Review from Paula S (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our little girl started the nursery in November and being a lockdown baby, we were extremely nervous about how she would settle. The staff were brilliant and allowed us all time to get used to the idea of being apart and our little girl has come on so much since starting.
The setting is so well thought out with lots of activities freely available for the children to explore independently and make decisions over what they wish to play with. The outside space is fantastic, and I love that the children are encouraged to use this space in all weathers. The observations provided are thoughtful, detailed and really allow you to appreciate the environment.
We find the staff to be attentive, caring, knowledgable and friendly, and our little girl loves them!

Highly recommend, and so happy with our choice, as I leave knowing she is safe and cared for.

Review from Danessah M (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have so many great things to say about this nursery. My son started in November 2020, so during the pandemic, so no-one was able to enter the building. This did not make me feel any less confident that my child would not settle well. My child had never met any adults nor children because of this pandemic.
In fact, he didn't go to anyone but me and his dad. A few days of his settling, I was so surprised how happy and confident he was. He has developed great relationships with staff and children; I have the staff to thank for that. They were and are still amazing with him. It's lovely to have a home to the home environment that has really helped. He has so many activities available at his level. I also love the fact that the room is set up looking inviting for him, with lots of natural resources for him to explore throughout the day. He has learnt so much and has developed so much since he started.
Decent meals!

He's always happy to go nursery and never wants to come home!

Overall Experience
My son absolutely loves coming to The Nest. The staff are welcoming, friendly and all extremely competent.
I can approach any one of them, and they will always help me out.
My son arrives and leaves with a smile on his face and has become more social and vocal and more confident since starting at The Nest.

I cannot recommend them enough.

Review from Michelle M (Mother of Child) published on 8 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I couldn’t be happier with The Nest Nursery. My little boy loves attending and runs happily into the building.
The whole ethos of the nursery is really excellent. I find it so reassuring that all of the staff are first aid trade (which is above and beyond the requirements set out for nurseries).
The children get a lot of time playing outdoors which I love. They also have the freedom to go to activities that interest them, rather than a set schedule.

My little boy comes home very happy and chatting all about his day and the adventures he’s had in the garden. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

Overall Experience
Fantastic provision provided at The Nest.

Every single practitioner is kind, caring and has the best interests of the child at the heart of all they do. The provocations provided for the children are inventive, enabling the children to be curious, excited and explorative in their approach to learning. The staff can not do enough to offer support and advice to parents; their care of my child at this setting has been outstanding every single day - they are truly a family, nurturing children to grow and progress!

Overall Experience

I wish every child could have the experience of attending a nursery as amazing as The Nest. Feel very lucky to have found such a stimulating, caring, safe place for our daughter. The learning environment and the quality of the day to day provision are second to none! I cannot speak highly enough of the staff, they have gone above and beyond to make my little one feel happy, secure, safe and loved whilst in their care; she absolutely loves going each day! A big thank you to the manager and her talented team of practitioners, keep up the great work ladies and gents!

Overall Experience
This is the best nursery ever. My daughter goes to the nursery since she was 9-months and she is going to be three years soo.

The staff are so friendly, kind and professional. I had a worry about my daughter's speech, and they have made a professional assessment of her and put a plan to help her at home and nursery. I would highly recommend them. My daughter is so happy with them, and I can see a lot of progress all the time.

Overall Experience
My daughter has been there now for a year. She loves to go and always coming back home telling us what they have done.
The activities are brilliant to help her develop, and forest school is great for them.
The staff are really caring and friendly. She calls them her big friends, and she loves them.
I love the communication the staff have with the parents.
They have been working really hard during this difficult year, and they have done a fantastic job.

Thank you so much!

My daughter is very happy at The Nest, she always gets excited when we tell her she's going to nursery and smiles on her way in. We're happy as we know she's kept busy all day and she is developing brilliantly.

Overall Experience

Both myself and my partner are very happy with the choice of The Nest as the nursery for our first child. The practices and ethos showed to us at our first visit have shone through in our child and we believe have been very beneficial in her development. We couldn't be any happier with The Nest and the wonderful staff that work there.

The Nest take such good care of our two girls aged 4 and almost 2. They treat our girls as real individuals and always show them respect. The environment is so beautiful and they are provided with a great range of opportunities too.

In my opinion, The Nest Nursery provides excellent care for my son, not only are the staff attentive and caring, they provide a 'home' away from 'home' for him making him feel safe and secure and excited to return.

Overall Experience

My two-year-old son attends two days per week. After previously sending my daughter here, I already knew how wonderful the nursery was. The Nest provides such a wide range of opportunities for my child and I know when I’m at work my child is engaged, having fun, learning lots, developing his independence and he has the chance to take part in activities that he might not get to do at home. This is great, but the most important thing for me as a parent is that I know he is cared for. I know at The Nest my son is cuddled when he’s upset and he is around a great team that know him very well and who he adores.

Overall Experience

The Nest have been fantastic with our son. The creative series of activities that they undertake on a regular basis have really helped him to develop his skills from walking and talking to using cutlery and painting. It is good to know that he gets so much from his nursery, given that he spends so much time there.

Overall Experience

At first, I was very guilty about putting my child in nursery but soon changed my opinion. Not just making new friends, he developed a lot of his skills, how to use a spoon, love for books, motor skills etc. But most of all, he looks happy going to nursery. He keeps learning new things every day. I miss him a lot while I'm at work but feel good he is in good hands. I'd like to say thank you to all the staff in The Nest, they are brilliant. Can't ask for more, I've chosen the best nursery for my son.
