The Maltings Day Nursery

Our daughter is so happy at the Maltings nursery. She started at 7 months old which felt quite early to leave her, but the team cared for her so well that the transition was seamless. She is now 2, moving into the 2-3s room and just as happy as ever.

Very caring and thorough nursery. I feel my child's development, happiness and wellbeing is their main concern. Becky is quick to answer any emails/queries I have. My daughter is very happy here and I will be sad when she leaves to go to school as The Maltings have been absolutely paramount to her and my older son's childhood. I cannot thank them enough.

Our daughter Sophie has attended nursery for the last 3 years - we have been very happy with the level of care that she receives, which is reflected in her happiness going to nursery / pre-school. Prior to applying to the Maltings we only heard good things, which has been our experience. Would happily recommend to anyone.

This is a superb nursery, I cannot recommend The Maltings enough. Becky and her team feel like extended family and our son has a superb relationship with the staff meaning we feel more than comfortable leaving him with them all day. As a parent, you couldn't ask for more in knowing that your kid is safe, happy, well-looked after and having fun, all while learning and developing.

Our eldest daughter started at The Maltings when she was about 10 months old and is now 2. the team at The Maltings have always been brilliant. Our LO loves going and talks very fondly of nursery. They seem to do the right amount of structure for her age, she comes home having leaned new things and sings nursery songs and re-enacts activities like circle time at home.

At the beginning, when she found it tricky to say "bye" to mummy, they were always very reassuring and never seemed to mind if I called/emailed to check how she was doing. The handovers at the end of each day are super, always lots of info and they speak fondly of our little girl which is lovely. She is clearly well cared for (little touches like has never come home in a dirty nappy). Nursery and garden always looks tidy and clean too. Weekly newsletters with pics are also great. Very glad we chose the maltings as our nursery.

The Maltings have gone above and beyond to help our little boy settle into nursery. They have given him a great start to his nursery life and he loves being able to join in with other children his own age. He has become much more confident since starting in September and we have seen a huge leap in his speech. We love seeing the photos of him joining in with activities such as painting, water play, playdough and role play, and I always feel like the staff have listened to what he enjoys at home and they try to offer this at nursery too.

Excellent nursery, staff and my son loves it there. Would highly recommend.

My daughter started at the Maltings in September 2021. She has been so well looked after by the team and nurtured since she started. There is genuine love for the children at The Maltings and their needs are met on an individual level. I would highly recommend them and have been! The whole team are friendly, approachable, professional and have the childrens' care at the forefront of everything they do. The Management team and staff know each child very well and are keen support each child, as best suits their needs. I have been very happy with the care my daughter has received from The Maltings.

Our son started at the nursery in September 2020 when he was 15-months and he settled in so quickly. He loves his time there and happily runs in every morning. The staff have been very welcoming, and it was really obvious on a recent parent consultation call how well they know our son. I really like the focus on outdoor learning. Overall, we're very happy and would highly recommend it.

The Maltings Day Nursery has been such a brilliant experience for our son. The staff have helped him develop confidence in areas he was unsure, opened his eyes to new ideas and given him many learning and development opportunities. Just the fact that he is always eager to go off happily into the nursery and the way he talks about the staff and things he’s learnt with enthusiasm shows us how much he enjoys it. The management staff are communicative and are always ready to help with any nursery or child development queries and are often like a support team away from home.

My daughter started nursery at The Maltings in January and has come on leaps and bounds already. Being a lockdown baby, we were a little nervous about her starting and suddenly being surrounded by lots of new children. But, she enhanced it and soon loved being around friends. The staff go above and beyond to help with anything possible. They are always happy to help. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone; they have so much to offer. We are so glad we sent our daughter here.

I would highly recommend the nursery. My little boy has been attending there a year and a half; he loves going there and gets very excited when he sees the nursery gates. The staff are lovely, very approachable and very understanding to my son's needs; he also loves the food. All I can say is a very big thank you.

We look forward to many more years at The Maltings.

Both my children attend The Maltings. The care they both receive is fantastic. The variety of activities the staff do keeps them happy and entertained, my daughter often comes home telling me what an exciting day she’s had. The staff at The Maltings are faultless, all show enthusiasm and confidence in their roles. I would highly recommend this nursery to anybody, both my children love it there.

I honestly cannot recommend The Maltings Day Nursery enough. I was recommended this nursery by my brother and sister-in-law who have had all three of their children attend. They couldn’t have been more right! Fantastic!

I couldn't ask for better people to look after my girls - thank you!

Both of my children have attended The Maltings Day Nursery from the age of around 11 months. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and always take care to listen to what your child likes and needs and try to ensure that they stick to your child's sleep routine where possible. They always have fun themes and activities planned for the children, and even take them out for walks around Ely and have forest school in the nursery garden which they really enjoy. They provide a varied range of meals and snacks and my children sometimes eat things at nursery that they wouldn’t even consider eating at home! The staff always provide detailed feedback at the end of the day and let you know if they have any concerns or need to make you aware of anything. The folders that the staff put together of the children's work to document their progress are a really good insight into what they do at nursery! I would highly recommend The Maltings Day Nursery to anyone needing childcare in Ely.

My 10-month-old daughter joined the nursery In August 2020 after spending the majority of her lifetime in some sort of lockdown, with limited interactions with anyone other than myself and her mum. The staff were so friendly and helpful with a phased settling in process and explained the current changes to normal practices due to Covid. Our daughter is now very settled and loves everything about nursery. She waves goodbye happily and we see lots of lovely photos of her having a great time in the newsletter. She eats lots of different meals which has helped with her weaning. We highly recommend the nursery and are very grateful for how easy the first few weeks have been for us all.

My daughter has been going to The Maltings Nursery for almost 2 years. She is very happy and has built great relationships with the staff and children. I always feel that she is in a safe, nurturing environment and would wholeheartedly recommend the nursery to other parents of preschool children.

Our son settled in so quickly, much of this thanks to the great staff who he loves! Seeing him happy and thriving at nursery is a joy to see. His special dietary needs are more than met and he’s learning and doing new things every day. Very happy with the care he receives and would certainly recommend the nursery.
