Brilliant nursery, have looked after my children for 8 years. Friendly staff and feel my child is safe and happy when at the nursery.
My little boy has been going to St Ives nursery for just over a year now and he loves it.
There is a real family 'feel' about the nursery and he has always received brilliant care and attention. The relationship between the staff and children is absolutely genuine and he has developed so much since he started.
The thing I love most about the nursery though is how involved you feel as a parent. At the end of, what I'm guessing is a fairly hectic day, the staff always take the time to give you a full run-down of your child's daily activities. It is never rushed and the staff are always happy to chat and offer advice and support where needed.
The parent's evenings are brilliant too for understanding how your child is progressing against their development goals, what their next steps are and how you can support at home.
I would, and do, recommend the nursery to anyone who is looking for a safe and stimulating learning environment for their child.
Excellent nursery with great caring staff. Nothing is too much trouble.
My grandson has always enjoyed himself and also loves the food!
I would thoroughly recommend this nursery to friends and family in the future.
A very high standard of care and with the extracurricular activities making it outstanding for my nephew.
Our son attends the holiday clubs here and he absolutely loves the activities. Very reasonably priced too and the food is excellent.
I can only say good things about St Ives Day Nursery, they are always so kind and informative about what has been done during the day, they all go above and beyond to make my little boy have the best day and he absolutely loves going to nursery. I always recommend when friends ask about nurseries.
The St Ives Nursery is an excellent nursery. My eldest son attended a couple of years ago and now my 21-month-old attends and I wouldn't want my children to go anywhere else for their early learning. When I heard that they had been taken over, I was worried that the family feel may be missing but I didn't need to worry. All the staff are amazing and get to know your children so well, the refurbished rooms are lovely and it's a happy and safe environment for children to learn and grow.
I am very happy with the St Ives Nursery. My daughter loves all the teachers and food. She learned a lot, like how to write her name, songs and became very independent. I'm very happy that I chose this nursery.
My son has been at St Ives Nursery since he was one year old. He is still there now and due to start school in September. St Ives Nursery and all the staff have been amazing consistently over the past 3 years. Friendly, trustworthy staff and overall a great place for my child to grow!
For this reason, there’s nowhere else we will be sending our daughter!
We are very pleased we picked St Ives Nursery two years ago. Our son likes going to nursery every time. He is well looked after and cared for. Staff is very friendly, including lovely office ladies and the chef. Lovely home-like feel nursery and would recommend to anyone we know.
I always recommend to friends and family.
We have recently left the nursery but this is only due to the fact that they don't provide schooling through to the age of 18 otherwise the kids would still be there. They provide such great care but allow the children to enjoy themselves so much that my two always came home tired but happy.
The staff, through each of the age groups, have all been amazing, each developing our children to become more independent. The nursery through the new leadership team will only continue to succeed and improve as they continue to grow into their roles. It has been a wrench to leave but I look back with fond memories and am grateful for having been part of their family.
St Ives Nursery is full of staff that care and we could see this from the moment we began our tour. The staff go above and beyond to ensure that your child is challenged to progress, cared for and nurtured.
The new renovations make the nursery look like a shop showroom and the facilities are outstanding. Both myself and my husband are delighted with St Ives Nursery and look forward to seeing our daughter grow up there.
My daughter has achieved so much and all the staff are brilliant.
I am sending my second daughter here so she can benefit from them as well.
I recommend to anyone I can!
Our daughter has attended St Ives Nursery for 14 months now and has loved each day she’s been there! A great team, friendly, helpful and most importantly, helping our daughter learn and develop in so many ways.
My grandchildren love St Ives Nursery and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The staff are warm and friendly and genuinely care for all the children and there is a lovely homely atmosphere. Best Nursery in St Ives Nursery!
St Ives Nursery is a wonderful Nursery! I love to hear about all the wonderful activities my grandchildren have been doing and they amaze me with the things they learn. The children love all the staff who work there and often talk about them like they’re part of the family. It’s clear the staff all really care. I also hear a lot about the yummy home-cooked food they’ve enjoyed! Highly recommend.
I cannot thank St Ives Nursery enough for the level of care they have given my daughter and us as a family. I often get asked in my role, 'where would you recommend sending our baby', and I always answer St Ives Nursery.
