I enjoy hearing the exciting stories from my nephew about his new nursery garden! He tells me that's his favourite thing to do. Not only is the indoor space amazing the gardens have recently been refurbed to a very high standard.
Thank you for your lovely review!. We're so pleased to hear how happy you are with the newly refurbished environments and our amazing new outdoor areas.
I have seen how much the nursery has benefited my grandson. The guidance, love and support from the staff has helped him develope into a really caring, well behaved little boy and has readied him for school.
Thank you for your kind review. We are delighted to hear how much the Nursery has benefited your grandson.
My nephew absolutely loves attending St Ives nursery. He looks forward to his days spent here, he always has lots of fun and enjoys telling the whole family about his day. The staff especially make St Ives nursery such a warm and welcoming place for the children, their level of care for the children is impeccable.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are thrilled to hear how much your nephew enjoys attending and how pleased you are with our wonderful staff.
The staff always take an interest in what the children have been up to, remember the jokes they share and the books they enjoy. The team are invaluable, and we’re so grateful for everything that they do to make the children feel valued, and create a fantastic environment.
The chef also deserves a mention, the items on the menu smell delicious, and our son absolutely loves the food on offer.
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear how happy you and your son are at Nursery. And we agree, the chef is amazing and we all love his food!
On a personal level, the nursery staff are accommodating, kind and understanding. Our daughter was stillborn in 2015 and they have worked her into our son's life with an ease and grace that is admirable. Rarely is anything ever too much and I genuinely enjoy interacting with them.
The nursery has also undergone several improvements over the past year in terms of renovations and security - all well done and reassuring that they are investing.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are thrilled to hear how happy your son is at our Nursery and that he is developing well. Providing individual support, tailored to each child, is of prime importance to us, so the staff team were very pleased to hear your positive feedback about this aspect of your son's time at Nursery.
My niece loves her time at Nursery. She is always happy and she is developing well in all areas. The staff are so friendly, nurturing and hard working. It's great to see my nieces confidence growing all the time.
My Granddaughter is so happy in this nursery, she is gaining in confidence and progressing really well. The staff are really welcoming and the setting itself is really well resourced.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so pleased to hear how happy your granddaughter is at our Nursery and how well she is progressing.
Fantastic nursery in an ideal location for us.
The staff are amazing. Extremely friendly and caring.
The food provided is brilliant. A very well balanced diet which is all cooked and prepared on site by the in house chef.
The children always seem to be doing different activities, including having plenty of opportunities to go outside when the weather is good.
The management team are always on the ball with everything going on at the nursery and are always there if you have any problems or queries.
Thank you from everyone at St Ives Nursery for your lovely review. We were really thrilled to hear how pleased you are with the Nursery and our staff team.
My daughter (2) loves to go to nursery here! It is the highlight of her week. All of the staff are so lovely and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Not to mention the pure jealousy I have over the amazing smelling dinners when I pick her up! Couldn’t be happier with my choice of nursery!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. The staff team were so pleased to hear how much your daughter loves attending.
A great nursery. My two year old Granddaughter has grown and developed so much since attending and loves the time she spends there. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your kind review!
St Ives Nursery is a lovely nursery, with such lovely caring staff who are always happy to help. My little boy has settled in really well and loves his time at nursery. I have had two children at the nursery over the last five years and they have both had the best time and thoroughly enjoyed their fun time at the nursery. It feels a happy place and the children always look like they are having fun. I always feel happy and comfortable leaving my child in such caring hands. The staff are amazing and work so hard.
Outstanding nursery. Couldn't be happier or recommend enough. My son loves coming to nursery and looks forward to everything they have to offer him, he really loves all the staff.
The atmosphere and environment at the nursery is always wonderful and energetic, with all staff members, whether looking after my child or not, asking after him by name.
I could not ask for a better place or better staff, to help us encourage and develop our son's growth in these early years.
A really lovely nursery where the children are cared for and cherished. It has a lovely warm atmosphere and both my children have been very happy here. Very friendly and kind staff. Delicious home cooked food. Would highly recommend.
The nursery also offers good nutritious meals.
As a parent, I have always found the staff very welcoming and remain impressed how all staff across the setting know each child and parent by name. I have always felt comfortable discussing my child's development with them and feel able to ask any questions I may have.
Whilst handovers remain good, I do miss the book we used to have in which the key worker would record nap times, food eaten, nappy changes etc. This was useful for me come home time and a lovely keepsake.
Our daughter has only been coming here for just under 3 months and, all the staff have helped her come out of her shell massively. She comes home telling me about her day and is now expressing an eagerness to go, all thanks to the amazing staff who work there, so a big thank you to their dedication, time and hard work. To help our little lady become the confident little girl she is.
My grandson attends this nursery and I find the staff professional, friendly and helpful, it's a great little nursery and I would highly recommend it to others.
I feel very secure knowing he's well looked after, happy and safe.
All of my children (bar my youngest, she will in the future!) have been through St Ives Nursery and I wouldn’t have them go anywhere else. They all been fantastic with my girls and looked after them superbly. All the staff are very friendly and will go out of their way to help or support in anyway necessary. My children love the freshly cooked meals on sight and they certainly smell delicious when passing through the nursery!
Our grandson has been coming to nursery for almost two years now. It is reassuring to know that he is in safe, caring hands when he is there with familiar faces who he has grown to know so well. We know he looks forward to coming and it’s lovely when we ask him about nursery and he tells us what activities he has done that day. Coming to nursery has helped him to develop socially and to become a very caring and gentle little boy.
