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.

My son was 2 years old when we moved to Peterborough, the entire nursery team were so kind and welcoming he settled in very quickly. They genuinely care and take an interest in the children. The communication between the management and rooms is also excellent. They do a variety of activities and I have seen my son's confidence soar. Our son has had a wonderful time at the nursery and I would highly recommend this nursery for its warmth, personalised approach and nurturing ethos.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It was an absolute pleasure to get to know you all and we really hope all is going well for you. Your kind words are much appreciated.

Our daughter started attending the nursery aged 3 and joined the preschool class. We have seen her grow in confidence and really develop her skill set, ready for her transition to school in September 2024. The staff and management are all supportive and friendly. She has a special bond to her assigned key person. She has made good friendship groups, the activities and facilities are excellent. She comes home happy every day. We have been really pleased with the structure/timetable of her days and would highly recommend this Nursery.
It has been wonderful to be part of this journey, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience.

The Peterborough School Nursery exceeds expectations on a daily basis. The staff are attentive, friendly and reliable. Our daughter enjoyed her time here immensely. I have no reservations whatsoever in highly recommending the school. We are very pleased that we had the opportunity to build relationships with the staff, and more importantly, the confidence they inspired in our daughter during these formative years will be remembered long after she has progressed to reception. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team.
Thank you so much for your lovely words and amazing feedback. We will miss you all in September!
They look happy to work there. I think this suggests good management.
My son is always happy to go to nursery and happy when I pick him up.

Thank you for your lovely review. It is so rewarding to know the children are happy to come to the nursery!
We have three children at the nursery and cannot fault it (our eldest has been attending since September 2020). The staff are welcoming and friendly and really know our children. The management team communicate effectively, and we are invited to numerous events at the setting and they provide trips...
The environment and resources are constantly being updated and we find the use of the app helpful.
I have recommended the setting to a number of friends, and we leave our children there with confidence that they are safe, happy and having the best time.
This is so lovely to read, thank you! We really appreciate your feedback and will continue to update and improve resources and opportunities for learning.

My son is so loved in his nursery. They go overboard to ensure he is comfortable and happy. They take their time to attend to his needs and are very keen on his welfare. The environment is wonderful and calming. The sensory room is his favourite place. An amazing place with wonderful staff. I highly recommend the nursery.
Thank you for your amazing review and for sharing your experiences. It is lovely to hear that the sensory room is enjoyed so much!
The staff are friendly and always happy to help. The 3 outdoor areas are beautiful and provide lots of opportunities for outside learning. The rooms are well maintained and toys are kept in good condition or replaced and they have a good structure for learning.

I could not love this nursery and the wonderful women who work there anymore if I tried. I found leaving my daughter so hard but the ladies that care for her have made it so much easier. She's come on leaps and bounds, especially with her communication and definitely her eating. They're also efficient, communicate so well with me about her day and they really try and accommodate days when I need last-minute childcare. I'm absolutely made up that my girl gets to go here and I'll forever be thankful for everyone here the last few months.
Thank you so much for your lovely words and for taking the time to share your experiences.

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!
