The nursery is great. Our little 4 year old loves to come and play in the garden with all of his friends. The staff are kind and loving and provide him with loads of support. It is well resourced with lots of toys and games but most importantly there is an air of fun and love.
Friendly staff and safe well equipped nursery.
My son attends nursery 3 full days & is so happy to be left in the morning which is a huge peace of mind for me. last week he told me that he loves his key worker.
Very friendly environment/staff, competent staff. Great open day. Good feedback (daily) from staff. Very happy children (activities, food, play...)
This nursery is conveniently located, the rooms are kitted out with lots of great toys and they are always doing lots of interesting activities. The meals are excellent with heaps of variety. The staff are really caring and my daughters love them all. I highly recommend this nursery to everyone!
The children have settled here so well from day 1. They have always felt safe and secure with the wonderful staff. The carers in the rooms are fantastic and look after the children so well. There is consistency with the staffing so that the children always have the same carers every day and this makes a huge difference. All the play especially outside is very stimulating and the children are always happy when arriving. Thank you.
My younger daughter has just left Edwinstowe after four years and her elder sister was there before her, we're very sad to lost our connection with this lovely nursery. The staff are genuinely caring and attached to the children, there are always lots of cuddles, and the children are always happy. As my girls got older and had been in the preschool room for longer, the staff found new activities to keep them interested, and made sure nobody was bored. What's really lovely is the low staff turnover; there are people the children get to know who stay for their whole time at nursery, making them feel secure and giving it a real family atmosphere.
