St Ives Nursery

I am so thrilled to be able to have the opportunity to give St Ives Nursery this feedback.

I have 3 children, now 14, 7 and 4, who have all attended the nursery aged from the ages of 9 months to 4 years old. When I first was looking for nurseries, the minute I walked into St Ives Nursery I knew it was the right choice. The nursery nurses and management staff are exceptional and have provided a happy, safe, loving and stimulating environment for all my children.

The nursery never rests on its laurels and has made continuous improvements throughout my children's time there, creating colourful and safe outdoor space and rooms with gorgeous displays of the children's arts and crafts work.

Most recently, my youngest daughter has been visiting a care home for older people in the town with her nursery class, where they sing and chat with the residents there - what a wonderful experience for all involved.

Thank you, St Ives Nursery for all your years of outstanding nurture and love.

This is our second child to attend the nursery. His elder brother thrived in the nursery environment and he is now doing the same. The recent improvements and refurbishment are amazing and it is great to see the continued investment in the children's future. The staff are friendly and professional and provide an excellent level of care. It's a great nursery.

Overall we have been very impressed with St Ives Nursery from the day my son started at 9 months old. He is now 18 months old and has gained so much through his nursery experience. The staff are incredible as are the facilities and meals. He’s always been happy at nursery and I’ve never once regretted sending him. He is encouraged to try new activities and has a genuine relationship with the nursery workers and lights up when he sees them! I couldn’t reccomend St Ives Nursery enough!

From the very first visit to St Ives Nursery, it has always been a friendly, homely and welcoming place. The staff are always professional and helpful. Both of my children have always enjoyed going to nursery.

I would not hesitate in recommending this nursery to other parents, it's fabulous.

My daughter has been at this nursery since she was 10 months old and left in September to start school. Each and every member of staff that has dealt with my 'most prized possession' has done so with such professionalism and made me feel completely at ease when I returned to work after my maternity leave (we all know how difficult it is to choose who will care for your baby whilst you earn the pennies). The staff have been with her through every step of her journey from weaning to walking to getting ready to start big school! I couldn't recommend this nursery enough!

I handed over my 4-month-old baby boy and all the girls helped nurture him into the gorgeous, bright, polite and inquisitive 4-year old I have today. I can’t thank St Ives nursery enough for making his time there as safe and comfortable as it could be, I looked for a home away from home and that’s what I found but with the amazing learning and development activities put together for the kids delivered with love and patience.

Have used St. Ives Nursery for both of my children, based on my and my children's experience I wouldn't consider using any other nursery. They have grown/are growing into confident, happy, confident and extremely intelligent little people. I have recommended several people to you already and they are all too really happy with their own experience.

My daughter spent 3 very happy years at St Ives nursery when we first moved to the area and now my son spends 4 very happy days here a week. The nursery is absolutely fantastic and my son especially sees the staff as an extension of his family. I've seen first hand the investment, time and resources that the staff have put into the nursery and the children thrive. The staff turnover is low, the same staff that looked after my daughter are now looking after my son. It is just the loveliest place for little ones, and it makes the guilt of being a working mum that much easier knowing your child is safe, happy and making lovely friends. Can't praise it highly enough!

If anything has ever been bothering me or my son the staff have always offered advice and reassurance to us which is really helpful. I would highly recommend St Ives Nursery and some of my friend's children have also chosen this nursery and are very happy.

So satisfying to know that my child in is safe hands and see how excited he is going to the nursery every day.

I have always found St Ives Nursery to be a friendly and delightful place for my children to attend. My son was there for 4 years and my daughter has been there a year so far. Everyone is helpful and my daughter loves attending. She is learning such a lot of has a great deal of fun.

Our 14-month old son will shortly be leaving St Ives Nursery and we're so sad about it. The nursery is well-equipped, warm and bustling. Everything runs smoothly; the ladies in the office are brilliant and they really care about security and keeping parents informed. The nursery nurses in Ducklings are all wonderfully caring and keep the babies entertained. Our son also very much appreciates the homemade food! Highly recommended.

I would most definitely recommend this nursery to all parents in the area!

A fantastic nursery that go above and beyond to accommodate both the parent and child. I'm always sharing our story!

Proud to send my daughter here.

All the staff are amazing, always have a smile and always welcoming. My little girl has been there almost a year and she's always happy to go. I wasn't sure about putting my little one in the nursery at the age of two but she's incredibly confident now in what she does.

If it is naming colours or singing 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star', I always get feedback on what she's been up to, so I never miss a thing.

She is also given a healthy snack so I know she has not gone hungry. I would definitely recommend this nursery to all those parents who want to be confident that their kids are in good hands thank you so much to everyone for there brilliant work.

My daughter attended St Ives Nursery from the age of 9 months to school Age and my son from 12 months.

The Nursery is fantastic, I couldn’t recommend it more highly. Both my children have special dietary needs and nothing has been too much trouble for the nursery staff when it comes to their needs, including my daughter when she had a long-term illness and needed medication daily. It was stressful for me when she was ill but they were so supportive to me as well, as a parent.

Nursery staff have always given advice when requested and give fantastic feedback not only on the day’s achievements and fun but longer-term learning.

Communication with the Nursery is brilliant. The staff always come back to me really quickly and are always willing to help whenever they can.

It’s so hard to go back to work, leaving your baby in someone else’s care for the first time but soon the friendly faces at the nursery became familiar to us and I am so grateful for the support they’ve given.

All three of mine have gone or going to this amazing nursery. They have each grown and learnt so much here could not recommend enough.

I absolutely adore St Ives Nursery. The staff are amazing. The facilities are well laid out and looked after. The activities are fun and engaging. The menu is well rounded and healthy. I recommend this child care provider to everyone. They love my daughter and she loves them. It feels like I’m leaving her with family.

Our three children are very happy at St Ives Nursery and really enjoy the time they spend there. The staff are all fantastic - they really care about the children and are so helpful and supportive. We couldn’t ask for more in a nursery!
