Review from J F (Mother of Child) published on 13 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with our son's nursery experience so far. He joined last month, and from the very beginning the team has been incredibly welcoming, supportive, and genuinely caring.Our son has struggled with fussy eating, which was something we were quite worried about. However, the nursery staff have been absolutely fantastic in supporting him through this. They have provided us with helpful information, guidance, and reassurance, and have worked closely with us to ensure consistency between home and nursery. Thanks to their patience and encouragement, he has already made noticeable progress and is now much more willing to try different foods. We are so proud of how far he's come in such a short time.

The staff are always informative and keep us updated, which gives us real peace of mind. It's clear that they truly want the absolute best for every child in their care. We feel confident knowing our son is in such a nurturing and supportive environment. Highly recommend.

Overall Experience

My child hasn't been with this nursery for long but while he has been they have been nothing but welcoming and supportive. Unfortunately my child is going through a lot at the moment regarding family illnesses as well as his own illnesses and the nursery have been amazing with making his life as normal as possible and I couldn't thank them enough. The staff are helpful supportive kind caring in many ways. Would highly recommend this nursery to all the families out there.

Overall Experience
I am so grateful for the incredible care my child receives at Spring nursery. From the very first day, the staff have been warm, welcoming, and truly invested in the well-being of every child. They create a nurturing environment where the children feel safe, loved, and encouraged to explore and learn every day.

My son absolutely loves attending-he looks forward to going in the morning and always comes home excited to tell me about what he learned, who he played with, and the fun activities they did. The staff take the time to get to know each child individually, and it really shows in the way they support their growth and confidence.

Review from L E (Mother of Child) published on 25 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son transitioned into Inventors back in September and has settled in so well. The transition was seamless and the staff have been outstanding at welcoming him in. I never have any concerns when I send him and always feel relaxed that he is in great care. Staff have gone above and beyond to help my son with toilet training too.
The kitchen staff have been excellent catering to my son's differing dietary needs. Nothing as ever been an issues.

There has always been open and clear communication from management even with changes in staff. Everyone is extremely approachable and multiple members of staff have been very supportive to me personally.

I am extremely happy overall with the nursery.

I couldn't any be happier with our experience at Springs nursery. All the staff in the Explorers Room are absolutely amazing - they're so caring, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic about what they do.
Thanks to the whole team, my daughter has settled in so well and absolutely loves coming to nursery each day.

It's such a comfort knowing she's happy, thriving, and surrounded by people who make her feel safe and encouraged to explore and learn. We're so grateful for everything the Explorers Room team does - thank you all

Review from G C (Mother of Child) published on 14 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

An excellent setting. My little boy attends the baby room and really struggled with the transition to nursery. The staff were incredible helping him settle. They were so kind and patient. He gets lots of 1-1 time. They make a real effort to understand his interests and implement it into the scheme of work. The communication is excellent throughout the day and the end of day handovers are really informative. I could not be happier with our experience.

Review from Imogen T (Mother of Child) published on 13 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Resources in each room have been updated to reflect the interests of children in which they help to promote communication, imagination and turn taking skills. The resources are now much more appropriate for the age and stage of development.

2 year olds and above have open access to the outdoor area, meaning children can develop independence, get fresh air and navigate the spaces much more freely. I feel the use of basic signing, along to routine songs is an inclusive and fun way to promote language development.

Staff are good at updating verbally about your child's day. At times it would be nicer to have more observations added onto the app which shows the progress your child is making, especially as they transition into other rooms. However the app is well used to update families about things happening within the nursery.

Overall Experience

Our Daughter started at Spring, Thorpe Hamlet in September of this year. To start with, she was upset with going, Mum and myself were then a bit apprehensive about her going. The staff reassured us that this is completely normal and now just a couple of months in she loves her days at nursery. The staff are always warm and welcoming with her and do everything to make her settle. They adjusted some meals for her and went out of their way to help her with nap times. We appreciate everything they do for our daughter. 5

Overall we are really happy with our experience with the nursery. My doughter is always happy to go in and excited about new things she is going to do on the day.
Would be great if there could be little bit more of day out activities but I understand that this is not easy to arrange.

Thank you to all the staff for all their hard work.

Spring nursery Thorpe Hamlet are a warm and friendly nursery. There are lots of activities for the children to play with and quite a large outside area. My daughter waves me goodbye when I drop her off and often doesn't want to leave as she's having lots of fun. Thanks to all the staff at Spring.

My daughter has settled into nursery so well. She got a new key person around a month after starting and she has developed so well in the 6 months since being there. All of the nursery practitioners really are angels, and we don't know where we would be without them all!

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Spring Nursery Thorpe Hamlet for over a year now. She has come on leaps and bounds in time and all the staff are lovely caring and kind. I'm very much looking forward to watching her develop more and will be sad when she has to leave for school next year. My oldest daughter also attended the setting a few years back and she also loved it so much. Some truly lovely people work here and deserve to be recognised for that!

Review from Abbie M (Mother of Child) published on 23 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have recently transferred our daughter from this nursery to another one due to moving house, but highly recommend you take your child to Spring Nursery Thorpe area as she had a wonderful time there. The staff have always been very friendly and I really loved how much the children get up to during the day. Our daughter loved the nursery pets, and playing outside in the garden. The app the nursery uses to update parents on the children's photos, food, nappy changes and updates is brilliant. It was sad to leave but she had many happy memories there and has learnt so much I'm sure from being around the staff and other children. Highly recommend!

My son really enjoyed attending Spring Nursery. The staff there are energetic and enthusiastic and provide many different experiences for the kids, especially relating to the seasons and different celebrations and things happening in the world. They create a really fun, creative learning environment and the staff are very nurturing and supportive, really personalising the care they give. It felt the staff were really invested in the child's growth and learning. Very impressed, highly recommend.

My daughter has developed so much since starting nursery in April, her key person has helped us with identifying areas that need work and giving us ideas on activities to do at home. I’m so happy I made the decision to send my daughter here.

My daughter absolutely loves Spring Nursery. All the staff are super friendly. The children are always doing fun activities and my daughter enjoys how much time she gets to spend outside. The app is great to be able to see what she has been up to and we love receiving the pictures of her enjoying her day.

I would highly recommend Spring Nursery!
