Review from Jordan L (Mother of Child) published on 5 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Staff at Cuddles were great, my daughter really came out of her shell and built so much confidence thanks to everyone. She really enjoyed going to cuddles and playing whilst learning, so much so it was often hard to get her to come home! Not only that, but my eldest also thought it looked great and asked to use their wraparound care this year rather than the school's.

Loved our child's experience at Cuddles, they really looked after him well. He has come on leaps and bounds with his personal development and thoroughly enjoyed his time with this establishment. Thank you to everyone in the Komodos and Conchitas room!

Overall Experience

Fantastic, happy and safe environment for my child. All staff became my son's friends and he was so well cared for. Great foundation to prepare them for school. Lots of different gardens for them to play in and taken for regular woodland walks and little trips out and about.

Overall Experience

Cuddles Canford Heath have been amazing for our daughter. Their outside space is incredible, varied and well maintained. The staff are consistently friendly and approachable and give their everything to the children. I would have liked to see more variety of food at breakfast, such as additional fruit or yoghurt, but otherwise it's great. My daughter was so ready for school and the transition has been so smooth, I know that was down to the hard work of the Cuddles staff. Thank you!

My daughter enjoyed spending time in Cuddles for two years, couldn’t ask for better people and setting. Thank you very much for everything, she is a confident little girl who is very happy now at school, but missing her dress up and lipstick times! Thanks again.

Review from Holly M (Mother of Child) published on 25 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I was recommended Cuddles Canford Heath by another parent, as I was looking to change nurseries due to having issues with my little one's nursery provider. I only wish I had known about Cuddles from day one! I could not fault my child’s transition process to the new setting and within a short space of time she felt very much at home. The staff were always very friendly and welcoming. My daughter always enjoyed her day at nursery and often complimented the food (usually going back for seconds!). The nursery offers a number of rooms and gardens and she thoroughly enjoyed time in the garden, whatever the weather! My daughter has now started school, but still talks about the nursery and the staff on a regular occurrence. Thank you Cuddles for the fantastic care you provided.

Review from Kimberley F (Mother of Child) published on 25 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff at Cuddles have looked after all three of my children, spanning almost nine years. I cannot fault the teams at all! The children have always enjoyed their time at Canford Heath Cuddles and have been well looked after and supported to learn and develop at their own pace. Some of the staff have become like family over the years and I cannot recommend them enough!

Review from Emily M (Mother of Child) published on 25 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been going here since Covid. The nursery she was previously at seemed like it was 'better' on paper, with more grass outside space and slightly smaller groups etc., but she was never as happy there as she has been at Cuddles. She has really thrived here, they spend lots of time outside and she has made some really good friends. She has now started in the after school club and found it a bit tricky, but has had lovely support from staff and is settling into the new routine really well. I think that it would be nice to see slightly more on the app as to what they have been up to or have it updated slightly more often, but I would rather the staff were playing with the kids than updating paperwork so not too worried.

Overall Experience

I can’t praise Cuddles highly enough. My daughter started there when she was less than a year old and has just begun after school sessions now she’s started primary school. Cuddles have been a huge part of her journey so far, they’ve helped her learn, developed her confidence and independence and supported her throughout. It genuinely felt like we were leaving her with family.

We have been using Cuddles for over six years and we are so happy with the care they have given our children. The staff are happy, caring and well trained and the nursery is very well organised and resourced. We could not fault them!

I've found Cuddles Day Nursery to be a top-rate nursery. The facilities are excellent with lots of space and activities for the children and they take a deep interest not just in their physical wellbeing but also in their development and education. I couldn't be happier.

Overall Experience

Very friendly and understanding team, my daughter is well-stimulated and is learning lots! The children in my daughter's group always seem happy. Some constructive feedback - more pictures/logs of what my daughter is doing would be nice. Parking is stressful at times, maybe some signs to stop people parking on the drive leading up to nursery.

Overall Experience
My son had his nativity with his class, we'd been sent the list of songs weeks in advance so we could help him learn them. The day of the nativity, my son was very excited. They did a fantastic job, the children were amazing.

The people who look after my son's room are fantastic. They are kind, loving and caring. They have certainly helped him to prepare for school next year.

Review from J R (Mother of Child) published on 11 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son attended pre-school 15 hours a week and he enjoyed every second of it.
The staff are incredible and so caring for your child.
He had a lot of adventures out, to the woods, soft play, the carvery and even the DIY store for flowers. They had brilliant performances at Christmas.
I would highly recommend Cuddles Day Nursery, they really do go above and beyond.
And I look forward to my other child attending in January.

Thank you Cuddles.

Review from Sophie A (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My 4-year-old little boy has been with Cuddles Day Nursery (Canford Heath) since he was 18-months-old, starting in the Wide Eyes room and now in Batwings. I have always been absolutely blown away by the care and attention from the amazing staff, including the admin and management staff, always happy to help and welcome you with a smile. My son has always been happy in both rooms he has been in and enjoyed his time, which is down to the fantastic staff!

I never hesitate to recommend the nursery and am so pleased I chose to place my little boy here, it was the absolute best decision. I will be definitely placing my second baby at the nursery when the time comes.

Since my child started at Cuddles Day Nursery in November 2021 at 10-months-old, she has enjoyed it, the team in natterjacks are so lovely, caring and ensure they have lots of fun and plenty of learning opportunities. They really understand how hard those first few months can be with the colds, teething etc. and are not only supportive of the child but they were checking I was ok too. So pleased she attends here.

Just the best nursery! My son is so happy there, he has settled so quickly and I believe this is due to how warm, friendly and caring every single member of staff is. Every time I go in, I am met with an abundance of smiles and helpful staff - I wouldn’t want my son to go anywhere else!

Overall Experience

Cuddles Day Nursery (Canford Heath) is quite literally the only nursery I trust with my children. I currently travel thirty minutes, twice every day for drop off and pick up just because I don’t want my baby to go anywhere else. They are caring, considerate, honest and genuine people who have built wonderful nurturing relationships with all three of my children. They are professional and they make the nursery a magical and wonderful learning and developing environment for the children. I am extremely grateful that my children have had the opportunity to attend Cuddles, they are very lucky.
