Mornington House Day Nursery

My 4 daughter has just left Mornington House to start school. She has attended the nursery since she was one. I have been extremely pleased with the care she has received throughout her time there. The nursery is so homely and welcoming and she has formed lovely bonds with the staff in all rooms. They have all shown her such care and attention, and captured her imagination throughout with carefully thought out age-appropriate activities. My daughter has always been excited to go, clearly enjoyed her time there and she has frequently told us how nice the food is! I would highly recommend Mornington House.

Our son has attended Mornington house since early 2023, he will be soon leaving to attend school. Throughout the baby room, two's room and more recently the pre school room we have been very pleased with the level of care provided. All staff are friendly and take a genuine interest our sons wellbeing and progression. Particular thank you to pre school room leader Sally who has paid great attention to recognising our sons strengths and areas for development, she puts in the appropriate measures accordingly to try help him reach his full potential. She leads the room with gentle authority but remains a safe space for children. We very much hope to receive the same care over the years for our daughter who has recently started attending the nursery too. The choice of daily freshly cooked food is also a great addition.

Cannot recommend this home from home nursery enough. My youngest has just finished pre school, having been there since a baby. For me the biggest tell of a good nursery is whether the staff are happy and enjoy their jobs and this is so apparent at Mornington. So many of the staff have been there for 10 years +! I have to give a special shout out to Diane who works tirelessly and Sally who heads up the pre school room and is one of the most dedicated nursery workers I've come across. Thank you Mornington for giving both my girls the best 3-4 years, we are so grateful and lucky to have found you!

Our daughter started at Mornington House earlier this year, aged 12 months old. We have had such a positive experience of the nursery - it is a small team who are consistently so caring, kind and supportive. The settling in process was brilliant; it was very much tailored to what was right for our daughter, encouraging her to build familiarity and trust with the team. As parents, we also feel immense trust, gratitude and respect for the team. It is such a joy and relief to know our daughter is happy and being so well cared for at nursery. I could not rate the nursery more highly.

Our son has been here since he was 10 months old and we have counted our lucky stars we found Mornington Nursery. They are so caring, welcoming and warm and I can't fault anything in the 2 years our son has been there. The staff retention is incredible which just goes to show and management and the whole team are just so welcoming and kind they make you feel like family! Our son has his ups and downs, especially with drop-offs, and the whole team give us such reassurance he is ok and after a few minutes is happily playing, he is never a burden and by the time it is picked up, he doesn't want to leave! He has made great friends and we are looking forward to pre-school. Thank you Mornington!

Staff always seem attentive and kind to the children, my son loves going there and is always happy being dropped off in the morning. The staff tell me what activities they've been up to during the day and my son gleefully tells me what he's been up to.

All the staff are lovely and the 'Head' is very welcoming. It's a hidden gem. I wish they could both stay on past their pre-school years.

The important work of caregiving done by the lovely caregivers at this tucked-away nursery has added joy, kinship and safety to my two toddlers' day. We trust everyone at Mornington and feel welcome, involved and grateful for the work they do and the space they've created.

Mornington House is like an extension of our family. My little one has been here since the age of 1 and is now in the last year of pre-school and we could not ask for a more caring, kind and considerate nursery setting for her. We have seen her really grow and flourish over the years and I can't think of a better start for a young life. One of the best things is that the team all genuinely care. And, There is consistency, I hear lots of stories of other nurseries closing and a high turnover of staff, we have never experienced that here in 4 years. They put thought into activities, are flexible, and adaptable and always do their best for every child in their care. I will always be grateful for the love and support of management and all of the team, all wonderful people, and all that they have shared, including me personally when we have had some difficult times over the years. I cannot recommend Mornington House enough. Thank you.

A really friendly caring nursery. Excellent staff. Well organised. Good food. Regular feedback to parents. Children all very happy. Nice outside space despite the city location. Nice culture/values. Would highly recommend.

My two sons have attended Mornington House from baby room to pre-school with one still currently in preschool. We can't rate the nursery highly enough. All the staff are amazing. They are friendly, attentive and caring. The lovely Manager and her team in preschool provide exciting, engaging and fun activities ensuring the children are learning through play and are fully prepared for starting school. The fabulous Louise provides nutritious and varied meals. The brilliant manager ensures everything runs smoothly and parents are kept informed about everything that is going on. The communication between nursery and home is excellent. We love the small, flexible and homely nature of the nursery as it ensures that all staff really get to know your child and the parents too. I leave in the morning confident that my child is safe, happy and is having fun.

I am so glad that we found this nursery for our son. When I asked him yesterday how his day had been, he answered, "Amazing." The staff at Mornington genuinely care about the children's well-being, their education, and their happiness. It's clear that they are dedicated to creating a nurturing and positive environment. We couldn't be happier with our choice!

It's an excellent team at Mornington House, we visited many nurseries to begin with, during the pandemic years, and selected Mornington because the staff gave us a strong sense of confidence that our child would be safe, healthy and happy there. Our daughter has now been there since she was 6 months old, all the way to preschool, and we look back and think that we're so glad we chose Mornington. Our daughter is so happy there that she frequently asks, on her own accord, to go to preschool. Every time we drop her off we have total confidence she will be safe. We have come to know she'll be learning about new topics, growing her imagination, mastering new skills, learning how to control and understand her emotions, or just having fun and playing games. The staff at Mornington should be proud of themselves for all the hard work they put into the nursery. Our daughter really appreciates it, as do we!

Incredible staff. A small nursery with a family vibe. Incredibly kind staff who really care for the children. I have a child in both the baby room and preschool. They love attending and their confidence has come leaps and bounds in the past few months!

Can't thank or recommend Mornington enough.

It's a lovely nursery and we are very grateful for their support in caring for our son.

Mornington look after my 1 year old daughter and previously looked after my son who was in pre-school. I honestly can't fault the nursery, the care they have given both of our children has been exceptional. They are lovely to deal with, genuinely care for the children and are very fair when it comes to drop off/pick up. It's a family environment, not a corporate operation.

Couldn't ask for a better nursery.

They do a wide variety of activities with the children, which we get informed of either at drop off or pick up, and spend lots of time out in the garden. My daughter has come on in leaps and bounds since starting and her confidence only continues to increase.

The manager sent emails to ask parents to give reviews here, but I realised they are able to see your names. Overall, we'd rather pay for another nursery for a better service.
