Very pleased overall. Staff are all nice and friendly and keep me up to date with my daughter's progress. Although she gets upset when I drop her off, she soon settles and is happy and full of smiles when I return to pick her up. Highly recommend.
We are on our accreditation journey with the curiosity approach so some areas of our environment are currently being reviewed to ensure that they create the awe and wonder that we want all of our children to experience at Building Blocks Nursery.
Always a warm welcome when entering preschool. When collecting my child, the staff are always interacting with the children.
Glad to hear you feel welcome at nursery, it is important to us that we establish positive relationships with children, parents and families.
Extremely happy with my son's whole journey with Building Blocks! Lovely staff, he always looked forward to going, thank you all.
Really informative and clear. Happy that we have a mutual understanding of development.
Staff have been extremely helpful and polite with the care provided to me and my daughter. They have always listened and provided with advice. I feel that we are part of a family and will be sad when my daughter leaves to go to big school.
Thank you for your feedback. We will be very sad to say goodbye too.
Very good staff members, polite and welcoming. Very good with our children, well looked after, kept clean and always on top of any issues. Happy Days 10/10.
Thank you for your feedback. It is really appreciated when parents share their feedback with us.
Brilliant, I couldn't fault any of the staff, very welcoming and has helped my daughter come on so much during the time she has been here. Very thankful to all the staff that have been very supportive through every step she has made.
Thank you for your feedback. We are very proud of our professional staff team.
Can't say a bad word for what you have done for the boys. Especially the early talk boost has helped massively.
Thank you for your feedback - the Early Talk Boost has been really successful for all children that have been part of this programme.
It is a great little nursery, my little boy settled really well and loves coming in. Since he started his language improved and he found a lot of new friends.
Thank you for your feedback - we do pride ourselves on the interventions that we put in place around speech and language development. We currently have three trained Early Talk Boost trainers who do small group interventions with preschool children who need language support.
The nursery has been such a life changer for my son. He has developed so much since starting. They care about him and are confident about his progression.
Thank you for your feedback - we really enjoy seeing the progress that children make.
Both of my children were made to feel very comfortable and have settled in brilliantly. I am able to address any issues and concerns which are always dealt with, not that I have any issues regularly.
Thank you for your feedback - we really like to hear what parents feel we do well.
Building Blocks is a wonderful nursery with very friendly caring staff. My little boy loves it here. He has come on leaps and bounds since starting here and I would definitely recommend.
Thank you for your feedback. It is lovely to hear that your little boy enjoys his time with us.
5 stars for Building Blocks!! Friendly staff, great place for fun and development. Great communication everything gets recorded, what my son has been doing during the day/eaten etc. 100% recommend.
My daughter has been attending the nursery for 3 months and has settled in brilliantly. All the staff are lovely, very friendly and professional. The communication between the staff and ourselves is excellent we are always given updates on her day.
My daughter has been coming here for the past four years. She has come on leaps and bounds thanks to the staff's support and guidance. My daughter's key worker has helped massively with my daughter's development over the past four years. The management team are great with any questions and queries we have.
Our staff take their role of key person very seriously and we work with children very closely to ensure their needs are met and that their development is progressing well.
Two of my children have attended this nursery and one is still presently attending. Both of my children have gained so much from this nursery. The staff are friendly, polite and very good with the children. My children have learnt so much phonics, counting, all about animals, writing their names. The management is always around when needed and fitted my child's hours around me.
Its great to hear from families that come back to us with other siblings as this is a good indicator that parents are happy with our service.
Both my children attend the nursery and I have noticed they have both come on so much since being here. They both love the staff and have made a lot of friends. I find the staff extremely helpful on all levels including personal as I am a single mom and they are so accommodating to my needs.
Thank you for your feedback. It is lovely to hear that parents comment on how we meet the needs of the whole family.
Since my daughter attended in 2015, she has excelled in all areas of her progression. She loves her time at nursery and I have no worries when dropping her every day knowing she is going to have a fun-filled day and be well looked after.
Thank you for your feedback. We take great pride in knowing that parents feel confident in the nursery and the care we provide.
I will be sad when my course finishes and my daughter will have to leave nursery. I'm considering keeping her on a few days a week :)
Thank you for your feedback. It would be lovely if you could continue to use the nursery once your course finishes.
I was referred to the nursery by my sister that attends another branch with my niece and I have to say it is one of the best nurseries that my daughter has attended. I would recommend this nursery to anyone as my daughter absolutely loves it there.
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate recommendations and we are very happy that you have had a good experience with us.
