Head Start Day Nursery

I have twins who started at the nursery in January 2026 being 13 months old, as a first time mum I was anxious about nursery and how the girls would be away from me and did not feel ready for the change or to leave my babies. Their settling in sessions took place during the change in management which made me more nervous however, I cannot fault the new manager, she has been a rock for me especially during the settling in sessions, we agreed the girls needed an extra one and to me makes all the difference to know each child's needs are assessed and met. The first couple of months were hard at drop off and pick up with the girls being upset, that said the updates we received during the day I knew they were enjoying themselves. Fast forward to today and the girls are excited when we pull up at nursery they thoroughly enjoy their time there. The activities and weekly themes put on by the staff are amazing and I truly am grateful the girls attend such a fun, loving and caring environment.

I am thoroughly happy with our experience since the process of looking around and signing up with ease. Majority of the staff recently changed when we started coming and they have all always gone the extra mile to support us especially in an emergency that we recently had. I feel comforted to know that they are safe and looked after in every way. All the exciting activities are really usual for them and for us to get involved.

I was initially really anxious about sending my son to nursery and after looking around a few in my local area, I decided Headstart was the place I wanted him to go. All the staff have been so kind and supportive. My son is very clingy and particular who he will go to so it speaks volumes that he's comfortable with everyone there. He's always got a big smile on his face when I pick him up and it's really nice that you get a run down of how he's been and what he's been up to whilst there.

It's reassuring to know my daughter is in such caring hands, and I would happily recommend Headstart Day Nursery to other parents.

Headstart nursery is a place to be for a child. The environment is full of educative toys and at the same time fun. The staffs are well trained and looking after my child properly. A report of what happened each day is given. My child is also happy to be in the nursery.

Billy has been at this nursery group since he was 9 months old, he is now 4. He has come such a long way, confidence has grown and he loves his teachers. The staff are so kind and good with him. Thank you all for everything you do

Since Gemma has taken over, I've noticed some really positive changes - many of which were definitely needed. Gemma and the team are incredible - absolute superstars.

Lovely nursery and It shows with the smile on my daughters face at drop off 3 days a week!

My child has been well looked after and loves coming in to nursery. She has a great time with her friends and teachers. She's learnt so much since starting. Always comes home happy and ready for bed ..
