Review from Kathryn B (Mother of Child) published on 30 September 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My three-year-old daughter has attended this nursery since she was a baby, she loves it.
The staff are fantastic. I feel totally confident with the care that they provide.
The recent refurbishment of the premises is wonderful, the garden provides a fabulous outside area for the children to explore
and get lots of fresh air.
Every day my daughter comes home with lovely gifts for me, drawings, paintings that she has made, she can't wait to sing me the songs they teach her or retell the stories they read together.
They are very flexible and accommodate my last minute changes in my working schedule.
I really can't recommend this nursery enough. I'm so grateful to all of the wonderful staff for all that they do for us.

Review from Antony G (Father of Child) published on 13 September 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended York House Nursery for 4 and a half years and and my son has attended for 1 year. Both of my children love their time at the nursery each day, and to them both, it’s like a home from home.


York House has undergone significant improvement in the last year. It now has better

facilities, equipment and it genuinely feels like a safe, clean and fun environment for children to learn and play in.


It is clear to me that all staff take pride in what they do, striving to ensure all children are cared for, nurtured and educated in a way that benefits them as individuals.


Nothing beats seeing a happy child as you sneak a peak on them whilst picking them up, and this has never failed to happen!


I have full confidence in the management and all the staff at York House and I am excited to see what they have in-store for the future. I (and I’m sure my children aswell) would absolutely recommend this nursery to any parents looking for EXCELLENT childcare.

My daughter has attended York House since she was 9 months old, now 4 1/2. The nursery as a whole has improved by the take over by Busy Bees. I find all staff caring and attentive and feel they are valued and purposeful. I am hoping that the garden will improve as the weather improves and also interior
decoration. My daughter always comes home happy, healthy and beaming with pride that she has had an excellent day. Big thanks to all!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We have used York House for a little over two years, during this time we have felt they have been amazing through my child's development.
They provide us with an amazing, flexible service and work with us to support my child.
Each staff member brings a strength that contributes to a seemingly well-oiled
machine. The manager is approachable and supports her team by helping out whenever needed.

Job Title: Centre Director Joined: 2024

I joined Busy Bees back in May at the Eastleigh Centre. I then took over the Salisbury York House Centre in August which I adore. The team, children and families have made me so welcome, and I look forward to our future here at York House.
