Sending my little girl to Cuddles Day Nursery Ltd (Canford Heath) was the best decision we have made. She started after the first lockdown during which she hadn’t socialised with any other children but she settled in beautifully thanks to the staff. The outdoor areas were a major draw and she always seems to be having so much fun when I pick her up. Thank you Cuddles Day Nursery Ltd (Canford Heath).
I have two children at Cuddles Day Nursery Ltd (Canford Heath). One in the baby room and one in the preschool rooms. Both adore going to nursery and as a Mum I know they are absolutely in the best hands. What I like the most about Cuddles Day Nursery Ltd (Canford Heath) is the amount of time the children spend outdoors, exploring their surroundings. Also, all the staff are approachable and really listen to you as a parent so there is consistency between nursery and home.
My daughter started nursery in January 2020 and was distraught at every drop off, the team in Little Hoots were fabulous at distracting and looking after her. She really settled with them and it became safe for her. Covid-19 hit in March and so my daughter was out of nursery for a few months. She returned to Little Hoots in August 2020 and was running in, she couldn't wait to see her 'teachers' and friends. She's now moved to Centipedes and is absolutely loving it. The staff are amazing. The rooms are fabulous and the gardens are incredible. I cannot fault Cuddles Day Nursery Ltd (Canford Heath) at all. They have managed the Covid-19 pandemic amazingly. My daughter has come on in leaps and bounds in every aspect and I credit Cuddles Day Nursery Ltd (Canford Heath) for supporting her development. I would rate this nursery ten out of ten and would recommend to anyone to send their children here.
The first two weeks were hard and it did take him time to settle but the team were really supportive and kept us up to date, now you wouldn’t even know he had ever not loved every minute of it.
He comes home happy and full of it every day!
We were lucky that, although it was a few years ago, our older daughter also went there so already knew he would love it and felt confident with sending him there. It helped us not being able to visit properly, however they did all they could to answer all questions and show us round the outside etc as they could Covid safe.
I am happy and confident in saying my child is safe, happy and very well cared for when he is in their care, thank you!
During the pandemic, Cuddles have been fantastic throughout. They have been in constant contact via email to let us know their plans and to keep us informed and up to date with ever changing policies and risk assessments. My daughter has been going back since July and all staff in her room have been amazing. I feel completely comfortable and safe letting my child attend and so much so that my eldest has returned for Holiday Club. I can’t recommend these guys enough.
Thank you for your lovely review, we're so happy your child has returned to Holiday Club.
Again the staff are great, always making such an effort with the children and fill me in on her day's activities when I collect her. My little girl absolutely loves it and has such a great time. The outside play areas are brilliant along with the rest of the facilities.
Also, it is great to know everything is included in the price (it saves parents having to remember things like suncream on a sunny day).
The staff have been really encouraging and supportive through potty training too which can sometimes be stressful for mums and dads!
Thank you Cuddles, keep up the good work.
If you're looking for a nursery/preschool then definitely go and check out Cuddles, couldn’t imagine him going anywhere else.
My boys absolutely love Cuddles. My eldest is now leaving to go to school and he is absolutely gutted! The staff go above and beyond for the children and their love for the job really shines through. My kids are very outdoorsy and they’re always given lots of time to play outside in the various gardens on all the different equipment. All the staff are really friendly and the management are fantastic. Cuddles is like a home from home for my children and I highly recommend them.
My daughter really enjoys her time at Cuddles, Canford Heath. I feel happy knowing I am leaving her in safe hands. All staff are so friendly, competent and approachable and my daughter loves them all. The facilities available are amazing and the activities are always educational and fun. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to friends and family.
Our son joined Cuddles last summer and we have nothing but great things to say about it! The staff are welcoming, friendly and very caring towards the children. Every drop off and pick up we are greeted with a smile and it’s always clear that he has had a great day. If you’re considering sending your child to cuddles, do it! We absolutely recommend it.
The staff are wonderful, very friendly and give great feedback. The children have lots of fun and my daughter is really blossoming there. I would thoroughly recommend them.
Fantastic nursery both of my boys have gone through all the age groups at Cuddles and have loved all of them. The staff are friendly, happy and welcoming. Every time I pick up, all the children seem to be having fun and interacting with staff.
Both our children attend Cuddles Day Nursery. One permanently and one at holiday clubs. The care and support given to both is excellent. Staff take the time to get to know and understand the needs of each child and communicate their progress in a variety of ways. Both children have developed and grown both emotionally and in their skills during their time with Cuddles Day Nursery. I highly recommend them.
My eldest attended preschool at Cuddles Day Nursery and now my youngest is in the nursery. I have witnessed both my children flourish in no time at all at Cuddles Day Nursery. Staff here are brilliant at meeting individual needs for each child and bringing out the best in them. Both my children love it here and all the staff. I couldn't rate it highly enough.
My son starts school in September and I think he will thrive thanks to the hard work all the Hornet team.
My son has been attending Cuddles at Canford Heath for 2 years and he’s so happy! I can’t fault the nursery, they do so much with the children, much more than I can do! I’ll be keeping my son there until school and I’m sure he’ll be back for school holiday club. Thank you Cuddles x
My daughter loves going to Cuddles and now skips in each time we come. I know that she is learning, playing and doing activities all day she is there.
My son loves nursery and has been attending for nearly 3 years. Cuddles has been a trustworthy source of childcare since I returned to work, and although it isn’t the cheapest nursery in the area, you can’t put a price of peace of mind! I know that my son is in a safe environment (food allergies are taken very seriously at Cuddles) where he is thriving and learning new things every day.
Cuddles is absolutely the best place for both of my girls to be. My older daughter loves going to preschool and the way that her room leader leads the room, with his innovating ideas and fantastic enthusiasm for the children is simply the best. The way her key worker works so skillfully to push my daughter has meant that she has made so much progress, both socially and developmentally and I can't thank the work of her room enough. My younger daughter's room is brilliant and her key worker has really helped her develop her skills and I again cannot thank her room enough. I love Cuddles and their staff and its the little things, like the Mother's Day event that I love.
Cuddles Day Nursery is a fantastic nursery. My children have all been very happy and well cared for during their time at Cuddles, and we will be very sad to leave when it is time for our youngest to move onto school. There is a wide range of activities for the children to enjoy including excursions outside of the nursery. All of the staff are friendly and caring and always take the time to ask after our older children who are now at school.
