The Nest Nursery Copper Beech

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. Both my children have attended (son 9) and my daughter aged three is currently there. The staff care and love for the children like they are their own. I had to put both of my mine in at 6-months to return to work, and I’ve always felt comfortable leaving them so young as I know how well they are being looked after and the fun they have. Plus, the communication from nursery and the lovely pictures they post throughout the day on Facebook, brighten up days at work! I love what they have done with the curiosity approach, and they have handled covid amazingly and kept some sense of normality for the children in these strange times. She will really miss nursery when she starts school in September, and all the staff, as will I.

Our daughter has been attending The Nest Nursery for over a year after being with a childminder. The difference in our daughter is night and day, she has grown in confidence, in particular her social skills. She thinks of the staff as her friends and often refers to them as such. She has built up a good circle of friends, enjoys the activities, the food and always comes out at the day's end, visibly buzzing and happy. I wholeheartedly recommend The Nest Nursery.

We just love this nursery! Both of my children attend and they both love it. All the staff are amazing and we love the fact that they follow the curiosity approach. My eldest does forest school as well with them which she loves. They have been so amazing and accommodating throughout this pandemic - I can't thank them enough for providing a stable and safe environment for my children in times of such uncertainty. I highly recommend this nursery, it's been worth every penny and more.

My child has been going to the nursery for around 5 months and she loves it. The staff are are brilliant and they have made so much effort to get know and form a bond with my child. I have also been so impressed in the curiosity approach. It creates such a wonderful place for young people and focuses on all the things that I value in our family. As much as possible the nursery supports the children to spend time outdoors, explore sand, mud and water and when they are indoors they do a lot of singing and musical activities. They also have brilliantly high standards of food, giving the children nutritious meals every day, and overall their standards of care are excellent. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

I couldn’t recommend this nursery more. My son has been going for a year and a half. He is so well looked after. The staff are lovely and form really strong bonds with the children and there seems to be a very low turnover of staff too. The curiosity approach is great and creates a calm and stimulating environment for the children, so they learn to play and use their imagination rather than just be ‘entertained’. My son has additional needs and the nursery SENCO as well as his key workers have been outstanding and making sure his needs are cared for. It’s so difficult for any parent leaving their child for the first time but they made it so easy from day one. My son has developed so much since restarting nursery after lockdown, and he missed it so much when we couldn’t go. The food is incredible - it is all freshly prepared and my son eats foods he turns his nose up to at home! To sum up; it is a happy, caring and loving environment with outstanding staff. Definitely recommend!

We also love that the nursery follows the curiosity approach, our daughter isn't bombarded with plastic toys and is encouraged to play outdoors with natural resources.

The garden is a huge hit with both boys and they love all the time they spend outside.

We recently started with The Nest and have been very impressed with the nursery. Our son has settled very quickly and we have noticed a real positive change. He is more independent and loves to be outside exploring. The Nest's curiosity philosophy is great and the information we receive on tapestry has given us some really helpful parenting tips. Overall, we would highly recommend The Nest and the lovely nurturing care the staff provide.

A fantastic setting that is really tuned into child development and a child-centred approach. It is always fantastically resourced with natural resources and real objects. A lovely outside space that is well maintained and set up to engage the children. A caring environment where the children feel happy and safe.

It's very sad to say goodbye after 6 years.

Highly recommended and we’ll miss the Nest when he leaves to start school in September.

My son has grown enormously in confidence since starting at the nursery. He is so content and happy in the environment, he feels safe there. All of the 'teachers' are amazing and it is so sad to say goodbye. It's been 7 years that we, as a family, have been using Copper Beach and we could not want for anything more. They have given our children the perfect start from which they can grow and the best stage on which to shine. Thank you from the very bottom of our hearts.

The nursery is brilliant, both my son and daughter attend and they have both loved it. The outside space is amazing and so much for the kids to do and explore. Forest School is amazing and my son loves it. I can't recommend this nursery enough.

The Nest has been an amazing nursery. All the staff contributed so much to my child's development and I will forever be grateful. We will miss the nursery.

The nursery has an amazing atmosphere as soon as you approach the building. The managers and all members of staff are friendly and approachable. They all have a good relationship with the children. I have and will continue to recommend this nursery for their wonderful setup and their curiosity approach that works wonders!

This is a lovely nursery, with a stimulating and nurturing learning environment and high expectations of the children.

Great nursery. Staff are very accommodating with our dietary requirements and cloth nappies. My daughter settled in very quickly and enjoys coming to the nursery.

I could see that my son has made great progress since he started at this nursery more than 6 months ago. He seemed to enjoy nursery and has made some great friends. Staff are caring and attentive and friendly. Focus week and Tapestry are great ways to get to know what he has been up to at nursery. All in all, we are happy that he is learning and developing well.

The Nest are an excellent nursery and the care that my son receives is of a very high standard. They also cater to my son's allergies and take every precaution to ensure his safety.

The staff are lovely and take time to talk to you about their day.
