Archfield House Nursery

my child is listened to.

is amazing as well as the efforts to succeed and support child and parents. Food is healthy and nice.

how his day was, and we get lovely updates and useful good email communications every week. We are grateful for the flexibility of breakfast club. The management planning and communication at this particularly stressful and difficult time during a pandemic has been outstanding and way over and above what I would have expected of any nursery.

forest and beach school. We are really pleased to have found this nursery and excited for our daughter to start when she turns one.

to be themselves. There is always a huge range of activities to choose from and that the children are never bored. Our daughter loves playing in the outside space with her imagination running wild but also loves to visit the quiet corner where she can sit and look at a book. The support and encouragement from the staff is amazing and they really do nurture each child to grow into a confident individual! Meals are made on the premises and are varied and highly nutritious - the kids love them! I cannot speak highly enough of them - a wonderful place!

know another child in his class). Excellent management and leadership. Both my children have attended since 1 year old and have thrived here.

Forest School and Beach School to hunger bugs, stretch and grow, family days but for me, the winner has to be sibling time. My children love being together and this brought them the perfect balance of learning to be independent but also being able to spend special time together.
My youngest will be joining the pre-school class in the summer and is really excited. The facilities within Wise Owls offer so many opportunities for the children.
When my eldest started school, his reception teacher told me that she can spot an Archfield child in her class - they come ready for school; they are kind and full of enthusiasm.
It has been a wonderful start for my children. Well done, Archfield!

activities they do there and never feel worried when leaving my child for the whole day.

outdoor space, a chef in-house and a great pre-school provision with a qualified early years teacher.
Just visit, the joy and confidence of the children is obvious and shines through. It is outstanding for a reason!

pioneered beach school and have been taking the children on the train (which is an adventure in itself for them!) to the beach to explore.

who have specific nap times for example - something that would never work for my son! They are also great with specific dietary requirements. I feel like he's really well cared for and thriving at this nursery - he is always enjoying a hug with someone when I pick him up after work!

potential through play. I am constantly amazed by the range of activities that are provided; from Beach School (quite possibly the best nursery activity I have come across), Stretch and Grow, and Hunger Bugs, to the day to day play activities, such as the varied arts and craft activities and role play room. In the last few months alone, we have been to the Moon, hunting for dinosaurs and sailing the ocean on a pirate ship!
My son has often struggled with the daily transition of home to nursery, but with the care and attention shown by all the staff, he feels safe and secure and I feel confident that he is in a loving, kind and nurturing environment all day.

outdoor space is absolutely brilliant and the children enjoy lots of activities - music bugs, mud kitchens, art and crafts, beach school....just to name just a few!
The have a dedicated chef, who all the kids love. They've also won Soil Association awards for the catering.
Huge praise for the staff!
Also the office staff, nothing is ever too much trouble.
Would highly recommend!!!

if necessary. The facilities are wonderful, with an amazing outside space which they use daily and she is a real fan of the food cooked by the onsite chef. They put on lots of extra activities throughout the year for all of us to take part in.
