Review from Claire M (Mother of Child) published on 23 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with The Nest nursery. From the very first day the staff have been incredibly warm, attentive and genuinely invested in our child's happiness and development. The environment is beautiful, with natural, eco-friendly sustainable resources throughout the setting. The balance of indoor and outdoor play is great as our child loves spending time outdoors. The garden is brilliant and has many fun activities to get involved in, from an outdoor kitchen to a secret garden. Our child has grown so much in confidence, communication and curiosity since attending The Nest, and its clear how much care and thought goes into all activities. Communication with parents is excellent, we always feel informed and reassured. Most importantly, our child is excited to go each day, which speaks volumes. We are truly grateful for the kindness and dedication from the entire team and would recommend this nursery without hesitation.

Review from C D (Mother of Child) published on 23 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little one joined the nursery in September when I returned to work and the nursery staff have made the transition easy. He loves going to nursery and learnt lots being there.
The curiosity approach is embedded throughout the provision giving children real life objects to explore safely. He's loved playing in the huge sandpit, playing in the role play kitchen and all the other activities.
Parents are kept well informed through the app, although there can be a delay in the uploads.
I have been particularly impressed with the quality of the food provided. My baby is only one so we limit salt and no sugar at home and the nursery are the same. Following all current guidance around offering starters not just puddings and offering second courses. He loves the food!
We're both teachers and would highly recommend this nursery.

The only negative is you can't swap days.

Overall Experience

I cannot fault the Nest Nursery in any kind of way. Since the day my daughter started, they have shown her so much kindness and care, even in the SMALLEST of details. Amaiyah spoke very early whilst at nursery and they continued to allow her to develop at that rate until now. I cannot thank them enough honestly. The Nest nursery was the best decision I made for her.

Review from Alba D (Mother of Child) published on 12 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We feel incredibly lucky that our children have had the opportunity to be part of the Nest. They both adore their Nest teachers and have built long-lasting friendships within the loving, nurturing and inclusive environment that the Nest provides.

We are so impressed with all the staff at the Nest - their warmth, empathy, playfulness and enthusiasm are truly remarkable.

They have also been incredibly supportive and have helped us and our children to navigate a difficult period in our lives - their kindness, flexibility and understanding have meant so much to us and have helped us massively.

The Nest's approach has also helped our children develop so much and really shine! We can't speak highly enough of their focus on child-led discovery, imaginative play and social-emotional development - a 'home-from-home' experience that values children's individuality and well-being.

We couldn't be more grateful to the Nest for their generous and insightful input into our children's lives.

Review from Anna K (Mother of Child) published on 10 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have been using the Nest Nursery - Wood End, for almost 6 years. It has a lovely, calm and nurturing environment, and the staff and management really care about not only your child, but you as a family unit. The house has a variety of areas to play in and a large exciting garden to encourage imagination. My children have had access to a wide range of experiences away from the nursery setting too, including forest school, family trips to the beach, theatre and to the local shop, exposing them to valuable life skills. The staff keep you up to date with photos and stories from the day and there is regular feedback to discuss your child's progress and development. They cater well to dietary requirements and make sure that children are safe, but not left out during meal times and if they're doing a baking activity. It is reassuring knowing that when you have to work, your child is safe and loved. Can't thank the team enough!

The staff at The Nest settled my little boy incredibly, with so much care and compassion. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and professional. The environment provided is so homely and inviting, with the children's learning at the forefront. All children are encouraged to be independent, and their individual autonomy is valued. The admin is also extremely knowledgeable and helpful with fees and funding.

Overall Experience
My daughter has attended the nest since she was around 9 months, she is now 4 and ready to fly the nest.
The nest has impacted our lives in such a positive way. Forest school and the curiosity approach has really encouraged her independence with a true and love for being outside.
My daughter often comes home excited to share how her day has been. The nurturing environment, caring and friendly staff have allowed her to thrive.

I am so grateful to all the staff for showing unconditional support, love and care over the years. You have created a wonderful environment to allow all children to grow in creativity and confidence. You will all be missed!

Overall Experience

We have been incredibly impressed with The Nest. My daughter started attending at 13 months old, and she settled extremely quickly. This is because of the care, patience and warmth that has been shown by each of the wonderful staff members. They took the time to really understand my daughter's individual needs, which made for a really smooth transition from home to nursery. Daily communication is excellent, with regular observation updates on the app too. The provision at The Nest is outstanding and my daughter just loves it!

Overall Experience

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough! My son who was 9 months old has settled in incredibly quickly and is always so happy to see the staff who are truly wonderful which really puts my mind at ease as a worried parent. They are friendly, supportive, and create a warm atmosphere that makes every visit enjoyable. The meals provided are nutritious and delicious, and the gorgeous rooms are full of new exciting experiences for my son to explore . The free flow nursery setup, along with the stunning garden, offers a fantastic environment for the children to explore and learn it has a really homely feel to it . Thank you to the staff for creating such a positive experience for my son. It's the perfect environment for him to feel happy, comfortable, and safe. Highly recommend!

Review from Shama S (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

One of the best nurseries we've been to by far. The setting and ethos is well planned around children and their development. The Forest School is amazing and there's always little trips for the children and involvement of parents. You will always see the manager with the kids taking part and being involved. The manager and all the staff are always approachable, polite and have your child's best interest at heart and their dedication is seen at all times. Would highly recommend!

Overall Experience

My little one joined The Nest Nursery Wood End at the beginning of January. We are now in the fourth week and she is settled in. She enjoys her day here and her food and sleep routine are back to normal. She enjoys the garden which she is able to freely explore under the supervision of the team. The team encourages independence when eating and drinking. I would totally recommend The Nest Nursery.

I could not recommend this nursery any higher. Both my children have attended and I'm so comfortable leaving them there. The staff are highly trained, helpful, polite, welcoming and respectful. They notice changes with your child instantly and act accordingly. Focus week is amazing, very insightful as you get personal feedback on your child's development and app updates are lovely.

The nursery is great. I would recommend it for everyone.
The staff are friendly and professional. They have great outdoor space - a large garden with a secret garden and a newly built pond. Great activities.
My daughter loves the music lady activity and forest school adventures.

It is quite expensive but I believe you get your money's worth.

I cannot rate The Nest highly enough. My daughter has been attending six months now and has developed so much since joining, thanks to all the activities the staff put on. All the staff at The Nest are wonderful and always happy which reflects on how great the nursery is run. The daily activities are ever changing and the curiosity approach to learning seems to have really helped my daughter in her development. Knowing my daughter enjoys going there and knowing that she is in safe hands keeps me reassured daily. Thank you The Nest!
