St Ives Nursery

Since starting at St Ives nursery, I have seen my little boy blossom. I spent a lot of time researching nurseries in the area and could not be more pleased that we made the decision to send him to St Ives. The staff are incredible and get as excited as I do when he reaches his new milestones. I could not speak more highly regarding the care and individual attention he receives; it really does feel like an extended family. Every time I drop him off, everyone knows who he is and they always take the time to engage with us. It was the hardest thing I have ever done leaving him on the first day, but the staff took so much time to make sure that we were both ok and that my son settled in quickly. Promoting a safe, nurturing environment and a keen interest in individual development I could not recommend the nursery more highly: So much so, that I have even extended my contract in my current job so that my son can complete his nursery years with St Ives!

An amazing nursery with amazing staff, who are always really friendly and happy to talk to me about anything and everything!

Our son started to attend St Ives Nursery in September 2019 and he has loved it from the first second. The staff have always been very helpful, knowledgeable and supportive. Our son had to take some time off earlier this year for medical reasons and throughout this difficult time for us as a family, the nursery have supported wherever possible and have always been very understanding. His return to nursery has been handled fantastically and he has quickly settled back into nursery life and seems to be thriving.

St Ives Nursery is a great place for little ones to be taken care of, have fun, enjoy and learn. Individual needs and preferences are accommodated, and there is a feeling of a comprehensive approach in all aspects of care, play, learning and development. The rooms and spaces are carefully decorated with nature motives, over the world landscapes and people. Toys and activities are always exciting. Food is freshly prepared on the spot and there is involvement from the older ones in helping out. Autonomy, talking and handling emotions is encouraged. My little one in the baby room has been very happy in the nursery since the beginning and we could not be more pleased.

Staff are wonderful and always let me know what my son has been up to, what he's eaten, etc. He loves going here and has learned loads since starting a few months ago.

Everyone is very happy and helpful. I always get great handovers and feel extremely happy with my stepchildren attending. Thank you St Ives Nursery!

I’d definitely recommend to others.

My granddaughter attends the nursery and has done for years. We have been to collect her on many occasions and I’ve even been in for her Mother’s Day tea which was a lovely celebration and opportunity to interact with other mums and grandmothers. I would recommend the nursery always.

four. Her entire journey at the nursery has been enjoyable and it has been a pleasure to see her grow and develop. The team are great and clearly have outstanding knowledge of childcare. My daughter has grown into a well mannered, knowledgable, confident girl and I can’t thank the nursery team enough for every part they have played in her development. I would defiantly recommend St Ives Nursery and we will miss it in Sept as she leaves for school.

Would recommend this to absolutely anyone!

My grandson has been going to this nursery since August 2019, he was very unsure for quite a while as he hadn't been to any other nurseries/playgroups. The staff were amazing at helping him settle into the new routine. He now goes in without any fuss and really enjoys being there. The meals he is offered are excellent and as he was very limited in his diet it is nice now to hear that he is trying lots of different foods. Could not recommend this nursery more.

My ten-month-old daughter has been attending the nursery three days a week for over a month now and I am so pleased with how she is getting on. She seems to really enjoy it and gets excited when I tell her she's going to nursery. She has formed a genuine bond with her carer and is always pleased to see her in the mornings and is happy to be handed over to her which makes leaving my daughter so much easier for me. She has formed great eating habits and I feel she has learnt so much in a short time. The staff are so wonderful and friendly, which has really helped my daughter and also me. The systems in place work really well and I would absolutely recommend this nursery.

I am so pleased with how well my daughter has settled into this nursery. She obviously enjoys it as she is always happy when we drop her off and is in high spirits at the end of the day too. I feel confident leaving her with the care workers as she clearly likes them so much already, they do a great job! The food always smells delicious and she comes home well-fed and content. It's lovely when she comes home and we see the new things she's learnt at nursery. She always has a lovely day!

My daughter has attended nursery over the last couple of years and really enjoyed her time. The nursery manager has always been really helpful whenever I have had any questions. The team have taken the time to know my child very well and the reports that I have received show this. Thank you for everything.

My daughter has attended the nursery for the last 3 and a half years, she thoroughly has enjoyed her time at St Ives Nursery. We have seen the nursery change hands which has had its ups and downs but ultimately, we have been very impressed with the nursery. We are now sending our 1-year-old to the nursery in the hope that she enjoys her time at St Ives as much as her big sister did.

My daughter likes the nursery very much. She was happy when I sent her to and picked her up from nursery. The staff are friendly and nice to my daughter, who is happy to share with me what she learned from nursery. My daughter learnt good habits and she is now looking forward to going to nursery every day.

St Ives Nursery has been absolutely incredible with the learning and development of my boy. We moved to Cambridge and chose to keep him here as he was so happy and settled and he enjoys coming each week. All of the new resources and gardens look brilliant, it is a shame he will be going to school this year as I know he will miss everyone. Amazing all round.

My nephew has attended the nursery since he was a baby and is now in his last term before school. It's sad to think his journey is nearing an end at St Ives. I cannot praise the team enough for the care and education you have provided.

My little girl joined the nursery in April 2019. The staff are all friendly, nice and patient. They kindly help my little one develop different kinds of skills, including speaking, singing, playing etc. Special thanks go to two ladies in particular. My daughter was happy when she went to and came back from nursery. St Ives Nursery is a fantastic place where you must visit if you trying to find a nursery for your little one.

Overall the transition from our daughter being mostly with us to spending whole days at the nursery has been smooth and easy.
