My daughter joined this nursery September 2024 for the first time, they've been nothing but supportive, caring. Good at keeping in contact very reassuring. Very accommodating also. I absolutely love this nursery and I'm heartbroken she has to leave due to a house move. She's flourished so much in the past year and learnt so much and I'm proud of her and can't say thank you enough to the nursery for help making her the girl she is today. Xx
Thankyou for your feedback. Communication and interactions are so important to us at Building Blocks. We are very sad that you are relocating and wish you all the best for the future.
She absolutely loved going to nursery and talks about her teachers and friends all the time. We couldn't be more grateful for our time there and for the people that gave our little bundle of joy the best care and learning journey
The team there is brilliant at keeping us updated on her progress, and it's clear they put so much thought into planning fun and educational experiences for the children.

A lovely nursery, with hard-working staff who really care about the children. Both of our children have made super progress in all areas since they started. Always really clean and a lovely outside area.
Thank you for your feedback. The children spend a lot of time outdoors so its important that our outdoor environment is just as stimulating as our indoor environment.
Building Blocks is a brilliant nursery, the environment is home from home and the staff are all wonderful with my son. My son has come on leaps and bounds and loves to go to nursery. The food menu is brilliant and my son eats really well here. The manger cannot do enough and both mangers are very supportive and also have a fantastic bond with my son. 10/10 nursery couldn't reccomend enough.
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your comments and the fact that you feel the 'home from home' theme as we try really hard to create this atmosphere and sense of belonging.

Amazing nursery, with great communication. My child enjoys every day at nursery. Staff are very informative and very caring towards the children.
We have loved watching your little one grow from a baby to the lovely little boy he is and we are pleased we could be part of his journey.
My daughter has been attending Building Blocks Nursery for 6 months. She is very happy in the setting. All the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. I enjoy receiving updates on the app, it helps me check in on what my little girl is up to whilst I am away from her. The nursery is always clean and tidy and the children have many toys to play with and lots of learning opportunities.
We do have a great staff team and the app is a great platform for communication with parents.
Very good, clean and friendly environment. The staff are very welcoming and offer loads of information.
Great to hear you are pleased with the levels of communication as we do try very hard with this.
We couldn't imagine sending our little girl to any other nursery. She has come on leaps and bounds since joining in May 2022. The staff carry out the curiosity approach really well and I like the creative freedom it gives the children. The app that is used to share between home and nursery is really useful and makes communication easy and quick. Fantastic learning environments in all rooms and the staff that you can see are passionate about what they do.
It is great to hear that you like the curiosity approach as we do see the children benefit so much from this approach.
