Strode College Day Nursery

My daughter started attending strode in January and she has absolutely loved it there so far, she is always excited when it's a nursery morning to attend. My son went to Strode before her too, and though they are both very different personalities they have both thrived in their time with the strode team. All the staff have different but very complimentary talents in their roles which makes the team so brilliant for all children's personalities. The team are all so kind and always strive to make sure the environment and learning experience is really well rounded for all children, I'm so happy both my children have been able to come here and be cared for by these ladies.

Lots of bikes and great toys which my son loves

The team are absolutely amazing and so caring. My little one has struggled to settle into nursery and they have done everything possible to make her feel as comfortable and happy as they can to make her experience the best it can be. They have worked closely with us as her parents and been very flexible with hours to help build her confidence. The environment is very warm and loving and the activities are varied daily to help my little one learn and grow.

A lovely inclusive and caring little nursery who really put the needs of both my children first. They are supported and nurtured in every way and the opportunity to go swimming is incredible. The staff are brilliant and can't do enough to help our little ones. Thank you.

My son is loving his time at nursery. He is thriving there. The staff are all really friendly and approachable and have helped us through some tough times as a family. My other children will be attending in the future

The staff are always really helpful & friendly. My daughter has grown in many ways since starting a few months ago. - She is SO much more confident and you can tell she's learning lots everyday. She enjoys swimming and I love that this is offered as an extra.

Amazing facility. Friendly staff and so much for the children to do. My daughter loves going and settled in really quickly. The handovers are thorough and the staff are so approachable. I highly recommend the nursery.

Our son has been attending Strode Nursery since September and he absolutely loves the time he spends there. The staff are brilliant - so engaging, caring and empathetic, and there's always varied activities on offer throughout the day. The setting is cosy and homely, and there's plenty of outdoor toys to engage with outside. I'd 100% recommend this nursery!

Absolutely wonderful nursery, our son has gone from strength to strength thanks to the amazing experiences available and fantastic key workers at Strode. We have felt supported and understood through every step of our son's pre-school journey and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Strode to anyone in and around the local area.

Staff work extremely hard as a team and all know my child so well. They are knowledgeable, experienced and offer lots of variety in terms of activities and snacks so my child has lots of opportunities to try new things, including swimming, picnics and trips.

I am really impressed with how the team work together and offer a space that's versatile enough to allow for child led planning/activities and also incorporates routine (e.g. tooth brushing). The mud kitchen and new Wendy house are also lovely additions!

My little one has thrived over the last 2 years and has been supported to grow in confidence - developing numeracy, literacy, emotional and social skills that have prepared her for starting school next year.

She comes home always talking about her day and who made her day a good day.

Staff are great and always give me time at drop off and pick up, to check in or tell me about his day.

The activities and extras things they do for the children is fantastic and so good to build confidence.

My son has been attending for roughly four months. The nursery staff are kind, inclusive and brilliant with my son. I feel very secure and at ease leaving him there knowing that he will be well looked after and have a brilliant time. He is always excited to go and happy! They are great with organising extra activities for the children.

My daughter absolutely loves preschool. There are so many different activities that she is excited to go to preschool for. It is lovely seeing all of the photos on the app as it is clear that she has a ball. She has really developed socially since going to Strode and we are really thankful for their ongoing support.

Our daughter has attended Strode College Day Nursery for around a year and a half now and we couldn't be happier. She is always happy to go and talks fondly of all the staff. We love how they are led by the children's interests and the wide range of activities they do. It's great seeing what they get up to on social media and the app. It's a small nursery, enabling each child to get to know everyone and feels very personal and homely.

From the first moment of visiting Strode College Day Nursery, we knew it was a place full of love and warmth with a homely feel. They are always up to so many different activities from regular swimming lessons to litter picking and then seasonal days out too. Our daughter has a fantastic time during her four days a week here, we are very grateful she is well looked after and she comes home with lots of happy stories to tell.

The team always take extra time to explain what your little one has been up to during the day.

My daughter was born in India and after we relocated to England. When she was two years we took her to one of the ones that were open, but she showed no interest in going there at all. Furthermore, we weren't happy with the lessons or activities. Then we discovered Strode Nursery. Thus, she began the nursery and she adored the place so much that I'm not sure what magic happened. I cannot express how much I appreciate the staff's care and instruction. Since she does not speak English, I am aware that it was challenging for the teachers. They therefore trained her in sign language and even used books in our mother tongue. She is now speaking in simple sentences and has learned a lot of English vocabulary. In addition, she started requesting that I go to the nursery every day as she can't wait to go to nursery. The Strode crew is outstanding, and I have told many of our friends who have relocated to England from India about Strode Nursery. Fantastic job, Strode team.

I moved my daughter to the nursery when she was two in 2023, I was quite anxious about how she would transition to a new environment after being in another nursery but the staff were instrumental in her settling so quickly. My daughter is thriving at the nursery, staff go above and beyond and are truly child-led. She has experienced so many opportunties to extend her learning and develoment and I am so impressed with the educational provision at the nursery. The small setting means my daughter is receiving so much individualised support and care and I feel confident that all the staff know my child and how to meet her needs. The atmosphere in the nursery is friendly and inclusive, the staff foster a culture of kindness. The staff also plan lots of opportunties that challange my child and encourage her independence including getting the bus, rugby and swimming but within a supportive and safe environment. My daughter loves going to Strode Nursery, she is happy and safe.

Our son has recently started attending this nursery, having been booked in since he was around 7 months old! I visited many local nurseries and loved Strode and knew it was the nursery for our son. The staff are all lovely and I love the setting’s ethos and child-led approach. I also love the fact that it’s a small setting as this really suits our son. All of the staff have been very supportive in settling our son into nursery and also very accommodating in terms of supporting us with his start and sharing information. Thank you to all of the team - we look forward to the rest of our family’s journey with you over the next couple of years!
