Court House Day Nursery

My son joined Court House nursery in early 2023 at 11 months old. The staff were warm and welcoming and helped ease a difficult period of separation between baby and family. Our son is now due to graduate and go to school. I cannot praise the nursery enough for building and maintaining a nurturing, caring and positive environment. My son has loved going to nursery and they put a lot of effort into planning activities and trips and he is always coming home with something he has proudly made. He is also a very confident little boy and the nursery staff have encouraged him to shine. It is also clear to me the staff thoroughly enjoy their roles and some have been there for a long time which is very positive. I wouldn't hesitate to (and have) recommend this fantastic nursery to friends.

My daughter started at the Court House in June 2025. The staff were amazing and professional from the word go and I immediately knew this was the place for her. Since then, her development has gone from strength to strength, the team are so kind and lovely with the children and I can see her social, emotional and cognitive skills coming on leaps and bounds.

We've even successfully potty trained her now thanks to the support of the staff there who have all received high quality training on how to approach this somewhat tricky area. She's only 2 and a bit! I never imagined this would happen so soon for us, but with the encouragement of the staff and watching the other children, it was so much smoother than it would have otherwise been.

I am also impressed with other, seemingly small, changes in her, such as her willingness to try new foods and even her fine motor skills with eating her own meals without needing help from us. The food at this nursery is also so good!

Our little one has recently started at the Court House and it's been nothing but a wonderful .experience for us all. Firstly, we were so impressed with the settling in process - the baby room team were incredibly welcoming, reassuring and put us all at ease. We had lots of settling in sessions in the month leading up to his start date, each gradually building in duration, so that when our little one started on his first day we were all super comfortable and happy to see him go in.

From hearing the experiences of other little ones starting nursery elsewhere, I truly feel like the Court House is head and shoulders above other providers. They have gone above and beyond in making that big first step, for us all as a family, as easy and enjoyable as possible. Our son absolutely loves nursery and has settled brilliantly - a testament to the incredible baby room team. Thank you so much, it means the world to us to see him so happy and thriving at nursery!

I couldn't recommend them enough!

My son moved from a previous setting to Court House and the staff were extremely accommodating to us, especially considering the timeframe we were working with. My son has settled in very quickly and is extremely happy to go off to nursery every time, I believe this is a massive reflection on all of the staff who have obviously made him feel very welcome and at home when he is there. The staff are all very friendly, approachable and welcoming! It feels like a little family.

We've been so impressed and pleased with the quality of care that our son receives at Court House Day Nursery. The staff all seem to love what they do, and where they work, and that is clear in the excellent retention and the close bonds between kids, peers, and carers. The culture of Court House is lovely and that comes through in the quality of care. It's all particularly impressive given the challenges of the sector/policies. Our little one has been there since 9 months and absolutely flourished, often teaching us all sorts of new games and songs, and surprising us with his developments and good habits! His dietary requirements have been carefully managed, and we receive regular updates of their activities and adventures in the app. We feel really lucky to have such a great nursery to rely on, and where our child can thrive.

Going forward we would like to see continued trips and visiting workshops for the children (eg PE coach, forest school sessions).

We have been delighted with the level of care our daughter has received at The Courthouse. She has been there for almost a year and she has flourished and really grown in confidence. She loves the staff and talks about them often at home, along with making lots of friends. Staff always seem to be on top of things like dietary requirements, belongings don't get lost, and there's always a good handover at the start and end of day - it shows attention is paid to the little details. It has also been great to see effort going into making the outdoor spaces a bit more green and adventurous recently as this is the only downside to the nursery but it's to be expected in a city. We love the trips they take out to surrounding green spaces and would love to see more of these! Overall we have peace of mind as parents knowing she is thriving, happy and well cared for, and we would recommend to anyone.

Friendly, attentive staff who really seem to love what they do. They're always more than happy to answer any questions and do such fun activities with the babies every day. Our little girl took some time to settle but they were great at keeping us updated and trying different things to help her. She now loves it! We're very happy with the nursery and glad we chose it.

My husband and I are very happy with the level of care and activities at the Court House Day Nursery. My daughter absolutely loves going there and has made close friends. The staff are doing a truly amazing job and the cook makes good food (I got to try some during an open doors). My daughter consistently eats up all her lunch too.

Overall, we are very happy with Court House Day Nursery for our children. Due to high staff turnover recently, we feel there has been a noticeable gap in child-specific updates and staff are clearly overworked, however, all the staff are wonderfully caring and our children are very happy at Court House. We feel there are some development areas in communication from the nursery and consistent communication across all the rooms would be beneficial, hopefully, this will improve with successful recruitment.

We are very pleased with the care our daughter has received at the Court House Day Nursery. She has thrived here, and it's clear to see she really enjoys her time at nursery and asks to go on her non-nursery days! We are leaving the nursery due to a house move and will be very sad to say goodbye. Thank you for all you have done; we would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.

I can highly recommend the Court House Day Nursery. My son has been at the Court House for almost a year so far and he has had a truly great time. The staff are loving and caring and highly knowledgeable of current concepts of child development and early years. Our son has made real connections to staff and children and he always tells us about all the fun things he did in nursery. Parents and staff work closely together and there will always ben someone listening to your wishes or concerns.

I love the Court House Day Nursery. It has friendly and efficient staff. My daughters have loved every day they are in. And their phonics are amazing. There reading and drawing at a great level. Thanks, Court House they have made wonderful friends and memories.

I love this nursery. All of the staff seem to really know my little boy and I love hearing about what he has done and enjoyed throughout the day. The phots and nots on ParentView are fabulous, especially how they pop up through the day. My little one is flourishing and has really come out of his shell.

My daughter loves coming to nursery, the staff take time and care to ensure she is happy and settled if she's not feeling herself. The handovers at the end of the day are great, the staff know what she's had to eat, how long she's slept and what she's done. The settling in periods are great to smooth the change between rooms.

Excellent staff, who have been great with our daughter and have prepared her well for school. This is a lovely nursery and we could not have wished for anymore.

Great staff, management and activities. My son has been here since he was 9 months old and is now in pre-school and it’s always been good.

Wonderful nursery that feels like a family - excellent staff who really care about the children. The food is cooked on-site and lots of variety. There are always activities, fun things arranged to celebrate events throughout the year. I feel my children are in completely safe hands and would thoroughly recommend! Thank you.

My daughter came from a childminder to start preschool room at three and the Court House were very welcoming and caring towards her and myself. Whenever there were any issues, I was always listened to and Court House sorted it. Day to day comms not great (app never seems to work) but at four years old this is not a big issue. Staff turnover seems high and the key person has changed four times in a year. Rates are reasonable and teachers/assistants very caring and seem to have a good relationship with the kids.
