Ladybird Day Nursery

We will be sad to be leaving in September 2020.

The management keep the parents well informed of all goings-on and the daily feedback is great to understand how the children are and find out what they have been doing.

I chose Ladybird Day Nursery for my nine-month-old son in February 2015. My reasons for doing so was purely down to the homeliness feeling the nursery had, the security of the setting, it's cleanliness, the healthy and varied meals on offer and the friendliness and obvious experience of all the staff. On top of all this, in my opinion, it was the best nursery I had visited within the area and the best value. My son attended Ladybird Day Nursery until he started school and during the three and a half years he was there, I cannot fault anything about the nursery or its staff. Because my son and I loved the nursery so much my daughter then started in July 2018 and she is still there. Although the nursery has been sold by its previous private owner, I would still highly recommend it. All of the staff are incredibly kind, friendly and experienced and my daughter loves being there, she never complains and is always full of enthusiasm when I pick her up. Leaving your child to go to work is daunting/upsetting enough but knowing that your child is left at Ladybird Day Nursery takes away all of the guilt/anxiety that a parent may have when leaving your child in daycare.

My son has been attending Ladybird since he was about two and a half. He is now five and he has additional needs. The nursery have always cared for him exceptionally, seen the things he can do rather than the things he finds difficult and they have been brilliant at challenging him to take the next steps so he is as independent and confident as he can be. Nothing is too much trouble and the staff and management have always been very supportive of us as a family. My son loves coming to nursery and the staff have been really good, helping him to join in with the children and helping the other children to understand him so that they can all play and learn together. I often leave him dancing with a group of friends, laughing and having fun. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone. The staff are simply amazing and the children are so well looked after and fed. I think it is a place striving to enable children to thrive and be themselves, and in my opinion, they succeed.

My son has attended Ladybird Day Nursery for three and a half years (he is a September baby so is now one of the oldest at nursery). He absolutely loves it. It makes me happy to know he is so happy and well cared for. I was nervous about going back to work but was reassured how quickly he settled into nursery life and how staff genuinely cared for him and all of the children. He has really blossomed at Ladybird Day Nursery. There is an amazingly good staff retention rate and my son has a real rapport with those he has 'grown-up' with. My son has a developmental speech disorder and staff have gone above and beyond, doing everything they can to support his speech therapy. Two staff members even attended a Makaton workshop run by Cambridgeshire's Speech and Language service and introduced signing into the preschool day. I must add that the food is delicious, tasty and varied. I will be very emotional the day my son leaves Ladybird Day Nursery and wholeheartedly recommend it to friends.

We would definitely recommend Ladybird Day Nursery in Fenstanton.

Thank you to everyone at Ladybird Day Nursery.

Our daughter has just turned 4 and started at Ladybird when she was 10 months old, from day one we have always been very impressed with the service provided. The staff at Ladybird are warm, welcoming and above all very caring. It is very clear that they work hard to create strong bonds with the children and good relationships are formed with parents as well. The staff are all very approachable and key workers are on hand to offer advice or reassurance when needed. Ladybird is a lovely setting, offering a variety of activities to the children, keeping them busy and engaged throughout the day. Most of all our daughter has lots of fun and talks of her time at the setting very fondly. We will be sad to leave in September when its time to start school!

All the staff are friendly and make you feel welcome.

My son has recently moved from the toddler unit to the preschool unit and he has transitioned extremely well; all of the staff involved have been brilliant in helping him to settle in; introducing him gradually to the new environment and always with at least one of his friends, and being very attentive to get him involved in the different activities. He's always very tired but happy at the end of each day, and not in a particular rush to go home, which just shows how much fun he has! I can't praise the Ladybird enough, from the staff to the food, activities and environment; it's extremely supportive in all aspects of my son's wellbeing and development.

Can not fault the nursery, staff, setting, activities or the support I have had from all at the nursery. All the staff are very helpful and friendly. Son really loves the nursery and does look forward to his days that he attends. Son has been at nursery since he was one year old and now in preschool and every department have helped my son with his development and can not praise everyone enough from management, room leaders, room staff and even the cooks all do a fantastic job.

On the occasions that I pick up our granddaughter, she is always playing happily and the staff are always friendly and helpful as they give the daily feedback. The nursery always seems a happy place and is obviously well structured and well run.
