Review from J G (Mother of Child) published on 6 January 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I am a mom who has a two-year-old currently at The Nest. All of the staff are incredible! They keep me informed and up to date, and my son loves it there. I love how the curiosity approach encourages my son to explore! Whenever I pick him up, he is always doing something different and looks happy and content.

I would 100 per cent recommend prospective parents to consider The Nest as a nursery for their child. I am so pleased that I did and can see the positive changes!

Incredible nursery. Wouldn't send my kids anywhere else, even if it was half the money. Absolutely lovely staff, very caring.

Amazing garden. Love the curiosity approach. My kids have learned a lot in terms of creativity and social skills.

The staff are very polite, understanding, friendly and approachable. They tell you detailed updates about the children, when picking them up and they know the children personally. I love the facilities and how natural the environment is.

Overall Experience

This is the best nursery I could ever have hoped for. The staff are really attuned to the needs of the children. My two children attend and I feel so reassured that they are having fun, learning and socialising in an environment geared towards exploration and development. The staff really understand the developmental needs of the children and they go above and beyond to meet the needs of the children and parents. They always keep me informed about their development and interests at nursery and are very accommodating.

Review from Fran M (Mother of Child) published on 28 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter attended The Nest Nursery Wood End between 2017 and 2020 and as a child, she absolutely loved it! My now 2-year-old is also attending and he loves it too.

Staff members are absolutely fabulous. Communication is great and the facilities, activities and learning methods are wonderful. So much so, that the nursery has been a sticking point for us to stay in the area. I pretty much doubt I will be able to find another nursery like it. The staff are trained regularly and are all so loving and caring. Little ones feel nurtured and as a parent, I am at ease knowing my child is happy, safe, loved and cared for.

Overall Experience

Couldn’t wish for a better nursery! The staff are amazing, caring, friendly and nurturing. The nursery environment at The Nest is lovelier than anything I would have imagined before seeing it. The ethos of the staff and nursery is in my opinion, just how all nurseries should be. I’d recommend The Nest to everyone. My child is so happy here!

Review from Emma L (Grandmother of Child) published on 11 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We really struck lucky getting a place at this nursery. Not only are all the staff kind and nurturing to the children, but the facilities are also outstanding. The children are safe and cared for beautifully and there is very much a feeling of 'family' which is reassuring. There is a huge garden and outdoor area for the children to explore and this is encouraged in all weather. My granddaughter absolutely loves it and has lots to tell me every evening, when I collect her. Although slightly late with speech development, it was picked up by her brilliant key worker, discussed and a plan put in place to help. We have seen positive change within weeks. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.

Overall Experience
I can not recommend this nursery highly enough.
After my eldest daughter was still not settled at a different nursery despite her having attended for well over a year, we decided to try The Nest Nursery Wood End when I started back at work after maternity leave with my second child. I am gutted I didn't just go there from the start! She settled so quickly. My second child (currently in their preschool group) and my youngest (currently in the baby room) both love it too. They love the freedom and space they have to explore, and I love how their inquisitive natures and desires to explore are encouraged. The whole setting rooms and garden, are a dream for the children to potter around in and engage with each other and their teachers. They do the most lovely activities for them to try out and explore. The Nest is a truly enriching experience every week.

The staff are awesome too - so supportive and understanding. They don't just host the children, they really know them and love them.

Review from Steve M (Father of Child) published on 18 March 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son moved from a local nursery to The Nest, where he thrived, built confidence through the outdoor activities, and made great friends. He's still in touch with some of those friends, even though they've now gone to different schools. My daughter now goes to The Nest, and she can't wait to leave the house in the morning to get to the nursery. The workers genuinely love the children. The daily reports are regular 'focus week' keeps parents engaged, and we always know what's going on at the nursery. Brilliant all-round!

Overall Experience

My child has been coming to The Nest for over two years and absolutely loves it. She is cared for and loved and I know that she has the most enjoyable time. With all the changes due to Covid the staff took it in their stride and made things safe with ease and went the extra mile to keep us involved e.g. sending photos of activities. They also put up lots of activities on tapestry for us to access. I would recommend this nursery to everyone.

Overall Experience

My experience with this nursery is just amazing. From the moment my daughter started, they put us both at ease as we have never been apart. My daughter loves everything about this nursery, every day she absolutely loves and enjoys being with the other children and all the staff. She has progressed so much and become a lot more confident with everyday life things. Also, my daughter comes out of the nursery so happy and always tells me what she has done, how nice the children and staff are, which makes me very happy that my child is in this amazing nursery.

Review from M E (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The nursery staff are really great and very friendly. They have accommodated all our requests (the use of cloth nappies) and ensured that all our needs as parents are met. Our son's key worker has a lovely bubbly and warm personality, which is impacting our boy's behaviour for the best. He has been thriving since he started attending and loves being there. We chose this nursery due to their child led principles which encourages the children to explore and work with natural resources, whilst still benefiting from organised play sessions. Our son loves the food they provide as well and finishes all his portions most of the time. The nursery is clean and the management have implemented Covid measures to minimise the risks.

My daughter has been attending this fantastic nursery since 11 months old and it's the best decision we made. The nursery has provided my daughter with a variety of natural resources to reach her full potential. They have a variety of activities which helps build a childs imagination and curiosity. Wonderful Forest School session and excellent and caring staff. A fantastic outdoor space on site where children can enjoy play in all weathers.

I am extremely happy with the care my child receives at the nursery. The staff have gone above and beyond during COVID to ensure the children continue to thrive in a caring and engaging environment. The staff have been very innovative in using technology to communicate and provide activities for children and parents. My child loves nursery and all the staff.

This is my 2nd child at The Nest Nursery Wood End, and myself, my husband and our children were and are so pleased with the staff, environment, attitude and the care your provide. Especially in these difficult times, thank you for being caring and implementing all the safety routines. He enjoys spending time at nursery, building new friendships and exploring. He loves Forset School and goes back to nursery every day with the smile on his face.

I have only ever experienced outstanding practice and care for my child in this setting. The quality of care and support for my child from all staff is only ever the best. My child goes to nursery with a smile and leaves with a smile. He is incredibly happy here. We love the setting, the activities available, the level of challenge and communication we receive from staff on all levels. We can't wait for his sibling to start here this year!
