Review from Samantha L (Mother of Child) published on 2 March 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Cuddles Day Nursery at Canford Heath is amazing! The support we have received with our twins care is outstanding. The whole team in the wide eyes room are incredible and I can't thank them enough for everything they have done for us as parents to twins with delayed speech and language and possible autism.

Our girls absolutely love attending nursery and get so excited to see everyone and I know they're in safe hands every week. Thanks so much Cuddles, I can't recommend you enough!

Overall Experience
My daughter started at Cuddles Day Nursery in Natterjacks six months ago having just turned 1 and everyone there has been amazing at making her feel settled. I feel she's really bonded with her key worker and the other staff in her room. They're so friendly and always give a good debrief at the end of each session. They do lots of fun activities which we get photos of and so much effort goes into things like decorating for Christmas and making Valentine's day cards etc. to make it special for the children.

Communication from the nursery is always very good, I'd really recommend the nursery to friends.

Overall Experience
Outstanding nursery! My son has been at Cuddles Day Nursery since he was a baby, he is now in the preschool room. He has settled well with all the staff in each room and very much enjoys his sessions.
The staff are all very welcoming, respectful and committed to the children.
He learns new things each week and their use of outdoor space is the best, the children have so much room to explore the different gardens and even go on outings.

My baby daughter is joining next month and I have no hesitation leaving her in their care. Even if there are tears the first few weeks at drop off, I know it won't take long before she has an attachment to her key worker and shortly after she will be excited to be going into the room.

My daughter has been at Cuddles Day Nursery since she was 9-months now nearly 3, they have been amazing from then to now even though Covid was hard. She is currently in wide eyes only one day a week and she absolutely loves going, always happy to attend, goes in with a smile on her face and has the best day. The staff are always so welcoming and make sure all children have been well looked after.

Overall Experience

The nursery is amazing. I have two children that attend aged 1 and 2. They have helped my 2-year-old develop her social and speaking skills. My 1-year-old has medical needs and the nursery was willing to be trained to fulfil his needs. All the staff are welcoming and friendly. I would higher recommend this nursery. Nothing is ever an issue or problem for them.

Overall Experience
My son started last summer when he was 2 and he loves coming to Cuddles Day Nursery. He runs in every morning to see the staff and his friends. Then helps himself to breakfast at the table.
The many different outside play areas are great.
You can call your child's room to check on anything at any time which is especially great when they are new to nursery.
I think childcare is expensive wherever you choose but it’s worth paying for to attend here.

My older child also attends holiday club here occasionally and enjoys the different activities too.

Overall Experience

We have been with Cuddles Day Nursery since my eldest started back in 2017, my youngest is still there now. We love the staff, they are friendly and genuinely care for the children. They are understanding and become such a big part of yours and your children’s lives. I cannot fault Cuddles - they are clean, they are fun, they are loving and everything you would want from a nursery. I always recommend them to friends and family and would never choose anywhere else for my kids.

Cuddles Day Nursery at Canfor Heath is outstanding, always happy to help with any situation, no matter how big or small. I have had a few children at this nursery in different rooms, I am impressed with all the staff in all the rooms and will continue to bring my little ones here - my number one nursery.

Overall Experience
Cuddles Day Nurseries are amazing! I had my first child attend from 8-months at another site where all the staff were welcoming and lovely. My first child was severely premature and has a few health concerns but the nursery manager and staff were brilliant, they listened to what we had said and worked with us to keep our child safe and healthy. My first child started in the baby room and went all the way through to preschool.
My second child started at 2-years-old at the Canford Heath site where again we were met by lovely staff and managers. We saw huge progression in my second child's communication as within weeks of starting she went from a shy child to talking to everyone and making friends! My second child is now in the preschool rooms at Canford Heath and loving it!

I'd like to say a massive thank you to all of the Cuddles teams for getting both my children through nursery and for being such positive influences in their lives!

Overall Experience
Conchitas at Cuddles Day Nursery (Canford Heath) I can't thank Conchitas enough for the last year. There was never a day that my daughter didn't want to go in. The love, care and support these ladies have given my daughter through such very uncertain times has been incredible. They have helped develop our little lady into a big girl that is more than ready for big school. Keyworker, we will be forever grateful for the time and care you have given my daughter. You have been a wonderful key worker and my daughter is going to miss you all so much.

Looking forward to starting my other daughter's journey with you all next year.

Overall Experience
We just want to publicly say thank you to the teachers. When my son started at preschool he was a shy boy (I was a blubbering wreck!) and his speech was delayed. His keyworker and the team worked really hard with him and the progress and change in him is incredible. We are absolutely gutted that his keyworker is leaving but wish her all the best in her future and we look forward to seeing the rest of the team in September. Have a great summer everyone at Cuddles Day Nursery Ltd

Ps, we couldn't recommend highly enough how amazing Cuddles is.... from the purpose-built facilities to the teachers and other staff.

Overall Experience
I really have no words to describe my experience of Cuddles Day Nursery (Canford Heath), the staff are absolutely amazing and have been with my first and second child all the way through.
First to start with is admin who have had to deal with my constant funding questions and changing things all the time. Thank you for putting up with me.

My daughter will miss her centipede room so much, it’s been such a tough year and the girls in this room have been fantastic! An extra special thank you to the key worker, you are honestly amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better key worker, you understood my little girl's quirky ways and you just “got her”. Thank you for everything you have supported me through she will miss you so much!

My son has just finished at Cuddles Day Nursery (Canford Heath) and will start school this September. I cannot recommend this setting enough, my son has absolutely thrived there and the staff are outstanding! I viewed many other settings but when seeing Cuddles I knew straight away that I wanted my son to go there. I have a 2-year old that I plan to send once he gets his funding. Everything about Cuddles is fantastic. Thank you so much to the team in Hornets class!

Overall Experience

My son joined Cuddles Day Nursery in early May 2021, his confidence, speech, general behaviour and personality have really begun to shine. I cannot believe how far he has come in a short space of time. He is now potty trained which is all thanks to the wonderful team who support him every day. Couldn’t be more happy I moved him and am confident this environment will set him up well for school in 2022.

Review from Lauren C (Mother of Child) published on 27 July 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Absolutely outstanding nursery/preschool for my daughter who was once screaming by the front door not wanting to leave her mummy. Within the first weeks, she was extremely well settled with her key workers and other teachers and had established strong relationships with all the staff in her room and with the other children. She has come so far in the last eighteen months all while going through a crazy pandemic. The staff do their utmost to treat all the children like their own and give them everything they need to make the next big milestone to school. We will be back with the next baby in a short while! If you’re nervous about leaving your child at nursery this place is 100% the place to go. Never have I felt more at ease leaving her there while we work. Gutted to say goodbye for now and can’t thank you enough!

Review from Kerry S (Mother of Child) published on 24 June 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy started Cuddles Day Nursery Canford Heath January 2021 for his fifteen hours funding. He has hypermobility and is under the children's development centre for physio. He also has developmental delays. The staff at Cuddles are amazing and have really accommodated his needs. He is slowly catching up with his delays. Having never been to nursery, I was apprehensive with Covid and his lack of interaction with children but he loves it. He really enjoys being outside, so the various different gardens are perfect. He loved the woodland walk too. He is only 3 but has really got a grasp of numbers and the alphabet - amazed by what Cuddles are teaching at a young age - definitely focused on school readiness through play. The Covid measures put in place make me feel safe and happy for my little boy. The staff cannot do enough to help and are very friendly and approachable.

Overall Experience

This nursery is fantastic! The staff are very friendly and welcoming and care a lot about the little ones. I’m kept up to date with the latest news and events and what my child has been doing that day. My child enjoys his time at nursery and never wants to come home. He absolutely loves a member of the office staff that much that we can’t leave unless we’ve played a game of peek-a-boo. He’s come on so much with his learning since I moved him from a previous nursery two years ago. Since the National pandemic, this nursery has been outstanding with keeping us all up to date with new guidelines of what to expect on our next visit. We recently had to isolate and a member of staff called to ask if we were okay, nothing is too much trouble for them. I’ll be sad to leave in September as my son goes to school but I’m delighted he will be coming back for the holiday clubs. Thank you Cuddles Day Nursery Ltd (Canford Heath) for all your hard work and continuous hard work!
