My child is 4.5 years old and has attended this nursery since 13 months old. They have had the absolute best experience at this nursery and as a parent I am incredibly grateful to every single staff member who works at Gaywood First Steps. The lengths that the staff go to, to ensure the child's learning and play/social experience is exceptional. My child has known their alphabet and phonics for nearly 2 years and is supported every day at nursery with continued learning. The staff connect so well with the children and I genuinely believe they are so well cared for whilst us parents head to work.
The room set ups are brilliant and I think my child is set up well ready for school in September. The outside space is just fantastic. What lucky children!
I cannot thank all the staff enough for everything they do every day for my child. This truly is the best nursery.
Thankyou for your lovely comments , it means a lot to us to hear this . thankyou for trusting us with your little one
The staff are great and all very friendly and helpful.
I would be happy to recommend this nursery.
Thankyou for your kind words , we are glad your daughter is enjoying her time with us , we are very lucky to have such a big garden for the children to explore
My son has flourished at this nursery. The staff are amazing and work tirelessly to provide the perfect care to your children. I feel they love him just as we do and I have absolute confidence in them to look after my son, and any future children I send there. The facilities are great inside, and they do everything they can for the children to make it fun and inspiring.
Thank you for your lovely comments, glad he enjoyed his time with us at Gaywood.
My daughter started Gaywood First Steps at 9 months old, I was really nervous about leaving her so young but once she had started my mind was very quickly at ease her routine was followed and she was very happy to be there. She thrived in each room and loved the staff members taking care of her and I couldn't thank them enough for helping her to be so ready to start her school journey.
Thank you for your lovely review of the nursery, we are glad she enjoyed her time at nursery.
Thank you so much for all the hard work and dedication you give to the children, it definitely pays off and doesn't go unnoticed!
Really happy with this nursery, the staff are very kind and really support the children individually with personalised support. There is a lovely and very large outdoor space and a good mix of child-led and adult-led activities such as baking etc. In three years, there was never a single time when my daughter wasn't excited to go to nursery here.
Love the arts and crafts they send home with littles always lovely seeing them.
Both my children attended Gaywood First Steps, and both times we found the staff and facility's amazing! The staff we always smiling and always wanted the best for the kids. I can't thank them enough for the lovely entry into the world of school they have given both my children!
Gaywood First Steps Nursery is a fantastic setting. A lot of safety measures are in place to minimise number of accidents. The team welcome you and your child every single day with a smile. Everyone has been very supportive and understanding. They go above and beyond to make children feel comfortable. They offer wide range of educational activities, both indoor and outdoors. The place is clean and tidy, despite having messy play and painting throughout the day. Far superior to other settings I have been to.
I have had two children attend this nursery and I absolutely love it there as well as my children! My children have always been well looked after, there is great communication between parents and staff there are so many new learning opportunities for all. My youngest has been attending here for several months and has come on leaps and has formed so many amazing relationships with all staff and other children.
Thank you for your lovely comment, we are happy that your son loves being at nursery.
My daughter attended for two years. The staff were absolutely brilliant with her, nothing was ever too much for them. After a difficult time with covid lockdowns etc, they helped our daughter tremendously with her confidence and social skills. The staff were very supportive of our daughter and of us as parents. We will treasure the memories from her time at nursery.
Thankyou for the lovely review, so happy that your daughter enjoyed her time with us.
My son has had a wonderful year in Stepping Stones. The staff are always friendly and happy to talk. They build a good relationship with the children and always come across as caring and playful. I highly recommend the nursery. They will meet your child’s needs and always be approachable.
Thankyou for your lovely comments , we are glad your son enjoyed his time with us.
I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Thank you for your lovely comments, we have enjoyed looking after all your grandchildren.
My child is absolutely loving his time here! Watching him thrive and come home with positive stories has reassured me that I made the best choice for a nursery setting. The staff have been really supportive and informative, they are kind and always make sure I know what kind of day my child has had at nursery. I would recommend them 100% and have done so many times to people seeking nursery recommendations.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments about our nursery.
I love this nursery! My daughter went here and she loved it. They were supportive and knew all the kids individually. My son started here in 2022 and he loves it. They fill you in on your child’s day, answer any queries you have and always send the kids home with lovely things they make for Mother’s Day etc. I can’t rate this nursery highly enough.
Thank you so much for your review. It's wonderful to hear how you have brought your son to us after your daughter loved it.
Three of our kids are attending Gaywood First Steps. We love this nursery. Our children are always happy to go and are well looked after there. The staff are always friendly and really take the time to understand each child and attend to their specific needs. They understand each of our children’s personalities and likes and dislikes. The communication is excellent and we always know what’s going on. We have one child with specific medical needs and the staff are wonderful at administering his medication and being extra vigilant with his health and well-being. Our kids have made impressive developmental progress since starting nursery here. We would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a caring and friendly environment for their children.
Thank you so much for your review of Gaywood First Steps. We are so happy you are pleased with the care we give your children’s health and well-being.
Hands down the best nursery I've ever had the pleasure to send my kids to. Recommend them 100%.
Thank you so much for your review. It’s so lovely to hear such wonderful comments.
My child started at Gaywood First Steps in February 2022 and has settled in wonderfully. The staff seem to genuinely enjoy their work and always give a warm welcome. The outside facilities are especially good and were one of the main reasons we picked this nursery. They do a good range of activities and communicate these well verbally and via an email update. I have no concerns about my child's happiness, safety or well-being at nursery, but also know that I would be listened to if I did. An all-round lovely place!
Thank you so much for your lovely review of the nursery.
My son always seems to be doing lots of different activities and is always happy when he comes out of his sessions.
The staff will always reply to emails and are always happy to listen in the mornings.
Thank you so much for your review, it really is appreciated. We are always happy to listen and work with parents throughout settling and whilst the child is in our care.
Absolutely amazing nursery, with excellent, warm, friendly and highly experienced/trained staff. My child loves their time at nursery and it is down to the amazing job all the staff do. Knowing my child is in such good hands made returning to work much less stressful.
Thank you so much for your lovely review Emma. It’s a pleasure to have your child with us.
