The Green Umbrella Day Nursery

We felt strongly that Green Umbrella was best childcare choice for our son 4 years ago when I first returned to work...the homely atmosphere, caring and smart staff and large garden key attributes we were looking for. Our son is ready to go to school next month and with a heavy heart he is leaving the nursery in a few weeks. From the moment he started, I have never had any cause for concern or been worried about leaving him. The staff have always been super brilliant with us as a family - making sure we felt reassured and in the know on his daily goings on! He has developed some strong rapport's with the team at the nursery and now in his pre-school room - made significant educational leaps. He has also made some really good friends as have we with their parents! He really has grown into a wonderful caring smart and sensitive boy with their extra help and guidance. Now our baby daughter attends and I had no concerns at all for her starting. She loves it and has been brought into the nursery as easily as it was for our son. It always feels like home when we drop the kids off and they never want to leave! Thank you to all the staff for making both of our children's time away from us so easy, fun, educational and memorable. I could not rate the nursery higher and hope that it continues to make the lucky children as happy as our two are.

My oldest child started at The Green Umbrella Nursery in 2009 and my youngest is about to leave August 2015. After nearly 6 years of The Green Umbrella being part of our lives it is about to end. We will be sad to say goodbye to a great team of carers, many who were there in 2009 and are still there now. Every morning when we have left our child at The Green Umbrella Nursery we know they are safe and will have a fun day ahead. It has never been a disappointment. Our child's key worker goes out their way to make sure they speak to us at the end of the day with an update as to what our child has been up to. Over the years we have received/kept all their learning diaries which show the child's progress as they have moved though the nursery stages, these are priceless and completed to a very high standard. Both children have always been happy with the home-made meals provided during the day and ate very well. Finally, the various parts of a huge garden are just another bonus to a lovely nursery. It is great they use it in all weathers........which is such fun for the children.

By far one of the best nurseries in Weston. My child has loved every second and begs to go on days that she does not attend. All the staff are well trained and very friendly, which gives me peace of mind. It is a great shame she is about to start school in September and she will be leaving, however with the help of the nursery and staff I am sure she will thrive at school.

The Green Umbrella is like family! Every child is nurtured, valued and encouraged by all members of staff. My daughter has grown leaps and bounds in confidence during her time at nursery and I have no doubt that a great part of this is due to the caring, gentle and empathetic staff.
There is a perfect balance of learning and play and the outdoor areas are amazing. When my little girl comes home grubby and smiling, I know she's had great fun! The transition from each room is seamless and at each step of the way, every child's needs are accounted and catered for. My daughter is now ready and raring to start school.
