwinstowe (currently in the Ladybirds group), and we continue to be extremely impressed. Having compared this

We have two children at Edwinstowe and cannot praise the nursery enough! Everyone on the nursery staff is so kind and they care so much about each child. They have done everything in their power to help our two feel at home and to learn and grow. Whenever either of our children has had any special needs, they have bent over backwards to help. Because the nursery is small and all the staff move between the rooms (though they are primarily based in one), everyone knows all the children and it really feels like a family. Both our children love coming to nursery every day.

My son enjoys his time at nursery and has formed lovely relationships with the staff - which makes it easier dropping him off! I really appreciate the handovers and updates too. Thank you Edwinstowe Nursery for caring for my son and making sure he's well looked after.

The nursery staff are excellent at ensuring that the child feels safe and well taken care of. They go out of their way to have different themes every day to ensure the child is engaged. It is very daunting sending your child to nursery away from you, but the nursery puts us at ease knowing they are well looked after.

The staff at University Nursery at Edwinstowe Close (Cambridge) have been amazing, helping my son settle in when he was just 9 months old, and recently with his move to a new room. He has formed lovely bonds with the staff and he waves and says 'hiya' to everyone when we arrive. I'm always impressed that everyone we encounter knows his name and greets him with a big smile. He is very happy there and I feel really confident that he is in good hands. Also, being a first-time parent I have found the staff to be incredibly supportive and always have time to answer questions or discuss anything I'm a bit worried about.

We strongly recommend Edwinstowe!

Our baby has been attending since she was 7 months. She is always very happy to come to nursery and she's learnt so much over these months. We'd totally recommend it and know we are leaving her in very safe hands.

Excellent care, facilities and activities. Amazing, caring staff. We are very grateful for how well they looked after our son and helped him develop. Our boy really enjoyed coming here over the last two years. There were always really exciting activities. The doors to the garden were always open so children always had the option to play outside. Our boy made so many friends and liked all the staff in his rooms. We strongly recommend this nursery.

Edwinstowe is a true home away from home. The staff are always smiling. They have an infinite imagination and come up with creative ways to make learning experiences matching children's interests. They also teach them independence, from putting clothes on, to table etiquette, to expressing themselves assertively.

Excellent members of staff who take a personal investment in teaching and nurture the children. A nicely structured environment that is also open and encouraging, that allows each child to develop naturally in their own way but not left out or behind.
