The team where my son belongs are excellent. They supported him in everyway they can. The SENCO coordinator of little oaks and my son's key person helped him a lot with refferal nad paper work to support his needs. I cannot thank them enough.
We always try our best to ensure that facilities and activities meet the needs of the children we care for on a day to day basis, but we are also happy to listen to any feedback if you feel improvements can be made.
I couldn't have asked for a better nursery for both of my children. From the personalised care, to the friendly and understanding greeting in the morning, The Peterborough School nursery go above and beyond to make your child and your family feel cared for, looked after and nurtured. It is a warm and understanding environment, where all children thrive and flourish. Both my children loved going and went in with smiles on their faces and left just as happy. There is so much at the nursery to stimulate and occupy, and for the children to do, both inside and outside. My son particularly loves the 'sand cave' as he calls it! The practitioners take time to know the children and what they like, and build this into the activities they do. So many opportunities are provided for the children to do and experience lots of exciting things such as firefighter visits, farm trips and Christmas parties. I also love the PE provision as well as the use of the school facilities. Overall amazing!
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments. It has been a joy to get to know both children and we wish you all the very best for the part of your journey.
We couldn't be happier with The Peterborough School Nursery! The staff are truly lovely and welcoming, always providing informative updates on our son's day and clearly fantastic with all the children. Our son absolutely thrives on the routine and loves all the activities, especially the fantastic outdoor spaces which offer so much room and so many toys for them to explore. It's always spotlessly clean, which is a huge plus. We also really appreciate the App; it's incredibly easy to stay updated on his day, meals, and for seamless communication. Overall, it's a really wonderful nursery!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and helpful feedback. We love the outdoor spaces too!
Extremely pleased with the level of holistic care this nursery offers. The staff are extremely professional and fully invested in every child's development. Would 200% recommend PS Nursery.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, we are so proud of the team here and glad that you and your family are happy with the care and dedication your child receives here.
Having sent our child to another 'outstanding' certied nursery in Peterbrough, I can confidently say this nursery surpassed all my expectations. The staff are caring and it is truly amazing how invested they are in every child's wellbeing and development. The inside area is clean, food is nutritious and outside space is spectacular! I am extremely pleased with our overall experience and would definitely recommend The P S Nursery to other parents.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, we appreciate your positive comments. We are very proud of our team and I am so glad that your experiences with us have been so positive.
The team have been fantastic working with my little one, from the minute she joined as a toddler, she's felt comfortable. Her key carers have worked hard with her through her developmental stages and it's been amazing watching her come into her own, becoming more confident and expressive.
Thank you do much for your amazing review, it really is lovely to see the bubbly, confident little girl we see now!
She has had access to Spanish Lessons, sports and forest school and almost never wants to leave at the end of the day.
Staff are fantastic, welcoming and happy to provide an update at the end of each day. This is in addition to the updates you receive throughout the day on the app. I can't recommend this nursery enough.
This is amazing to hear and why we do what we do! Thank you for sharing your experiences.
I would highly recommend the Peterborough School Nursery. My son has attended since 18 months old and has made excellent progress both socially and academically. The staff are welcoming and kind and know the children really well. They provide lovely experiences for the children and value outdoor learning. Communication is good via the app.
Thank you for your review, it is great to hear that you are having such a positive experience.
The staff are approachable and professional. The manager seems to really care for the children which is reassuring when leaving your child in their care. I have observed how kind and caring the staff are with the children.
I am pleased with the nursery and always recommend to my friends. My eldest went to school well prepared and it was noticed by the school that he was well prepared - already being able to spell his name and count way above 10 (which is what they look for).
This is wonderful to hear and we definitely enjoy it when he comes to drop off or collect! We have a wonderful team and we are very proud of the work they do.
Both my children have/are attending the nursery. The staff are amazing to deal with and so accommodating and understanding of changing situations for children. Helping them to settle in and feel at ease while learning.
It is wonderful to hear your positive experiences for both children, thank you for sharing.
They have a clean structured nursery and the staff are kind, and knowledgeable. They are open to suggestions and the quality of toys and resources is fantastic. It helps that it is connected to the private school.
This is lovely to hear, we find the connection to the school a great asset particularly when transitioning to Reception. Thank you for your lovely feedback.
TPS Nursery has done a fantastic job looking after both of our children. They provided incredible support to my son and we couldn't have asked for a better setting for him to grow and prepare for school. We had no hesitation in sending our daughter here.
The staff are incredible and should all be very proud of the positive impact they have on these children's lives.
We also love it when he comes back to see us and hearing about his day! We are very proud of the staff and very grateful for the excellent job they do. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Highly recommend the Peterborough School Nursery! Our son started here in September 2024 and right from the start the staff were friendly, caring and considerate, which helped him to settle very quickly. The staff always keep us up to date via the app (which is very easy to use!) and you can see clearly that all of the staff have a great love for the children. It's a joy to see that our son has such a special bond with his key-worker, and this fills us with complete confidence he is in the safest of hands. The daily activities and facilities are great so our son is always happy to go to nursery and gets excited when we talk about the nursery and his friends. We cannot fault the service we have received and are very grateful to all of the staff - Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words, we love to hear all the stories too!
Our daughter started at the nursery Sept '24 and we highly recommend it. The settling in process was so thorough that she was more than ready to start! Staff are friendly and upbeat. They seem to enjoy their jobs and seem to genuinely care about the children. The app they use is really useful and they update it throughout the day. Our child is always happy to go and we feel confident she is well looked after.
We are so please to hear that you had a wonderful experience, particularly around the settling in period which can be hard sometimes. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
I have had two children go through TPS Nursery, and both have thrived. The nursery is very accommodating for individual needs, likes and dislikes, I feel like they know my child very well. TPS nursery entertain the children with lots of different activities each day, plus they offer optional clubs and also host lots of different events where you can go in with your child. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I 100% recommend TPS nursery!
Thank you for your wonderful recommendation, we enjoy the events as much as you!
The nursery is amazing at keeping parents updated throughout the day. They have an app where staff share updates on what she's doing and what has been done. You can also message them directly if you have any questions or want a live update, which is especially reassuring when your little one is feeling unwell or having a bad day.
The staff are absolutely lovely-so friendly, supportive, and reassuring, especially for a first-time parent. They create a warm and caring environment that has really helped my daughter grow in confidence. I'm so happy with the care she receives and the positive impact the nursery has had on her development.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It has been wonderful to see her grow and develop with us. We truly do have a wonderful team of caring staff!
My child smoothly adjusted with environment the peterborough nursery provide. They are very supportive and helpful. I can see my child's confidence is growing each day happily coming home. Best nursery in peterborough!
This is lovely to hear, thank you for sharing you wonderful experience with us.
Amazing facilities, very helpful staff.My kid is very happy in this nursery and she is very excited. They provide healthy and nutritious food for the kids. Very clean environment and lots of open spaces to play.
Thank you for your lovely review. We will be looking to update the menus soon, so please let us know your little ones favorite meals!
My son has been going to The Peterborough School Nursery since he was 11 months old. He is now in preschool and has had the most amazing time at the nursery. We are always welcomed with a smile and the staff go above and beyond to care and nurture him. I am so happy with the nursery that my next child is due to go next year. The service we have received is excellent throughout- all thanks to all the amazing staff.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experiences with us. We are so pleased that you all enjoy coming to nursery and we are looking forward to starting the next chapter with you.
Both of my sons have attended this nursery, with my second son joining the baby room this year. The baby room team are warm, friendly, very caring and supportive. It's great to see my son happy to be dropped off, sleeping well and safe.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, we love seeing happy faces in the mornings.

Professionally, the most important thing to me is that the child is at the centre of everything we do. We play a vital role in their development and every child deserves the best opportunities. I have a great passion for natural resources, outdoor play and child-led activities. I love seeing children experience new things and the joy they feel when they discover they can do it!
My career has consisted of retail management, nursery management and operations management for different-sized nurseries. There have been a range of different settings, ranging from small 46 place nurseries, up to the large 124 places. These nurseries had a range of needs, and it was my job to support them with everything they required: from day-to-day needs, preparing for Ofsted visits, parent liaison and much more. I enjoy supporting nurseries with, all the day-to-day needs of a busy nursery and team, as well as showcasing the things we do every day that are outstanding and deserve to be shown to the world.
I live with my husband, my teenage son and my very special cat! As a family we enjoy travelling and visiting new places, we particularly like sunny holidays and sports arenas!
