Circus Day Nursery & Pre-school

Always highly recommending to friends and colleagues.

I’m so glad that we chose this nursery for our son. He has thrived during his time at Circus and I am perfectly satisfied that he has obtained all the skills necessary to progress into a primary school environment. They have helped create a confident, intelligent and enthusiastic little boy and he couldn’t be happier.

The nursery is located on a beautiful road in a spacious building with excellent outdoor facilities. Having a good variety of spaces to run, play and learn was important to us and this nursery definitely delivers on that. It is the staff at Circus that are the main selling point though, and you will be hard pushed to find a nursery with more enthusiastic, loving and nurturing staff. I couldn’t have found a perfect setting for my child and will be sad to leave them when the time comes to move on to pastures new.

My little boy started at Circus Day Nursery & Pre-school Ltd when he was about 7 months old. One of the things that really appealed to me when I first visited Circus was the outside space as it is a rarity in Cheltenham. I was also impressed to see risk assessments displayed throughout the building and a visit to the kitchen showed excellent cleanliness, facilities and food selection. Starting in the baby suite, it was a fantastic environment for my little boy both developmentally and socially. The baby facilities were excellent and we couldn't have asked for more. When the time came to move up to the next level, the transition was seamless and he has excelled and loves his days at nursery. One of the best things about Circus Day Nursery & Pre-school Ltd is the staff. They really are a credit and my little boy adores them. They provide a support to me as a parent that I never expected to receive and I couldn't wish for better.

Both my boys absolutely love going to Circus Day nursery. I could not ask for more from a nursery, the staff are amazing, the relationships they build with the children are nurturing and caring and they learn so much whilst having lots of fun. Such a friendly positive setting, I will actually miss it too when they move on to School!

There's a real sense of trust between her carers and us.

Circus Day Nursery & Pre-school Ltd is one big family. The staff and setting are excellent. Children are well cared for and my son loves life at Circus!

My daughter is always super happy when I pick her up from nursery and the staff are always making sure she has the best day! Keep up the hard work Circus.

We are so pleased we chose Circus. They have been looking after my daughter for just over 2 years now and my son around 6 months. Everyone who works in the setting is so warm and welcoming and the kids love them all. They are very accommodating to each child’s needs and try as much as possible to take into account parents wishes. I love that the children go outside every day (unless the weather is really awful) and have loads of space to explore in the big garden. I feel happy knowing that my children are being well looked after and having lots of fun when they are there. I would recommend Circus to anyone.

Our son attended Circus Day Nursery from 4 months to 4 years. Especially in the early days when leaving our tiny baby in the hands of others, the staff exceeded any expectations! They were so caring and full of enthusiasm and guided us through weaning and later potty training and towards the end phonics and a fab end of year performance. Circus organised so many fun activities and offered so much variety and stimulation, we could not have asked for more.

Both my little girl and boy attended the Circus Day Nursery, starting as babies and leaving to go off to school. I could not have asked for a more happy, creative, stimulating and loving environment to leave my children in while my husband and I went off to work. The staff treat each child with so much love and care and ensure that each day is full of fun and excitement with new experiences to stimulate learning. The Circus is truly a fabulous nursery which has enabled my children to be sociable, confident, and assured in all that they do. It has undoubtedly contributed to them flourishing.

This is a fantastic nursery. Not only are there lovely facilities, an amazing garden and freshly cooked meals, most importantly there is amazing staff! I can truly say that our little girl has formed a lasting bond with all of the people that have cared for her. They have been personal in their approach, caring and full of love and fun. Thank you, Circus!

Circus Day Nursery & Pre-School have been amazing, with my first child who started at 10 months and is now at school and my second who leaves for school in Aug this year. The staff really care and there is a very low staff turnover which is good for the children and also good for me as a parent as it shows me they love what they do and have a great team spirit and are happy in their work. This is demonstrated to me daily, they always have time to tell me how the day has been and are supportive when there have been any changes in my children's behaviour (as is par for the course!). My kids LOVE the staff, and if we see them out of the nursery setting they still run up for cuddles. They have been to see plays, gone to the park, literature festival. The learning reviews are great, you receive a full journal of their progress, my eldest was wonderfully prepared for school by them. From being an anxious mother dropping my little boy off at 10 months, it has been a wonderful journey. Best of all the kids love it!

We were really apprehensive about having to send our son to a nursery at 11 months old, but we fell in love with the setting as soon as we looked round - especially the outside space, and secret garden! Our son has now been at Circus Day Nursery for over a year and a half and absolutely loves it. He looks forward to going in and seeing his friends every day - it was so hard for us to leave him in the care of others all day, but knowing he is with the team at Circus really makes it so much easier... and to say he enjoys his day is an understatement!

He has spent there 3 amazing years, surrounded by lovely and caring people. I could not ask more for my child.

Love staff at Circus day nursery. I was a bit apprehensive to send my son to any nursery (talk about new mum apprehensions) at 11 months but all the staff, including managers, made us feel very welcomed and helped settle not only my little one but helped us (parents) go through the transition smoothly. Now, he has moved from baby suite to jugglers and he absolutely loves going to nursery. He talks about all the activities he does with his room staff and actually wants to go to nursery on Saturday and Sundays, who knew he would love being there so much. Now, his little sister will be joining him in nursery too and can’t wait for her to grow tremendously like her brother. I’m positive all the staff will make her fall in love with nursery too.

Our experience of the Circus Day Nursery & Pre-school has been fantastic and we would definitely recommend to others. My daughter started when she was 13 months old where she has developed in so many ways. Now she is 4 years old and is growing into a strong independent, free-thinking child. We put much of this to the care and attention she has received at the nursery.

My son is 2 years old and had attended Circus since he was 9 months old. He goes for 2 days and loves it! The staff are all brilliant with him and he has formed such good relationships with all of his key workers that he has had so far. It is so much easier leaving him all day knowing he is being looked after by people that seem to genuinely care for him and continue to help him progress. Thank you so much to all the staff there for making my son’s nursery days happy days.

My son started on the baby suite at Circus in May 2017 and it’s been amazing for him.

All the staff are wonderful and take such good care of the children and engage and support their development.

We have daily feedback and my son thoroughly enjoys his time at nursery. The garden is wonderful and the food is freshly prepared on site.

I would highly recommend Circus.

My eldest has attended Circus since he was 18months old (soon to be 4!) So when it was time to look for a nursery for my youngest I didn't think twice about where he would go. The love, care and guidance that all of the staff offer every child is amazing and I would recommend the setting to anyone.

A perfect choice for us.
